tea party, tax day 2010 —- perhaps the most perverse example of contemporary cultural hegemony, people designed to violently & fearfully fight against their own self-interest. notice the continuous invocation of widely debunked (& now discarded) fox news talking points (e.g. obama plans to ban fishing). notice the complete lack of focus or pointedness (e.g. the insatiable urge to critique global warming science). notice the unembarrassed pride in being corporately funded by fox news, and other institutions of “freedom.” notice the sick vacuousness of the enemy’s propagandist soldiers, hollowed out & made extensions of an arm of a machine (now manufactured to clean and protect the machine itself). notice the christian self-demoralization and dehumanization, the readiness and willingness to celebrate the “right” of the privileged to exploit them, the underprivileged. notice the mass dissemination of misinformation and the absolute incredulity of those wrong to face even rudimentary facts. notice the failure of democracy and the triumph of party politics, corporatism, capitalism, repression, puritanism, racism, and so on. notice white people.
