Evidence

Stupidity and cowardice are always the stupidity and cowardice of the other. … Power is always the power of the big other, that which speaks through you and of whom you speak. — Mark Fisher (edited by Darren Ambrose), K-Punk, 2352

Categorization

  • DEFINE: Defines power as the Lacanian big Other that speaks through the subject, turning an anecdote into a structural principle.
  • XREF: Resonates with the book’s running ‘class antagonism is the unrepresentable Real’ thread (ch33) and ch86 on the demonic/righteous. — connects to: Language is socially constructed and speaks through individuals
