Not to clear the name of nihilism and make it safe for "The Left" or to make us feel OK when we listen to Blessed in Sin, but precisely to ask what of the stages, processes, objects, and, above all, assumed subject position - even as, sure, we're undoing that anthropocentric intentional self - of nihilism. Much more to say on this, will try to work up a post, and mostly, when I make it to London soon, we're gonna need plenty of beers and a lot of hours to hash through/thresh out.<br /><br />Though I will say now: I refuse to surrender the health-tinged ruddy cheeks to the fascists. They can have eagles, but we're keeping a nihilism of the unnecessarily healthy. The black hole of self-destruction is a lot bleaker when you fall from apple-cheeked youth.ECWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02142600295759704786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7038706923946698710.post-50409458707675906862010-06-12T05:12:27.332-07:002010-06-12T05:12:27.332-07:00many thanks sorge, I'll have a read. I've ...many thanks sorge, I'll have a read. I've certainly come across the Zerzan strain of primitivism (everything went wrong with language...), but these are new to me. Considering I have a semi-attraction to nihilism it's something I would like to work through in more detail, when I have the timeBenjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18237178500472453910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7038706923946698710.post-9479973538279150672010-06-11T18:57:58.508-07:002010-06-11T18:57:58.508-07:00Interesting.

Have you heard of this lot? <br /><br />http://www.dark-mountain.net/about-2/the-manifesto/<br /><br />Not so much 'ice theory' but trendy radical-ecologists/catastrophists who would negate humanity in the face of nature, and cultivate a rather bookish, Modernist nihilism along the way.sorgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10124272795274142821noreply@blogger.com
