"The idea is not to realize the possible ... but to make the real possible, to find a way out of the inevitability of the facts that the dominant ideology seeks to impose in every sphere — first and foremost in politics."

ChatGPT is so enthralling, only because social life has been impoverished so totally. Amazon shopping is so gratifying, only because our last remaining freedom is to spend as we will. Trump's power is so exhilarating, only because of how pacified everything else has come to be.

Subjectivity, Subjugation, Spectacle Ian Alan Paul September 25th, 2025 In English there is an ambiguity in the word “subjection.” It can denote the way lives are made into subjects and thus are given subjectivity, but also the way lives are subjected to domination and thus are subjugated. That both subjectivity and subjugation ambiguously coincide in “subjection” tells us that the forms within which life is lived are never far away from the forms through which life dominates and is dominated, that the positive formation of life is always nearby the negative possibility of constraining it.1 What must be confronted in our fascist moment then is not simply the proximity between subjectivity and subjugation, but rather the degree to which fascism has made subjugation the very ground of subjectivity, to which domination itself has been embraced as the foundation of social life.
“What must be confronted in our fascist moment then is not simply the proximity between subjectivity and subjugation, but rather the degree to which ... domination itself has been embraced as the foundation of social life.”
