I am myself so tired of the purist pseudo-Marxist critique of advertising as part of commodity fetishism that I am almost tempted to propose the following guideline: a critical social theorist who is not able to enjoy advertisements should not be taken seriously

all that is holy is profaned. It is this crazy dynamic of global capitalism that makes effective resistance..difficult… The rage exploding across Europe today is, as Franco Berardi put it…“impotent and inconsequential, as consciousness & coordinated action seem beyond..reach”

I..support PussyRiot’s..performance. What u wrote about masks reminds me of…Nietzsche’s “what must a person have suffered if he needs to be a clown that badly” One shld unconditionally defend the apparently…clownish attitude…as..only appropriate reaction to…violent events

Dear Nadezhda,…Pussy Riot’s very existence communicates to thousands..that opportunist cynicism is not the only option, that we are not totally disoriented, that there still is a common cause worth fighting for. …As the old saying goes, fortune favors the brave! Yours, Slavoj

If we are not able to step outside the compulsion of the system, the gap between the frantic dynamics it imposes and our corporeal and cognitive limitations sooner or later brings about a fall into depression

the neighbour is the Real. …An injunction like ‘Love thy neighbour’ is precisely one of the ways of avoiding the trauma of the neighbour.
