I've only lived in Glasgow proper for a few years. I grew up in a scheme ten miles down the road. And I've lived in a few nice places but I've also lived in some real shitholes. Flats in the West End have high ceilings and bay windows but you're surrounded by University Yahs and the transport isn't great - the south is much better but even that's getting gentrified nowbeautiful red sand stone and massive doors and high ceilings and here he is fucking whining
I made all my best friends at after parties. We'd spend weekend after weekend chatting shit to each other for about 40 hours solid.
I miss those days but they're still my best friends. And also it drives you mental after a few years i found
both these terms very contentious here arent they but i took your question to be 'is the left honest?'When we talk about escape, exit, are we talking spiritually or materially? Can both be done?
ain't that also depressive after a while? the next day these people are gone, sometimes you can't even remember what they said?I have made so many one-night best friends thanks to afterparties. So many people who've spilled their guts to me and told me all kinds of deep and important things that I'll probably never see again. It's great.

the way I see it, it can serve a function on both sides - Sometimes it's easier to open up to strangers precisely because of that lack of attachment and the unlikelihood of seeing them again. Not everyone can or should be a close friend, sometimes people wander into your life and back out and what value they bring is right for that circumstance and that only.ain't that also depressive after a while? the next day these people are gone, sometimes you can't even remember what they said?
To a degree, but I wouldn't say opposing neoliberalism's exclusive to the left. There are plenty of people on the right who take issue with it, or aspects of it, too.both these terms very contentious here arent they but i took your question to be 'is the left honest?'
and that question has to reckon with how desires, aspirations are produced (they aren't just ours... i like what i like cos i like it) and the boring hypocritical accusations that follow from there 'you use an iphone and yet...'
No, no and no.1) Do we really want out?
2) If we do, can we actually get out?
If I'm buying Deleuze and Marx and whoever from Amazon then does my reading them really do anything?
This is how I feel about the JFK stuff. What would it actually mean to discover the truth? Nobody could really do anything. It would just be a case of "We know we can't do anything, but we know it was you. You haven't pulled the wool over everyone's eyes, you bastards".I think some of it amounts to knowing you can't doing anything, but wanting to feel as though you at least aren't under any illusions about it. A grasp for some measure of control. You can't stop the corrupt people being corrupt, but they at least haven't tricked you into believing they aren't corrupt.
