"Todd is buddies with Zizek and comes from the same theoretical background, bringing Lacan and Hegel together (along with marx's critique of capital), but Todd is a much clearer writer."
"Face it, terms like Kulturkampf, Weltgeist/Volksgeist/Zeitgeist, Gesamtkunstwerk, etc. sound like they should be taken seriously, while English fake Twitter/Reddit words like Enshittification sound soy and gay."
"Found this amazing video series on the Phenomenology of Spirit by Greg Sadler at Marquette. I thought you guys might find this very interesting and helpful if you're trying to read PoS."

"Hegel was more right than Marx about world-historic facts and personages appearing twice, and this time, he'll actually have the power to just become a new establishment."

"rsp users are educated, generally literate in the humanities, and lean left despite themselves. compared to you all, i'm probably uncultured as shit. so no matter how contrarian you're being, you can't deny that a sub full of hegel-readers viewing retvrners as noble savages is just absurd."
