That sounds really cool. In French or an English translation (I don’t speak French but it does sound cool enough to check out a good translation. A friend gave me a pile of used books for Christmas and one of them was a late 19th century French novel called against nature I’ve been working my way through. Not sure how I feel about it but it’s interesting and I’ve never really engaged with stuff from that time and place. It has a cool little bit about a bejeweled and gilded turtle though

I don't even have a clear idea of what the post-left is beyond "Greenwald and I think Max Blumenthal are considered parts of it, and it has something to do with being whiny about identity politics." I think that the ideas behind it (to the extent that they even coherently exist) are generally dumb, but can't conceive of thinking it matters (since they're still less dumb and dumb in a less meaningful/harmful way than literally any mainstream ideology).

IMO the people bringing it up are doing so because they've been conditioned by internet/twitter discourse into constantly feeling the need to explain/defend themselves to liberals. So they have to bring up the "post-left" so they can make sure the liberals realize that they're not one of those people, they're a good leftist who cares about social justice!

Glenn greenwald and max Blumenthal aren't post left. The post left is all those crees and dickheads who were never leftists but pretend they were so they can go on about how they had to leave the left because of woke ideology. People who go around saying poo poo like "I used to be a leftist but I refused to agree we should abolish gender and make families illegal". It's not an ideology, it's a grift in the actual sense of the word

Agreed that it doesn't matter at all though. They're preaching to an audience of sad pepes, no one who matters gives a poo poo

Is there something particularly unique about a Canadian indigenous people that makes them particularly drawn to the post left?

Matty is just a dumbass with an over abundance of confidence. I don’t think he’s any different than any of the other notable liberal establishment talking heads really. Definitely not post left or really any ideology other than attention

seinfeld was a good show. very funny that they literally had to put the main cast on trial for being horrible dickheads in the finale because that wasn't getting through to people somehow.

Eastern Europe Episode IV: A New Hope. I love President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. I understand and appreciate the precarious position the Ukrainians are navigating. I wish I could set up a 401(UA) fund from my paycheck to directly contribute my earnings to Ukraine's success.
