>Such is annual tradition, idiots on Twitter are posthumously laying into Mark Fisher again because of “Exiting the Vampire Castle” — a tradition that has garnered even more ferocity following Russell Brand’s bizarre trajectory over the last few years. Brand has recently embraced God, it appears, and this is apparently another perfect excuse for people to gloat about Fisher’s suicide. The internet will always prefer the simplest and cruelest narrative. On a few occasions this week, I have found myself despairing over how wilfully ignorant people choose to be.PMC: (choosing to be willfully ignorant of actual working class concerns)
>Fisher saw things differently. Over the course of his life, he was fascinated by people who, at one time or another (and by no means consistently), bridged the gap between the mainstream and the underground. From the Jam to Kanye West, Fisher wrote at length on the politicising potentials of “popular modernism”. Frustrated by what he saw as the admonishing of cultural potentials before they had borne political fruit, he wrote a furious essay that discussed one particularly controversial individual: Russell Brand.So brave to champion insipid petite bourgeois fascist sex pests!
>Fisher also discussed public attacks made on the journalist Owen Jones, for instance, often coming from figures within the Labour Party. What irritated Fisher most was the absence of any opposition to this derision from others on the left. Both Jones and Brand were dismissed as too precocious and idealistic – albeit in different ways – and their willingness to enter the public eye was also seen as fundamentally untrustworthy.Owen Jones is a pitiful fraud, he's a disgusting Zionist who deserves knee-jerk contempt from both left and right lol
>while his politics was broadly agreeable, he was nonetheless complicit in a broader capitalist machine. She addressed Brand’s blatant sexism, but on the whole Lennard was far more sceptical of moments when “radical or militant ideas or images enter the popular imaginary under capitalism”. This was the attitude that Fisher so vehemently disliked.If the bloodless liberals at Salon.com correctly identified me as a worthless idealist utopian socialist, I would also want to commit suicide lol
