Since you’re clearly interested in political theory, my friendly advice would be to pick a topic or an author you genuinely enjoy and study it in depth for a few years. With libgen it can be done. You don’t want to be stuck at your current level of sub-Wikipedia knowledge about a bunch of random stuff, where all you can do is clumsily throw labels and slogans around.

When I see you use Foucault to launder dumb guy opinions about how bitches be lyin' about rape it reinforces my little theory that books don't necessarily make you not a ****head.

Some people are such pathetic losers.

Had a first time customer come in and put $94 worth of records on the checkout counter. Ended up only buying a $25 record and two $3 records. Had me do the total four times as he put stuff back telling me how he just lost his job BUT...OH BUT HOW WONDERFUL OUR SHOP IS...HOW WONDERFUL WE PRICE OUR RECORDS. I just kept telling him the total. He just kept shaking his head. Like, dude, what in the f*ck do you expect me to do? Just give you sh*t for free?

Pathetic f*cking losers. This niche hobby attracts the lowest totem pole dweebs and grifters.

Kind of agree: I should've known better than linking a provocative argument to a theory there was no way in hell I could adequately lay out in this format. The point I intended to make had less to do with factual veracity or lack thereof but I sure didn't do a good job of conveying that.

You know you can just give your opinions without dancing around them to minimize criticism like a cuck.

Thing is, whatever my opinion on the relation between discourse and sexuality, or discourse, sexuality and truth may be, it's not separable from the ideas contained in the first volume of HOS and to a lesser extent the subsequent ones. And figuring it out beyond this or that initial impulse would be hard work that I have no interest doing right now, least of all on here.

You also way overestimate my desire to "minimize criticism" from a guy who thought that my affection for the parquet floors of my childhood in Moscow was evidence of Quebecois nationalism.

Just the biggest ponce.

Celladorina !! It's been a long, long time! Welcome back. I hope you are keeping well.
( sorry, no Christmas decorating going on in my house)

Btw I’ve always loved the sound of Polish. To the naked ear it has almost no mutual intelligibility with Russian BUT apparently if you learn a few rules about how the sounds have evolved from a shared ancestor, then it’s much easier. Maybe one day I’ll get a chance to study it, who knows.

Oh so you're actually a fellow slav!

I find Russian to sound much nicer than Polish btw.

I also find it fascinating how I don't understand Russian but then suddenly there is a word or a phrase that is identical in Croatian.

Mother Russia <3

Such a shame they turned into such agressively regressive dicks lately.
