Frantz Fanon, born on this day in 1925, was a West Indian Pan-Africanist philosopher and Algerian revolutionary most known for his text The Wretched of the Earth.

Fanon was born to an affluent family on the Caribbean island of Martinique, then a French colony which is still under French control today. As a teenager, he was taught by communist anti-colonial thinker Aimé Césaire (1913 - 2008).

Fanon was exposed to much European racism during World War II. After France fell to the Nazis in 1940, a Nazi government was set up in Martinique by French collaborators, whom he describedas taking off their masks and behaving like "authentic racists".

Fighting for the Allied forces, Fanon also observed European women liberated by black soldiers preferring to dance with fascist Italian prisoners rather than fraternize with their liberators.

While completing a residency in psychiatry in France completing, Fanon wrote and published his first book, "Black Skin, White Masks" (1952), an analysis of the negative psychological effects of colonial subjugation upon black people.

Following the outbreak of the Algerian revolution in November 1954, Fanon joined the Front de Libération Nationale, a nationalist Algerian party. Working at a French hospital in Algeria, Fanon became responsible for treating the psychological distress of the French troops who carried out torture to suppress anti-colonial resistance, as well as their Algerian victims.

While organizing for Algerian independence in Ghana, Fanon was diagnosed with leukemia that would ultimately kill him. He spent the last year of his life writing his most famous work, "The Wretched of the Earth" (French: Les Damnés de la Terre). The text provides a psychiatric analysis of the dehumanizing effects of colonization and examines the possibilities of anti-colonial liberation

Following a trip to the Soviet Union to treat his leukemia, Fanon came to the U.S. in 1961 for further treatment in a visit arranged by the CIA. Fanon died in Bethesda, Maryland on December 6th, 1961 under the name of "Ibrahim Fanon", a Libyan nom de guerre he had assumed in order to enter a hospital after being wounded during a mission for the Algerian National Liberation Front.

"In the World through which I travel, I am endlessly creating myself."

OK chapos I've got two good dogs here. They will receive pats upon request. Balls in your court shrug-outta-hecks

The brown one is pretty powered down for the night so I gave her some gentle strokes along the top of her head and neck. When I stopped she rose her head from a resting position to ask for more. So I gave her some good ear scritches and then some scritches on the top of her nose.

The white one was asleep but I gently said his name and he woke up and straightened his legs with his paws together to make his body into a triangle. I gave him ear scritches and he put his paw on his knee. I then told him he's a good boy, which is true.

I've partially changed my mind about AI: it is possible to make AI art, but you have to deliberately play into the hallucinatory unreality of AI art in order to do it. AI art can't be what the AI companies want it to be in order for it to be art.

i liked using it for shitposts because of the macabre and weird dreamy way it looked. now it's plastic and weird, i miss when it looked really fucking weird and not decent until you look at it harder. it had this feeling of putting a subconscious over a visualizer

it was a novelty to make communist reformed kanye west fight the entirety of anime or communist luigi shooting adolf hitler in world war 2 because he didn't stop at berlin and for me to make up a story through those dogshit images, now that it looks fine i can't do that

Good god, was playing Vic3 today and my computer suddenly died. Wouldn't boot, wouldn't POST, getting crpytic 00 error on mobo. Spent my entire sunday ruling out what was causing the issue. Turns out my Asrock mobo and 9800x3d cpu have a known issue, solved by a bios update. I did the update a long time ago, but apparently it did permanent damage while it was unfixed. Anyways, the CPU died and luckily BestBuy near me had one I could pick up. Got it replaced quickly and stuff is working again thank god.

Tomorrow gotta figure out how to RMA this CPU since its still under warranty. What a waste of a weekend.

I wish Rick Flair wasn't such a piece of shit, because every time I tell a mfk "We stand for active ideological struggle because it is the weapon for ensuring unity within the Party and the revolutionary organizations in the interest of our fight." inside I also feel like spitting water and WOOOOing.

Canned Heineken is as good as bottled Heineken is bad

[–] NeelixBiederman@hexbear.net 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Heineken mentioned

Brain: Link the song

Me: no brain, it's just a punk song from some obscure French band that mentions a well known brand, nobody cares.

Brain: Link it and I'll give you some upvote chemical

Me: fine

Does Dr Dre's Smoke Weed Every Day count as a prescription?

[–] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 3 points 6 days ago

Unfortunately it was Nate Dogg giving the prescription and AFAIK he's not certified

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Where i am places that need a 'script' just require you make up a name for a doctor. Dr. Jacoby from twin peaks prescribed it to me. For my anxiety. And treatment is clearly a shitload of weed. Any legit pharmacy has products like 'The Snowcone' which is a joint with weed and shatter in play that is dipped in oil and rolled in kief for $20. This is medication.

Started reading Red Plenty (2010) by Francis Spufford today. It's pretty good so far! It's a highly researched narrative about Soviet central planning, featuring real economists and politicians as characters, imagining a world where the Stalinist boom continued to improve life at the same rate, compounding on itself and creating a land of plenty.

The guy just seems like a normal yank academic so I'm waiting for thebrainworms but so far it's been genuinely respectful and earnest.
