The Power Of Now (my ass)

Here is Kierkegaard on the media:

"On the whole the evil in the daily press consists in its being calculated to make, if possible, the passing moment a thousand or ten thousand times more inflated and important than it really is. But all moral elevation consists first and foremost in being weaned from the momentary."

Does this mean that to be moral one must transcend the momentary looking to both the past and the future for perspective and awareness…acts informed by both an historical and future perspective and not how shall we say

immediate gratification,

living in the moment

while the corporate beings

have become monsters

in your midst

plan to attack 

(smaller government is the goal)

imagine a government  controlled by corporations is the most profitable

who are benefitting immensely

(people)

and see nothing morally reprehensible

with the disparity between the rich and the poor

and in fact can justify with

evolutionary philosophy, religion, and most importantly in late stage capitalism with the assumed beliefs of capitalism internalized

to the degree the talented rise to the top

not the truth of

the billionaire CEO cannot be Ghandi and in fact

is not opposed to violence 

The the reality TV shows

now tell you what your reality is            

during next crisis…

                                      says Naomi Klein…

as things get worse,

the shock treatment

gives you general amnesia

you believe it is normal

                                           …

labor is grateful

hungry and cruelly

the powerful dominate

the working class worship

“celebrity” (royalty of old)

                                  …

Marx was wrong…

the working class

would not be

an agency

idea

for if believed

an idea

is never wrong

the reality

of ones situation

in the particular

has nothing to do with

Angelina Jolie

the mainstream media

is selling an ideology

which is an abstraction

and those are alienating   

                                                         abstraction that is

 

 

of consumerism

which is on

90% of the time

in shopping malls

to break the spell

                                     travel and nature and love.

call it propaganda if you will

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and you wish to forget the past…though some have argued to sleep at night the victims must remember while the perpetrators have to forget…
