Last Thursday around 10:30 AM, the Hannah Arendt Center shocked absolutely no one when it announced a political partnership with the #khive, the only fanbase of VP nominee Kamala Harris.
“Arendt strongly implied in The Origins of Totalitarianism that it would be wrong for a digital newsletter to publicly endorse a presidential candidate, and we ourselves at Amor Mundi do not want to alienate or silence any conservative faculty or students in doing so. That said, the HAC staff has found its tribe online among the Kamala Harris fanbase, and we would like to take this opportunity to declare Amor Mundi’s official position as a partner of the #khive. In the name of democracy, we have no choice but to stan.” The GIF-riddled statement went on to describe Harris’ greatest clapbacks and girlboss moments, all the while making it a point not to make a single concrete statement about the politics of Harris or anyone else. “In a flop era of rampant fake news and toxic disinformation, the United States and other developed nations have a moral obligation to slay,” the statement read before vowing to always put the Bernie Bros on blast. To investigate the reasoning behind the newsletter, the Bardvark scheduled a Zoom call with Roger Berkowitz.
“She is my mommy. And Elizabeth Warren is my aunt. And Joe Biden? Well, he’s my sweet sweet son,” said Berkowitz when asked about the statement. “They are boss bitches, just like me. It’s nice to finally see some representation in politics.” Megan Thee Stallion’s “Girls in the Hood” could be faintly heard in the background of the call. In the reflection of Berkowitz’ glasses was a heavily filtered montage of Harris shaking hands with Dick Cheney. For once in his life, Roger Berkowitz seemed to be at peace. “The #khive is coming,” he said, “And on behalf of the millions of Americans engaging in active citizenship this November, Amor Mundi aims to make it known that even within the political climate of a liberal democracy, your faves are BALD.”
