Re: <nettime> Wisconsin report |
Left, right, progressive, Tea Party, stooges? WTF? Are you idiots? OK, so that is a requirement of ideological conviction. And comforting chants and epithets, too. Now, you've blown your nose and sphincter, offer a bit of argument. OK, that's asking too much. Then a bit of humor about yourself and me and our shallow convictions. Sarcastic ridicule is swell inspiration. This all-too-serious gravitas, cliche alert, is destroying the funhouse of democracy. Pretend you are a really serious ideologue bristling with outrage at the other ideologues threatening sacred democracy, i.e, union perqs. Cluck cuckoo. Awaiting are a huge wad of infected sanctimonies begging lancing by wit, dim and lit. Bite the bait. # 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: http://mail.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: [email protected]
