im brushing up on my deleuze and guttari b4 i get into the thirst for annihilation

ive really been inspired in my creative process to start watching stuff that challenges me, so im tryna apply that to philosophy

but its hard tho when ur black and ur like "why would i ever read some s*** that wants to deny my humanity"

Yeah, that’s what I was trying to do as well. Been doing a pretty deep dive into accelerationism lately

Nick Land is overall deplorable but he does make some good points about certain topics at times

I found this to be pretty interesting and have been thinking about it a lot lately. Think there’s a lot of implications for how we think about political organizing that we need to grapple with

I also think it’s important to read Nick Land and grasp the nonsense he’s promoting because his brand of fascism is really the brand of choice for a lot of Silicon Valley tech bros. Who as you know have a lot of influence and money in all the right places. I think he’s thought is going to become increasingly influential and will serve as a road map for modern reactionary movements. It’s a reason Steve Bannon loves s*** like Land and Mencius Moldbug.

Think we gotta understand this stuff if we want to combat it in the coming years

p sure that's like his main source of influence tbh, from the little i know of him :

off topic but just gonna ask since u seem to know a lot about maoism and post modernism

https://www.bannedthought.net/India/PeoplesMarch/PM1999-2006/publications/post-modernism/contents.htm

if u did i just want ur takes on since i don’t have a good grasp of post modernism so i don’t understand the criticism as much

D&G, Nietzsche, Kant, CCP post Mao, and Capital 3 Marx

Very heady ideological cocktail

"...the sacred substance amphetamine...After perhaps a year of fanatical abuse it (Nick referring to himself in a completely dehumanized way) was, by any reasonable standard, profoundly insane...On one occasion...a car being driven by the sister of its thing (the ruin). It was night, on a motorway. The journey took several hours. During the previous night, Christmas Eve, it had followed its usual course into fanatically prolonged artificial insomnia. It had spent the time devoted to futile 'writing' practices - it still pretended to be 'getting somewhere' and was buoyant with ardent purpose...It was accompanied to the early hours by a repetitive refrain 'from next door' - a mediocre but plausible rock song whose insistent lyric circled around the words: "Going to hell." ... In the car it listened to the radio for the whole journey. Each song was different, the genres varied, the quality seemingly above average, the themes tending to the morbid. "This is a cool radio station," it said to its sister. "The radio isn't on," its sister replied, concerned. Vauung learnt that the ruin's unconscious contained an entire pop industry...Nothing more was said about it. Why upset your family?"

I mean I think you know my response to this lol and I don’t wanna get into with the more orthodox MLs on this site rn

Let’s just say a lot of the things I have problems with the CCP for is what Nick Land venerates

oh yeah i know and i’d agree with you on em but i was just more curious about their philosophical roots like who they inspired by nowadays
