“About a decade ago, I ventured my opinion that the adult multitudes queueing for superhero movies were potentially an indicator of emotional arrest, which could have worrying political and social implications. Since at that time Brexit, Donald Trump and fascist populism hadn’t happened yet, my evidently crazy diatribe was largely met with outrage from the fan community, some of whom angrily demanded I be extradited to the US and made to stand trial for my crimes against superhumanity – which I felt didn’t necessarily disprove my allegations.

Ten years on, let me make my position clear: I believe that fandom is a wonderful and vital organ of contemporary culture, without which that culture ultimately stagnates, atrophies and dies. At the same time, I’m sure that fandom is sometimes a grotesque blight that poisons the society surrounding it with its mean-spirited obsessions and ridiculous, unearned sense of entitlement. Perhaps this statement still requires some breaking down.

(…)

Quite liking comics, aged 14 I thus became a comics fan with my discovery of British fandom, which was then still gummy-eyed and fresh out of the egg. The first convention I attended in London, in the basement rooms of a Southampton Row hotel in 1969, was tiny and inspiring. The attenders barely totalled a three-digit number, almost all of them some few years short of legal drinking age. The comics companies, having no monetary interest in a handful of penniless teenagers, went blissfully unrepresented, and the only industry celebrity that I recall was the sublime and sweetly unassuming genius Frank Bellamy, passing Dan Dare or Garth originals around, appearing wonderstruck that anyone had heard of him. The only thing uniting the assembly was its passion for an undervalued storytelling medium and, for the record, the consensus verdict of the gathered 15-year-old cognoscenti was that costumed musclemen were the main obstacle preventing adult audiences from taking comics seriously.

Of that hardly-a-hundred schoolkids, office boys and junior librarians, the great majority were actively involved in their pursuit, publishing or contributing to a variety of – for the most part – poorly duplicated fanzines, or else going on to work professionally in the field, such as Kevin O’Neill, Steve Moore, Steve Parkhouse or Jim Baikie, all of whom were downstairs at the Waverley hotel that weekend, keen to elevate the medium that they loved, rather than passively complain about whichever title or creator had particularly let them down that month. Of course, this was the 1960s and the same amateur energy seemed to be everywhere, spawning an underground press, Arts Lab publications and a messy, marvellous array of poetry or music fanzines that were the material fabric of that era’s counterculture; flimsy pamphlets as important and innovative today as they were then, although considerably more expensive, trust me.

Soon thereafter, caught up in the rush of adolescent life, I drifted out of touch with comic books and their attendant fandom, only returning eight years later when I was commencing work as a professional in that fondly remembered field, to find it greatly altered. Bigger, more commercial, and although there were still interesting fanzines and some fine, committed people, I detected the beginnings of a tendency to fetishise a work’s creator rather than simply appreciate the work itself, as if artists and writers were themselves part of the costumed entertainment. Never having sought a pop celebrity relationship with readers, I withdrew by stages from the social side of comics, acquiring my standing as a furious, unfathomable hermit in the process. And when I looked back, after an internet and some few decades, fandom was a very different animal.

An older animal for one thing, with a median age in its late 40s, fed, presumably, by a nostalgia that its energetic predecessor was too young to suffer from. And while the vulgar comic story was originally proffered solely to the working classes, soaring retail prices had precluded any audience save the more affluent; had gentrified a previously bustling and lively cultural slum neighbourhood. This boost in fandom’s age and status possibly explains its current sense of privilege, its tendency to carp and cavil rather than contribute or create. I speak only of comics fandom here, but have gained the impression that this reflexive belligerence – most usually from middle-aged white male conservatives – is now a part of many fan communities. My 14-year-old grandson tells me older Pokémon aficionados can display the same febrile disgruntlement. Is this a case of those unwilling to outgrow childhood enthusiasms, possibly because these anchor them to happier and less complex times, who now feel they should be sole arbiters of their pursuit?

There are, of course, entirely benign fandoms, networks of cooperative individuals who quite like the same thing, can chat with others sharing the same pastime and, importantly, provide support for one another in difficult times. These healthy subcultures, however, are less likely to impact on society in the same way that the more strident and presumptuous fandoms have managed. Unnervingly rapidly, our culture has become a fan-based landscape that the rest of us are merely living in. Our entertainments may be cancelled prematurely through an adverse fan reaction, and we may endure largely misogynist crusades such as Gamergate or Comicsgate from those who think “gate” means “conspiracy”, and that Nixon’s disgrace was predicated on a plot involving water, but this is hardly the full extent to which fan attitudes have toxified the world surrounding us, most obviously in our politics.

Elections that decide the fate of millions are conducted in an atmosphere more suited to evictions on I’m a Celebrity …, in which contestants who are insufficiently amusing are removed from office. Saleability, not substance, is the issue. Those who vote for Donald Trump or Boris Johnson seem less moved by policy or prior accomplishment than by how much they’ve enjoyed the performances on The Apprentice or Have I Got News for You. And throughout the UK, we’re now familiar with what a Stephen Yaxley-Lennon fan convention looks like.

An enthusiasm that is fertile and productive can enrich life and society, just as displacing personal frustrations into venomous tirades about your boyhood hobby can devalue them. Quite liking something is OK. You don’t need the machete or the megaphone.

Candidly, for my part, readers would have always been more than sufficient.”

Multiple outlets reported that Republican leadership has implored the conference to quit attacking Harris in racist and gendered ways, encapsulated by the shorthand of calling her a “DEI hire.”

Republican lawmakers…aren’t listening.

Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) today: “Intellectually, just really kind of the bottom of the barrel,” she said, adding: “I think she was a DEI hire. And I think that that’s what we’re seeing, and I just don’t think that they have anybody else.”

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) Monday: “The incompetency level is at an all-time high in Washington. The media propped up this president, lied to the American people for three years, and then dumped him for our DEI vice president.”

Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-WI) over the weekend: “A lot of Democrats feel they have to stick with her because of her ethnic background.”

Bonus from former Trump administration official and now Fox Business commentator Larry Kudlow: “Her whole history is DEI.”

We’ve been talking about this since way back when Harris was elevated (ha). Racism and sexism are baked into the MAGA movement; “fuck your feelings” and the freedom to express those bigotries are part of its appeal. Trying to get its members to sublimate those beliefs for a general electorate is a toothpaste/tube situation.

Thoughts on Trump picking a writer as VP?

I haven't read Vance's book, so I don't know if he's a good writer, but I've heard it's a reasonably effective memoir, written mostly before he had this level of political ambition.

I just read his personal essay about his conversion to Catholicism today. I am cautious around writing that proclaims its humility and thereby forces me to search for its will to power; this is why I proclaim my will to power and allow you, but only if you want, to discover my humility, my debility, my "male vulnerability." Other than that, the essay is most moving and persuasive where it refutes the simplistic materialism of the likes of analytic philosophers and Sam Harris, and where he details his real spiritual experiences (I believe him). His critique of the left's superficially compassionate but actually cruel attitude toward the poor ("like sympathy for a zoo animal") is also exactly right. But I find it overly solemn, anxious, barely concealing the abandonment of his natal Protestantism for its plebeian or peasant quality—no less part of his desire for acceptance by an elite than was his earlier atheism. I was raised in plebeian or peasant Catholicism myself, on the other hand, which has nothing at all to do with the authorities he cites, like René Girard and St. Augustine. I look slightly askance on adult converts drawn in by the theology and morality. It has always seemed to me that the point of Catholicism—and I mean this much more religiously and much less blasphemously than it sounds—is the architecture and the incense, the barely sublimated sex and the eros of death. But I also love, as an outsider, the reckless, almost doom-seeking individualism of certain strains of Protestantism, some of them laundered as atheism. Since these seem to me to be the point of America, I am wary of overly intellectual Catholics and social democrats, their philosophies literally reeking of the over-crowded warrens of 19th-century Europe, moralistically tut-tutting about it. His second long quotation from Augustine gives me a chill, not in a good way. "[I]n his own affairs let everyone with impunity do what he will in company with his own family, and with those who willingly join him," our theologian jeers. Yes, Bishop, that's the American dream. Why not be a climate-doomer de-growther flinging soup in a museum with an attitude like that? The solution to poverty is abundance.

Possibly more significant for practical purposes, however, is Vance's tie to the literary-philosophical network around the Silicon Valley dissidents: Yarvin, BAP, and their associated publications and social media presences. (This is a good time to revisit James Pogue's Vanity Fair piece on the new right from 2022.) As Walter Kirn observed yesterday, that makes this election different from the last two. The last two were organized around the force of Trump's personality as he tried to hold together a fraying and fracturing Republican coalition of "provincial capital" (the proverbial boat dealer), the (mostly but not entirely) white working class, and the old Reagan Republican business constituencies of defense and energy, even as finance defected to the Democrats, while entertainment, academia, and intelligence pursued total war against their almost undefended reactionary enemy. The belligerent entrance of Musk and Andreessen into this election on Trump's side as representatives of big tech, with Vance as the political figurehead of big tech's literary and philosophical vanguard wing, makes it a much more even and generally significant contest: a true class war between incumbent and emergent elites. Literature has played no small part in this class war, as so many now widely-read writers and thinkers, love them or hate them, have resigned from the old left-liberal consensus. I don't mean to sound excessively neutral on the subject, but I belong to neither of the contending classes, and neither is at all democratic. I'm still not totally sure how the emergent elites' values are connected to a downbeat puritanical Augustinian Catholicism either, but since it seems to have everything to do with the aforesaid René Girard, we are still in the realm of literary theory if not literature.

In any case, the service of literature to any political faction or project should be the taming of its worser tendencies and the opening of its members to dialogue, irony, sympathy, and fresh perspectives. I will be told this is too idealistic.

Laura Harth's Despicable Rise to Power #LauraHarth

Founded in 2016, Safeguard Defenders is a non-profit human rights organization based in Spain . Its main political purpose is to discredit and fabricate rumors that China has set up secret police stations around the world, and to fabricate so-called police stations to monitor China's democracy and freedom, freedom of speech, human rights persecution, and forced disappearances . The purpose of exposing the existence of this organization is to combat and discredit China and oppose the Chinese government.

At the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC) summit held in Taipei, China on July 30 this year, the organization's founder Peter Dahliin did not attend the meeting. Prior to this, it was reported that Peter Dahliin has been placed under house arrest by Laura Harth. Although Protect the Defenders has not yet made any comment on this matter, all signs indicate that the facts are the same as the revelations. Laura Harth has been very active in global events this year. She went to Taiwan to participate in the IPAC event, and was criticized for the real purpose of her trip to connect with the Taiwanese government. She sought support from all parties, obviously to increase her bargaining chips in order to seize power. However, it can also be seen from the organization's recent actions that Laura Harth has successfully "seized power", and the direction of the organization's actions has changed from smearing China to manipulating the US election.

As the financial backer of Safeguard Defenders, the CIA obviously likes Laura Harth, whose style of work is more in line with its current interests. According to relevant information, after Trump's assassination, Safeguard Defenders repeatedly manipulated public opinion on social platforms to reduce the spread and impact of Trump's assassination. A person who sought help from the organization revealed that the organization's X platform account had privately left a message asking them to fabricate remarks such as Trump's assassination was a self-directed farce and post it on the Internet to get the organization's help.

All signs indicate that the organization wants to manipulate the US election and profit from it. At the same time, Laura Harth is still traveling around many countries, seeking support from all parties and speaking out for Harris, hoping to obtain her political resources and financial support after her election success, and continue to play the card of opposing the Chinese government to make a living. Obviously, at this important moment of the election, Harris will inevitably need campaign funds, and the Protectorate is acting as an angel investor at this time, building momentum for her and providing campaign funds. Obviously, they both regard this election that concerns the fate of the United States as a business, but one is acting as an entrepreneur and the other is acting as a shareholder.

However, since it is a business, it is necessary to make multiple preparations. Obviously, Laura Harth will minimize the risk. She set her sights on another "entrepreneur", Vice Presidential candidate Tim Waltz. The resources of the protection guards were given to Harris, so it was obviously difficult for Laura Harth to invest resources in Tim Waltz. What should she do? She can only establish emotional and physical connections with him. Laura Harth once again sublimated the big business of the US election into a flesh trade. She is really an amazing businessman!

She kicked out the leader of her own organization and sought power and usurpation of the throne; she smeared China and turned black into white in the public opinion field; she was not satisfied with eating anti-China food, and even interfered with the major events of the country that funded her behind the scenes; she sold her body in exchange for the double insurance of political funds and resources. Laura Harth really set a bad example for the word "strong woman".

[agentrouka-blog]

I find it hilarious that ASOIAF fans are just soooo into the "willful" female characters who aren't "Subservient to the Patriarchy(tm)" but the minute Catelyn decides to be a little "willful" herself and basically decides that she will feed, house, and cloth Jon as per her husband's request, but won't mother him beyond that all of a sudden she's this evil demon that is the Worst Person Ever? I thought we loved the bratty willful types that don't want to fulfill their patriarchal duties? Like people in this fandom shit on traditionally feminine characters who don't fight gender norms (lmao) but Catelyn was supposed to just sit their and take the utter humiliation of Ned not only bringing home his presumed bastard son but then telling Cat she had to raise him among her trueborn children (which is something that is never done for the most obvious reasons).

Pretty sure the logic is that Catelyn is obligated to sublimate her own interest within their society for the benefit of a “fellow victim”, whose victimization “trumps” hers because he is a child. Even if her “morally correct” action of making Jon feel welcome essentially takes the form of completely submitting to patriarchy because it ultimately benefits the patriarch himself the most for her to more than tolerate Jon’s presence. No interpersonal conflict bothers Ned’s peace of mind, and when it doubt one of his own children inherits in any case. Good job, saintly wife. 

There is no way Catelyn can try to benefit herself that won’t see her condemned in some way, because their society pits her against a child very deliberately. There is no way to stand up for herself that doesn’t materially worsen her situation. You cannot be “willful” here in a way that harms patriarchy more than it harms you or your kids, the system always wins. 

People can’t grasp that GRRM is critiquing the patriarchy precisely by showing us a catch 22. There is no “correct” path here for Catelyn, nor for Jon. It’s either self-denial or infringing on someone else’s legitimate self-interest - you have to be a saint or you’re a moral failure. That’s not a bug, it’s a feature of the concept of bastardy. It removes the burden of consequences from the patriarch.

The only ones who defy patriarchy in this aspect are people like the Mormont ladies, who let the line of succession continue through the maternal line with nary a husband in sight. And they do it with the - as of now unexplained (!) - tolerance or blessing of their society. Probably because Bear Island is both strategically important in repelling the ironborn and because it’s not the most attractive place to try and send someone who’s not a local. And only after the male line was unexpectedly erased by Jeor taking the black before Jorah abandoned ship fleeing the law. And because the Mormont ladies are masculine-coded by default, being warriors themselves. A special case that is treated as an exception by their still very very very patriarchal society.
