What has been Left Untouched and Untainted by Political-economy?

The 'hand' that kidnaps self-power so that it may rule OVER people pretending to be in their self-interest — which is "politics" — now suffocates subjectivity in every moment and space it self-anoints as its 'divinated' and/or 'propertied' prerogative to go. It invades, colonizes, and rules the globe, and even the history of its deceitful ascent.

My view of religion is that it is the mediated substitute for kidnapped spirituality (as in 'human spirit', not as in ghosts); it is inverted and falsified spirituality, hierarchicalized.

Literalists miss the point of any ancient wisdom — if even admitting that the past even existed or had any wisdom — and then raises (as in the Monty Python film, "Life of Brian") 'the gourd' as the literal "word of God", abstracting life into lifestyle, practice into worship, authenticity into "the worship of the holy", outside and above you.

Burning "Ink on paper" has become equivalent to killing people, and is blamed for those reactionary fundamentalists who do it. Once again, the raped is blamed for the rape.

So much for inverting the real and the unreal. It is pathos, pure and simple.

Burning such idolizations ought to be done by Muslims themselves, as it was they who attacked cartoonists for depicting their own idolization of a two-legged, feet on-ground, eating, sweating and shitting man, Mohammed — who, by the way, was a tremendous asshole, enslaving men, women, and children when not leading murderous raids upon traders in order to claim their wealth and wisdom as his own.

Yet, fundamentalism (where the "mental" is bioneurologically warped) litters the minds of its hosts with "literal" hogwash.

Tearing away the world of nightmare has to be done; there is no gentle way to stop lying to ourselves. The slap and the tickle seem to be the only ways left to communicate, especially since words themselves are 'owned' so that their very use and the way they are interpreted further inverts the world. The internet takes away the sight and senses of human communication, and substitutes its rational ASCII coldness that is filtered and must be paid for to "communicate".

The realm of Virulent Hierarchy's latest form, Capital, is everywhere. Politics rules the past, present, and future. There is only revolt left, and I don't mean that it has anything to do with either side of authoritarianism, left or right.

They are the teeter-totter of stasis. They are the best that political-economy has to offer. Choose between codependent versions of 'the paltry'? No thanks.

It is time for nonlinear, quantum, transcendent, imagination and acts.
