Performative Nonchalance and Apathy: A Reflection on Addiction, Ethos, and Power Struggles in Honor of Earth Day

  I recently  just read an article  from WRCBtv.com where a police officer, Sergeant Ker Yang states (in regards to Chauvin) that police officers were “trained to appear confident, stay calm and avoid staring or eye contact.” Simultaneously, we see the statement “he appears altogether unconcerned with the desperation and agony just below him” and that “this wasn’t the face of fear or concern or worry.” Yet, obviously, he had complete cau s e to worry — he repressed it.

“Pay Yourself ” Politics; The Edited Concession and Popularity Fraud in Social Media and Politics

CW: R*** When I was in college, I went on a date with an individual who said, “You know what would make a lot of money? If there were a company that found the look alike of any woman and then found a porn star who looked like her.” Basically, the entirety of this man’s existence was premised on seeing a woman, finding a porn that reminded him of her, and then watching it.  To this day, you would be surprised by the prevalence of this type of individual. Welcome to  “ pay yourself” politics, where, despite the “obstacles” people get what they want despite whether or not the person giving it even wants to. Sounds related to r***? That’s because it is. Here are several ways that people engage in “pay yourself” politics. Creating films that express the catharsis they so desire and then publicizing them as if they were fact Using deep technology not for its ability to help the population of the world, but to comfort one’s ego in numerous ways Creating fake accounts and fake movemen...
