Diogène contre les idoles : du cynisme antique au néocynisme de Walter Benjamin

Antisthène et Diogène ne proposent pas une doctrine abstraite, mais une manière de vivre qui expose les mensonges de la cité. De la parrhèsia cynique au « caractère destructeur » de Benjamin, un même geste : dépouiller le monde de ses faux-semblants pour recommencer avec peu. #Cynicism #Diogenes #Antisthenes #WalterBenjamin #Philosophy #CriticalTheory #AntiCapitalism Diogène contre les…

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "We have not seen a caravan headed to the United States' southern border in several years, why is one said to be coming from Honduras now? Oh yeah, there is an election coming and the Republican Party needs to scare you into voting because nothing else is working for them."

In the #USA important #midterms are coming up

" #Trump is going to mess with the #election"

"On a particular issue, both sides don't offer me anything"

"The #Democrats are going to win, they don't need me"

etc

#Perfectionism and #cynicism, as well as #MAGA, is how we creep towards #fascism

Another country earlier this year was facing similar/ worse prospects of meddling

The people showed up

And look at #Hungary now:

Attention #fediverse / #mastodon

We're entering #election season in the #USA. The #midterms

That means something for you:

You will see an increase in #trolls

Messages along the lines of

"Nothing ever changes, both sides the same, waah" #cynicism

And

"The candidate is unideal. Allow me to amplify and manufacture high holy outrage on the point" #perfectionism

All of which is designed to suppress the #left #vote and help #MAGA

You have been warned. Brace yourself

#vote

especially you american assholes

#fascism doesn't want you to vote

and, in your mindless #cynicism and loser #perfectionism, you give them exactly what they want

why?

fucking pathetic

of course you don't *only* vote

because this is a war, and a vote is just one small tactic on one small battlefield

but to ignore something so easy is just unfathomably stupid

because you think a vote is some holy thing that reflects on your soul?

😂

that's SO DUMB

it's just tactics

"Mayor Zohran #Mamdani and other city officials announced a sweeping new policy Wednesday imposing a one-year ban on student use of generative #artificialIntelligence in #NewYorkCity #publicSchools from 2-K through 8th grade"

How did we get Mamdani?

People ignored the #DNC, didn't whine #cynicism and #perfectionism and not #vote, and put him there

We can have 100 Mamdanis across the #USA if more Americans follow this lead

*what are you doing about it*

not voting or 3rd party in our shitty FPTP system doesn't work

i say we take over the dems

meaning what?

#ElSayed, #Mamdani

other people just attack the dems and… that's it

so they have what?

#cynicism, #perfectionism: pathetic loser bullshit

tacit or clueless support for MAGA by suppressing the left #vote

such fake leftists are just idiots or right wing trolls

@eryops @thisislieven @skeletor

despair is normal

but don't let it curdle into #cynicism

not because of noble reasons, but tactical failure:

when you become a cynic you accept the unacceptable

you aid malice

you become a willing abuse victim

don't

if not for your sake, then for those around you you care about, the principles you care about:

reject cynicism

and *my* reason:

fuck plutocrats and bigots!

use your disgust positively:

get angry!

reject self-destructive rot into cynicism

@thisislieven @skeletor

to find the silver lining:

large slow movements take time to gather momentum

but when they do they steamroll everything

i'm watching #ElSayed and #Mamdani here in the #USA and i am delighted:

people are waking up from their #perfectionism and #cynicism and figuring out they have to fucking participate, and not just sit on the sidelines and judge

so yes the wait is excrutiating

but relief is coming, as you say, and i also believe

@intothewestaway

thank you PeaceNick!

#ElSayed is a blaring radioactive red klaxon for the #Left:

we #vote, we win, we change the world

you don't vote, you stew in whiny #perfectionism and cringe #cynicism, you only aid #MAGA

after El Sayed, anyone still in pathetic psychological failure mode should be pilloried for their loser existence of helping #fascism in their inaction

people are getting it! 😃 they're voting! 😍

your #pessimism is not our reality

if you know even a little of history, you know there's always a struggle. backsliding, wins, backsliding, wins, etc

always

and you fight

always

unfortunately in this world there are those like you who aid malice by giving the fuck up: #cynicism

but that's not the worst

you then plant your whiny useless ass in convos arguing hard for weakness, cowardice, acceptance of malice

no

fuck you

your spinelessness is not ours, loser
