The Call of Lemmingists
"Send-off", presented to consumer-objects like a binary "on-off" switch, is devoid of humanity.
It's a publicity stunt posed by "look-at-me" star[let]s who need to tell everyone just how "correct", "right on", and "righteous" they are.
That's true when and if the innumerated "we" secede from being subjects, for ourselves, and wear the starchy altruist uniform (as in the feigned-because-spectacular wearing of the anti-sensualist "hair suit"), wherein it presents the image (as in the publicity of "the Imaginary" as if it was "the Real") of not being narcissistically self-anointed as being the true, the one-and-only, the defacto actualization or realization of "correct"-ness, "right on"-nes, and "righteous"-ness. I can smell the stench in the very ASCII code that today replaces "the social" with "acting as a "Social-ite" (synonymous with the pretense of "the Social-ist").
Like the pre-Leninized Marx said in his work on "commodity fetishism", so well elaborated upon by Fredy Perlman, "the more objects are the less I am".
Object-roles become the center of my life only only when I cease to negentropically-ignite my own "social" life and the "social" subjects I know to be at my subjectivity's own fusionary core.
Filling ledger books with quantities of attendees and measuring "liberation" in terms of replies, memberships, tickets, or subscriptions is exactly what Capital and its human pretenders (as in narcissist pretense and pretentious elitism) do for and as Capital. Whether I fill a ledger book with "others" as objects or fill ledger books of reverence with myself as someone else's object, that is when life's light glows less for us all, and so for all life any where or time.
Binary? No thanks. I gave to that "flattened existence" — that "choiceless choice" — as a "worker" at the office, as a "shopper" at the store or in the shopping mall, as a "passenger" waiting the bus stop or transported in some cargo-hold, as a "debtor" bowing-and-scraping before the debt register (as the now-networked "cash register" of the 1970s has now "become"), ad finitum, ad nauseam. The debt register is because we are not! The teeter-totter is fixed and the game is endlessly the same... quite boring after its initial "thrill". Up... down... up... down. Where's the joy in predictable and fixed outcomes?
Rather, I seek the infinite numbers (aka "the countless forms") that are neither 0 nor 1 and which also include 0 and 1 (rather than surrendering to a world where "choice 0" is diminished to being only being "not-1" and where "choice 1" is eternally enslaved to only being only "not-0". What I seek abounds and may be created in infinite shades and thus, mathematical use.
This bleak slicing-and-dicing into 0-or-1 stacks and piles of all human beings and human possibility is the perfected expression of human-manufactured alienation and successes the job description of "colonization by aliens". In other words, it is a pitiful and pitiless call to surrender to, from, and by those already surrendering to an eternity of misery seeking company, banally performed as superstitious ritual in order to delude itself that misery is not self-imposed.
And so, to the "Are you with us or against all we proclaim as us?" broken record, I suggest only a "have eternal in your self-vacating time. And, amidst all that correct, right-on, and righteous wonder, please do forget to write."
this posting suggests you've given up Monsanto, the House of Rothschild, the Illuminati and other big game and have instead set your sights on easier targets, with a cheap shot at a group of retro-left field idealists, who certainly seem harmless enough, misguided as they may be... wondering if this is not an example of "crabs in a bucket" as this phrase has been used to describe the way poor African Americans sometimes pull each other down, but instead of a Black, here we have a radical remnant of the 1960s demonstrating how the Left continues to eat its own...
ReplyDeletehowever, i see you have not forsworn the use of curious words/syntax and terminology, the way you language things here with all manner of strange neologisms... granted, many of these are playful indeed but are probably better suited for perhaps a stand-up comedy routine at a Situationist reunion; unfortunately, many more word choices are too clever by half, as the Limeys would say, or probably downright incomprehensible to over 99% of humanity and in the past have largely obscured the basic truth/value that many of your messages although it must also be said this one strikes me as more incoherent than usual, the accent definitely on the "mess," and as such it will most likely languish in the remote corners of cyberspace, untranslated, unread, unheeded, alas...
note: sir, i believe you err considerably in equating the human propensity to be driven, led or follow to extremes, often with disastrous consequences, with the behavior of lemmings (see link below) and do them a disservice --if only we people could live in greater accord with our surroundings as these creatures!
