Total Karenism and Karenist Propaganda Methods. Karenists utilize all of the technical means at their disposal - the press, radio, TV, movies, posters, graffiti, stickers, mail-art, networking, music, Internet, video, DVD, computers, painting, sculpture, poetry, novels, collage, montage, etc. There is no Karenism as long as one makes use, in sporadic fashion and at random, of a manifesto here, a poster or a radio program there, organizes a few apartment festivals and network meetings, writes a few slogans on the walls; that is not enough. Each usable medium has its own particular way of limited use. A video does not play on the same motives, does not produce the same feelings, does not provoke the same reactions as a poster. The very fact that the effectiveness of each medium is limited to one particular area clearly shows the necessity of complementing it with other media. A word spoken on the radio is not the same, does not produce the same effect, does not have the same impact as the identical word spoken in private conversation at an apartment festival or in a public speech before a large crowd at a stadium. To draw the individual into net of Karenism, each technique must be utilized in its own specific way, directed toward producing the effect it can best produce, and fuse with all the other media, each of them reaching the individual in a specific fashion and making her react anew to the same theme - in the same direction, but differently.
We are here in this world in the presence of an self organizing reality that already controls the formation of the entire universe. We merely are creating a mythic version of it to facilitate our ability to communicate to each other about it and help to shape our expression of it. Through the myth it creates, Karenism imposes a complete range of intuitive knowledge. Intuitive knowledge - being ambiguous – is susceptible to multi-sided interpretation. This myth – due to the primal nature to which it refers - becomes so powerful that it invades every area of communication, leaving no faculty or motivation unaffected. It stimulates in the individual a feeling of all inclusiveness. Karenism has such motivational force that it engages the whole of the individual, ensuring collective noise in unison but schizophrenic. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
