the kantbot nexus

[luka]

these are my favourite twitter accounts at the moment. in the hallowed tradition of anglo/american cranks. part bullshit, part autism, part genius, part mental illness

have you seen the video?

 

[line b]

 

[luka]

german idealism? of course. hes changed tack though. do you follow them?

 

[line b]

not actively. hes rebranded as a kind of left adjacent guy ya?

 

[luka]

he had a row with @xenogoth recently and xenogoth posted loads of screenshots of private whatsapp messages etc that was pretty funny

 

[line b]

cant wait for suspended to kick down the door on this thread

not actively. hes rebranded as a kind of left adjacent guy ya?

broadly speaking albeit they all hate the gays/trans crew

yeah i know. i didnt say theyre role models. theyre really very full on cranks. but ive always loved cranks since i read ts eliots hit piece on william blake

 

[luka]

i thought, im very much on blakes side here. im not converting to anglicanism just so i can plug into some sanctified 'tradition'

these people can never be role models. it would zap the fun

https://twitter.com/EBBerger this is the sanest of them. he lives in kentucky for some reason https://twitter.com/EBBerger

 

[luka]

one reason i find them interesting is that they read books. stan is interesting because he refuses to read books but that makes him a representative member of his generation. the pursuit of knowledge without reading

 

[luka]

nobody here with the possible exception of limburger reads for the simple reason that it has become virtually impossible

 

[luka]

to the point that being able to read is worthy of note in and of itself

 

[luka]

this is the one i find most enetertaining https://twitter.com/Logo_Daedalus also the one who really has a bee in his bonnet about the gays
also an increasingly shrill propagandist for xis china

 

[luka]

he talks about blake who he might of read and pound and olson who he probably hasnt read. all of which endears him to me. hes not heard of prynne.

 

[luka]

he also writes bad poetry, which also endears him to me

 

[luka]

i'd be surprised because they strike me as too unsocialised, too volatile, too egotistical... but who knows

 

[luka]

yes this is a perpetual problem with twitter
