A marxist anarchist atheist professor and feminist activist was teaching a class on Sébastien Faure, known syndicalist.
”Before the class begins, you must get on your knees and worship Faure and accept that Anarcho-Syndicalism is the most highly-evolved ideology the world has ever known, even greater than Social Conservatism!”
At this moment, a brave, conservative, Freikorps soldier who had disbanded over 1500 trade unions and understood the necessity of Realpolitik and fully supported all Mitteleuropa satellite states stood up and held up a map of Alsace-Lorraine.
"Who owns this land, frenchfag?"
The arrogant professor smirked quite jewishly and smugly replied “It's not not owned by anyone, fucking reactionary, its 'ownership' belongs to the communities that live on it and not any states.”
”Wrong. Its been 65 years since the German Reich annexed it. If it was not owned by any state, and Anarcho-Syndicalism, as you say, is real... then the workers there should have formed free labour unions by now."
The professor was visibly shaken, and dropped his chalk and copy of the CGT manifest. He stormed out of the room crying those ironic syndi tears. The same tears syndicalists cry for “the working class” (which today works so few that they barely have 60 work hours per week). There is no doubt that at this point our professor, Rudolf Rocker, wished he had been conservative and become more than a brainless political activist. He wished so much that he had could find, a state to fall back on but he himself had argued against it!
The students applauded and all registered Deutschkonservative Partei that day and accepted Wilhelm II as their Kaiser. An eagle named “Sedan” flew into the room and perched atop the Reichskriegsflagge and shed a tear on the chalk board. Heil dir im Siegeskranz was sung several times, and Bismarck himself showed up and converted all Catholics to Protestantism.
Gott mit uns!
An anrcho-syndicalist American analytic philosopher and linguistics professor was teaching a class on Bertrand Russell, known logician.
”Before the class begins, you must get on your knees and worship Russell as the most influential philosopher of the 20th century, even more influential than Jacques Derrida or any other continental philosopher!”
At this moment, a brave, psycho-analytic, Hegelian Marxist philosopher and cultural critic boldy stood up and tugged at his collar.
”My god, pure ideology! How can you ignore the work of Lacan and the Frankfurt School and so on and so on, like that? ”
The arrogant professor smirked quite Jewishly and smugly replied “Continental philosophy cloaks trvialities in fancy language and uses the scientific-sounding term 'theory' to describe propositions that could never be tested empirically. ”
”Wrong. If empricism is so important, as you would say, then how come you were so empirically wrong on the Khmer Rouge and Cambodia, and so on and so on?”
The professor was visibly shaken, and dropped his chalk and copy of Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus . He stormed out of the room crying those unironic empirically verified crocodile tears.
There is no doubt that at this point our professor, Noam Chomsky, wished he had pulled himself up by his bootstraps and become more than an outdated linguist and blindly analytic philosopher.
He wished so much that he had an argument to save himself from embarrassment, but he himself had advocated for truth derived from empirical investigation!
The students applauded and all dropped out to transfer into the École Normale Supérieure that day and accepted French philosophy as superior to both German Idealism and the Anglosphere's Analytic traditions.
An eagle named “Critical Theory” flew into the room and perched atop a burning American flag and shed a single tear on the dropped chalk. Sections of Lacan's Seminars were read several times, and the Spirit of Hegel himself showed up and demonstrated the nature of dialectics so vividly that everybody in the room progressed to a trans-physical state transcending conventional notions of time and space.
The professor lost his tenure and was fired the next day and was forced to become a panelist on an MSNBC news show to make ends meet.
The brave psycho-analytic philosopher's name? Slavoj Zizek.
Kraken

What is the Kraken?
Off the coast of Norway, at the bottom of the ocean, the giant Kraken slumbers. When he wakes to an empty stomach, he heads up towards the ocean’s surface, bringing mighty ripples with him. Any ship who spots these ripples must flee or face destruction.

Characteristics
Physical Description
The earliest descriptions of the Kraken don’t give away too much information. They dwell on the creature’s size, claiming that he is “the hugest monster in the sea.” He is so large that he can swallow ships and whales. So large that his body can be mistaken for land, his mouth for a sound, and his teeth for boulders. So large that his movement can create whirlpools.
Despite the lack of detail about his appearance, the Kraken’s size was enough to secure him a place in Nordic legend. Over time, his appearance was fleshed out, giving people a complete image of this monstrous being.
He has a flat body, which tends to emerge from the water in humps like small islands, and dozens of long, flexible arms (sometimes called horns), which he can lift out of the water to the height of a ship’s mast. Giant circular waves and swarms of frightened fish usually appear in front of him. Today, he is generally imagined as a giant octopus, a giant crab, or some combination of the two.

sonality
With his whirlpool-making and ship-swallowing abilities, the Kraken is certainly a dangerous beast—but, unlike other sea monsters, he isn’t particularly interested in hunting humans. Most of the sailors who have gone down in the Kraken’s belly simply didn’t get out of the way fast enough.
In fact, the Kraken is a rather lazy creature. It spends most of its time sleeping on the ocean floor. Even when it rises from the ocean floor to hunt, its strategies are passive.
Of course, there are a few stories of the Kraken attacking ships, usually because it was disturbed by their passage. In these cases, the Kraken can be ferocious and merciless, tearing the ship to splinters without any regard for human life.
Special Abilities
The Kraken may be lazy, but with his size, he couldn’t fail to be powerful.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about this beast is his unique hunting strategy. The Kraken feeds on fish—thousands and thousands of fish—but rather than swimming around the ocean, snapping up fish one by one, he has devised a way to make dinner come to him.
After the Kraken digests a round of fish—which can take up to three months—he recycles the waste, spewing out so much vomit or excrement that the water around him is “muddied and turbid.” It may sound disgusting, but,
“this muddiness is said to be very agreeable to the smell or taste of other fishes, [and] they gather together from all parts to it, and keep […] directly over the Kraken: He then opens his arms […] seizes and swallows his welcome guests, and converts them, […] by digestion, into a bait for other fish of the same kind.”
This hunting method is so effective that ancient Nordic fisherman sought out the Kraken, braving his wrath to get in on the bounty of fish who swarmed above him.
The Kraken has other skills too, although none of them are quite as practical as his hunting strategy. When he moves, he can create whirlpools that suck ships to a watery grave. He can also make vocal calls that cause underwater earthquakes.
Cultural Representation
Origin
The Kraken was first described in 1180 by no less than the king of Norway. As decades passed, the beast’s legend grew larger and larger, with heroes in some of Norway’s first epic tales, like the Orvar-Oddr, having close encounters with the monster.
By the mid-thirteenth century, naturalists had begun looking into the legend. The Konungs Skuggsja elaborated on its appearance and feeding habits. Even into the eighteenth century, prominent scientists like Carl Linnaeus included the Kraken in their classification of sea creatures.

Modern Appearances
At the turn of the eighteenth century, the Kraken began to be relegated to works of fiction. It found a place in poems by Alfred Tennyson and in Herman Melville’s Moby Dick, Jules Vernes’ Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, and HP Lovecraft’s Call of Cthulu.
Today, it remains one of fictions most popular sea monsters, appearing in movies like Pirates of the Caribbean, Clash of the Titans, and Game of Thrones.
Explanation
While science has discarded the idea of a mile-long monster lurking at the bottom of the ocean, it has discovered a sensational, Kraken-like creature: the giant squid.
The giant squid, which does live in the waters off the coast of Norway, might have been encountered by early sailors. Giant squids can grow up to forty-two feet, the length of seven or eight men. Like the Kraken, they are bottom-dwellers who feed mostly on fish—although sperm whales often bare scars from their toothy tentacles. They are also capable of spewing dark ink, similar to the “muddy” substance that the Kraken was said to use to attract fish.
krakenize that ass. sea monsters are real. what happened to leviathan?
i am politically vapid, but I don't agree with the left mostly. I think in the end it's a lot of superempowered individuals chasing the wind, and here we are cought up in the maelstrom.
