how mean are you allowed to be while still passing as ethical and good p erson? can i tell trans women that they're pathetic cowards on the dating app? can i tell them to be more interesting? oh you're a furry and a gamer? how interesting... GET REAL... AS IF...

but waiting for it to happen naturally as ppl change their minds doesn't work. has demonstrably not worked. it's not enough to theorize, think differently & imagine futures. it needs to be coupled w activity, movement which enables/ produces nonrepresentational agency

🌑 @aphidsdontbiteppl.bsky.social · Jun 29

but u can't. right? there's no acting on production until there is a collective disidentification w capital & "inside" logic. until there's queer desire

🌑 @aphidsdontbiteppl.bsky.social · Jun 29

can spirituality or art or anything ever really move ppl from state subjectivity so long as their lives are tied up in capitalist production & relations? can it escape capture? or do u have to start w disrupting the circuitry of production?

🌑 @aphidsdontbiteppl.bsky.social · Jun 29

feel like there's opportunity for critical, post secular practice to experiment w non hierarchical subjectification & social (ecological) relations. but idk

🌑 @aphidsdontbiteppl.bsky.social · Jun 29

i think religion/spirituality/magic is uniquely equipped to interface w subjectivity production. secularism, rather than challenging orthodoxy only naturalized representation, reinforcing/proliferating exploitative circuits & concentration of power (thus helplessness, toxic positivity, etc)

🌑 @aphidsdontbiteppl.bsky.social · Jun 29

why do u never hear abt non hierarchical cults? do they not exist? are ppl uninterested in non hierarchical spirituality? are ppl rly so afraid of their own agency? ig u only hear abt them when they're hierarchical/isolationist/exploitative. & a working coven naturally escapes the gaze

🌑 @aphidsdontbiteppl.bsky.social · Jun 29

are cults/new religious movements actually inherently fucked up or is that just the rhetoric bc they're potentially effective ways to challenge state/capitalist subjectification?

nothing is meaningfully transgressive unless it allows u to move toward reproducing a (material/social) livelihood outside of interfacing w the market

🌑 @aphidsdontbiteppl.bsky.social · Apr 7

transgression is meaningless as long as capital reterritorializes and reproduces the same competitive relations (exploitation) alongside/thru those acts of transgression. it just is the atomized surface level diversity that liberalism prides itself on permitting

how i plan to react when you all question me on online

I am old. I have written this letter in haste and it really does not adequately convey my thoughts. If you have your heart set on learning the principles of the “easy and simple” and do not wish to have spent this incarnation in vain, then I will gladly guide and correct you, even if doing so drives me to vomit up blood and spew bile. But if you persist in holding on to your contrary views and do not give thought to matters of life and death, then i beg you not to trouble yourself by offering me your "teachings"!
