They'll stiff you after the first watered down vodka-coke or 330ml can if warm beer.

Rancid with a thin and artifical patina of aesthetic sweetness, like bottom shelf rice liquor someone tried to flavor with melted skittles

Same!

The parts that I find sus:

The HEC will be producing works of cultural commentary to reconcile opposing sides, ... while resisting their reflexive reduction to existing ideological oppositions. We also seek to create new forms of dialectical mediation between opposing viewpoints in Western society, and point the way to solutions that transcend reduction and polarization produced by the status quo.

What are these "opposing sides"? I hope it's a leftist talking about liberals, but I worry it's a liberal talking about the left & fasc

I'm afraid so. This is a bunch of cryptofash nonsense that is Red Scare/Dimes Square adjacent probably has Peter Thiel money behind it somehow

There’s a series of scenes from the show The Sopranos where the mob wives try to be sophisticated and “elevate” themselves beyond the status of dormant, spoiled wives of criminals.

They have brunch and movie clubs. But they always become bored, create echo chambers supporting each other’s nonsensical analyses, or they just end up with conversations about vanity.

I know she's mentioned Hegel and Marx before and definitely doesn't read as a reactionary to me, but all of her gnostic kabbalah Christian mysticism stuff is completely inscrutable to me. All her philosophical ramblings post-Aesthetica make the Transcendental Black Metal manifesto seem completely straightforward and completely devoid of pretense.

("Pretentious" isn't exactly the right word, she seems 100% genuine about whatever it is she's getting at, but you can definitely tell she's a Yale philosophy major with a masters that thinks her "arkwork" concept is like the idea behind Scriabin's "Mysterium" where the Wagnerian idea of gesamtkunstwerk creates some kind of religious revelatory mystical effect on its audience or something. There's a track on Renihilation that's a direct reference to Mysterium IIRC. Really interesting and deeply odd person. Also the great(?)granddaughter of a Poppy Bush affiliated Texan oil baron fortune.)

She's from a prominent bourgeoisie family, the Hunts helped create the professional sports industry in the US and originally made their fortune in oil. It tracks, unfortunately, in the way that this all reads as some bougie nonsense. I love the music too tho

I like how everybody was completely on board with this kid talking about Donald Trump completing the circle to contact the Anunnaki to descend from their space ships to raise Thule and Atlantis to reverse the sea levels rising, but freaked the fuck out as soon as they got a whiff that he might be a fascist.
