I couldn't subscribe to all of the the commitments and beliefs of British cultural theorist Mark Fisher, but his jargon free writing is full of insights deserving consideration by all those thinking of themselves as being on the left, even in the most attenuated sense of that term.
Although the section of this essay on Russell Brand has not aged well, the more general arguments about callout culture and neoanarchists are as pertinent as ever.
Thinking of Fisher's premature death in 2017 still occasions grief and a grim recognition of the damage wrought by austerity policies on the health care system.

Exiting the Vampire Castle
We need to learn, or re-learn, how to build comradeship and solidarity instead of doing capital’s work for it by condemning and abusing each other. This doesn’t mean, of course, that we must always agree – on the contrary, we must create conditions where disagreement can take place without fear of exclusion and excommunication.
Anyone in #MediaTheory fedi have experience with the writings of Nicholas Holm?
Curious, before diving into a recent publication of his, if he's turned up in any discourse before now that might inform my reading?

Apparently Horkheimer & Adorno time-travelled to Barnes and Nobel to pick up a copy of
@shoshanazuboff book then disliked it so much they wrote a new text back in 1972 to criticize it and warn people of its future publication. That's some serious commitment to #culturaltheory. #chatgpt #sociology #media #mediatheory #socialtheory #commodon
I'm happy to announce that my latest edited volume has recently been released by Brill. It's entitled Syed Hussein Alatas and Critical Social Theory: Decolonizing the Captive Mind. Syed Hussein Alatas is not well known in the West, but he was deeply influential on the work of Edward Said.
Thought I'd add some #theory hashtags in hope of connecting with others engaging with #CulturalTheory #PoliticalTheory #NonRepresentationalTheory (#NRT) or #philosophy of #geography.
I enjoy discussing #Foucault, #Benjamin, #Arendt, #Deleuze and #Guattari, #Ranciere, #Serres, as well as #feminist #NewMaterialisms, #CriticalRaceTheory, and #intersectionality.

New arrival from Twitter – will probably re-do this #introduction at some point but for now:
I’m into hearing about #ux and #uxdesign, #contentstrategy, #productmanagement and #frontenddev, while my work centres around #creativecampaigns at the moment. My background is in #culturalstudies, #culturaltheory, #philosophy and #sociology.
In my downtime, I’m into #TTRPGs, #D&D, playing #bass, #videogames and #gaming, #gigs, #punk, drinking #coffee, general #nerdshit and walking my #dogs.
