the collapse of the Soviet Union and the subsequent disintegration of its various health and social programs is one of the greatest travesties of modern history. it is very cool to live in a part of the world that treats this human tragedy as a great victory

always avoided Han because i read an excerpt of Psychopolitics that just felt like a much worse Deleuze + Guattari rip off. decided i would start here and i’m wondering if Han understands how loaded the term “acceleration” is in the anglo-philosophy sphere
