2021-08-14 14:16:41 We strongly recommend reading this, as yet another Incel mass killer is in the news:

“The incel—the pathological incel—is mysteriously drawn to repeat the trauma of his own suffering. The incel is drawn back to the scene of what we will call The Thing. The Thing is the object of the incel’s desire. The Thing involves the physical act of sex and it involves what we would call “love”—but it cannot be reduced to either. The Thing is beyond signification, but it is Real. It is empty, but it is filled by the incel subject’s fantasy. The Thing is something that, if the incel were to have, would make him cease to be an incel. For the pathological incel, The Thing contains a traumatic reminder of his own misery. The Thing taunts the incel by showing him what he does not have, and it suggests (wrongly) that others have The Thing that he does not. The Thing is presented as good, but the idea of The Thing being accessed is experienced as suffering and evil. The excessive goodness of accessing The Thing in its immediacy is intolerable, impossible. The Thing is the object of the incel’s intense desire and it also brings him face-to-face with the horrific truth of himself. The Thing, in its deepest core, also promises to contain the most sinister riddle: the code to what exactly it is that women desire.”

2021-07-18 10:19:24 “Former detainee Kazem Kazemi was released from detention on March 2 this year.

He fled Iran as a refugee and spent five and a half years on Manus Island before being medevaced to Australia where he spent nearly two years at the Kangaroo Point Central Apartments and the BITA centre.

Kaz Kazemi is an Iranian refugee and musician who spent more than five years in detention on Manus Island.

Mr Kazemi said he found it difficult to talk to men who were still being detained because he felt guilty for having freedom while they do not.

"We are here protesting for our friends in detention across Australia and in offshore centre," Mr Kazemi said.

"I am really sad, I am really not happy about that because I see my friends still locked up in detention for no reason. They have not committed any crime.

"I hope the government will release them very soon and let them recover after a long time."
