1/25 There are many factors contributing to Canada's rapid decline. I will focus on the political contributions and touch on some cultural shortcomings. Notice that the vitriol is targeted exclusively at Justin Trudeau. This is intentional. Image
2/25 While the 2nd most racist Trudeau deserves it, we need to be honest: Justin Trudeau, despite his childish temper tantrums, made no decisions, and everyone in Ottawa knows it. This isn't speculation; it comes from sources in the Liberal Party.
3/25 The postmodern Canadian system is governed by strategic management companies/lobby groups who are subcontracted for the purpose of policy advisory, polling, and developing political platforms leading into elections. cbc.ca/news/politics/…

The #FrankfurtSchool rose to fame—backed by the ruling class, imperialist states & CIA—by promoting Eurocentric social chauvinism, anti-communism & “cultural” Marxism sans praxis. 🧵 1/16

Frankfurt School critical theory has been—w #FrenchTheory—one of the hottest commodities of the global theory industry. They are the political & ideological source for so many trend-setting academic discourses: #pomo #poco #DecolonialTheory #QueerTheory #Afropessimism etc. 2/16 Image
Adorno & Horkheimer directly contributed to the CIA’s imperial project of reinforcing the non-communist Left. Horkheimer participated in its junkets while Adorno published in CIA journals, corresponded w their operatives & liaised about expanding their activities in Germany. 3/16 Image

@zeitonline_kul @NRPollatschek 1/ Herzlichen Dank für den Vermittlungsversuch! Aber da haben Sie leider knapp am Problem der "Universalisten" vorbei geschrieben. Es geht den "Universalisten" nicht um den Inhalt der Herzen von Menschen und auch faktische Diskriminierung
@zeitonline_kul @NRPollatschek 2/ entlang einer Reihe von Kategorien wird wohl niemand bestreiten. Aber nicht jeder Unterschied ist eine Diskriminierung. Die Formel des Bundesverfassungsgerichts ist dafür: Diskriminierung ist wenn Gleiches ungleich und Ungleiches gleich behandelt wird. Eigentlich clever.
@zeitonline_kul @NRPollatschek 3/ Die politische Frage nach der relevanten Betrachtungsebene löst das natürlich nicht (als Beispiel: was ist das für die Gleichheitsbetrachtung relevante Kriterium der Ehe, wenn man das Kriterium der spezifischen Verbindung von Mann und Frau nicht mehr heranzieht?

#California's disappearing sea snails carry a grim climate warning: The red #Abalone abalone die-off may be a sign of what’s to come.

@RichieHertzberg @michaelesgro @OPC_California @NatGeo @ilike_mike Kelp restoration has the potential to play a valuable role as one of many integrated tools in an ecosystem-based management approach, especially for #RedAbalone @HealTheBay @SMBRF @nbcbayarea @CBSNews @abc7newsbayarea @ReefCheck

OK, I've reached my limit — I can't take it anymore. Here comes a rant about how it seems like everyone in the USA is getting "post-modernism" wrong.

Context: I'm listening to Philosophy Talk's episode "Is Postmodernism Really to Blame for Post-Truth?" 1/ philosophytalk.org/shows/postmode…
2/ First, on the term itself. "Postmodernism" can mean so many different things — from specific movements in art, architecture & literature to an entire socio-cultural era — and yet it has become the term for a punching bag filled with a variety of misunderstandings.
3/ I can't bring myself to continue this "PoMo" misnomering. It just confuses everything. So I'm going to call it "critical theory" or CT for lack of a better term.

1 might also ID it as the post-structuralist tradition of investigating the relations between power & knowledge.
