Response 1: Invisibility of violence in Korean...
soniassi:
[Part of 4 posts responding to responses to this post.]
This was brought up by dagSeoul and fleetingbeat – the fact that there is domestic abuse in Korea and that it goes unreported. I’m extremely hesitant to make any statements about this issue simply because I know very little about it.
Here’s a UNHCR document on the progression of domestic abuse prosecution in Korea, which...

The Excluded Limens
Were you to notice blood on your toilet paper and quickly, reflexively stick your finger underneath to discover with only a slight bit of pressure that you have a small but firm hemorrhoid just on the inside of your anus, what would you do knowing that persistent rectal lump resided there now sometimes with effect other times to be undetected?
Wouldn’t you feel the need to put your finger...

GTFO
allergictocats:
While I understand your point regarding people using “triggering” as a synonym for “offensive”, I still disagree with this post. It’s not up to anyone to decide how triggering something is to a person. You never know a person’s story, and you never know whether a person is triggered by content or not. The OP really overgeneralized trigger warnings and the tumblr community. I...

Something tells me you’ll understand what I mean.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I really appreciate it.
I think I might have misunderstood your original post (I read it in the middle of — as I’m sure you’ve noticed — a rather huge debate on Tumblr and maybe should have spent more time thinking about what you meant). I completely agree with you that Tumblrs whose...

I’m beginning to believe that many tumblr blogs exist simply to seek out triggers to be triggered and to perform being-triggered in a public space.

it’s not about choice, is it. not really. please let’s stop catering to consumerism in our discourse. let’s stop reinforcing the system of representation that is killing everything.
human rights, equality, women’s access to medical care without the company of men, et al.: these things are not like choosing between Coke and Pepsi.
Binaries are the death of discourse and...

your opinions aren't deep
sonofapritch:
In all fairness, “depth” is not necessarily a good thing for poetry. Poetry, or at least interesting poetry, has to do with surfaces and not depths. One could probably say something similar for most art (and I might, but I’m also very dogmatic sometimes). Form is more important than content, and if the form is line-breaking an angry opinion about abortion, then you’re doing it...

If it’s not your body, Fuck off. You opinion isn’t needed, Or wanted.
this is not poetry.
When William Carlos Williams said “a poem can be made of anything,” he said it that way so that “made” implied a certain amount of work on the part of the poet.
Having a voice ain’t politics either. Any discourse that functions at the level of...

The problem with anticap’s statements isn’t that they’re just PRODUCTS of rape culture. It’s that THEY ARE RAPE CULTURE. THEY ARE PART OF RAPE CULTURE. Every time you, or anticap, or anyone says something along the lines of “women shouldn’t go out at night or hey they’ll get what they deserve”, it CONTRIBUTES DIRECTLY to an environment where rapists know they...

I really hope no one digs up my political writings...
Here’s the bottom line. Much tumblr feminist discourse is white male adolescents bitching about bitches and white female adolescents and their slightly older online friends criticizing the boys’ sexist posts. In other words, it’s nothing to do with feminism. Anyone can point a finger and label speech.
It’s not discourse I suggest anyone participate in. The result of the...

Some day I will read the full Nietzsche list. I’ve only down Beyond Good & Evil and Genealogy, and only Genealogy made any sense to me at the time. I actually I probably had part of the Gay Science at one point but it made even less sense.

Okay, that makes more sense. I’m still curious why you put Arendt in there, since at least in my experience she’s someone with a similar following who everyone recommends.

I think that Capital was in the readings for my intro political philosophy class.

I think that Capital was in the readings for my intro political philosophy class. In any case if your talking introductions, Marx is a more accessible into to Hegelian than Hegel is, imo.
I wouldn’t suggest Hegel in a 5 books I Should Read list.

The more I read about Anarcho-capitalism, right-libertarianism and Agorism; the more I find it relates to the idea of the passive revolution. The action of positional rather than structural change and the solidification of capitalist power structures as dominant above all else. To whit, it’s a contemporary realisation of a cosmopolitan fascism. Unbound by geographical...
