Anyone want to go to the Hegelian E-Girl launch party?
The HEC will be producing works of cultural commentary to reconcile opposing sides, in conjunction with hosting salon-style spaces for people to talk about important issues and difficult ideas while resisting their reflexive reduction to existing ideological oppositions. We also seek to create new forms of dialectical mediation between opposing viewpoints in Western society, and point the way to solutions that transcend reduction and polarization produced by the status quo. As a women-led initiative, the HEC seeks to prioritize women’s voices in critiquing stereotyped political logic from a socially grounded perspective.

What are these "opposing sides"? I hope it's a leftist talking about liberals, but I worry it's a liberal talking about the left & fasc
"Beyond Woke and Problematic" sound like the stage names the Red Scare dumbasses would come up with to do a neo-tradCath version of Diamond & Silk's schtick
what even is this? Like beyond the hellish vibes this has going on (and I just know it has some horrible red scare/dimes square connection which I was hoping died off), what do I see if I go to this? Will it just be some woman who calls herself "Beyond Woke and Problematic" droning on about Hegel at me for an hour and a half?
I try to figure out who these people are and I just follow links to these random substacks full of articles with titles like "Notes 6/29/24" where they ramble on and on about nothing with no clear purpose. The most irony-poisoned, masturbatory, faux-intellectual posturing I've ever read in my life. I honestly feel pity at these peoples' existence, life must be a living hell for them. Are these the children of privilege, overeducated at the country's most elite institutions now with nothing to do in their lives but cosplay as postmodern Downtown philosophers? What do these people actually do? Like, how are they notable, and why should I care about their thoughts on Hegel? Or what they think at all?
There’s a series of scenes from the show The Sopranos where the mob wives try to be sophisticated and “elevate” themselves beyond the status of dormant, spoiled wives of criminals.
They have brunch and movie clubs. But they always become bored, create echo chambers supporting each other’s nonsensical analyses, or they just end up with conversations about vanity.
Wow, Haela Hunt-Hendrix happens to be the lead woman of one of my favorite bands. Liturgy, a "transcendental black metal" band which everyone who likes metal should go ahead and check out
I know she's mentioned Hegel and Marx before and definitely doesn't read as a reactionary to me, but all of her gnostic kabbalah Christian mysticism stuff is completely inscrutable to me. All her philosophical ramblings post-Aesthetica make the Transcendental Black Metal manifesto seem completely straightforward and completely devoid of pretense.
("Pretentious" isn't exactly the right word, she seems 100% genuine about whatever it is she's getting at, but you can definitely tell she's a Yale philosophy major with a masters that thinks her "arkwork" concept is like the idea behind Scriabin's "Mysterium" where the Wagnerian idea of gesamtkunstwerk creates some kind of religious revelatory mystical effect on its audience or something. There's a track on Renihilation that's a direct reference to Mysterium IIRC. Really interesting and deeply odd person. Also the great(?)granddaughter of a Poppy Bush affiliated Texan oil baron fortune.)
I cant understand any of her philosphic ramblings. However the live show was outstanding, I love most of their album art and some of their songs are beautiful. 'god of love' is one of my favorite tracks of all time.
She's from a prominent bourgeoisie family, the Hunts helped create the professional sports industry in the US and originally made their fortune in oil. It tracks, unfortunately, in the way that this all reads as some bougie nonsense. I love the music too tho
Damn that actually makes a shit load of sense. Kinda sad but at least she got the financial backing to make such interesting music. Tbh I always liked the aesthetic and triggering my parents with anything that had weird cross imagery
I like how everybody was completely on board with this kid talking about Donald Trump completing the circle to contact the Anunnaki to descend from their space ships to raise Thule and Atlantis to reverse the sea levels rising, but freaked the fuck out as soon as they got a whiff that he might be a fascist.
