incredible how uncanny it feels these days that Horkheimer, Adorno and Kirchheimer developed the theory of 'racket' as the basic form of domination, as an extension of class theory, while in exile in America

solidarity to those who fight fascism everywhere

Me, reading and studying history: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!

Me, realizing I am living through a historical event: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

crazy that the "land of the free" has now implemented a banana republic-style autocracy by psyoping its population to be angry about pronouns

(everyone, literally everyone)

crazy how prediction markets enrich people in a position of authority and power. who could have thought that turning privileged knowledge into a financial asset would create such skewed incentives?

RIP Paolo Virno. He was one of the funniest and warmest philosophers.

the world computer sculpture garden is always open

in the end libertarianism and "Anarcho-capitalism" defaults to corporate monarchies & rackets with executive power

Get Horkheimer-pilled.

Beginning of this year for 2 weeks i got obsessed with specific combinations of 1d Cellular Automata - as always nothing happend with it

Franz Neumann chuckles from the background

remember when everyone thought Horkheimer is exaggerating when describing "rackets" as a base form of domination emerging from the organic composition of capital?

“I’m different, I’m a rebel. I’m an outsider,” I say to the credulous journalist before repeating verbatim the beliefs and worldview of the president of the United States and every person with money and power in the world right now.
