Great discussion of Possessor and Crimes of the Future, must say I wasn't too impressed by the later when it first came out, thinking it just a sad parody of bourgie performance art without much to say beyond "aren't pretentious people pretentious?". Kristen Stewart was pretty magnificent though - she really needs to do more weird and edgy roles.
Fascinating discussion, thanks! Does rationalism (in thought?) imply or lead to fascism? As touched upon in the discussion? I think this should be one of the biggest questions for the Left. Does it mean we should ask ourselves, why are we not deploying game theory in our strategies? The situation is now so bad I believe a tactical retreat is in order. People should move into communes, until there is at least 1 in 5 of us there. 1 in 5 of people as a whole. That means that when capitalism collapses there are people carrying the torch for anticapitalism, social justice, memory, and the like. And they can actually defend the land. That's my two cents of pessimism of the intellect.
