Oi, politidorks, hit me up with some nuanced articles you've been reading lately.

You just have to be careful about it. Sumatran? Communist. Columbian? Communist. Guatemalan? Communist. French roast? You can capitalize it, but natural state is communist. Americana is a commie trick, it's not real American coffee and therefore it's communist. Etc.

Really you have to go to Starbuck's to get coffee, because they exploit the poor overseas, which capitalizes just about any blend.

Starbucks sounds like the sort of establishment that deserves to have its windows smashed.

That'll teach the Deep State

Replace Deep State with Donald Trump, and you've got the DC riots.

If we smash all the windows in America, that's basically the same as instituting the end stage of communism!

You know what they say: dissent on the streets, revolution in the sheets.

I don't use sheets. Just a concrete slab and a bearskin.

I see you like in the radical extremes.

I can't say I can deride you on that.

Indeed. Some say I am so far on the edge that I am the lord of the edge. Me, I don't even know what the edge means.

They say you're far too edgy. But you: you're still seeking the edge.

Reading this for a class. If someone can give me some insights and explain/summarize it for me that'd be great because I am hitting neither shore nor ocean with my attempt at figuring it out. I am reading the words but they just don't materialize for me in my head as tangible things. It just seems like a lot of theory that doesn't make sense to me.

well that's politics alright

@Keyguyperson fuck u buddy

@mdk it's linked to politics, it's basically explaining the chronology of monarchy -> republic with representation or monarchies with representation (to a lesser degree) where the bourgeois began forming a public sphere (where private people come together in a public body to discuss matters related to politics) and how it progressed from there. The media was a nr. 1 tool for them more or less like the French political journals and stuff.

The author then argues that there was a change in modern society where that's no longer the case, or beginning to decrease, due to media being increasingly focused on crime and entertainment and how there is no longer a platform for politics unless it generates revenue.

Now I'm unsure where the change comes in
