when the saints go marching in

















the rejection of self-love by Protestants
belongs to their depreciation of secondary causes.
but in this way they stop up the wellspring of joy
and all human activity.

critical theory agenda













We must organize the intellectuals and use them
TO MAKE WESTERN CIVILIZATION STINK!
Only then, after they have CORRUPTED ALL ITS VALUES
AND MADE LIFE IMPOSSIBLE,
can we impose the dictatorship of the proletariat.




                                       Willi Munzenberg

no answers until the questions are asked















Will there be any up or down left?
       Who’ll give us a sponge to wipe away the horizon?
              Will we need lanterns to be lit in the morning hours?
                   Will we need to invent sacred games?




                                              Frederich Nietzsche

i say o horde listen up.....

















The masses have never thirsted after truth.
They turn aside from evidence
that is not to their taste,
 preferring to deify error, if error seduce them.
Whoever can supply them with illusions
is easily their master;
whoever attempts to destroy their illusions
is always their victim.
 An individual in a crowd
is a grain of sand amid other grains of sand,
which the wind stirs up at will






                                                     Gustave le Bon

visceral narratives













Each day has a story that deserves to be told,
 because we are made of stories.
I mean, scientists say
that human beings are made of atoms,
 but a little bird told me
that we are also made of stories.



                        Eduardo Galeano

it works every time

















If you wish to keep slaves, you must have all kinds of guards. The cheapest way to have guards is to have the slaves pay taxes to finance their own guards. To fool the slaves, you tell them that they are not slaves and that they have Freedom. You tell them they need Law and Order to protect them against bad slaves. Then you tell them to elect a Government. Give them Freedom to vote and they will vote for their own guards and pay their salary. They will then believe they are Free persons. Then give them money to earn, count and spend and they will be too busy to notice the slavery they are in.
