Now, since only goodness can raise a man above the level of human kind, it follows that it is proper that wickedness thrusts down to a level below mankind those whom it has dethroned from the condition of being human.

The result is that you cannot think of anyone as human whom you see transformed by wickedness.

So what happens is that when a man abandons goodness and ceases to be human,

being unable to rise to a divine condition, he sinks to the level of being an animal."

Boethius, the Consolation of Philosophy

You can't dehumanize a person; the wicked do that to themselves.

Matheme 1: The Illusion of Openness

$M ≠ ∑S$ Meaning: The movement ($M$) is not the sum of its subjects ($∑S$). Explanation: The movement claims to be constituted by the people it serves, but its discursive architecture precedes and constrains the subjects within it. The individual ($S$) is admitted only insofar as they mirror the movement’s Imaginary. Debate Utility: Use this to challenge the opposition’s claim that the movement is organically democratic or inclusive.

Hegel's book, The Logic, but like in distilling the underlying dialectical logic from the phenomenology. It's a stage of unhappy consciousness. You know,

it's a stage of, of a negation that turns the subject inward, right?

So the question is, how do you reestablish that connection?

How do you reestablish that relationship to the outside?

You know, in this case, to society, to the object of the contradiction itself.

And the answer, in my view, is you need to adopt what they call in China.

I think this is what they mean by this, by the way.

You need to adopt a lofty outlook.

What does that mean?

You need to adopt a sagacious outlook based on wisdom, which is what?

Instead of dwelling upon your own social ostracization and the contradiction between your own lack of a sense of belonging and that of society sorry your own lack of a sense of belonging and the the one that

society seems to possess you know all the NPCs or whatever you should objectivize that contradiction as a contradiction of society itself.

You should accept that society itself is struggling with itself.

And that as much as we want to believe that we're the guy sitting in the corner and everyone's

partying having a normal time twerking or whatever the truth is you know all of society's

going through it all of us as much as all the NPCs that you know the chud Chud Jack holds in contempt, who are going to concerts and

partying and going out to bars and stuff, as much as they're all having a great time, they're

also suffering inside.

You know, they're also alienated.

And that's just the truth. And you're not better than anyone for having internalized that alienation at the level of your intellect. Because it's there in their hearts, you know? Even if it's not in their intellect, it's still there in their hearts.

You know, it's still there with them in debt, struggling to pay their bills.

You know, you need to understand that you're not in a privileged position of subjectivity.

You're in a privileged position of the intellect only.

And that by no means is that an exhaustive realm of humanity, you know.

I mean, they do know that they're suffering.

You know, why do you think people, you know, go out and have fun and drink and shit?

It's because they're just trying to fucking, you know,

have some positivity in their life.

But anyway,

you know, you need to, you need to, um, you need to, um, in order to be normal again after that it first of all you're never going to be totally normal like that's just the fact in the sense of it this is something i don't know i said this on stream i'm like you know when you're tryingARP as normal too much, it's really the uncanny valley.

You know, when you sit here like, oh, I don't want to be a communist anymore.

I don't want to be a Marxist anymore. Ordinary people don't understand that. So why should I care?

And it's like because you're fucking larping. You're in the uncanny valley. You're pretending you're

like some normie, you know, you're like some normie blue collar worker and you're not. You have

been infected with Marxism

what is the relationship between praxis and theory? is there between practice and theory? Because isn't praxis just the realization of the of a theory in your view

where's the way to what extent is practice something that isn't directly a reflection of theory

in your view well there's compelled kinds of practices such as what the kind of work you do when you're a slave so so i don't want to i don't want to make a huge leap but what's ringing off in my brain right now when you say that is that

if the only way we can understand material

reality, independent from ideas,

our relationships of power,

True

Rent-A-Girlfriend is genuinely an artistic masterpiece. Even among harem romcom, it is Sisyphus perfected. What other series can end a chapter with the leading love interest saying “I think I might be in love with you” only to immediately follow it up with “But I still won’t date you” immediately when the scene resumes in the next chapter.

I don’t know what actually goes on this manga, but the only thing that could make this better is if a side character’s romantic pursuits gets developed while the protagonist is stuck in perpetual romantic edging. That would be actual plot NTR.
