@lastpositivist anyhoo i feel like this is a chunk of the tailspin these fellers are caught in, this confusion over whether they have or simply *ought* to have power, then the natural confusion over whether they should behave as though they have power (and what does that look like?) or not — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

@lastpositivist when people or groups do cop to having power, it's just that - a cop; they're admitting fault and usually coming up with a story about how they're going to disseminate or decrease their power. but we know that doesn't necessarily happen. what is a virtuous ruler now? nobody knows — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

@lastpositivist for my purposes this demonstrates one of the major breakdowns of postmodernity, i.e., zero story about what virtuous dominance looks like, just everybody trying to claim they're powerless and disenfranchised to avoid accepting the burdensome moral limitations of dominance — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

@lastpositivist if you peep the TL, it's a bunch of "white men created electricity and the internet and modern medicine" etc, sort of establishing this dominant position in history, then going to absolute fuckin pieces bc nobody is grateful enough. you gotta pick one dude! king or crybaby! — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

@lastpositivist also i guess really bothered by the unfairness inherent in the fact that when you are doing the colonizing and genociding and whatever, you do not simultaneously get to be the indigenous victims of said colonizing and genociding — PolitiTweet.org

@lastpositivist catastrophically triggered by the notion that christopher columbus is being dinged on twitter and that some have replaced his namesake holiday -- nothing but a sop to fold italian-americans into the new deal coalition -- with indigenous people's day — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

of all the formal salutations we could've gotten stuck with for letter writing, why 'dear'? we should've gone whole hog with like, "my most beloved ____" or "blesséd ____" — PolitiTweet.org
