Name: 322 - Second Dark Age feat. Alan Moore (6/10/19) by Chapo Trap House
Duration: 1 h 8 min 59 s
Description: We're joined by legendary author Alan Moore to discuss evil architecture, magic & political power, fate & free will, and the enduring appeal of Lovecraft.

I'm fairly convinced that Alan Moore can conjure powerfuk magick with his voice as well as his pen.

Speaking as an agnostic, I find that view of religion to be specious and narrow. Art, architecture, music and social ritual - an holistic vision of religion would acknowledge those and more. Technocracy is your new god and it doesn't even incorporate philosophy, moral or otherwise.

this is literally dialectic of enlightenment 

Spittlefields ...poor Northern England !! 

People in comments don't understand metaphor. He doesn't literally mean magic. He grounds idealism in the material world with talking about the material implications of advertising. His spirituality isn't a replacement for reality it's just a piece of the pie just as theory is for praxis.

From Watchmen to Miracleman, this man only wanted to explore these fictional world and connect them to ours!

term libertarian comes from elysée reclus(who was french) but he was a proper anarchist, the term got reclaimed and instrumentalised by american right wingers during the XXth century
