Re: nettime dark days

Hi, Felix, why so negative? Of coure everything that you say in the first paragraph is true, but that can also be interpreted differently. Yes, it seems our governments are showing more and more their real faces, yes, there is a bourgeois authoritarianism, a term you yourself have used, and

Hi Mod squad, you are not serious, are you? Lets get 50 together!!! While the deficiences of nettime that you describe are real, it is still the only place where I can reach out to a nearly global crowd of critical thinkers, and it still has an impact which I can verfiy by the stats of my website
