dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 01/08/2026I'm one of these! Come talk about appearances! 031
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 20/10/2025I will be speaking at this on Saturday, at Goldsmiths, on the problems with (political-)theological understandings of utopia. If you can't afford the ticket price, please contact the organiser. www.the-site.org.uk/events/hope-...the-site.org.ukHope/Less – Exploring Psychoanalytic Uses of Utopia | The Site for Contemporary Psychoanalysis 011
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 15/09/2025All it does is flatten all relevant distinctions between the varieties of social movement, all the historical representation, all the issues of belief / truth / need into one ontology that cannot hold all that. Go beyond libidinal (and, in your case, lividinal) economy. 130
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 15/09/2025And so fascism would be what... The desire to desire fascism? Mass movements may have some libidinal element, but any talk of "composition" puts you in this strange conceptual bind of a desire that produces it's object. I know that's what Deleuzians say they're talking about, but it isn't right. 100
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 15/09/2025Sure, all of those are live issues that I'm not sure about. But fascism isn't a desire! It is desired! 100
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 15/09/2025You can talk about the desire for domination, sure, but there are distinct visions of that domination that persist in different political strata, and fascism is a product primarily of the attempted unification of those under the image of ethno-sexual purity. 110
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 15/09/2025I think quite a lot is lost the moment we start thinking in libidinal terms about fascism in definitional terms, although we might want to explain why people want fascism, but introducing it at the level of definition, as Reich etc do, means you lose lots of the distinguishing features of fascism. 110
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 15/09/2025Like sure you can do libidinal analysis, but isn't the like, main thing, that they believe that they are the inheritors of a superior bloodline, basically? 110
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 28/04/2025I wrote about the closure of CRMEP for Radical Philosophy. www.radicalphilosophy.com/commentary/f... 051
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 18/04/2025New essay from me, on the defeat of queer politics. splintermag.com/On-the-Polit... 031
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 24/03/2025A few friends and I are running this on Saturday. Come and see me be stupid behind the decks. It'll be really good. Some low-income tickets available, DM if needed. 010
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 09/03/2025Italian-American radfem: eyyy woah I'm Dworkin here 042
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 04/03/2025Last year, a letter was written regarding the previous attempt at closure. It was signed by just about everyone you could think of in continental philosophy and critical theory. CRMEP is so important because, in a world that no longer values ideas, it has refused to play along. 040
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 01/03/2025My department, the fantastic CRMEP at Kingston University, is due to be closed mid-way through my PhD, as part of a slew of cuts to the Humanities and Social Sciences. We will be launching a challenge to this. Last year they tried to close us, and we fought it and won - we hope we can win again. 0289
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 27/02/2025I went on the only good podcast to talk about techno and DJing and queer nightlife. It was really stupid and fun and I was more than a little drunk so... Enjoy? 020
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 24/02/2025Same dynamic as FBPE, by the way, it's why the crossover between that and TERFism is so high. 120
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 24/02/2025back at the best library in London Reminder that submissions are still open for abstracts for the 2025 CRMEP conference on life/death. Aimed at postgraduate students. www.kingston.ac.uk/events/item/... 000
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 19/02/2025yes, and it also allows you to imagine yourself as an existential warrior in pursuit of the truth, rather than someone who has hallucinated a world-historical importance of their hobby. 010
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 19/02/2025It is actually very important to theorybros to allow them to say patently false things online 🩷 it's their culture ! Please be sensitive 💗 071
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 19/02/2025Nono, they are committed to the defense of The Left against, oh I don't know what is it this time, Nietzschean-Deleuzo-Prometheans? Okay sure whatever that'll work. 1134
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 18/02/2025new writing coming soon - I am proud of this one 050
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 13/02/2025This dialogue has the cadence of one of Charlie and Mac's business pitches from It's Always Sunny 010
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 12/02/2025It is just insane that there are basically no accessible mental health services in this country. No I do not want to fill out a module, that will not fix it. Jesus christ 000
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 08/02/2025ngl folks if Wales keep losing like this I might go insane 000
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 31/01/2025Oh and also people who think he's just a boring Marxist: can you read this stuff 030
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 31/01/2025Amazing that people think Adorno is depressing when he gives us passages like this, which seems more full of possibility than virtually anything else I've read. 161
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 30/01/2025I don't have much to say about the situation for trans people in the states, except that we need to understand this as a resounding defeat for the queer politics of the last fifty years or so. Whatever we do next, it needs to be radically different from what we have done before. 030
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 29/01/2025Is there any reasonable logic behind having him on the bench? 110
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 29/01/2025Hi you may think that this account will produce a combination of posts about critical theory and perhaps also electronic music. You would be mistaken! It is, for the next six weeks, a Wales Rugby fan account. Get ready for like, one million posts about Dan Edwards 030
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 25/01/2025Did a set at superstore last night. Always so lovely to play that room:) 051
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 23/01/2025Unbelievably good track, hazily remember going to unfold for the first time and Chris liberator was playing, he dropped this, think I exploded 110
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 22/01/2025God so the NHS had lost my referral to the GIC that got done in 2021 and I had to track it down and ended up having to be referred *again* and so it looked like I would have to go on the waiting list again. But I don't! It's all fine! I might be seen soon! I can't believe it! 040
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 21/01/2025And I'm not even sure what I'm describing here, it just definitely is *a* syntax 000
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 21/01/2025Yes, agreed, but why is that associated with this particular syntax? Maybe it's generational - this all feels exceptionally millennial 110
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 21/01/2025Interesting how it seems that on bluesky everyone seems to talk like it's twitter in 2015. Like the poetics are the same. What's up with that 361
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 18/01/2025Right okay I am going to mostly be on here now I think 050
dalston supersoldier @germainequeer.bsky.social · 15/11/2024hi I am making this quite sweet picture taken by @irishtom.bsky.social as my first bluesky pic 240
