"I'm also thinking of all the post structuralists like Adorno and his crankiness and predisposition to call everything fascist, where school is fascist, the military is fascist, movies and TV are fascist, mayonnaise is fascist.. etc."
"Conceptualising writing as a craft refers to nothing except the subsumption of art within the self-replicating machine of capital. Theodor Adorno devoted every second of his life to preventing this event. He was a nice man."
"I know none of this is new. Adorno culture industry yada yada. I guess seeing all this exaggerated x100 the past few days has just bothered me."
"Adorno eat your heart out. Comment a work of art and I will tell you if it is based or cringe"
"in the recent year, i feel like a lot of people - some even bordering on what i'd call normies (dumb word, but whatever)- have exhibited a growing interest in witchcraft, crystals, tarot and the like. I have my own takes, and i've also read an Adorno essay(?) on it, but i'm curious to hear your idea"
"I can't even make jokes. Our 'culture' is paper-thin. Adorno was right. We need to bring back Maoism."
"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."
