What do you think /our guy/’s take on “Jan. 6” is?

Byung-chul Han has a similar stile and topic in my opinion.

Can we discuss this book? Specifically on the topic of self-alienation and absolute slavery. The last thread had some potentially good discussion but was deleted for some reason.

“The acceleration of contemporary life also plays a role in this lack of being. The society of laboring and achievement is not a free society. It generates new constraints. Ultimately, the dialectic of master and slave does not yield a society where everyone is free and capable of leisure, too. Rather, it leads to a society of work in which the master himself has become a laboring slave. In this society of compulsion, everyone carries a work camp inside. This labor camp is defined by the fact that one is simultaneously prisoner and guard, victim and perpetrator. One exploits oneself. It means that exploitation is possible even without domination.”

>social networks are... LE BAD!

Neoliberalism forms a free entrepreneur out of the oppressed worker, an entrepreneur of himself. Everyone is a self-exploited worker of his own enterprise. Everyone is master and servant in one person. The class struggle is also changed into an inner struggle with oneself. Whoever falls today accuses him/herself and is ashamed. One problematicizes oneself instead of society.
