I do wear a mask (so congratulations if you made it this far into the essay without calling the cops on me), and I hate it. I’m aware that not liking the masks is neither an original nor productive sentiment, but it doesn’t hurt anyone to admit it either, so it would stand to reason that it is an appropriate and healthy thing to feel and to say. And so…

I hate The Masks. I hate wearing them, I hate seeing other people wearing them, I hate seeing the discarded ones all over the ground. I loving hate them. I feel like I live in an open-air hospital, or a particularly cosmopolitan leper colony. I miss human faces very badly, and I hate the sensation of being trapped in a breathing swamp of my own self, as each damp exhale rolls back onto my face.

i hate the masks and quarantine too but john dolan once mentioned the funny thing about history or war or pandemics is you always assume the bad thing won't happen to you - you'll survive to comment on it later, your perspective matters, but there's never the possibility that you'll be the one to die

what did sam kriss do again

idk if this link still works but here's the accusations: https://www.facebook.com/notes/monitoring-the-lefts-support-for-r-pe-culture/metoo-and-sam-kriss/1518056408275666/
If I remember right, he was accused of groping and forcibly kissing a woman he was on a date with despite her protests and trying to get her drunk to get her to go home with him. Personally I feel that if he was more likable, someone who hadn't already pissed people off, or if he was a better writer people would have forgiven him by now but he just sucks and always has. On the date he also reportedly bragged about how rich his family was, all the money and a big house he'd inherent when his parents died and I think that detail was what really nailed him.
He has a private instagram and has been posting on his blog for the past year or so, recently he published something on a new "unwoke leftist" online magazine that's been trying to raise money on kickstarter or something.
Amber and Anna K still name drop him, former is in touch, and I assume he's mostly who they mean when they blather on about how evil metoo is to hapless men.

i don't understand why he would think that thought would be worth posting on twitter. it literally boils down to the most literal "a slave owning society couldn't utilize its slaves in a war of independence so it lost to the much larger non-slave states" i don't think he's even trying to be racist it's just loving stupid

Carter didn’t like that Felix followed someone who was mean to him, and now he’s upset that Felix was making fun of his girlfriend (who works for that congressional guy) having a gaming keyboard that was bought with campaign funds. I don’t post, I just scroll through Twitter, and sometimes people need to log off.


Much like it is ok to listen to and enjoy cumtown, and not be a racist, it is ok to like Lee Carter the politician and dislike Lee Carter the poster.

the strasserism thing is imo best summarised as people on the left wanting to shut down non-liberal objections to their policy by calling people nazis in a slightly more sophisticated manner. it's really stupid imo - you see some on the other side still rattling social fascist sabers in a weird kind of symmetry, but effectively it's about modern leftism having a ton of sixty-eighter new left neuroses.

fwiw tinkzorg hasn't got a path ahead either, and his crowing about how he's now winning bears the mark of someone who's protesting too much, but he does put a finger on some important fissures on the left and some dogmas which are increasingly coming under strain, one of which is the solution to the national question under the auspices of global capitalism
