    'Beating Trump: Barthes, Wrestling, & Myth Today'

    I have been re-reading Barthes recently on a number of topics and thought I'd share this video. I came across it looking up others on his work. He will confound and maybe enlighten.

    'Roland Barthes, born in 1915 and died in 1980, was a French literary theorist and philosopher famous for his understanding of how myths operated.'




    "Language is legislation, speech is its code. We do not see the power which is in speech because we forget that all speech is a classification, and that all classifications are oppressive." Roland Barthes

    Midcan, in spite of your bias, hatred of the right and other nauseating traits I still like you. I just don't understand why.

    One question Pinocchio. Why do you waste your obvious intelligence on the worthless causes of the left ?

    BTW, do you hate Hasidic Jews in the same selective hate tradition of most other liberals ?

    Interesting. The left certainly has its myths about Trump.
    When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.

    When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.

    And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.

    War is peace.

    Freedom is slavery.

    Ignorance is strength.
