"Her entire life is projected through a prism of social media but, more than anything, she seems to derive all knowledge and opinion from A+D and to a lesser degree Lasch and dumb french academics."
""read more Christopher Lasch""
"By the end of the episode Anna had bludgeoned her into feeling dumb for her subjective experience (DONT LISTEN TO HER DASHA!!) via a whirlwind of words words words, often ridiculous 'It's Christopher Lasch for women?? NO Anna your TAKE on it was Laschian, the content has nothing to do with Lasch, th"
"these quotes are taken from a chapter in The Culture of Narcissism, "The Degradation of Sport." While much of the chapter focuses on sports (obviously, he published this in the '70s and wasn't thinking of "games" the way we are), and some of the best quotes in the chapter are more specifically relat"
"That was such a good angle. Listening to old Dasha interviews it's clear she had such a good grasp on what he was saying. His message is so important for the world."
"Just go to your local poetry night and count how many I, me, my, mine, etc you hear. Might be a symptom of the Longhouse. Perhaps Laschian narcissism?"
"i remember i put "christopher lasch" into reddit's search bar in late 2019, found some post on stupidpol, looked at the profile, the user said something like ">redscarepod user," i looked at the subreddit, the same place i am now, and started using it."
"I live in rural north Alabama, near Huntsville, so unsurprisingly the set of people whose thoughts run in directions similar to those of people who listen to Red Scare and read Lasch is, at best, so small as to be functionally invisible to a casual observer."
"And this I think is the real value, beyond style, of somebody like Updike or, maybe you remember him, Kit Lasch. The whole so-called American Century has been a kind of grotesque"
"I trust Anna (or at least Anna's stubbornness) enough to think her critique will remain strictly Laschian, demanding a better left without ditching the left entirely."
"I have read Lasch and agree with his observations, but they more accurately describe members of his generation than members of mine. While gen Z/ millennials struggle with the same issues of self love as narcists do, they seem to be more self defeating than self aggrandizing."
"Lasch talks about the Culture of Narcissism that affects society and its individuals, but has anyone talked about how this phenomenon affects corporations?"
"in conversation tonight he off-handedly mentioned Lasch's culture of narcissism"
"Yet even then I can think of plenty of former contributors to the Partisan Review who became idiosyncratically conservative or even neocons by middle age, along with Christopher Lasch, Richard Hofstadter, Tolstoy (possibly), Foucault (cannot be denied)."
"all this could probably be related to modern narcissism, the decay of listening and attention spans, and im sure people like Lasch or Adorno would have something more insightful to comment on this than me lol."
"Are they being asked just to fill up interview time because we're all so grossly over-qualified for virtually every role we apply for nowadays, as Daddy Lasch warned us"
"i remember i put "christopher lasch" into reddit's search bar in late 2019, found some post on stupidpol"
"I have read Lasch and agree with his observations, but they more accurately describe members of his generation than members of mine."

"I just read lasch recently and i can't help but notice how similar the main character of camus' book has very similar traits described by lasch in that neurosis of our time"
"I wonder what Lasch would have thought about it."
