Maybe: "Plan to vote? What's the rest of your plan?"

The 'nothing ever happens' people have been quieter recently for sure

I like this essay a lot. The map 401'd on me so the lines are on a tiling of error barcodes which really adds to it lol. I'll check out the book too. :)

Lmao perfect, time to move into my crank era.

Nice, I'll read that too.

I haven't, but I've just added it to my list. It sounds good from the description. :)

The footnote for this one has this quote too:

Together, the three elements that I just described create a kind of narcissistic orgasm of defeat and purity. The subject takes pride in not having any relationship with the entire historic concrete movement of the working class socialist and liberation revolutions. They take pride in not having any theoretical or political connection to the revolutions in China, Russia, Korea, Vietnam, Algeria, Mozambique and Angola. They are, instead, proud of the supposed purity that their theory is not contaminated by the hardship of exercising power, by the contradictions of historical processes. Being pure is what provokes this narcissistic orgasm. This purity is what makes them feel superior.

basically what's said already in this thread, but the podcast covered this lol
