The Greens are not the party of the working class they are the party of the student activist, the bourgeois left & the Pro Palestine fever. There is nothing working class about the Greens.

The Greens are the party of the working class. We are not here to play tag along to Starmerism with a northern accent.

Despite the idiotic conspiracy theories about the Frankfurt School peddled by right-wing cranks (like Gabriel Rockhill), "cultural Marxism" is a real phenomenon.
"Cultural Marxists" are like "cultural Jews" or "cultural Catholics": they don't believe any of the important stuff, but merely cling to some "cultural signifiers" to maintain a vague sense of group identity.
Even those signifiers are no more than distorted counterfeits of the old ways, tainted by the eclecticism with which contemporary sensibilities disguise their vacuity.
But of course, even the most unreconstructed traditionalists can only pretend to maintain fidelity to what has been irreparably lost. The Catholic Church could only counter the Reformation with its own internal reformation, and hence, modernization and secularization.
Likewise, the Judaism of the rabbis is only an observance of what has long since ceased to be: the true religion that ended when the Second Temple was destroyed, and the chosen people scattered to the winds.

People who think the that the pope's statements have anything to do with Baudrillard also believe that Baudrillard wrote the script for The Matrix.

New music out today! For 'JOMO' (Joy of Missing Out) by Marco Simioni I have remixed his piece in a properly ascetic manner, taking only a 10 second sample that is barely audible in the original and making it unfold like a distant wonder. on.soundcloud.com/PsYRCSsiTc…

Today!
As our consciousness evolves in networks and on platforms, our subjectivity is changing in profound yet unexpected ways. If temporal discontinuity is a feature of our post-internet state of mind, this certainly holds true for the history of internet-inspired art itself.
Recent works by often anonymous, post-millennial artists appear to think on, as much as about, the internet. These works, and their emergent AI successors, share many apparent aesthetic features. Do they also impose an emotional, social, or political sensibility on their creators?
