straw 🥚 @strawegg.bsky.social · 10/02/2025I'll repent for my problematic like (and desire) by logging out for a few days. Sorry for making it about me, but that way it's easier to see how the problem is me. I can't help it - but I'll figure out why I can't help it. I soul-searched myself out of gender, I can do it out of this. (7/8) 110 0
straw 🥚 @strawegg.bsky.social · 10/02/2025Once is a comedic accident, twice is a tragic desire. To avoid chauvinism, I won't speak on this subject anymore until I figure why I desire to do away with "all existing culture, nationality, and religion". Maybe it can be traced back to trauma, maybe not. Psychoanalysis isn't always right. (6/8) 110 0
straw 🥚 @strawegg.bsky.social · 10/02/2025When confronted on DMs as to my problematic like, I panicked (and not just because my liked porn was apparently public). I used kettle logic: I didn't do it, or if I did I didn't know it, of if I did I had my reasons... The truth is clear: I did it, I knew it, and had no reason at all. (5/8) 100 0
straw 🥚 @strawegg.bsky.social · 10/02/2025Apologies are only needed for doubled mistakes though. If it was an accident, there's no fault in it. If it wasn't, then it wasn't a mistake. An apology is needed when you make an accident and then, out of free will, you choose to double down, to hide it, to ignore it. Which is what I did. (4/8) 100 0
straw 🥚 @strawegg.bsky.social · 10/02/2025I liked this skeet - I think it's true. Communism, if it arrives, will be to us like capitalism was to feudalism: for better AND for worse, forever. I did not realize this skeet wasn't a dunk on a "retvrn" nationalist (which would be based) but on an indigenous person (which is cringe). (3/8) 100 0
straw 🥚 @strawegg.bsky.social · 10/02/2025I'm making this apology about me instead of what I should be apologizing for - the first one is to show how even in empathy I'm selfish, and the second one is this: "Communism will do away with all existing culture, nationality, and religion, I don't know why thats so controversial to you." (2/8) 100 0
straw 🥚 @strawegg.bsky.social · 10/02/2025I would like to apologize first of all for liking a skeet, and second of all for being bad at apologies. I'm not good at the social stuff. I empathize only by selfishly imagining myself in the other's place - but that's no excuse. And it's inexcusable that I'm starting by making excuses. (1/8) 100 0

straw 🥚 @strawegg.bsky.social · 07/02/2025yes, regardless of quality though, I'm mostly saying it's debateable that he stood for reconciliation because he never used the terms "thesis, antithesis, and synthesis" in his own thought (these are mostly Fitchean terms, after all). plenty of non-metaphysical interpretations of Hegel nowadays! 200 0

straw 🥚 @strawegg.bsky.social · 05/02/2025the proper solution to nihilism (the sensation that things don't matter) is not to insist naively on something really mattering, but to realize that it doesn't matter if things don't matter. "the universe doesn't care about you." but why should one care about what the universe cares about? 040 0

straw 🥚 @strawegg.bsky.social · 04/02/2025one solution might rather be to organize these positions in a triangle rather than a line. or, have cons and libs as the ends of a line, with socs beyond this. all a line does is imply a 'center' position. but finding a center in politics is like finding the midpoint of motion and stillness. 100 0
straw 🥚 @strawegg.bsky.social · 04/02/2025and yet, it should seem evident that socialism is not a position 'between' conservatism and liberalism, but precisely beyond it. and accounting for a perceived (from a lib. view) proximity of con. and soc. requires "bending the line" in a horseshoe fashion. 100 0
straw 🥚 @strawegg.bsky.social · 04/02/2025the notion of a linear arrangement of politics (socialists as left, liberals as center, conservatives as right) doesn't take into account the triangularity of these positions: conservatives hate socialists for being too liberal, and liberals hate socialists for being too conservative. 100 0

straw 🥚 @strawegg.bsky.social · 02/02/2025My formula for Deleuze's pure difference is to reject the principles of identity (A = A) and non-contradiction (A =/= ~A) as negative chains of reason. Then, we get something non-identical (A =/= A) and contradictory (A = ~A), which is positive pure difference. Deleuzians, is this correct? 000 0
