Addendum #IRLScholarSaraAhmed "the Aryan Nations Web site, the role of emotions, in particular of hate and love, is crucial to the delineation of the bodies of individual subjects and the body of the nation. Here a subject (the white nationalist, the average white man, the white housewife, the white working man, the white citizen, and the white Christian farmer) is presented as endangered by imagined others whose proximity threatens not only to take something away from the subject (jobs, security, wealth), but to take the place of the subject. In other words, the presence of these others is imagined as a threat to the object of love. The narrative involves a rewriting of history, in which the labor of others (migrants, slaves) is concealed in a fantasy that it is the white subject who 'built this land.' The white subjects claim the place of hosts ('our shores') at the same time as they claim the position of the victim, as the ones who are damaged by an 'unmerciful government.' The narrative hence suggests that it is love for the nation that makes the white Aryans hate those whom they recognize as strangers, as the ones who are taking away the nation and the role of the Aryans in its history, as well as their future. We might note as well that the reading of others as hateful aligns the imagined subject with rights and the imagined nation with ground. This alignment is affected by the representation of both the rights of the subject and the grounds of the nation as already under threat. It is the emotional reading of hate that works to bind the imagined white subject and nation together. The average white man feels 'fear and loathing'; the white housewife, 'repulsion and anger'; the white workingman, 'curses'; the white Christian farmer, 'rage.' The passion of these negative attachments to others is redefined simultaneously as a positive attachment to the imagined subjects brought together through the repetition of the signifier, 'white.' It is the love of white, or those recognizable as white, that supposedly explains this shared 'communal' visceral response of hate. Together we hate, and this hate is what makes us together" (Sara Ahmed, 2004, pp.117-118). Ahmed, S. (2004). 'Affective Economies.' Social Text 22(2 (79)): 117-139. doi: [academic source] #OrgUSAryanNationsAN i.e. #AdvocacyUSSouthernPovertyLawCenterSPLC "Aryan Nations (AN) was once a powerful organizing force for white supremacists that cultivated a wide spectrum of racist and anti-Semitic ideas."

Supplementary #WebsiteInternetEncyclopediaOfPhilosophyAshleyWoodward "For Lyotard change is life affirming, whereas the stable structures that inhibit change are nihilistic and life denying. However, Lyotard does not simply assert libidinal intensity as an affirmative 'other' to nihilism. For Lyotard, there is no affirmative region, no pure outside to nihilism. Lyotard does not propose that we champion affects, singularities, intensities and libidinal energy over systems, structures, theory, concepts and representation. This is because the only way libidinal energies can exist is within structures. Lyotard does not advocate a simple liberation of desire and does not attempt to set up a place beyond representation which would be immune to the effects of nihilism. Lyotard presents us, rather, with a metaphysical system in which intensities and structures are both essential elements of the libidinal economy." [encyclopædia]

@SimoneAgoncillo [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [06]: @benshapiro I'll do her one better. Read Charles Murray's "Coming Apart". Empirical evidence of the problem is made quite clear in his treatise. We're being ruled by a small group of which Oprah is a proud member. #woke is NOT the same as awake. #openminded first, then educated always works. [URL redacted]
