2024-09-14 01:27:22 +0000 UTCI'm glad the debate - apparently; I didn't watch it - took time to get to the bottom of who has been snatching up the neighborhood cats by the truckload (for meal-prep reasons), who owns what kind of gun, and whether or not it's good or bad that MS-13 gangsters are getting routine MTF-surgery in jail. The US is such a profoundly unserious country.

2024-09-13 14:25:51 +0000 UTCI think most aids denialism is/was sadly gay guys who lived during the aids-pandemic and didn't have access to effective cheap medication. It probably permanently cooked the brains of some of them, still insisting on it out of sunk-cost. No empathy for straight guys in 2024 still on that clownshit though.

2024-09-12 19:31:39 +0000 UTCI was a fellow Jill Stein 2012 voter. She was the green party nominee. My rationale at the time was that Obama had still not done anything to move towards closing guantanamo Bay.

2024-09-12 02:46:49 +0000 UTCI think it’s funny they start mentioning Polish writers like Miłosz as “Western canon” just as Poland is about to spend 5%(!!!) of its GDP on American made weapons. Polan stronk and smart.

2024-09-11 18:20:59 +0000 UTCI listened to an old TWP episode yesterday, because someone brought it up on twitter as an episode that made them laugh out loud. (It's Episode 69: The Woke Strawman and Other Tall Tales.) It was wonderful to hear you guys in what sounded like happier, lighter times. And wonderful to have Tanya on air as well.

2024-09-11 11:39:50 +0000 UTC"A real Western Judeo-Christian would read all these Greek pagan kid touchers" Also this kind of stuff, and really so much of the "classics" education is just rich people waxing poetic about abstract bullshit in order to justify their position. Hessiod probably was the "Wild at Heart" "Bible"(hardly any scripture in it it's trash) study guy of his time Reactionaries just want their childhood back, truly. Babies at heart

2024-09-11 05:29:20 +0000 UTCThe readings that “recall the principles of text selection followed at columbia these days” are identical to readings we did in the humanities program I was in over 20 years ago in the UC system. Thanks for polluting my mind yet again with one of these goddamn articles. I’m gonna go punch a baby or kick a dog into the freeway now.

2024-09-10 21:55:31 +0000 UTCHannah Arendt is literally on our core syllabus at Columbia along with a bunch of western colonial shit like LMFAO?? We read Adam smith, Machiavelli, many chapters of the bible, Descartes, Aristotle, Plato, Socrates, Kant, Rousseau etc etc. We take 4 semesters of it and it’s all incredibly boring lol
mina
2024-09-10 21:34:44 +0000 UTCKind of sounds like Abe was gay. But, if we allow that a straight man could share a bed with another man for 5 years, I think it shouldn't raise an eyebrow if that man's death caused his bedfellow to be depressed.

2024-09-10 19:13:09 +0000 UTCThe real question is Was Lincoln a top or bottom? With a nickname like Railsplitter I’m gonna say top.

2024-09-10 17:26:58 +0000 UTCOne of the major themes of the last two Dune books (heretics and chapterhouse) is the creation and interpretation of history and the hazards associated. I really think you guys should become Dune guys like me. Bless the maker and his water.

2024-09-10 15:40:19 +0000 UTCI've heard convincing speculation that Reagan was bisexual.
Lucy McGillicuddy
2024-09-10 15:12:33 +0000 UTCMaybe Lincoln wasn’t gay. He was a professional wrestler and traveled the carnival circuit. Wrestlers like Mick Foley are famous for finding ways to save money on the road. Maybe they were just road dogs trying to save a greenback dollar. Then again, if you were to tell me one Me Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Shawn Michaels didn’t explore each other’s bodies…

2024-09-09 23:28:20 +0000 UTCThe BEST you can do, for 18-22yr olds, is expose them TO these works, ideas (not the dumb shitty ones nyle or this u of Austin asshole wants) and try to teach them the tools to use to understand and think critically about the works, in the event that years down the road, should they get a hankering for it, they can go back and actually appreciate what the authors were doing
William
2024-09-09 23:10:23 +0000 UTCalumni-cranks and video game man-babies have basically the same core issue that animates them, which is "how can the next generation have exactly the same experience I had, and come to the same superior take-away from it that I did?" "You have to read Marcus Aurelius for your education to mean anything" is the academia analogue to "my son has to start with Mega Man 2, because it's the best one. If he accidentally starts with that Battle Network shit and likes it I'm gonna fucking kill myself".
