and finally, short, but delivers exactly what it promises:
I was thinking about the current media fad for “Emo” when I read this (subsequently censored and deleted): people are tired of pretentious assholes telling them what to think and want to go back to something simpler, instinctive and genuine. emotion is beginning to matter more than intellectual analysis.
It’s all about whether we live in an era of increasing “authenticity”, or not. Postmodernism basically carried forward the Enlightenment project of “modernising” the human animal into a rational being after the mid-century revanchist diversion by several competing socially conservative ideologies that fought for supremacy during the Great European Civil War.
Modernism was not without its discontents. During the early part of the 20th Century these neo-Romantics were called various names: fascists, national socialists, and monarchists. They rejected the idea of a rational human being and instead agitated for the creation of a sensational being. These Vlkisch tendencies emerged quite strongly during the 1960s and 1970s in the guise of “New Age” spirituality, revelatory religion and ethnic politics and the increasing primacy of the rhetoric of body motion and gesture as discourse. The current US fad for “authentic” displays of public emotion and declarations of faith can be seen as a typical expression of a narrative strain within a culture more predisposed than many to Great Awakenings.
Four years and two years ago I noted that Iran seemed to have successfully duped the US into removing both of its main regional adversaries, the Taliban and Saddam Hussein, and in the process revealing the limited extent of US power and strengthening Iran into a regional co-superpower with Israel. Now Iran seems to have manoeuvred Israel into yet another tediously offensive war within and occupation of the morass of southern Lebanon.
The 135,000 overburdened U.S. troops are potential hostagesor targetsfor Iran should the United States take military action to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities … By having terrorists nab the Israelis, the Iranians both upended the G8 summit discussions about their nuclear program and sent a clear reminder of the tools at their disposal should there be a confrontation.
