This particular war was lost when the 'rebellious' bought into the consumer convenience paradigm and tried to confront the consummerism with its own tools. Suckers. If ease of use, simplicity and minimizing the burn of brain cycles are indeed paramount and defining parameters, then we shall live in convenient and controlled world. The only 'better' way is accepting and agreeing to the inconvenient, complicated, unfriendly and hard to use. There is no middle ground. This is, above all, an ideological conflict. Within it, the 'rebellious' have been beaten into the ground and then sodomized for a good measure. The resistance appears limited to sphincter control. > Leaflets stapled to lamp-posts are far more resilient, regardless of > inclement weather; Unfortunately, the reach just isn't there. <...> # 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://mx.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: [email protected]
