Joyce vs Beckett = catholicism - maximalism (outlandish, over the top) vs reformism - minimalism (gray, no ornaments, eating porridge)

My man, Islam really sucks and have been detrimental to everyone involved except maybe homosexual camels, but even that's under review.

What really got me is when he said that Ukraine belongs to Russia. Unjustifiable in my book. Chomsky is another one who sez loads of stupid crap like that. Basically it comes down to - everyone who opposes West, no matter how barbaric, is somewhat moral and good. Like Chomsky used to defend...

He was pretty bad yeah, no way of denying that. But I always wanted to read his novel, "Devil in Suburbs" or something like that, always interested me how he wrote fiction. I sort of imagine it being like Ballard, very analytical and lifeless, but in a good way - brits have that capability, I...

I don't know how it works, but whenever I hear the voice of Norman Finkkelstein I actually want to commit genocide? That normal? Very annoying voice :(

Speaking as an outsider, I have this theory that Anglos have done themselves a lot of favours with not dabbling in dialectics and all sorts of other eschatological, all-encompasing nonsense ideas of similar nature. All that stuff it's pretty much an radioactive poison that rots your brain; so...

Trying to overcome the in-built contradiction that's been coded into existence itself: germanic - slavic - far eastern gobbledygook essentially.

Don't need Hegel don't need Deleuze Oh baby baby I got Book of John blues - Blind Jeffrey Texan "Dialectis Blues"

That's something I've been thinking about - that maybe there is some sort of threshold for media saturation where it get's so intense that it actually stops having any effect, nullifies itself. But that's sort of eschatological idea, meaning - it's probably too hopeful.

The intensity is being dialed down by the powers that be themselves, because they unwillingly pushed things too far - that became very apparent when the Palestine thing started. I don't buy the fatigue theory though, because that makes it sound like something happening organically, but nothing...

Even if so, I still didn't show the Stasi connections - it made them appear as a gang of nutcases who operated autonomosly. If we had a similar film about Pinochet, for example, and it would ignore the CIA involment and all that - just showing him as a crazed Chilean madman who decided to...

Stasi funded thugs, that's what they were. That lefty fairytale movie somehow manages to completly omit that fact. That's one thing I don't understand with these kraut communist radicals - why didn't they just move to East Germany?

Also, the previous back-and-forth regarding bigger time frames of history, the structural relationships between Europe and Russia, which way the long arch of history will bend and so on, that is just so much hot air, because, as I said, we're all gonna be nuked at some point along the line...

Germany, up till very recently, had all the advantages imaginable - American security, unlimited supply of cheap Russian energy, enormous Chinese markets, euro currency which played to their advantage and strong diplomatic power. Even nuclear was phased out only fairly recently. None of that...

Yeah, I known people like that - just constant bad luck, on disaster following another one in an uninterrupted flow of misery. There MUST BE something like a karmic aspect, because such a level of sheer coincedence cannot be rationally explained (ok, it can be, it just dosen't sound too plausible)

In Henry Miller's books he always hapens to meet somone who is ready to give him ten dollars. And then, after he gets those ten dollars, he meets someone who wants to have sex with him. And so all he has to do to cover the basic needs is to walk around. A charmed life.

Carroll Quigley had this theory that strenght of empires eventually moves from centre to periphery where it has more vital resources to draw upon, so the periphery becomes the new centre. I remember couple of years ago someone sent me document with US State Department projections for future of...
