is it even a sexual experience if the octopus grabs your dick so hard that you cum? Like, the octopus may be smart but it couldn't know that the penis was where humans cum from

Virgil is extremely wrong about their being very few Catholics in the US. They're like 20% of the population, even if most only go to a church for Christmas, weddings, or to beat up priests that abused them 20 years ago. Lapsed Catholics are a huge part of that group, but I think most still consider themselves sort of Catholic.

Conservatives are trying to make "anti-Catholic tropes" a thing, but it's gonna fall on its face. The people who hate super religious Catholics the most are other Catholics.

I love Matt of CTH's full evolution into shamanism,, deciding which electoral outcome is most likely based on the spiritual energies flowing through the American populace

I wanted to like Bad Faith but so far it seems kinda bad, Virgil seems unable to interact with Brianna's serious non-cynical perspective and Brianna just laughs at Virgil's unbreakable sarcasm. Also seeing Virgil interact with a normal seeming person makes you realize how weird and insular the CTH world is

I don't know, Biden winning because of affluent suburbs seems pretty nihilistic to me. None of this election makes sense from Bidens poll numbers to the campaign events in states he doesn't even have a ground operation in

I don't wanna go hard in defending this lady because I don't know poo poo about her, but that's really not what I saw her saying either, it was about the guy in the docu seeming to have a queerphobic and self-repressing response to contact with the octopus sometimes and also saying something that lined up with a queer theory definition of eroticism (dissolution of boundary between self and other or something). That doesn't even necessarily imply the guy is a zoophile or anything, repression of sexual feelings in general (even the traditional heteronormative repression of straight people) leads to those feelings bubbling up anyway in strange and nonsensical or "queer" ways. So no I don't think it was equating bestiality with homosexuality, which would be pretty awful.

It's perfectly in line with liberal thought:


Liberalism: a Counter History posted:

A theory of temporary modernizing dictatorship can also be found in de Tocqueville. Reconstructing the catastrophe of the French Revolution, he arrived at a conclusion: given the irreversible crisis of the ancien régime, the radical transformation of society was inevitable, but it would have been better if, ‘instead of being carried out by the masses on behalf of the sovereignty of the people, [it] had been the work of an enlightened autocrat’; indeed, ‘[a]n absolute monarch would have been a far less dangerous innovator.’63 He would have been able to exercise against the most reactionary feudal aristocracy the temporary dictatorship over slave-owners invoked by Smith. Modernizing dictatorship was not evoked by de Tocqueville solely with a view to the past. The French liberal asked himself, and one of his English interlocutors, whether a ‘temporary dictatorship, exercised in firm, enlightened fashion like that of Bonaparte after 18 Brumaire, is not the only way of saving Ireland’.64 The dictatorship hypothesized here is different from that theorized by Locke against ‘papists’, which was directly exercised by the British Protestant settlers, albeit with the support of central government. De Tocqueville seems to envisage a power imposed from London that would be above the parties (Catholic peasants and Anglo-Protestant property-owners), just as in Smith ‘dictatorship’ is called upon to situate itself above both property-owners and their slaves.
By contrast, the position taken by Mill was more general in character: ‘I am far from condemning, in cases of extreme exigency, the assumption of absolute power in the form of a temporary dictatorship.’ The dictator could, ‘for a time strictly limited’, ‘employ … the whole power he assumes in removing obstacles which debar the nation from the enjoyment of freedom’.

Sophie Lewis, erotics of the octopus lady, is a Philly gentrifier via England who is also the Abolish the Family lady who has been hawking her book with tons of interviews for the past year or two. She's also the girlfriend of the white In Defense of Looting anti-union lady, from the New Inquiry (red flag) formerly Occupy exploiter. It's inspiring that they've joined forces to make at best embarrassingly abrasive unconnected from reality academic arguments so they can then cry bullying when people take the bait. Bruenig can chill with the "destroying civilization" hyperbole, but Lewis sucks and now she has thousands of people thinking the guy in the doc wants to gently caress the octopus.
