here, time is divided, separated into
many simultaneous private spaces.
that capitalism, it would seem to be,
an economic method turned into a
social organization, the privatization...
over there, what was seen on TVs of
others is the failure of economics, the
failure of people to be economically
sustainable. while social fabric here
is dismantled, sold to highest bidders.
an existential absurdity, even rightwing
talkshow hosts decry encroachment of
social space, as their voices are threats
to a final profiteering of consensus view.
what was imagined, naively most likely
as too simple, is that the organization of
society on social principles, likewise, may
exist within limits, though in another way.
none of which can be conceded by true
believers in institutional machine-nations.
that there may be some truth to the role of
private money in economics, and public
interests in social development, and that
these may somehow be able to work in
diverse forms of organization, weighted
across a spectrum of options and politics,
that with rights of some basic nature for a
people of some 6 billion on earth, that in
some way there may be a commonality.
not identical, maybe neverso. though a
continuity between peoples, places, the
spaces, times, even if unstable, chaotic,
able to organize, reorganize, and change
in ways more than the madness of wars.
if the bubble that is the unshared present,
here, shared in time not in space, divided
is the sense, and some private aspect of
one individual's demographic rises up a
bureaucratic ladder to then re-present an
unreal, ideal, utopian pseudo-person of
an economic policy that is resolved by the
humanism of its social policies, how it is
a more enlightened path, the bureaucrat
as the communicator, the public service
announcer, commentator, public intellect
trapped into speech spaces, times, codes.
the 20th century was privatized, even if
social policy was 'public' in nature, more
publics await, changes, transformations,
challenges. more privates, of a different
kind, possibly incommunicable in media
saturation, deeds alone as one continues.
to be 'public', here, is absurdly to be said
to be 'communist' - the polarization of the
ideologies of the Cold War era engrained
into psyches, possibly, psychologistics of
relating or not having to, the vanity of being
able to ignore everything outside a small,
cloistered worldview. burden of proof not
on heretics, but on priesthoods to deliver
long-awaited utopias from flames of hell.
entirely possible, merging of public-private
worlds, the 'group' that threatens stability of
ideologies through different economics of
bargaining, maybe 300 toothpastes is at
some point enough choice, maybe multiple
copies said to be originals, are really still a
copy and redundant, except for challenging.
maybe there are some truths yet to be able
to be communicated, even less by choices
than by ignorance, or limits of imagination.
what if, it is often wondered here, a social
organization and economic organization
could have some publicness and private-
ness, some autonomy yet responsibility--
instead of equivalent of the fundamentalist
religions never talked about, that exist as
equal that of church-state in the sciences
as belief systems, as faith, priests, popes,
swirling goddesses, tongue-tied into the
apocalypse at the end of media-language.
i am afraid. to speak, yes. to write, yes. to
think, yes. to act, yes. i am afraid to make
any choice. to question anything. to wonder.
i am scared, for myself. in a shared public
space. i want to be able to visit elsewhere,
while stuck in the inner workings of a state
of affairs, a bureaucracy possibly out-of-
control, possibly even on purpose to force
the ideology that rules the mean streets,
onto the world mind- it is a violent stress.
everyone hates where i am from. many it
seems would gladly kill, as we have killed
and many without knowing, another fate.
how to get to another world. another place
that is shared, different, yet not against the
basic fabric needed for peaceful change. if
that is wanted, needed, maybe not. worlds
reflect what is projected here, in a sublime
way the passive-aggression of force waits,
patient, palpable the threat of further strikes.
all of which reinforce the monster that has
now arisen, some culmination of a dream,
though in another realm of the unbelievable,
often said of here, its best qualities are also
its worst. an integrity exists to get through a
time of change, yet the space remains inside
divisions, inside concepts unsuitable for the
realities faced-- the interfaces well beyond
knowledge, sheer interaction a glue holding
all together from falling in upon itself as one.
as one public, many privates, one private,
many publics, in transcending the 'digital'
logic of the hardware and software flip-flop
of rhetoric, middle zones betwixt, between,
liminal, what can be possible by changing
of understanding, of perceptions not by way
of managing consensus opinion and some
knowledge bases, yet integrating them and
all the unknowns and letting the world start
to figure itself out, each person, a place of
unique and common belonging. strangers
living in other mindsets, everlasting clashes.
the force of tension, felt. in the air. hovering,
waves, compression and vibration- against.
against the against. anti- the anti-. not yet
beyond, stuck inside a contradiction, waiting
for reconciliation of worlds, times, spaces, it
may never be possible unless it is needed-
and if the least is the most, it will not happen
quickly, unless it is necessary. what will be?
the worst, it is feared, will bring further worse
things, the chasm of some nightmare staring
up and down and every angle upon the self.
invisible, all day is night, all night, daylight.
no sense, non-sense, how to sense, reason,
no one cares, if less is more, if a spectacular
can make change wait another day, a choice.
as an individual, i want to belong to a group,
of people. people. citizens. not nation-states,
human state, individual and the collection of
us. public and private realms, the world in a
beauty it rarely gets to share with many, the
connections built on sharing, ideas, dreams.
no money in that, except of value that is a
basis for a worthwhile life. here, one is not
a full citizen, unless astute as business. it is
not the worst quality, unless it is the measure
of worth, which is, the economic dimension,
which is then further divided by its privatized
dimension, and then this scaled up to 'all of
the world' as the dictates of the superpower,
and its pantheon of friends. that was another
world, now forever lost to history, thankfully.
why is it not appreciated, the importance of
the social dimension to cultural experience,
it is wondered how the world of franchises,
of repetition, of a programmed environment
is assimilated in minds yet unconsciously so,
pavlovian, the shopping cart an extension of
the .US hand, when if meeting the people in
a world other than abstracted information of
demographics, may be a trowel of a gardener,
the pencil of a poet, the knitted blanket for a
grandchild, things not so different, possibly,
from other places though invisible details of
no 'real' value outside some fundamentalist
view of worth, value, meaning, place, energy.
there is a particular torment in knowing of a
pain being inflicted by a mindless machinery
of a place, fed by an encouraged behaviorism
which, at the same time, is unchallenged by
reason as it has escaped its context, theorism
facilitating further extension of belief systems,
it is just around the corner, in another word or
language or belief added onto the present one.
it is never going back. never archaeology, not
underneath, always in realms of superstructure.
these are partly true, partly accurate, partly a
pragmatism, yet without the ability to jump into
a new context, a new millennium beyond the
constraints of the old, minds of adult infants in
relation to what is known in details, versus a
view of the whole, able to be comprehended,
considered, explored, a new basis for relating.
off the map, one visiting .RU or eastern europe,
or the middle east or anywhere, that is how it
seems. not just for reasons of anger afar, but of
the ideological extension elsewhere of what is
now attempting full control here, that that threat
is greater than the other, that the self is suicidal
to change, will kill itself, not as martyr or sacrifice
for a greater cause but a lesser cause, a lesser
reality, a lesser possibility, a destruction of the
future to regain an impossible past experience
detached from the larger public, some deranged
vision of a very poor rich person, who believes
their wealth is of knowledge and truth, when it
cannot be achieved through a power of money.
it is happening here, yet it is also being pushed
back, has been for several weeks, now months.
there is a threshold. it has been reached. and it
is the silence, incommunicable, beyond saying,
that no matter the brutality that may be ahead--
many are locating a similar public space of an
agreed upon benefit, beyond political division.
the worst offenders of this ideology may be the
people here who purport to stand against the
current system while exacerbating its forces,
and their deadly consequence outside groups.
feeble is the ego to a true public, beyond the
control of another private sphere, to harness
and exploit it further for another demographic
utopia. time, space, place may be getting real.
what may be next, and for who, is unknown. a
future hangs, within grasp, outside of reach. in
silence, one can see it, there. here it, there. a
hope exists, there. the void, is here. absence.
loveless. extinction. the death of lifelessness.
fear, sorrow, in being hated. in knowing wrong,
yet trying still. in others, to please give another
chance. what if many simply said 'i do not know'
and we must work together to find a way ahead.
unrealistic. idealistic. stupid. fantasy. nuclear war.
who cares of governments. what is a constitution
of a person, not post-person persona's personality,
a living breathing being whose destiny is tied to all
others in the decisions now made, and not made.
naive, maybe, that friendships will outlast the pain.
and, then, the work will begin, to make things turn.
in the ways that are possible, suspended, waiting.
the release of those forces, energies, area also an
unknown. not a simple peace, yet a complex turn
of events of a world scale, intimately local, which
every person could contribute their unique skills.
to realize the impossible, what may be considered
unreal, giving up something to get something more.
maybe it is illusions. maybe it is hatred. maybe it is
power. maybe it is money. maybe it is conceit. and
maybe it is already given up, privately, by many,
and somehow language needs to be transcended
and the physicality of bodies need to start working.
a remaining factor is, there is so far no money in it.
it is a different kind of profit, a balancing of cultures.
this is shared, realizing it is probably arrogant to
write this. quite stupid if a citizen here to do so, too.
in that it will not help individually or communal wise.
and may incite anger and hatred for positions, both
for and against. though wrote as it is obvious here
of a spatial division (of labor, of mind) which is at
the crux of the blockage, adding this onto private-
worldviews/psychologies, encouraged by training
people by social engineering an economic class,
calling it social policy while its society is now gone,
and to see the threads hanging on, regrouping into
other web weavings, reconfiguring, to regenerate
as another thing, yet to be seen in larger scales.
given the improbable nature of past events, it is
of greatest concern not who Bush is running with
for the presidency but who Cheney will be picking.
if it is an impossibility for him to continue in office,
it would seem most likely it will not happen yet as
with other improbabilities, that makes it most likely.
Cheney must be impeached, now, to move beyond.
Cheney must be impeached. that is the end of words.
the end of language. where reason begins here, and
how to change a pattern of destruction, fear, loathing,
deception, brutality, into places where people belong.
IMPEACH CHENEY.
