Kierkegaard and Bullshit

June 11th, 2009 Comments Off

“The most dangerous revolutions are not those which tear everything down, and cause the streets to run with blood, but those which leave everything standing, while cunningly emptying it of any significance.” — Kierkegaard

More proof that Capitalism has done it’s job … and writing for the web is but blogging the mop up.

As of course are a great many other activities, but then, why depress oneself.

Personally, I date it from the day the San Francisco Chronicle (substitute: your newspaper, if you have one, more’s the pity) began featuring fucking movies on the front page. Like they were news. Hello?

Which has, in that short time, degraded to, can you bear it, nipple slips … Oh yes, the Huffington Post, I knew Ariana was in trouble—not but what she personally no longer gives fig number one, ah it must be nice to move on—and wasn’t that a time, before the election, the election itself, oh yes, you’ll look back and say, Wasn’t that a time …

… Even the HuffPo has begun featuring nipple slips on the front page. The sidebar, yes, but give me a large break. Are American—in this case, men, though the sexualizing of women to see like men, now there’s a subject—so empty of heart and mind that the sight of a famous nipple  … aw fuck. What did the guy say: empty of any significance.

Prurience. Now there’s a word that sits lonesome in the dictionary, nobody cares anymore.

Cares! Did I say cares? Hell, prurience is the engine that drives us! Who am I to call bullshit?
