“World War 3 is a guerrilla information war with no division between military and civilian participation.

“War and the fear of war have always been considered the main incentives to technological extension of our bodies. Indeed, Lewis Mumford, in his The City in History, considers the walled city itself an extension of our skins, as much as housing and clothing. More even than the preparation for war, the aftermath of invasion is a rich technological period; because the subject culture has to adjust all its sense ratios to accommodate the impact of the invading culture.”

“Poets and artists live on frontiers. They have no feedback, only feedforward. They have no identities.”“The poet dislocates language into meaning. The artist smashes open the doors of perception.”“The poet, the artist, the sleuth - whoever sharpens our perception tends to be antisocial; rarely "well-adjusted", he cannot go along with currents and trends. A strange bond often exists between antisocial types in their power to see environments as they really are. This need to interface, to confront environments with a certain antisocial power is manifest in the famous story "The Emperor's New Clothes".”

“Rationality or consciousness is itself a ratio or proportion among the sensuous components of experience, and is not something added to such sense experience. Subrational beings have no means of achieving such a ratio or proportion in their sense lives but are wired for fixed wave lengths, as it were, having infallibility in their own area of experience. Consciousness, complex and subtle, can be impaired or ended by a mere stepping-up or dimming-down of any one sense intensity, which is the procedure in hypnosis. And the intensification of one sense by a new medium can hypnotize an entire community.

“Anyone who tries to make a distinction between education and entertainment doesn't know the first thing about either.”

“In the "Republic," Plato vigorously attacked the oral, poetized form as a vehicle for communicating knowledge. He pleaded for a more precise method of communication and classification ("The Ideas"), one which would favor the investigation of facts, principles of reality, human nature, and conduct. What the Greeks meant by "poetry" was radically different from what we mean by poetry. Their "poetic" expression was a product of a collective psyche and mind. The mimetic form, a technique that exploited rhythm, meter and music, achieved the desired psychological response in the listener. Listeners could memorize with greater ease what was sung than what was said. Plato attacked this method because it discouraged disputation and argument. It was in his opinion the chief obstacle to abstract, speculative reasoning - he called it "a poison, and an enemy of the people.”

“The ear favours no particular “point of view.”
We are enveloped by sound.It forms a seamless web around us.We say, “Music shall fill the air.” We never say, “Music shall fill a particular segment of the air.”We hear sounds from everywhere, without ever having to focus.Sounds come from “above,” from “below,” from in “front” of us, from “behind” us, from our “right,” from our “left.”We can‘t shut out sound automatically.We simply are not equipped with earlids.Where a visual space is an organised continuum of a uniformed connected kind, the ear world is a world of simultaneous relationships.”

“Delegated authority is lineal, visual, hierarchical. The authority of knowledge is nonlineal, nonvisual, and inclusive.”

“Once we have surrendered our senses and nervous systems to the private manipulation of those who would try to benefit from taking a lease on our eyes and ears and nerves, we don't really have any rights left.”

New favourite of yours?
What's it matter? Answer: It doesn't.
But it IS truth. Do whatever the F you want with it.
As I posted at Zwaremetalen239's:
Earth to Palestinians...
Your Arab allies (other than Iran) are NOT coming to save you. And even they have now been placed in "Check".
So convert to Shi'a and emigrate to Iran (if you can). The Sunni will refuse you as refugees.
Yemen might take a few. Lebanon. Places where there are Shi'a populations. But the Sunni aren't coming to save you.
The Israeli's are playing moral "chess". Every moral "provocation" results in a "cleansing justification" response. The Jews are "the people of the Book" and they use that Book to keep score. Tit-4-Tat. And the Settlers are agent provocateurs in that tit-4-tat response process... provoking the tits... goading the tits... instruments of the Israeli government's perpetual and intentionally persistent cleansing moral justification process.
...all covered over by the Cloak of Gyges... a veil that prevents it being seen openly through the exclusion of journalists... and the absence of reporting of tit-provoking events by Settlers to non-Jews.... allowing other Israeli's and western outsiders a perception that the government actions are morally justified. As in Gaza.
The Jews are intimately familiar with the provocation-based cleansing process.... that led to the "re-settlement hoax" under Nazi Germany. The process that turned the Jews into "rags", to be burned and swept away... as the Jews are slowly but surely doing to the Palestinians.
It's the banal Zionist "system" that's evil. Those individuals (Settlers) who commit the acts think they're doing "good" in its' name. It's "Jewish kitsch" historicism.
“There is no such thing as collective guilt or collective innocence; guilt and innocence make sense only if applied to individuals.” –Hannah Arendt, "Personal Responsibility Under Dictatorship"
Provoking the 'tits'. The ethics of kitsch.
...the reality, that we are desperate to incomprehend is just this: Humans like to humiliate, torture and kill other humans. Zionism, much like Nazism, was nothing but a theatrical justification for those dark desires
"The scapegoats responsible for the Jews being banished from Eden must be expelled."
That is the Ethic of Kitsch.
Israel means "to struggle with G-d." They have lost that struggle and succumbed instead to their darkest desires.
PS - The Palestinians are worse. Islam is the "ethics of kitsch" weaponized and systematized. At least the Israeli's still "struggle". Jes sayin'
Horsesh*t.
^^Idiot or fool, can't tell which^^

Your projections are spot on!
That Islam is a form of Buddhism? Exactly.
Your full of sh*t.

I'm good with the light bulb analogy.
Nope, No Palestinians struggling with the 10/7 events...
It's time that the Palestinians resettled in Arab lands.
The Jews have no other place to go.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFIoAvBBnqI
It is Arab land. Never should the 1948 decision have happened.
Give em New York City and New Jersey.
Or even better yet, they cold go to Africa and join the etnic Jewish population there. Ethnic Jews (bloodline) may not welcome their Zionist views but hey, the rituals practiced by cultural Jews are similar as I understand it.
Arab land? They won a war? LOL!
Jews are black???? ROFLMAO.
Read the actual history. Where the do you think Jesus the ethnic Jew was born?
He was a ethnic Jewish man of color born in the hot Middle East desert environment.
The whiteness was what conquering colonial whities did to make the mythology acceptable to white folks in Europe and other white cultures.
To win a war right does not necessarily make.
1967 was wrong then and what the butchering Genocidal Zionist government is doing in Gaza not only wrong it man's inhumanity to man at it's very worst.
10/7 was response to
Zionist oppression since 1967 going forward until today's Zionist genocide of Palestinians. The narative you and Zionists hang their argument on us total bullsh*t.
))))))))))))
Means dRump are none whity???
Because of its sunburns?))))
Yeah. But whom they learned it?
In a hard way.
If not from germans and americans.
""While no outright ban existed, the history of Jewish immigration to the United States is marked by severe restrictions and pervasive antisemitism, including discriminatory quotas under the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1924, the infamous General Order No. 11 expelling Jews from a Union-controlled area during the Civil War, and widespread public opposition to admitting Jewish refugees fleeing the Holocaust. These policies and attitudes created significant barriers, preventing hundreds of thousands of Jews from finding safety in the US.""
""
And TO WHAT (re)creation of Israel was... if not to Holocaust.
Which showed to all sane people -- if you have NO own land, NO own nation -- you'll be exterminated.
Sooner or later.
Zionists are merely reacting to Arab and Roman oppression since the year 0 bc.
In other words, I raise your "oppression" argument by 2,000 years.
To win a war right does not necessarily make.
Sorry, might makes right since the dawn of history.
Trump has a spray on tan, belongs to the Florida orange juice race. Unlike a goatherder who spends all day in the sun.
Melanin... because too much Vitamin D is bad for you.
Spray on tan. As fake as the face it is on.
I'll take the goat herders tan. It's authentic.
Just like the goat herder.
That's not authentic. That's "sincere". Big difference. The goat-herder didn't choose to become a goat-herder. He became a goat-herder because he had no other option for survival but to do as his grandfathers had done.
The "authentic" man leaves the farm and goes to work in a factory. Shall I make cars or tractors. THAT is "authenticity". Making a "choice".
Or in the case of the UNWRA Pseudostinian... to become a terrorist bomb maker instead of opening up a corner 7-11.
Or in the case of the felon to become an insurectionist and a prolific liar.
Your goat herder analogy is lame. Goat herding was simply a neccessary activity at one time in our evolution. Thank reason and science for the progress humankind has made.
Your argument falls on its own weakness.
And as far as your reference to bomb making in the ME... Well, goat herders are far less guilty of bomb making and massive destruction than the USA and Zionist Israel.
Epic fail jc.
Your identity rests upon who you are not, not who you actually are. You choose to be "not Trump". Huzzah! How "courageous"! @@
You're playin' the post-colonialism orientalist shimmy-shammy. "I pick the 'not oppressor' side! See? That makes me a GOOD person!" @@
