OK I'll go first. First, of course, we need to recognize and at least partially outline the basic elements of orthodox phenomenology, which we will do by simply stringing together a series of recognizable words: figure, ground, etc.

next, we will take for our purposes the example of a penis penetrating the empty space between two large breasts, and, in an ironic way, compare it to Lacan's famous dictum concerning the empty space around which a clay vessel is formed.

then, we merely have to admit in a mode of total exposure the fact of our use of pornography and the sad state of our love lives, even the fact that we are 29 year old virgins, and then, and only then, can we proceed the really be thinkers of this moment and this time in all of its traumatic Realness

oh by the way i advocate, against reprehensible and cowardly liberals, the use of violence against those who oppress us, and think that by dint of my "insight" into the nature of violence and capitalism, my body is surrounded by a forcefield maintained by a sexual sadist who nonetheless loves me and will punish me if i ever engage in intimate physical contact with anyone, which is dumb because that's impossible anyway, since i am so terrified of being a "rapist," and am so unconsciously inured with the idea that sex can only be enjoyed along with some mythical thing called love, that i am practically guaranteed to, if not commit suicide then, die alone and miserable.... but having created something artistically valuable? No.

One still hears periodic complaints bemoaning the fact that MTV stopped playing music videos and instead followed the trend of reality TV, filling their schedule with shows like the Real World or Road Rules.

What is often overlooked is the fact that this shift in focus of the MTV channel was not the result of greedy corporate executives steering the network towards the lowest common denominator and thus the highest revinues, but was the intrinsic result of a deadlock inherent to the very form of the music video itself, which was never able to really form a coherent artistic model...

etc... I am extremely lonely and wish that i had a girlfriend.

my madonna/whore complex is already neatly taken care of through the internet: in reality, in face-to-face contact with other people, inclusive of girls, i find it easy bribe them with enough civility to guarantee that my inner peace is never compromised... meanwhile, even if I have no access to internet I still masturbate to scenes I saw on Xvideo or Porntube or Youjizz... to scenes so despicable that i can't even relate to my own proclivity, and end up winding up endowed with blinded windows and wandering where wonderous wallowing wrecks wallow in wicked whispers

It took me a long time to get up the courage within myself to write this post. I held off on posting this thread because I was worried about what goons would think - is my paranoia so ridiculous that this will become a mod challenge thread? I don't know. I hope not. I think if I had a girlfriend it would be a lot different.

For about the past...I'm not sure, a year, maybe a year and a half, I've had in my head what I can only classify as a sort of generalized paranoia, mostly about the US government. Let me clarify one thing: I am not paranoid about the government being out to "get me" *in particular*, so much as I'm worried about what appears to be a general thread toward authoritarianism, and the thought that me or my future children will grow up with surveillance as a norm rather than an exception. I really wish I had a girlfriend and fear for the safety of my hypothetical girlfriend. I feel like there's nothing I can do to help campaign against such a thing without being put on a theoretical "watch list" and jeopardizing mine and my family's future when the government eventually does cross the deep end, so to speak. I also really wish I had a girlfriend.

Every time I read an article about the recent SOPA or NDAA bills (the former with the incredibly draconian copyright provisions and the latter with the indefinite detention language), I get physically ill. Not enough to throw up, but I get to the point where I can't focus at work - as soon as I read article number one, it's all I can think about, and I can't get it out of my mind no matter how much I try. The worst part is that I don' thave a girlfriend to comfort me. Then I see an article someone posts about some town in Michigan that has street lights that can monitor and record the area around which they're posted (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ncy-alerts.html) and it only gets worse. Maybe if I had a girlfriend it wouldn't be so bad, but I don't. Unless the claims are truly outrageous, I can't help but get ill thinking about the possibilities, whether the source is credible or not (I am well aware of the Daily Mail's status as a troll-type publication).

I waver between thinking I'm insane, and between thinking I'm not, and between thinking I need therapy and thinking I don't. I don't think I have a schizophrenic-type disorder as I'm not having hallucinations. I also am not having a girlfriend. As I said, I don't imagine that the government gives a shit about *me in particular* so much as they want to monitor everyone and everything and silently bury those who would dissent with the views of whoever is at the top at the time, eventually resulting in a 1984-like society in which no one has truly free thought.

Given the recent events in congress with the SOPA and NDAA bills, the coordinated crackdowns on OWS, and other occurrences, are my fears justified? Am I on the verge of schizophrenia? Do I have something else? Is therapy the answer (probably yes)? Is there something I'm not considering? Would getting a girlfriend help me?

i often wonder about the extent to which young, foolhardy "revolutiionaries" are aware of the fact that the very subjectivity that is the impetus of revolution, the volition of a necessarily blind(from the retrospective of Freedom) and hampered Will, must pass into nothingess - in other words, become what it really is...

what i'm wondering is, do you realize that, if you were, in some insane and impossible fantasy-land dimension, to fulfill your proper desitiny(of destroying society,) you would be erasing yourself? do you realize what kind of freedom that affords you? necessarily you cannot!
#12
oh, but i should add, contingently it simply does not, since you are not a revolutionary but a dumb idiot on the internet

there is a series of pornographic videos that involve black women having oral sex with a group of white men who are wearing tee shirts emblazoned with the confederate flag.

i, careful reader of Sakai's Settlers, have jerked myself off to these videos on a number of occasions, i love watching women give blowjobs to lots of big, hard cocks, and especially black women vis a vis a bunch of white cocks, i think there must be some element of the many negating the one - that is, the very overload of big fat cocks serves to distract from the missing element, which is of course the maternal phallus. please ignore the impossible to live with implication that, at least at the level of sexual fantasy, black women are beasts, objects that i can manipulate for my plasure - and, in real life, real people act in such a way that my sick fantasy arrives on my little screen, so that i can jerk off my little cock...
