Мои статьи, интервью, исследования, откровения, озарения. Раздел постоянно растет вглубь, вширь и вдаль.

Внутренний порядок школы также напоминает устройство завода. Школьники-детали строго по расписанию перемещаются из одного класса-цеха в другой, где учителя-рабочие, согласно утвержденным сверху планам, шлифуют их, прикручивают новые блоки и отдают дальше по цепи. В конце конвейерной ленты ученика ждет суровая проверка на прочность, его механизмы тестируют, проверяют все основные цепи и блоки. И выдают Сертификат Соответствия, ещё его называют Дипломом. Любые отклонения от Заданной Программы фиксируются завучем-бригадиром, который либо устраняет неполадки, либо докладывает директору.

Part 1 “I wasn’t going to vote against Bush. For one thing, I’ve never voted in my life and I didn’t want to ruin my lifetime record for something as stupid as that. I didn’t vote FOR Bush either, but I knew he was going to win whether it was legal or not. It was clear that he would win. Actually, we are very close to some kind of weird post-modern fascism here, including the Reichstag Fire and the whole fucking thing.”

Part 2 “Here in America all the anarchists are just tearing up each other’s throats up over ideology! We claim to be post-ideological and we spend all our time bickering about ideology. “I am the pure anarchist! – No! I am the pure anarchist! – No, no, no! I am the purest anarchist!”

Part 3 “The problem seems to be that the Internet is sucking away any energy that would have gone into real action but which instead goes into the “symbolic discourse” – but even more so because now you have interactivity and the “many-to-many” bullshit, so that you have the illusion of accomplishing great things: “O! We have a million hits on our peace website!” And a million people on the march!” And still nothing happens. And everybody scratches the head and says: “Well, maybe we need to get the message even wider. We need to educate the new generation.” “Education! Education!” I’m so sick of hearing about education. How many times do we have to educate these fucking fools? Don’t they ever learn?”

Part 4 “…let’s imagine that you watch an hour special on PBS about some fucking Indian tribe that’s disappearing. And you go “Oh, that’s terrible!” And you feel your heart bursting out with sorrow. And then it switches to some game show. And, basically, what’s going on here is that the television is giving you the illusion of doing something, because you wasted an hour, you spent an hour watching this rather bad television show, when you could have been watching the latest horror movie or something much more entertaining. So you’ve done something! You’ve sacrificed an hour of your life. And now you know things. You can go to work the next day and say “Do you know about the Indians and bla-bla-bla”, and everybody goes “Oh, the poor Indians!” And that’s it! That’s the end of it. And television actually makes sure that they will never go further than this.”
