scarcity_of_the_self [none/use name]

If I blocked you it’s because you post the most godawful crap, just complete garbage about the general election and other stuff that clutters my feed. No hard feelings! It’s just you’re almost as bad as Google News!

So if you are here on an alt to argue with me, that’s cool with me. Not the slop.

  • Are they really that much better? I will admit it’s actually worth a listen since it’s not like listening in on the most depressing video conference ever, it is an actually structured and informative show made by people I consider well-intentioned radlib idealists. I listen to it for the same reason I tune into Al Jazeera building credibility to attack the “totalitarian dictatorships” backing Hamas, or willingly subject myself to John Mearshimer’s screeds. They bring something to the fucking table.

    Chapo was interesting a few years ago when they were clearly doing a lot of drugs and thought they were hot shit, but it was also wince inducing. There was also the potential of them becoming more widely relevant but instead they are just huffing duster wirh Chris Smalls and Tim Heidecker. Nobody should be surprised but at one point they did have this air of uncertain potential.

    This community you have formed is very funny. On the one hand you have Mark Fisher pilled extreme idealists who have begun to bridge their way over to the critical theory posting (please stop, but not my life so I won’t stop you), on the other hand you have geopolitics watchers who have independently realized that Mearshimer is a knucklehead, thinks every country seeks HOI4 style world domination and that the US is controlled by its suzerainties (LOL) when they hold every single industry by the balls and provide all military intelligence and marching orders.

    Those things would be more contradictory if people had worked things out without spending every single moment consuming or producing posts. This is almost four paragraphs about Chapo Trap House and r/ChapoTrapHouse so I will finish here adding, it is clear why this happened, you can talk about any facet of it for days.




  • Mark Fisher in a trenchcoat approaches you, not realizing you are internet scarred and know who he is. He offers you the tongs.

    “H-hey buddy, don’t you want to be normal pilled? Not like those crazy Leninists, hah hah. Normal. Able to seamlessly fraternize with the neighborhood. No more breakdowns in public. Which you were probably having too.”

    You flee into the night only to become part of the spectacle as you run smack dab into a nonviolent protest group from local radlibs organizing to end the war in Ukraine, they push you into the police thinking you are a wrecker and you die in custody from a “malfunctioning” taser after they cellebrite your phone and find your Nasrallah memes unencrypted
