LMAO I hated every fuckin loser lib who posted Lincoln Project videos and everyone just kept saying “enemy of my enemy etc” but it’s like... I dunno, the administration that those psychos worked for was the one that radicalized me as a youth, I certainly remember their names and their lovely roles in all this.

The latest MBMBAM has an extended section on Ted Cruz. It's probably the most "hateful" thing that they've ever recorded and honestly sounds like something off of chapo at points. Fully recommend it for any CTH fans.

I've decided that this thread and the MBMBAM thread are frenemies.

I started the discussion about it and I have been laughing at how long it's been going.

Normally when I started "derails" like that I get people whining and saying they're going to report me like when I made the (I thought) uncontroversial statement that economics is the most corrupted academic discipline. Two different mods probated me for that and both of them got it wrong which made it even funnier.

Something about modern monetary theory, it was hard to tell because the girl wouldn't stop interrupting Matt every time he tried to say anything. Terrible ambush interview that accomplished nothing, wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
This is reaching way back, but I wanted to talk about it anyway, apropos of nothing. Something I found jarring about the interview was that the guy would say something like "collapsing the multiplicitudes of attenuated counter-hegemonies," but then when he specifically referenced Hegel, his cohost would jump in and mock-scold him about being too academic. The encounter was apparently so traumatic for them that they had to do a follow-up:

Superstructure posted:

Superstructure cohosts Will Beaman and Natalie Smith are joined by Scott Ferguson and Andrés Bernal to reflect on a recent "close encounter" with the Dirtbag Left. They diagnose the perverse comfort that the Dirtbag Left takes in contracting political economy around fixed points of "leverage" over political elites. Touching on the Jimmy Dore controversy and a recent Chapo episode on Avatar, the team compares the austere physics metaphors that structure the Left's hopelessness to neoliberal action cinema's preoccupation with what Ferguson has called its "Hyper-Newtonian aesthetics."

From time to time I get dismayed at how much of the left, such as it is, is bound up in academia and academic ways of communicating. Grad school apparently teaches you how to communicate in a way that demonstrates to other people who went to grad school that you went to grad school. (In the humanities and social sciences, anyway.) And then they just cannot or will not turn that off, even on podcasts and tweets where they presumably don't have to suck up to anyone. What do they think they're accomplishing? And a lot of these postgrads are underemployed and/or on a career path that results in them being on Twitter all day. So we get this extremely creepy style of writing that's part academic jargon, part slang appropriated from black teenagers, and part "I'm literally shaking and feeling so unsafe right now."

This is the announcement for an academic conference about "cognitive capitalism," whatever that is.

quote:

In the initial stages of cognitive capitalism, caring and effective economies were sites of subsumption – especially through reconfiguring what Sylvia Federici called reproductive labor. In recent years, the techno-scientific revolution has joined forces with neoliberal reformers to produce a generalized crisis in empathy and thought. In the present day, cognitive capitalism has become another means of instrumentalizing subjectivities. Building upon our past five year engagement with topics concerning estrangement, individuation, collectivity, and art and politics, Saas-Fee Summer Institute of Art 2020 in Berlin will interweave six broad categories of care, caring and repair: (1) Affective Labor (2) Cosmopolitanism and Hospitality (3) Curating (4) Solidarity (5) Theory of Mind and (6) Post-humanism in the Anthropocene.
If I thought that these people were trying to educate the public, I would be more sympathetic, and I'd be begging them to make their work more accessible. But now I know that prestige in academia means teaching as few undergraduate classes as possible. What's the point in even pretending to be leftist if you're just angling for tenure?

Lmao, the interview was barely even antagonistic. Matt was more exasperated than anything else because both the hosts were so annoying in different ways.

I always think of Richard Wolff when encountering people like this. The ideas being presented aren't all that complex and don't require the type of academic gibberish speak that the host on Superstructure kept using. If the goal is to build a worker-based mass movement and enact left-wing ideology as policy, speak like a human being so people can actually understand you rather than trying to show off how smart you are.

Dick Wolff gets a lot of flack for being kind of repetitive on Economic Update but I kind of like it because it really stresses how a lot of the problems people run into all have very similar root causes.

He also teaches those concepts by using them to explain current events which, even more important than teaching leftist theory, tells people that they're not crazy for feeling like they're getting hosed over by capitalism.

I forgot to touch on this, but the Academia Brain phenomenon I'm talking about is also why "Strasserism" was a long-running mass hysteria in the DSA for awhile, and why people think Tucker Carlson or someone like him is going to infiltrate the Republican Party.

Like if you're trying to reckon with some bigoted (or just un-woke) attitudes within leftism, and you have to reach for something as obscure as Strasserism to explain it, that's a sign that you're not in touch with the working class.

He's a name in any household that watches Fox News, and there's a lot of those.
