Content

Dimitri and Khalid continue exploring the long strange trip of the word “parapolitics” into the 1990s.

Topics include: Jacques Rancière’s book “Disagreement: Politics and Philosophy”, calling out Aristotle for not actually doing a heckin’ democracy, policing the polis, the undergrad thesis that accurately nailed SJ’s bricoleur nature, inhabiting the space between, squaring Peter Dale Scott’s sus elite background with his valuable work on deep politics, Poetry and Terror in Scott’s “Coming To Jakarta”, doing free verse silk topper self-crit, being “a victim of excessive inheritance”, the 2009 academic essay collection “Government of the Shadows: Parapolitics and Criminal Sovereignty”, how “parapolitics” differs from “grand conspiracy theory”, and more.

The ruling class has to show performative respect to its subjects in order to keep a sort of balance ie You know how to ball I know Aristotle

id like to add one further imagined audience this podcast is for, the person who's just trying to get through their whole weightlifting routine in a timely way including travel time.

I value Dimitri's efforts to dumb down the philosophers for us

Going from Dave Mathew’s 9/11 song to live Joy Division is dirty work

Please never release shorter episodes. SJ is for long haul truckers and pow wow people who gotta crush a 6 hour drive every second day lol

It's as if Libs are fine with the horrors of a bourgeois state, and just trade in the grief of it all

Thank you for giving some attention to PDS and especially Government of the Shadows. It was Ola Tunander's contribution that led me to the work, but of course stayed for the PDS and other essays. This book is where I learned that there was a word for the "field" that held my interest; had no idea the term had such a history. I used to think, maybe still kinda do, that "PDS is automatically sus cuz he didn't get the Gary Webb Award." It's a too-crude take but I've wondered if PDS' work was allowed to proceed because he was something of a professional translator for a certain faction--and that maybe there was some sort of elite gentleman's agreement that he was to be left alone else some retaliation would follow. ...But this is just rank speculation on my part.

Please do not Trueanon-ize your podcast. I enjoy what you put out.
