However, while Benjamin writes against the grain in the name of the oppressed, the proletariat, Graeber and Wengrow appear to do so in the name of ‘freedom’."

46 followers · 103 posts · Server bach.socialI have often paraphrased something that #WalterBenjamin said, that the law itself exists only to protect those in power. Marry that with #VáclavHavel’s notion of a consumerist driven post-totalitarianism and we arrive at the reality of our present moment. The parts that are all filled in are those individuals’s whose God is their salary. God is an unwritten god. God is bigger than what one can find in a book. #theology #philosophy #ClimateChange #law #totalitarianism #capitalism

Ein „sonderbares Gespinst aus Raum und Zeit: einmalige Erscheinung einer Ferne, so nah sie sein mag“. #WalterBenjamin Selfie im Spiegel oder ein Ölbild das #AlbertBitzius beim Verfassen eines neuen Romans im Garten zeigt - den Laptop im Schoß. Ein wenig beunruhigend, wie leicht es fällt, Abbildungen unserer Kunden per prompt zu erzeugen, die im Stil einer Epoche und einer #Künstlerpersönlichkeit gehalten sind.

170 followers · 385 posts · Server richard.directoryI so, so, so often repeat and paraphrase #WalterBenjamin who wrote that the purpose of the law is violence to protect those in power. Perhaps I would be more inclined to meditate on Benjamin's many other brilliant thoughts, but I think of that idea specifically almost daily. It doesn't help that the vast majority of the public are such willing participants in the boat and pony show. All day, every day, people are lined up to protect the powerful in spite of their own best interests.

'Cool is implicitly political: “The flaneur with his ostentatious composure protests against the production process” (Walter Benjamin, The Arcades Project.)
'Politics are hot. The politics of cool are outside politics: Cool feels outlaw.'

"In the midst of socially mediating, I came across the observation, from some generational instance younger than my own, that back in the early 90s people of his kind thought the rock band Steely Dan was uncool.
"I steadied myself. I read on."

La bourgeoisie veut juste que ce soit propre et agréable pour elle, dans ses rues le matin ou lorsqu’elle sort le soir. Elle n’a pas envie d’en savoir plus sur tes conditions de travail. Elle n’a d’ailleurs pas particulièrement envie de savoir que tu as une existence en dehors du fait que tu sers à son confort quotidien.

282 followers · 384 posts · Server cylon.spaceI just realized that if we combine two teachings: that Václav Havel warned post-totalitarianism would centralize consumerism as the method of rule and that Walter Benjamin taught that law is* violence, then we can easily come to the conclusion that *consumerism equals violence*, which is something we see all the time in reports on human rights and climate.
