don’t wanna jump to “this is kali” but the stuck-out tongue and the accelerationist designers make me suspect it. arguably the necklace itself is white in imitation of the necklace of skulls kali wears. unlike the shirt i haven’t found it on their site
FASCISTS, CULT LEADERS, AND THE ACADEMICS WHO LOVE THEM
Hello, everyone. I’ve noticed a recent uptick of interest in Massimo lntrovigne & CESNUR, not to mention the unexpected response to my tweet about political difficulties in a certain related field…
I think it’s finally time I share my research with you.
Massimo lntrovigne is the director of the Centro Studi sulle Nuovi Religioni (CESNUR), a “religious liberty” think tank based in Turin, Italy, and editor-in-chief of “Bitter Winter,” an online magazine about “religious liberty in China” and more.
my program at the u. of amsterdam has something of a “nazi problem” (yes, it’s esoteric studies), but when i asked the head of my department to consider screening for that kind of thing in admissions, i was told very sternly the government doesn’t allow that. this is fine though.

A little spontaneous but I’d like to share some of my own thoughts about Faustus, Prospero, and John Dee. A fable for the age of technological enchantment.
There is a clear & intentional analogue between the characters of Faustus and Prospero. Their names mean the same thing. Compare the last lines of these two soliloquies. I’ll come back to those.
