No, instead we mean to “unleash negativity against
the coherence of any self-image, subjecting us to a moral
law that evacuates the subject so as to locate it through
and in that very act of evacuation, permitting the real­ization, thereby, of a freedom beyond the boundaries of any image or representation, a freedom that ultimately resides in nothing more than the capacity to advance into
emptiness.”

Rather we must realize that our task is infi­
nite, not because we have so much to build but because
we have an entire world to destroy. Our daily life is so
saturated and structured by capital that it is impossible to
imaginea life worth living, except one of revolt.

"The machinery of control has rendered our very existence
illegal. We’veendured the criminalization and crucifixion
of our bodies, our sex, our unruly genders. Raids, witch­
hunts, burnings at the stake. We’veoccupied the space of
deviants, of whores, of perverts, and abominations. This
culture has rendered us criminal, and of course, in turn,
weve committed our lives to crime. In the criminalization
of our pleasures, we’ve found the pleasure to be had in
crime! In being outlawed for who we are, we’ve discovered
that weare indeed fucking outlaws! Many blame queers for
the decline of this society—we take pride in this. Some
believe that we intend to shred-to-bits this civilization and
it’s moral fabric—they couldn’t be more accurate. We’re
often described as depraved, decadent and revolting —but
oh, they ain’t seen nothing yet."

"Put another way, we are not interested in a social project
of queerness, in queer contributions to society, in carv­
ing out our own ghettos within the material and symbolic
structures of capitalist life, Rather, our engagement with
queer theory must beattuned to locating the moments
which reveal the potential undoing of society, its struc­
tures and its relations. For Edelman, a theory of queer
negativity begins from an exploration of the fantastic posi­
tion of queers within society’s collectivei imaginary. His
methodology is to navigate the discourses and nightmares
of right-wing heteronormativity. Citing one fundamen­
talist pundit after another, he fleshes out the terror with
which the anti-queer establishment imagines the threat
of queerness. A thread persists through history into the
present which imagines queers as the destroyers of social cohesion, the ‘gravediggers of society,’ the repudiation of
the values of hard work and family, the persistent wave
which erodes the bedrock of the monetary and libidinal
economies, thieves, tricksters, hustlers, sinners, murder­
ers, deviants, and perverts. Queers are not just damned,
they are the proof of society’s fundamental damnation as
well. Sodomites, after all, are named for their symbolic
position as the sexual symbol of civilization’s decadence
and imminent annihilation."

#Nāgārjuna's #Madhyamaka #philosophy articulates #śūnyatā (#emptiness) and the two truths, dismantling the notion of intrinsic essence and affirming the interdependent, provisional nature of all phenomena. This insight avoids both #nihilism and #essentialism, shaping #Mahāyāna and #Zen thought. In this post, I summed up the key aspects of this profound teaching and its implications for #Buddhist practice:

i've made 70 copies to share of 'blessed is the flame', a piercing text on holocaust resistance and fighting back even in profoundly hopeless situations.

i had initially wanted to send one to someone in prison, but this text has been out of print for a bit and difficult to source from an official bookstore, so i decided to d.i.y. a bunch with free printing and a borrowed paper cutter and spiral binder. my color printer for the cover started fritzing halfway, so i got two tones out of them -- i call the green ones "limited edition"! the cover pages are printed on heavier cardstock. i am a total amateur, so a few of these copies have extra "personality" to them, but the text is all there and they work fine.

if you would like one, send me a direct message or email with a mailing address and color preference and i'll send one. shipping one domestically costs me ~$5, i can offer to cover single shipping costs for folks in the u.s., but would have to ask for money if shipping abroad. if you're in the portland, oregon area, please arrange for a drop off or pick up. if you run a distro or shop, i can send a box with several if you cover shipping.
