the soft nazism of capitalism, shooting the
schulzes of our democratic age slowly in the head. the bullet takes years, even
decades, to enter, enough time for everyone to forget (if they ever remembered
or even knew) anything happened other than the schulzes were obviously idiots
and went mad and died too young through their own faults. this is capitalism’s
genius, inherited and transformed from the parents and grandparents it has
conveniently and necessarily disowned (christianity and judaism) – complete
absolution through the pure (that is, freed of flesh) indulgence system of
money
she wears her orgasms like a flashing neon
tiara
in the city aren’t we already buried in
humans? and then we have social media for … for what … so that we can watch
ourselves squirming in the grave?
the bain. operating at the middling frequencies
of television, frequencies force-subsidized by the entire seething captive
human lunacy
these associations – that community is
fraternity, god (or even love – is anything itself?) love, humans (or any
partial human group) superior, the future friendly, the family wholesome, growth
sustainable, … do they indicate much beyond humanity’s imbecility, all subject
to melville’s deconstruction of the false relation of whiteness and goodness in
moby-dick’s 42nd chapter?
society facebook in three-dimensions.
how we interact with the human world primarily a matter of our dimensionality
preferences. the social mystic – a creation possible only in the digital age –
a facebook junkie. those of us futilely and comically trying to cling to the
fragmenting mystic raft (the one made of books and voids) on the raging voracious
ocean of technology laugh, but as soares as he wanders the tattered pages of his
mind
sometimes facing up to the truth is just too
hard
when the facts are distressing it is easier
to reframe or ignore them
around
the world only a few have truly faced up to the facts about global warming ...
it's the same with our own deaths;
we all "accept" that we will die,
but it is only when our death is imminent
that we
(perhaps)
confront the true meaning of our mortality
the idea that we can shop our way to
sustainability
is no more ludicrous than shagging our way to
virginity
facebook. bacefook. basefuck. the major tech
companies (google, apple, microsoft, intel …) all with names so easily
vulgarized (but with the right mind, what
isn’t easily vulgarized?)
opisthokonts on bicycles on urban streets like
rabbits in the human world in watership down
urban darkness – which is hardly darkness –
settles in this northern city in late october, experiencing a warmth in the
past reserved for a month before. but this was all in the seed of the garden in
genesis, when domination and subjugation were lumbered onto the tracks of history, and humans wound the
limited clock on the face of their mythic supremacy, and stood in the
camaraderie of war to build the doomed tower to their fate
they killed me but like you i forgot to die
