that he would provide them direction, but in the end he proved that he is
unable to really lead when it counts. He is not a general, nor a

Hi Nettime,
Here in the US along with millions of others I have been consumed by the
election drama for the past ten days. Every day beginning with November 3
has been its own news cycle. That Tuesday went deep into the night. And it
was a dark moment. Early returns made for the appearance of a Tr
Though there is much in this exchange to discuss, I'll limit myself to a
correction on a peripheral point: it wasn't Mao that sent in the army. It was
Deng. As long as we're on the issue of how the US is perceived, how homogenous
or heterogeneous it is, &ct, I think it's not such a small thing t
Dear Felix,
With this refreshed invitation, I’ll take a stab at keeping the conversation
going.
As for breaks, ruptures, and discontinuities, I wonder about Nixon’s Silent

Dear Nettime,
Partial disclosure: I am married to a leading voice in the field of
college health, one frequently quoted in national media as universities

Until Ryan singled out the tasteless and revealing remark about

Greetings Nettimers,
For me, the question of identity politics–--what it is, where it comes
from, what problems it creates or exacerbates, its political efficacy and

Greetings Brian and Nettime,
When it comes to discussing the demand for suffrage in HK—what it means and

On the question of whether and how is ³democracy² relevant to an
understanding of Chinese politics, I lean towards Mark¹s views.
To add to them, Flick¹s characterization of the CCP as a ³supreme² ruler, I

Dear Flick,
The arrogance of Eric X. Li will not be effectively answered by simply
asserting that we in the so-called democratic West have a superior
system. Doing so does nothing whatsoever to influence China while
at the same time supplies all the intellectual and moral legitimacy

Dear Nettime,
Speaking of documenta-Occupy (and not "Occupy documenta," tellingly) and
more failed revolutionary (or even reformist!) promise to write about,

worst failure of the June 5 smackdown. Here are my reviews of th

As you might imagine, I¹m working out on my own analysis of the Wisconsin
recall election flame-out. I¹m taking my time with this one. What happens

My interpretation is that the Occupy movement is largely fueled by those
Americans (especially the young) who see their bleak future being realized
and reinforced with each passing news cyclebut those are people largely
