Like the No Kings protests in Chicago in the fall, the atmosphere outside the Broadview, IL ICE facility this morning is thus far calm, even carnivalesque.

its a collective carnivalesque, and a counterpart to the festival atmosphere of magaworld
i have a previously stated opinion but more seriously, i consider the very public reaction to the plausible rumor to be a pretty effective form of protest that serves the same purpose of, for example, demonstrating progress towards majority

The greatest secret of literary studies is that 80% of “World’s Classics” are near hallucinatory carnivalesque romps written by the weirdest dude of an entire period of history
Occasional reminder that James Hogg wrote an absolute banger of a novel with the unforgettable title, “The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner: Written by Himself: With a detail of curious traditionary facts and other evidence by the editor”

carnivalesque ritual abuse is unfortunately a leftist past time
the amount of hate and the rapidly metastasizing lies are insane, people calling me a fed, a rapist, a snitch. it’s like orgiastic, because they felt like they had to be nice for a week and now it’s snapping back twice as hard

It’s the same carnivalesque, destructive anti-government energy and ideology that drove the Tea Party, only this time its face isn’t Joe and Jane white tax payer, it’s a white nationalist gazillionaire. No need for even the pretense of astroturfing.

this was vastly worse on Twitter than it was here. Twitter in Trump I was a really dark place, a carnivalesque of the grotesque. But some of it does carry over to Bsky.

The pro wrestling aspects of Trumpism have been well-developed. But while pro wrestling is only ever scripted, Trumpism always threatens to escape the barriers of the staged.
That's why for me, Bakhtin's "carnivalesque" is the dominant paradigm, not just of Trumpism but of our political moment.

Even more people are here in Chicago's Union Park. Thousands, easily, and nearly as many banners, flags and signs.
Labor, political, community and immigrant advocacy groups spread out as far as I can see. Vendors and food carts too - atmosphere is very carnivalesque. Police keeping to the edges.

4. Horror movies need to get silly with it more often. Theatrical. Carnivalesque, even.

Halloween night is truly carnivalesque. All the values are inverted. People in the US give things away, walk from place to place, and interact with their neighbors.

you can literally walk through downtown and find empty plazas that could be programmed with art, greenery, and (gasp) seating. Minor moves can result in huge cultural changes. This is all just AI-generated carnivalesque that screams unseriousness.

personally I don't think you should stretch this much to imply that a random trans woman is calling for the genocide of all Israelis, like this is clearly not what she's saying, you are just itching to join in a carnivalesque dog-pile of a trans woman
