Corruption, 'Deep Politics', etc.

That's one of the reasons it's so effective. There's seemingly no focal point. A bunch of billionaires could die tomorrow and it wouldn't really matter. Their wealth would just move elsewhere and the machine would continue.

Yes, but you fail to realise that said wealth is gained through devaluation of existing capital - wars, economic crises, etc. To be a real good capitalist you have to exalt in the financial crash.

I keep telling you to read murder of the dead version, stop watching holly whilloughby

I don't think you've ever told me to read that. I've never even heard of it. The only recommendation I can remember you giving me is Nihilist Communism.

Does that run counter to what I was saying?

I think luke is in danger of falling into something. He won't, I'm sure, cos he'll tell us here first. We have to find a way to get to the bottom of it without it being about the Jews. There is of course no bottom of it, but we can explore that imaginative question, why not

I assume he's joking when he says that sort of thing, but I guess you can only joke about something so many times before people start to wonder. This is also a public forum and people who don't know him might read that stuff and not realise it's tongue-in-cheek.

I don't think anyone really cares about that, what matters is how do we get out of this glut of overthinking. Thinking and oh dear ism as Adam Curtis might say.

There's a meme under that that's a great example of what I was on about the other day,

"Virilio's point about synchronising emotion seems to extend to human thought in general with the internet. I don't know whether they were legit, but those alleged memes from China, the Middle-East and elsewhere following the usual format of stuff on 4chan were funny to me at first, but now the thought of everyone slotting jokes into the same template all over the world and just changing the language seems incredibly depressing."

(I don't know what the text says, so hopefully it isn't anything too extreme... )

Yes. It is not a give what is caesar what is caesars or a enemy that one crushes by sheer military force alone but to amplifies those very instabilities within the machine itself. Angels don't like computers, which is why Luke loves them. But I think software bugs are great.

This is partly what I was on about in 'Do we really want out?'.
