    Summary

    Artemy Burakh is summoned home by his father, and Daniil Dankovsky’s heading to Gorkhonsk for Simon Kain’s funeral. So Artemy ends up stuck in a train car with his asshole, asshole, ex-boyfriend who dumped him for a fucking job. His jackass fucking ex-boyfriend who likes to point out that actually, Artemy dumped him, when Artemy had only been reading the writing on the fucking wall. The writing which, by the way, Daniil had pretended didn’t exist until a week before he left. The jerkass fucking ex-boyfriend who came back to Moscow within the year. Who said he’d been homesick. Who hadn’t called Artemy. Who’d let Artemy find out he was back just when Artemy was finally, finally, on a date with someone new, at the cafe he had liked before Daniil did, thank you very much, and which absolutely was not their place, no matter what Daniil had texted his date, which, by the way, totally proved that he was the one who couldn’t move on, not Artemy. Who never even visited Gorkhonsk when Artemy was his boyfriend for two whole years, but deigns to for fucking Grandpa Kain, who he doesn’t even fucking like. That ex-boyfriend.

    Summary

    "We are still in the same boat: no society knows how to mourn the real, power, the social itself, which is implicated in the same loss. And it is through an artificial revitalization of all this that we try to escape this fact. This situation will no doubt end up giving rise to socialism. Through an unforeseen turn of events and via an irony that is no longer that of history, it is from the death of the social that socialism will emerge, as it is from the death of God that religions emerge. A twisted advent, a perverse event, an unintelligible reversion to the logic of reason. As is the fact that power is in essence no longer present except to conceal that there is no more power." (Jean Baudrillard, Simulacra and Simulation)

    Thinking about Baudrillard and Fred Hampton. If you read through this, you are a strange person.
