War on the floor

Dance!
Slide your feet across the floor,
Jump up, Dip down,
Bang your head,
Till your hair frees,
And cover your face.
Go into a trance!
See the lights, the battle,
Giant machines pulverized into pieces.
Like broken lives,
Headed in every random direction,
Racing, towards stars unknown.

It's a war, raging in space,
Of only metal and light,
And darkness.
No flesh or blood.
Soulless!

Far,
From the blue oceans,
Green mountains,
And concrete jungles.
Far away,
From your home,
Your bed,
From the sensation of her lips.
And far away from the amazon locker that says,
"You have 40 seconds to pick up your items."

At 192 beats per minute.
Collect the pieces, before they drop.
Ditch, the double-spaced bullshit!
Fuck, the ten-minute breaks!
Burn, the envelopes with lines in RED.
Blow up the ships black and hazy grey,
Torch the stripes and stars in space and get ready!

Drop!
It's war again.
Peaceful, and Serene!

Twilight zone: The past ghosts as the rulers of the present

Using the details in a personal note (“The Good Place”) and this grok chat. Not an ideal article, but took few hours compared to weeks... Introduction: Contextualizing the Persistence of Modern Structures In the twilight zone of our present reality, the ghosts of the past continue to rule, their specters haunting the structures of our post-Modern world. Despite the apparent shifts from the modern to the post-Modern era, the deep-seated structures of capitalism, control, and social hierarchies persist, often dressed in the rhetoric of progress and liberation. This article aims to explore how the modern era’s foundational elements have subverted or thrived within the post-Modern context, revealing that the more things change, the more they remain the same. From social structures to religion and spirituality, each dimension of society has been transformed, yet the underlying power dynamics remain remarkably consistent. By examining these dimensions, we can see how the post-Modern e...

"There have never been a Revolution without a starving mass"

Politics that advocate taking power is doomed for failure, and toxic, maybe! In Snipers in the kitchen ", @MonederoJC examines the failures of the leftist movements across Central and South America. He talks about how centers of power, which are very much intact after a populist leftist movement takes power, align to undermine and defeat the leftist project. "Snipers" he refers to are these institutions; mass media, the judiciary, police/military, and of course, the market forces -- the capital, and their minions, the traps laid in every corner of the house. The 21st century repeats are only a stone's throw away from where ever one is, from Syriza, Corbyn, Chile to maybe whatever the whole left-progressive thing in the US was ? At the end of the day none of these movements garnered enough momentum to make a dent in the power structures that they fought to defeat. I think we are much deeper in 💩 than just not having powerful popular institutions though (i.e The Ma...

White supremacy and russophobia!

Compiled using grok, gemini, chatgpt etc: The evolution of xenophobia against Eastern Europeans in Western Europe, particularly through the lenses of colonial white supremacy and neo-imperialism post-Cold War, is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon rooted in historical, economic, and geopolitical dynamics. This survey note aims to provide a comprehensive analysis, drawing on academic sources and historical evidence to trace the development of these attitudes. Historical Roots: Enlightenment and the Construction of Eastern Europe The intellectual foundations of xenophobia against Eastern Europeans can be traced to the Enlightenment period, as elucidated by Larry Wolff in his seminal work, Inventing Eastern Europe: The Map of Civilization on the Mind of the Enlightenment ( Inventing Eastern Europe: The Map of Civilization on the Mind of the Enlightenment ). Wolff argues that Western European philosophers, viewing the continent from the perspective of Paris, deliberately cultivated t...

Defending Jeffrey Sachs: A Nuanced Perspective on the Ukraine-Russia Conflict

👾 AI reply to reply to Sachs , too lazy, so asked Grok to do it

A hope far away!

Heyy, Look! The beautiful land, across the bay! Long, wide shores, and shallow white beaches, Lush green vegetation and blue rolling hills, The majestic oaks that spread invitingly, to build a tree house up near the canopy. Why not wonder, What mysteries might lie ahead. Misty waterfalls and cold swimming holes, Slippery mudslides and swinging vines..! And quite possibly, hidden cliffs, and poisonous snakes, And maybe even, dark witches and angry ghosts! Let's raw this boat across! Sure, it's got holes in the stern, Nothing we cannot fix, though, with some care! With some love, patience and of course, blessings of a decent weather. Coz, you see, I got some tools, and you got more, and our laughs and screams and tears, together, might just get us there! Yes! It's a bit scary, The boat could be more sturdy. And it's true, the opposite peer, does seem a bit far, Yet, it's quite some distance, we have trekked to where we are! And I know, if you are tired, it is only far...
