It is a bit weird. I said that Dems are not doing enough about and KB answers with "you must really like Republicans and their climate policies."

I understand it to some extent, as a flavor of . When you believe there is no alternative to a two-party system or and no chance of a radical change, small incremental "wins" is all you can hope for. Then you lash out at "doomers" for speaking the truth.

To —the inability to imagine a world without capitalism—we can add “Hierarchical Realism,” the inability to imagine life without the sort of violent hierarchies of command we live under today.

It’s a close corollary to the Hobbesian Fallacy, the idea that life in the absence of the state is nasty, brutish, and short.

Hierarchy is not inevitable or universal. We do not perish without the state.

Kill the cops in your mind.

@LexYeen - 'It is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.'
Mark Fisher wrote a whole book about it.

In capitalism's anti-mythic myth, calculating business and a hugely amplified sentimental interiority become the only two faces of "reality", the cynicism of the one using the alleged authenticity of the other as its alibi.

Disaffection is incorporated into the mainstream while banal business presents itself as cool & cutting-edge, summed up by the rise of TV business shows such as The Apprentice & Dragon's Den, in which dreary & charmless opportunists get posited as charismatic cultural figures.

Our misery, like our dreams, is the work of anonymous hands. It's an impersonal sadness, a nonspecific but pervasive pathos, that arises from the impasses of a culture where business has shut down not only the strangeness of the unconscious, but also any possibility of an outside.

Neoliberalism reproduces itself through cynicism, through people doing things they "don't really believe". It's a question of power. People go along with auditing culture and business ontology not necessarily because they agree with it, but because that's the ruling order.

The philosophers Armen Avanessian and Mark Fisher meet in Innsbruck at a Zirbelstuben-like venue to talk over Semmeln and coffee about smartphones, depression and the ambiguities of academic life.

(from 2016 I believe)

With recent films like Air, Blackberry, and Flamin' Hot, 2023 seems to be the year of the Corporate Product Biopic Film. If this cinematic trend continues, I'm crossing my fingers for "Glass Houses: The Pet Rock Story" being released sometime next year ...

Breaking is really as easy as telling yourself

"You can just do stuff"

And then doing it.

the ghosts of by lola seaton

“Is it possible to retain some of the libidinal, technological infrastructure of capital and move beyond capital?"

Here Fisher dreams of a world “in which all the marvels of communicative technology could be combined with a sense of solidarity much stronger than anything social democracy could muster".

"Who knows what a culture in which the internet co- existed with strong social security would look like?"

luxury. In gentrifying Koreatown, where unhoused people die on the street daily, this building rents out studio apartments for $2200-$3700/month. Its tenants still complain of bedbugs and roaches, indoor smoking, flooding and mold. The broken neon sign signals, in true fashion, the failures of this economic order. A US where nothing functions, where even the wealthy have poor . The poor die for nothing.

Already half way through this book 📖 and can't put it down! How relevant it is today even though it was written over a decade ago

@Penguinflight Nice you got there. It'd be a shame if someone were to... imagine the end of capitalism.
