Anarchist "exuberant." Really into exploring the roots of things and expanding degrees of freedom. Incurable woke moralist. Floating metal sphere. “Radically uncool.”

Okay, so news cycle finally seems (relatively) slow, so I'm going to finally do some promotion for my book.
I read many hundreds of books and articles in drafting Did The Science Wars Take Place? and a lot of delicious quotes or examples didn't make it in...

Not finding a place in the radical scene, John Paul Cupp left. These are both pictures of him after his departure from Portland.
He formed the U.S. Songun Politics Study Group pushing racism and got sponsored by the North Korean government. That's him on the Juche Tower, in Pyongyang.

Over two decades ago, John Paul Cupp lived in Portland and was a homeless activist (the one in a trenchcoat, center). He was generally known as a wingnut you didn't want to be around (naturally he was friends with Alex Lilly).

The history of colonialism is a fucking bonechilling horrorshow whose extreme grotesqueries linger on as porn/ideology.

Hey all, here's zine about how to do Jury Nullification canvassing and outreach.
It's easy to just tell people they can acquit as jurors, but our goal should be to effectively reach the right people AND get them successfully selected as jurors.

Is continental philosophy infested with hackish obscurantism? Sure, pretty much everyone agrees. I briefly touch upon this in my book.
But it's a trap to critique because 1) some tortured prose contains content, and 2) you become seen as a hectoring hall monitor banning metaphor and play.

Timur Kacharava was stabbed to death twenty years ago today by nazis, just after sharing food at a Food Not Bombs.
I remember being intensely affected by this murder, more so than Carlo or Spit and Dan's, in part I think because I'm the same age as Timur. He missed out on the last 20 years.

I gotta be real, I viscerally hate sort of thing. Yes, sure, bigger numbers have some benefits, but I got so much ire with how normie apolitical hipsters latched onto Obama and Bernie as "cool" "moments" and, from that orientation, ended up spawning some of the worst political subcurrents ever.

Nationalism is the reification of nations -- fictitious and arbitrary abstractions above actually-existing people-- and putting aside the more general problems with "rights" based frameworks, "national rights" would inherently come at the cost of individuals.

Some of my first memories are of my parents talking about how Reagan was the literal *antichrist*. He was so far-right, so unbelievably off the political spectrum and beyond the overton window, that it traumatized older leftists and radicalized a younger generation of punks, etc.

I will say that of all the downplaying or massaging that one would expect, this line irks me because Aronowitz had literally published a whole book titled SCIENCE AS POWER that took said position. And the function of the Sokal Hoax was to draw to the fore Aronowitz's caucusing with the pomo crowd.

which ideas did you implicitly consider beyond the pale? why won't you accept an exchange of ideas that involve critique of your framing?

In my book I couldn't help by offhandedly start to list the commonalities Jordan Peterson has with the worst of the 80s postmodernists, and I had to cut it short, but my fucking god the fucking spiritual woo the man constantly engages in.
