Part 3 may be one of the most horrible articles i've ever read. I figured he would get to Columus eventually, and when he did, it was in the traditional "The Indians don't exist or don't matter" version. People like Bloom rot your brain while pretending to be hip critics. It's all a marketing...

:1orglaugh yeah, one could see things in a new light by reading this guy, but that doesn't exclude him from the category of bullshit. there is so much garbage in what he says i don't even know where to start. Maybe it will suffice to point out that his categorization of ****** Nature as...

him and baudrillard have a lot in common. they were the two most thorough critics of the dominant discourse about 9-11, and they both are two of the more perceptive thinkers about the connections between the domination of people and nature by the system. baudrillard is now dead and churchill has...

i just meant that he questioned the whole set up of modern mass society as it displaced more traditional forms of community. the disenchantment of reality can be seen as relating to the entrenchment of the scientific worldview that has come to dominate industrialized society. a deeper connection...

the lumpen-proletariat, in marxist terminology. that's one of the things the black panthers were trying to do, form alliances with the potentially revolutionary lumpens. that obviously scarred the **** out of the white establishment and the rest is history as Ward Churchill documents in his book...

:1orglaugh thanks.

Pacifism as Pathology is a great book. I'd like to think that if people experienced the ******** more directly they'd resist more, but there are a lot of examples throughout history of people being passive even in the face of ********. I think we need to analyze the emotional and relational...

i didn't expect a great response, i expected a response. as indicated by my last post before this one, i didn't get one. and when i did get it from sputniky, i found it incredibly weak, creating no potential ground for discussion. i'm mildly disappointed as i've already said. don't worry, i'm...

i had six people on the first page alone whose basic sentiment was summed up by the comment "looks like one big long waste of a thread to me" or "look at me, i read two words." i respect those who deserve respect, like calpoon for example.

so we should just bow to the "iron laws of history" and accept the capitalist world system?

yes, terrorism results from globalization but more specifically because globalization is a very violent, penetrative process of incorporation of the whole world into an increasingly homogenized system. it's important to remember specific motivations behind terrorist actions, which are usually...

fine. at least you read it and gave some type of response. i think baudrillard is somewhat complicated because his perspective has changed over the years and he has written about so many different things that it helps to have read a lot of his stuff in order to be able to engage with anything in...

i'm sticking around just to crash your party. if you read my post clearly you would have seen i will continue to respond to nonsense as i am indulging a certain non-sesnsical side of myself right now. or if someone actually talks about the article, then i'll respond. other then that, i don't...

your attempts to match my critique and wit are pathetic.

:1orglaugh you and your popcorn.
