Hauntology falls under the domain of "the other thread".
i think Baudrillard got it right when he said that the cold war literally froze war into a media spectacle, which no longer has anything to do with reality, and which has been kind of shot into orbit around the planet (like a satellite or orbital nuke); this sustains global capital with the constant threat of war, which is always on the edge of apprehension. this is a strategy employed to safeguard capitalism against threats like violence (which destroys infrastructure), and network contagions. the problem here, according to Baudrillard, is that this bubble of sanitation itself becomes virulent, like an auto-immune virus, and starts eating away at its own supports.
I've returned from the meadow with a fellow named X
two turntables and a spark upon his set
wet behind the ears from the tears of my peers
rap is outta control that's what we fear
so we collapse any actual threats
with the new batch of catchy little quirks
and it works like a charm as I bomb and alarm
any listeners
coming through crisper
on your transistors
