“I think I've always been extremely conscious of the kind of empowerment that comes from realizing that you're in a position to express yourself. And the fact is that - and this is the thing about punk rock - that everyone is in a position to create culture, and that point has never been lost on me. To me, that's an important political aspect of doing this, and trying to live in a way that's about dialogue as opposed to like... spectacle.” ThinkingWayTryingKindImportantFactsPoliticalCultureLostRealizingRocksPositionConsciousAspectEmpowermentDialoguePunkExpress YourselfPunk Rock Author:J.

It incites to "counterpower," to "positive" criticism, to an irreducible dialogue (like that between king and prophet in Israel), to antistatism, to a decentralizing of the relation, to an extreme relativizing of everything political, to an anti-ideology, to a questioning of all that claims either power or dominion (in other words, of all things political), and finally, if we may use a modern term, to a kind of "anarchism" (so long as we do not relate the term to the anarchist teaching of the nineteenth century).” IfsKindMayLongUsePoliticalTermClearTeachingModernCenturyKingsAll ThingsCriticismClaimsRelationIsraelExtremesDialogueIdeologyRelateProphetQuestioningBiblicalContestsAnarchismAnarchistDominionNineteenth CenturyPolitical Power Author:Jacques Ellul

“Think of lab rats racing through a maze, when you watch the sub-intelligent, dual-panel 'dialogue' conducted on the teli. Each rat runs with a designated, neatly bifurcated (Republican or Democratic) political orthodoxy. Each is a 'maze-bright' rat, and not the possessor and giver of any truth.” ThinkingRunningPoliticalWatchesRepublicanIntelligentDemocraticDialogueRacingRatsGiverOrthodoxyLabsMazes Author:Ilana Mercer
