Zdzisław Beksiński. Untitled, 1973

Certain strains of accelerationist anarchism, particularly those you find online, are just celebrating the oppression and death of minorities with a tacky veneer of “for the greater good” smeared over, change my mind.

    Ehh I have COVID and the brain fog is real. Who knows what I’m even saying at this point. I read this interesting anthropology book that traced humanity from pre-homo sapien to present. It introduced me to the notion that human rights are a fiction. They only have any effect when we give them effect. Who knows if that’s even the right effect/affect?

      I hear you :( wishing you a significant and speedy recovery!

      And affect is the verb, so you used the correct one here :)

        Affect is also a noun. And effect is also a verb.

        You have a flat affect.

        You can effect change.
