weird times
so, we in the old continent deal with the ocasional far-right protest now and then. it's always been the case, noone really gives them much credit. sometimes, one or two get arrested for beating/killing a black guy, for arms dealing etc., and they're jailed for 15+ years so effectively they're put out of commission. the far-right is fringe and in my eyes not much different from any other violent gang. so yeah, dangerous, but not in the political sense. the most repulsive thing they do from a political standpoint is freely join the militarized police, as it is a way for them to harass immigrants without consequence. currently there's a major cracckdown on that going on.
even then I don't consider them worthy of my times from a political organization standpoint. they're just scum.
what makes this issue interesting to me is this orwellianesque newspeech kind of deal that we're facing nowadays, since trump allied himself with a special brand of far-right that specialized itself in, uhm, linguistic warfare? there's an army of youtube pundits, right-wing media journalists, political agents and now of course the president in what seems to be a semi-orchestrated effort to subvert conventional meaning and thriving on that dumbing down for political gain.
I mean seriously, fake news? alt-right? alt-left? antifa? does anyone know what these words mean in a material sense? no. and they are taking advantage of the fast-paced media consumption to throw shit out there and then just move on before any serious enquiry can take place. there's literally no point nowadays in writing an exposé on a particular youtube pundit, pointing out the stacking logical fallacies, lack of research and outright lies and manipulation, because by the time you're done he's moved on to a different issue. the damage is done.
and the worse thing about it sthat this is trickling upwards to the arguably most powerful man in the planet. he himself is playing that game. there hasn't been one coherent idea coming out of that man's mouth or fingers ever since he started his political campaign. his tweets and press conferences are a stream of nothingness.
it's only in this millieu of bad ideas that i can understand why your average chinless turd would even contemplate marching alongside armed nazis shouting blood and soil and tell himself that he's got nothing to do with that. how?? how can ANYONE buy into that rhetoric? am I going crazy?
I'm not going crazy. this is a purposeful, orchestrated fucking erasure of meaning. and yes, before you think it, I saw the exact same thing with hillary clinton, except she would support other fringe crazies on the left. the fact is that what is important is not that nazis or moron anarchists are marching the streets, but that our cultural paradigm isn't allowing people to get a fucking grip about it. this is a nightmare. words are dead. fucking hell.
