The discourse both on the left and on the right is increasingly becoming an exercize in irrelevance.
Trapped in their little VMs all sides compete for CPU cycles without having to offer anything whatsoever. The ultimate goal of identity politics and personalization (as if there is any difference between the two) has been reached - one person per VM, and there is no where to further subdivide. We are witnessing the death spiral of virtualized politics. The model has completely lost the capability to predict the future. The talking heads (including current, upcoming and wannabe heads of state) spit out words that have absolutely nothing to do with intentions. These words then spawn eddy currents of more CPU waste, etc. etc. The latest example is a call for 1-day general strike on the US inauguration day. https://occupyoakland.org/2016/11/call-general-strike/ One day general strike. 30-minute love affair. 1-week MBA degree. ---- Sent using Guerrillamail.com Block or report abuse: https://www.guerrillamail.com/abuse/?a=T0RgEQQNRvkZqAO1%2BXJReRHOQ4SfwNA%3D # 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] # @nettime_bot tweets mail w/ sender unless #ANON is in Subject:
