Zadie Smith weighing in as the extreme moderate she has always been. Mealy-mouthed and self-satisfied analysis on offer here, more insightful re the psyche of the moderate than any of the topics this essay wants to be about.
In a new essay, Zadie Smith writes about the destructive role of language in the campus protests over the war in Gaza.

Dreamt that the tyrant died and all the flowering trees in the US bloomed spontaneously, in October. All news and social media focused not on the tyrant or his death but on this miraculous blooming.

I was on a hike when a friend texted to share the news that Fred Jameson had died. Although Marxism and Form will remain my favorite book of his, everything I ever read by him stuck with me. Here’s a little cairn I made in his honor on this hike in Maine.

"they are no better than Arabs"--not a slip of the tongue but racist discourse that comes easily to this blathering pop philosopher. He would be a parody if he were not so offensive and banal all at once.
💪 Putin, a dark conservative religious fanatic, must be stopped ASAP, and the West should even provide Ukraine with nuclear weapons if necessary, believes Slovenian leftist philosopher Slavoj Žižek.

He has been called out, esp when he reads "third world texts" reductively. But when he sticks to what he is good at his thinking is capacious enough for the rest of us to extend it in our own ways. I've found his work incredibly productive and still read him regularly.

This is the strangest thing to come out of Trumplandia. Its remixes couldn’t possibly outdo the original: the possessed speaker, the empty laundry baskets, the bro wandering in the background, the angels that had apparently decamped to Africa and S. America.
Presidential spiritual adviser Paula White is currently leading an impassioned prayer service in an effort to secure Trump's reelection.

Nope.
Now is the time for every Biden supporter to reach out to one person who voted for Trump.
Empathize with them.
Tell them you know how they feel (you do, from 2016).
Come up with one issue you can agree on.

I’ve been amazed at how post-critical types are so interested in cultivating their aggrieved and wounded selves as a condition for claiming an ideal of hand-holding, feeling-recognition, and community building as an ideal for newfound aesthetic freedom. I mean, go for it folks.

IMHO the best “quarantine” movie for our times is Pasolini’s Salo. It doesn’t shy away from making connections between the cultivation of self, the embrace of fascism, and desire for collapse. Plus the rich get to eat shit.
