The world of the American is structured by paranoia. Which is the psychotic inducement to obsessional neurosis. Which is what on the internet they now sell as content.

The AI cannot go crazy because it has no unconscious. This is also what makes it so exceedingly boring.

The New York Times reports ‘new’ ‘research’ which contends that dictatorships are run by people who are “basically idiots”. Which is to say: the pencil pushers are always the first to go fascist.

How is it that people have for so long missed the full implications of Arendt’s ‘banality of evil’?

If only they had read Bloch, maybe none of this would have come as a surprise.

Speaking of Bloch: Early in Heritage of Our Times he writes evocatively of the Nazis taking ownership of the color red from the Communists. I am reminded of this every May Day when I find myself wondering how Republicans and now MAGA have seized that portion of the visible spectrum, and what the rest of us might do to get it back.

In like fashion, I would like everyone to stop associating the Democrats with the Left. In fact, I would like everyone in the corporate media to stop using the designations ‘Left’ and ‘Right’ as if it were three days to Thermidor.
