Interesting to see how "rage" is simultaneously the terrifying "undercurrent" driving the intruder Obama a fashionable and marketable aspect of white celebrity - Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck vend their white rage - adoreable white grrrl rage is even more admirable and refreshing than the boys.
Consider the reaction if Zizek had any black fans, calling for Violence and revolutionary terror! The rage and violence act is safe-for-whites-only product. Only white people can advertise their rage and anger and bitterness and resentment as merits and virtues and saleable features of their entertainment commodities. They have a right to their rage - its the effusion of a love of justice and truth! like Swift, Carlyle, Nietzsche, all enraged! - and of course they can control it too. White people's rage never actually hurts anyone.
And so this rage for white rage entertainment - from the Tea Party on the right to ZizneyCorp on the "left" - does the work of reproducing white supremacy.
he saw them but they all looked alike and half an hour later he felt he wanted to see them again.
...serrrusly he's just denigrating, the theme is China is crap. All of China is made in a sweatshop. It's all shit, cheap, imitation civilisation made by cheap imitation people. These Chinese are mindless, china is all hypocrisy, all surface and no social substance, so go ahead and intervene in that shit. It can only be an improvement.
but its crappiness doesn't just give us the right to fix it, but is scary, it's a threat to us, because it could "blow up" somehow. contradiction, conflict, tensions held very precariously in some kind of balance while the conflict is violent, garish, overwhelming, and Zizneycorp says it's set to "explode"
White puts me in ind of back when Ol' Tom Landry coached them Cowboys. I remember a close up of a furiously seething Landry, while the announcer described him as "the emotionless Coach Landry." Since it is their natural state, they don't even realize they are.
John Dower's War Without Mercy is a good book to read now...and in it he reminds the reader:
“The propagandistic deception often lies, not in the false claims of the enemy atrocities, but in the pious depiction of such behavior as peculiar to the other side.”
And "we" of course make mistakes and slip and aren't perfect, but our mistakes are part of their nature...often our errors come from mingling with them too much...and our worst sins can be our failure to control them, our slumming with them and involvement with them...Bourriaud taking that dirty arab money into the clean white Tate...but we're often big enough and self critical enough to say hey sometimes we're no better than gypsies!

ReplyDeletehe saw them but they all looked alike and half an hour later he felt he wanted to see them again.

"sino-" means fake, inferior, crap.
