Hauntology, Hacking, and Pidginization: discourse...
davidwpritchard:
Ian has asked me to write a bit to substantiate my oft-made statement that pidginization and tradition-hacking as he sees them are very similar to Derrida’s notion of hauntology.

my gender: a story
youarenotyou:
I was assigned female at birth and I’ve identified as female for all of my life. I defined myself that way at first because I didn’t know that there was an alternative.

Even though I was...

why do rich white men loathe the idea of workers...
and why does everyone listen to these lying, thieving fuckers as if they had any credibility whatsoever. If we look at the facts and not the bullshit these rich white men spout, we will see that every step that improves the lives of the poor, workers, women and non-whites - is OPPOSED by rich white men. The very same rich white men who pocket profits from unpaid labor, military spending, war,...
