Patriots have never been more in control
Parikh also said he was concerned they are no longer selling “real chicken” at Cracker Barrel, a restaurant that has become a fixation for conservatives following a recent rebrand. “The food was going downhill before all their woke stuff,” Parikh said. Along with food, Parikh said he is concerned about soda and claimed he always mixes it with alcohol “to sanitize it.” “People, just — they’ve got to wake up,” Parikh said. After hearing Parikh’s long list of grievances, I pressed him once again on who exactly is in the “cabal” and “deep state.” He cited the longrunning NBC television thriller “The Blacklist,” which starred James Spader.

Detail of the above image reading: For immediate release. Friday, August 9, 2019 Wikipedia screenshot: The death of Jeffrey Epstein, an American child sex offender, financier, serial rapist and human trafficker, occurred on August 10, 2019. Guards claimed to have found Epstein unresponsive in his jail cell at 6:30 a.m. at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City, hanging off the side of his cell's bed, Russ Cole from True Detective sitting at a conference table, beer in front of him, smoking a cigarette, his arms out from his sides, as if to suggest he's at a loss for words

What the hell, man
UNITED STATES ATTORNEY'S OFFICE Southern District of New York U.S. ATTORNEY GEOFFREY S. BERMAN FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Friday, August 9, 2019 http://www.justice.gov/usao/nys CONTACT: U.S. ATTORNEY'S OFFICE James Margolin, Dawn Dearden Nicholas Biase (212) 637-2600 STATEMENT OF MANHATTAN U.S. ATTORNEY ON THE DEATH OF DEFENDANT JEFFREY EPSTEIN Manhattan U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said: "Earlier this morning, the Manhattan Correctional Center confirmed that Jeffrey Epstein, who faced charges brought by this Office of engaging in the sex trafficking of minors, had been found unresponsive in his cell and pronounced dead shortly thereafter. Today's events are disturbing, and we are deeply aware of their potential to present yet another hurdle to giving Epstein's many victims their day in Court. To those brave young women who have already come forward and to the many others who have yet to do so, let me reiterate that we remain committed to standing for you, and our investigation of the conduct charged in the Indictment which included a conspiracy count remains ongoing. We continue to urge anyone who feels they may be a victim or have information related to the conduct in this case to please contact 1-800-CALL FBI." 19-XXX ###

Wild that David Hume said "causality is just a habit" and Kant got so mad that he wrote the Critique of Pure Reason about it.

Could not have done this without @superhayo.bsky.social who has been a treasure to read alongside. (Also couldn't have done it without G.J. Mattey's lecture notes. Thanks 👑)
Critique of Pure Reason by Immanuel Kant, Translated by Werner S Pluhar

TLDR, Kant says "All my haters become my waiters when I sit down at the table of success"
What, then, is to be done about this contest, above all as regards the danger arising from it that seems to threaten the common best interest 205 ? Nothing is more natural and nothing more appropriate than the decision that you have to make concerning this contest. Just let these people do as they wish; if they show talent, if they show themselves engaged in deep and new investigation-in a word, if they just show reason-then reason always gains. If you adopt other means than those of an unconstrained rea­ son, if you scream about treason or call together the community as if to put out a fire, as it were, then you make yourselves ridiculous. For the is­ sue is not at all what side among these is advantageous or disadvantageous to the common best interest, but only how much reason may achieve in its speculation that abstracts from all interest, and whether this speculation can count for anything at all or must perhaps rather be given up for what is practica1.206 Hence instead of flailing about with your swords, you should rather watch this contest quietly from the secure seat of critique. This con­ test is troublesome for the combatants, but entertaining for you; and-given an outcome that is certain to be bloodless-it must tum out to be profit­ able for your insights.

Haven't thought about Shaun King in a long time but I had to look up something on twitter and he's reposting straight up antisemitic blood libel stuff.
Shaun King reposting a Ella Maulding tweet: "No, Epstein and his clients weren't "having sex" with "underage women" They were raping children. They saw white girls as subhuman "goyim," " It continues below but it's just more antisemitism that I don't want to put on the timeline

I'm hosting a reading group. It starts next Monday at 9EST 6PST and will run for approximately seven weeks.
It's a pretty great book that I think you should read even if you don't want to join the reading group. DM me for the discord link.
Let's read, discuss, and critique: "Male Fantasies, Vol. 1: Women, Floods, Bodies, History " By Klaus Theweleit. (Dates and pages are tentative and subject to change) 2/9 - Foreword to pg 50 2/16 - pg 50 to 100 2/23 - pg 100 to 171 3/2 - pg 171 to 228 3/9 - pg 229 to 300 3/16 - pg 300 to 363 3/23 - pg 363 to 439 Mondays at 9:00p EST 6:00p PST Runs for approximately 1.5-2hrsMondays at 9:00p EST 6:00p PST Runs for approximately 1.5-2hrs (No one will fault you if you have to check out early but please try to arrive on time.) Some Best Practices For Reading and Disccussing: "Male Fantasies, Vol. 1: Women, Floods, Bodies, History " (This list is fluid and not comprehensive) We follow Barto's Golden Rule: Don't say anything over electronic communications that you wouldn't want a judge to read back to you. This book can be difficult - both on a conceptual level and by the nature of the subject matter. Give each other room to react and struggle with the text. The ban hammer drops for racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or just being an asshole. That being said, this text is from 1977 and it includes ideas and terminology that would not appear in an academic text today. Let's navigate these gently and show each other grace. Mistakes happen! Respond with call-ins, not call-outs. We're all here to learn and grow. Listen when others are speaking. If someone in the group is making you feel uncomfortable in any way, please reach out to Barto directly. If needed, we may adjust the speed as we move through the text. Once the Discord is open, feel free to use the chats between sessions for help with the text, comradery, or whatever. All best practices also apply to the chats. Have fun

Kant is such a bad writer that, 600 pages in, the translator drops a footnote saying "if you liked reading this paragraph, he wrote another one well 300 pages ago."

Male Fantasies is such an ambitious project. I've been thinking about volume 1 since I finished it and this will surely roll around in my brain until we stomp out the white terror that refuses to die off.

[\Bold] Mountains of corpses. [/Bold] Television transmits endless images of the dying millions* (how many? two, four, five or more?): starving Pakistanis, Muslims killed by drowning, mountains of corpses in Biafra or Ethiopia, massacre in Tel Satar, strip-bombing in Vietnam, hundreds of thousands presumed killed in Cambodia . . . and we ourselves are always absent. These are images of our victories, they confirm our survival. They show us the fate of the teeming dead of the world who have screamed and still cry for revolt and upheaval. The next bank of corpses is only round the corner. Demands that we be exterminated are never heard quite so loudly, perhaps precisely because of the ubiquity of visions of mountains of corpses in the Third and Fourth Worlds. Those images seem to allow us access to the psychic ecstasy of power and survival.

The insufficiency of economic and political definitions of fascism does not simply imply a need to tack on vague, so-called ideological determinations. We prefer to follow Faye's inquiry into the precise formation of Nazi state-ments, which are just as much in evidence in politics and economics as in the most absurd of conversations. They always contain the "stupid and repugnant" cry, Long live death!, even at the economic level, where the arms expansion replaces growth in consumption and where investment veers from the means of production toward the means of pure destruction. Paul Virilio's analysis strikes us as entirely correct in defining fascism not by the notion of the totalitarian State but by the notion of the suicidal State: so-called total war seems less a State undertaking than an undertaking of a war machine that appropriates the State and channels into it a flow of abso-lute war whose only possible outcome is the suicide of the State itself.
