‘The way up and the way down are the same.’

They’re not, you know.

Anyway, back to the monarchical CEOs of Singapore.

‘My God, the genius of that! The genius! If I had ten divisions of those men, Capital would be over very quickly.’

The triumph of virginal beggars over capital.

I wonder what he (or you for that matter) would make of the films of Pedro Costa:

‘Costa is acclaimed for using his ascetic style to depict marginalised people in desperate living situations. Many of his films are set in a district of Lisbon inhabited by the socially disadvantaged and shot in a natural and low-key way in documentary format.’

Or Artur Aristakisyan:

‘Palms’ was made in 1993 and filmed entirely among the community of beggars, outsiders, outcasts and survivors in Aristakisyan’s home-town of Kishinev, the capital of Moldova. Across two hours of searing, poignant and authentically discomforting images, Aristakisyan addresses his unborn son, telling him and by implication us, to reject completely any system that is detrimental to the freedom of our spirit. As he says, “the system will engulf everything that has sense.” Remorselessly following logic into the abyss, he comes to the conclusion that the only hope for his son to remain untainted in his spirit is to become a beggar.’

So much pointless footage of valueless, zero IQ, mongrelised human trash, presumably?

Capitalism gives rise to its own destruction (Schumpeter), especially in the form of intellectuals who try to undermine it. As left wing movements arise, fascist movements also ascend and form a bulwark against the left (Nolte).

So no matter what happens, Capitalism always leads to a left singularity, which in turn leads to a possible fascist uprising.

He was a bit swarthy, but you might have liked him:

‘Rammellzee’s graffiti and art work are based on his theory of Gothic Futurism, which describes the battle between letters and their symbolic warfare against any standardizations enforced by the rules of the alphabet. His treatise, “Ionic treatise Gothic Futurism assassin knowledges of the remanipulated square point’s one to 720° to 1440°,” details an anarchic plan by which to revise the role and deployment of language in society.

He has stated that his name is derived from RAM plus M for Magnitude, Sigma (Σ) the first summation operator, first L – longitude, second L – latitude, Z – z-bar, Σ, Σ – summation.’

Cognitively dissonant, or what?

Hell, I think Italians and Swedes are (statistically) distinctive people — don’t you? (Honestly?)
