In The Aggregate: Reactions on Media Madness
Editor’s Note: In The Aggregate is a new semi-regular series bringing you links to, and commentary on stories of interest to leftists, from around the web; featured on Media Madness.
Refusing to Drown in Slow Motion
The short story here is that I’m suffering from a long-term illness that makes it difficult for me to write. I’m struggling with concentration, focus, and chronic fatigue; none of which are helpful when writing essays. In order to get back on track, I’ve decided to revive and rename our recommended reading series; which I’m now calling In the Aggregate. I don’t know how often, or how long I’ll be doing this, but for the moment it’s helping me work myself back into shape. In this edition of In the Aggregate, we take a snapshot of the state of Pig Empire reaction by examining articles and longform essays from around the left(ish) side of the internet.
“Liberal antifascism is staggeringly ineffective and always has been; the only way to stop fascism, is to make fascists (including rich fascists) too afraid to spread their poisonous ideology. In light of American capital’s dependence on maintaining core principles of that ideology in order to justify exploitation for profit, I fear giving the nazis a stern talking-to might not be enough to stem the tide of legally and politically empowered fascism in the Pig Empire.”
