Remember when Kpop fans epically came through for the movement on multiple occasions at the intersection of technology art and politics? Culture and the aesthetic are always and in different ways constitutive of the material world

Like living in the shadow of white supremacy and imperialism makes you cherish your culture’s food. Food is representative of community, nourishment, vitality. So yea it’s upsetting that Goya is publicly praising a white supremacist president

The fact that a portion of the left is actively advancing a zero sum antagonism between symbolic-relational structures with policy/material objectives is astoundingly bad politics

Viewing the symbolic as an aberration to the “material” is reactionary & boring. No surprise that those unwilling & incapable of understanding human existence on heterogeneous, fluid and contingent terms are at the fore of downplaying racism, transphobia, and red-brown alliances
