Sour Grapes.

>>13090366
It's sour grapes all the way down, everyone envies the man who can both attract women and keep them satisfied. Coping by saying he is nothing more than a fleshpilled sexfiend is sour grapes.

A Fox one day spied a beautiful bunch of ripe grapes hanging from a vine trained along the branches of a tree. The grapes seemed ready to burst with juice, and the Fox's mouth watered as he gazed longingly at them.

The bunch hung from a high branch, and the Fox had to jump for it. The first time he jumped he missed it by a long way. So he walked off a short distance and took a running leap at it, only to fall short once more. Again and again he tried, but in vain.

Now he sat down and looked at the grapes in disgust.

"What a fool I am," he said. "Here I am wearing myself out to get a bunch of sour grapes that are not worth gaping for."

And off he walked very, very scornfully.

There are many who pretend to despise and belittle that which is beyond their reach.

>The Theory of Bloom is a foundational text in Tiqqun's works, and everything else they wrote either contains explicit references to it or works off its content. In summary (that does the work very little justice, but I'll try my best), Theory of Bloom (henceforth referred to as ToB) describes the absolute, metaphysical alienation that has come to be the most definitive (and yet subtle) features of modernity. This fundamental tonality of being, this Stimmung, is at once a condition shared by all and the most private, individual truth. It's the result of the collapse of identity and subjectivity and Capital's cybernetic response to that collapse. Thus, in one way or another, we have all become Blooms (because we live in Bloom), but you can catch glimpses of its deepest, most explicit manifestations (for Bloom is always timid and prone to hiding) in things like spree shootings, suicides, this fucking website, or in certain forms of music.

>Book quotes that I think explain the general outline more concisely than I have:
"All around us a petrified world spreads forth, a world of things where we ourselves figure with our egos, our gestures, and even our feelings as things themselves...we are...the exile who's never completely sure of what's going on around him"

>"A reasonable mind concluded one day: 'actually, Bloom is alienated man'. Not so. Bloom is the man so thoroughly conjoined with his alienation that it's absurd to try and distinguish between the two."
