how do the producers explain to the actor what he's supposed to do here?

you'll walk up to some tomato plants, squat down and begin picking tomatoes. look at the rim of the planter box as if an imaginary midget is sitting there and begin a conversation with him. Pretend that he gives advice for detecting and preventing colon cancer, and look very interested, impressed and listen intently as he does. remember though we won't actually be using a midget. you'll be talking to a computer generated mascot that will be added later when we edit the footage we get here today.

Watch this shit man. No gore so u gotta hurry up before they delete it. Look at how fast she gets that table spinning.

stirner's 'union of egoists' theory presents a difficult realization in ethics I think. assuming stirner's premises are true (no God, no purpose, no reason, etc) the logical consequences of these terms in ethics would finally end up at a model like that. the union of egoists is a fantastic impossibility on a global scale... and probably unworkable even in a beer hall with more than fifteen people in it. but the beauty of it is that if stirner's premises are correct, this would be the limits of honest morality. like that imaginary Epicurean garden romantics fantasize about. it'll never happen, but any other kind of 'society' is a farce, a spook, a collection of subjugated wills forced to make contracts and follow rules they had no hand in making.

this is why it is wise for stirner to be interpreted in a socialist sense becuz the only way to express individuality in our consumerist societies is to accumulate property and wealth... often at the expense of the worker (paid less than the value of his product, etc). therefore egoism in its greatest collective state possible, this 'union' as it were, would be precisely that insurrection over the material means of production by the proletarian class. the corporatization of all existing companies and so forth. A union of egoists et mon strausitum.

this is the logical conclusion of the logical conclusion of the truth of stirner's founding premises.

the only other kind of union of egoists would amount to a small group of people in a club or sumthin. it's an unworkable model, but the most realistic yet. that is to say the most honest and analytical of the materialist philosophies of ethics. u either go right at Rand Rd. or left at Stirner St. pure unadulterated capitalism as the only viable expression of individuality or a working class overthrow of the existing government.  the laborer is the egoist for stirner, and any opportunity that increases the wealth of the laborer should not be shyly stepped back from.

it's settled then. except for clubs, cults and sunday morning coffee groups, stirner's union of egosists theory is compatible with M&E's theory of proletarian revolution, so we will continue moving forward with the project.

one of the benefits of joining Putin's private army of mercenaries (the wagner group) is that if you change your mind later and want to defect, you don't have to submit a bunch of paperwork or go through any lengthy bureaucractic process. you just deliver a short speech and then they bash your head in with a sledge hammer. i won't post the vid but it's at kaotic.com

What's so alarming is that Putin might know this happened and may have done nothing about it. Somebody's in charge of that video and even if the soldier is anonymous, some high ranking Wagner guy is to blame for letting it happen.

I mean what happened to proper trial and imprisonment? Fuck what if the guy wanted them to kill em? I didn't even think of that. Hey somebody who speaks Russian: watch the video and translate what the guy says in his speech.

I had no idea pelosi wuz 82 man. that gives her a degree of awesomeness in at least one sense; she takes care of herself and has the energy of a 45 year old. pelosi puts that work in and knows how to make shit happen with her old ass. maybe becuz she's an Aries too tho. hey but fer real i bet nancy was a MILF like 40 years ago.

Drop some shit like this...

Oh shoot yeah she wuz a total MILF check her out. First old pics of her I've ever seen. I just thought she wuz always old... like she came like that.

well you have to admit that politics is exciting these days and trump is absolutely at the center of the entertainment. the red wave - which we already knew wuz just another figment of trump's megalomaniacal imagination - never happened, and repubs are steadily distancing themselves and blaming the orange man for ruining the party base.

whatever happens in 2024 will be good. i mean entertaining good, not the 'right' thing... whatever that means. either the orange man event fades into american political history or he runs again and wins. I'll take either one. at this point in the game what's important is to keep it exciting. and sometimes what's exciting isn't the 'best' thing that could happen. i mean good things are exciting but not exhilarating..  like really good bad politics. trump's presence in american politics is exhilarating in this sense; it's so audaciously absurd and embarrassing to the idea of politics and 'the politician' that it draws a spectacle bigger and better than anything else that might be an effective result of his administration. the buffoonery itself is what makes it so great, if even at the cost of national and political integrity.

Right, because a 'mother' isn't someone who could ever normally be considered attractive. Americans are so crass and nasty. Only they would come up with a vile acronym like that. Same goes for the 'cute' way they like to give women a number from 1-10 as a 'measurement of her attractiveness'. Unsurprisingly, both were popularised in shitty American movies. Funny how today's so-called 'feminists' never mention these things. Could that be because the strident and loud faux-feminist movement is comprised of moronic American PCturds who are as genuine and useful as a lettuce leaf on a McShitburger?

Bro you just rolled that post out like a post-structural Simone de Beauvoir doing her best Zizek doing his best Dennis Miller. Even Paglia would be impressed.

Yo, prom:

She's back. At ILP. Sort of.

Whoever the fuck they are. Just making my own observation on what I can see with my own eyes and then interpreted it in my own brain. Not difficult at all.
