Re: <nettime> Will Rational Exuberance Prevail? |
No doubt the thing to do is to relax, don't overly fret about the US election outcome, why bother to organize, do legwork, serve on dreary election committees, seek out and listen to those who you've never spoken to as an equal to learn from them what's eating their gizzards, to hear what they think of laid-back thinkers and indolent fingerpointers and supremacist whiners and ever so condescending shits, sure, best to herdishly blame those who do these get together and work hard to elect their own kind. It's smart to stay clear of the mess, that way there's no culpability, no risk, no need to give up prejudice about the consumerist luts, easy to lay low and work the previleged angles of those who really love the sweatless perks. That's the aristocratic way, argue the finer points of powedered wigs, the curve of calf, the vulgarity of the ingrate peasantry. # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: majordomo@bbs.thing.net and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@bbs.thing.net
