No it sucks lol I like Adam Curtis (just finished Traumazone) but he has zero clue what he’s talking about when it comes to Freudianism

November 15 🤫

i was asking which you think is his best

"It's a private company. They do whatever they want" said by a person with dimmed mind. Comedic argument for the ages and time always crawl.

... but but but comedy is dead

Oh lol uhh honestly I was really impressed with Traumazone and so it might end up being that

Either that or Hypernormalization

What's happening November 15th

I still like Twitter

Looks like they’re rolling this out this morning keep seeing it and s***s so stupid lmao

So let me get this straight, Elon is making people pay for the blue check but is also giving a secondary white check to actual official accounts???

Such a f***ing redundant overcorrection

The verification system was fine as it was

Elon looking like a bozo these days
just had to sell off more TSLA just to fund his TWTR mistake

you hate to see it

He has to know this was a stupid idea but is so stubborn he’s not gonna reverse it

trump called musk his little b****.
doubt we seeing trump on anytime soon.
unless its near election time and trump and twitter are desperate for eyeballs

Love to see it

Replacing the free blue tick by a free Official tick before making people pay for the Official tick and replacing it with a free Really Official tick before...

how’s traumazone i’ve watched like 1 hour of it but i feel like it’s gonna worsen my depressive mood

this verified stuff is all so dumb

It’s great and I highly recommend

Just take his jabs at “communism” with a grain of salt and you’ll get a lot out of it

Obvs you know the USSR was nothing resembling socialism or communism during the time period he’s talking about so shouldn’t be an issue

Unless there's a bigger plan to the blue tick for $8, then this is moronic af

yeah i was aware of the 2nd and 3rd paragraph but seeing what happen to those people is still just

also what’s ur problem with the freudism in century of self just interested cause i started reading Freud recently

He just describes Freudianism as the tool of bourgeoise control and Freud as some crazy cynical mastermind. He completely ignores the history of psychoanalysis and the class struggles that played out within it

Like I guess if you were strictly talking about Jung and his acolytes he would maybe have something interesting to say but he’s just completely misrepresenting the entire project

hmm u got any interesting things on the class struggle that played out with it

Class struggle was maybe the wrong phrase. I guess internal battles over the philosophical orientation of psychoanalysis (which of course has to do with ideological class struggle)

Read the epilogue of Eros and Civilization by Marcuse (I’d suggest reading the whole book, or at least the first half, which is great, second half is whatever. But the epilogue specifically deals with this)

Also check out Althussers writings on Freud, Lacan, and psychoanalysis

Freud’s History of Psychoanalysis will probably also be helpful

So if an "Official" account doesn't want to pay for twitter blue will they also lose the grey check?
