What is to be done?
"The appearance of management is the management of appearances"
"In societies where modern conditions of production prevail, all of life presents itself as an immense accumulation of spectacles (Debord, Society of the Spectacle)."
This is not a love song
I TAKE MY DESIRES FOR REALITY BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN THE REALITY OF MY DESIRES . . . ABOLISH ALIENATION . . . UNDERNEATH THE PAVING STONES THE BEACH . . . AND IF THE SORBONNE BURNED DOWN? . . .
This is indeed revolutionary poetry, a fitting accompaniment to the strikes, occupations, battles and demonstrations of May '68. But it is far too easy to conflate the revolution and its signs
When Cute Cartoon Girls ATTACK!!!
Detournment (subversion) is the dangerous old game of turning the master's tools against the master. It is a game of escalation, a potlatch which seeks finally to exceed the limits of capital.
Guy Debord is still dead

Hi, I'm Cynicalman's (TM-Matt Feazell) cousin, Indifference Lad. WTH was up with the last comic strip?
He was parodying the old practice of the Situationist International. (1958-72) They used to take comics and put their ideology in the word balloons.

Was that anything like Walker and Dumas's use of old comics in SAM'S STRIP?
No, in the SI's case, the use of the strips was deliberately unauthorized and intended to subvert capitalism.

This is all well and good coming from a jerk who can't even -draw- his own strip.
Don't make me come over there and feed you that hook, stickboy.

So Debord and Co. thought that you could transform work into play just like that?
'Fraid so, Indifference Lad. They confused the signifier with the signified, which is typical of modern leftism.

What the #*$*#$*@@!! are you babbling about, Anime Anima?
They refused to distinguish between that which can be changed by human activity and that which is beyond the metaphysical control of mankind.

That sounds like something Ayn Rand would say.
Gee, John Searle too. Saddam and other fascists aren't going to be defeated by thinking nice thoughts, Richard Gere to the contrary.

Hello, IL, what's up?
Screaming Skull, what are you doing here? I thought you were supposed to be over in RED MEAT tormenting Bug-Eyed Earl!
http://redmeat.com/redmeat/newsfinger/
That countrified bolo-tied Baudulaire can rot in hell for all I care, and probably will.
I hate to say it, SS, but you look a lot sketchier over here than you do in Cannon's strip.
To be continued...?
It's a function of projecting myself across the comics dimensional barrier. Here, I'll take off my makeup. Is that better?
Why me? I'm going to have to listen to him whine -all- day long.

Meet Muffwit Merkin
I think it's like, soo eeevul that we're going to war for oil
Actually, Muffwit, the opposition to war is driven by desire for oil. The U.N. alone has made a billion bucks off of the Iraq sanctions.
But like, war never solves anything.
It certainly cured the world of German and Japanese militarism, to say nothing of making the -original- Islamic terrorists see the light.
Ohhh, you fascist poop. You're making me think.
Try not to do too much of that, Muffwit. It'll make the methane in your cranium detonate.

New Targeted Demographic Xmas
Hello, Mr. Elf. What present have you brought me?
It's a very special present, especially selected with you in mind.
His suspicion mounts...
Is it a good present?
I happen to think so, we've targeted you especially for your age and race.
Can I be Garry Trudeau's ghost cartoonist now?
Oh, God, get the *#$# out of here, Mr. Stinkybutt.
Curses, foiled again. Come on kid, give emphysema a try.

Mr. Scratch and his aide Judas Goat discuss the promotion of evil.
Now, remember, you'll use your mind control powers to take over the "anti-war" left for Saddam.
Ahh, I hate to tell you this, Chief, but they're already on his side!
Edmund Burke, call your office.
What? He's a racist, fascist, ecocidal, -genocidal- maniac. I couldn't create a composite of all the evils they claim to hate and do a more credible job of it!
What can I say, Boss? Your campaign to destroy moral objectivity and basic decency has really taken them by storm. Now, there isn't even a pretense of progressivism. "Itching ears," you know.
Talk about self-fulfilling judgment!
Excuse me, I'm going to have to void some ectoplasm in a very unpleasant manner.
Yep, it's hard to be a self-respecting demon while associating with these creeps. The Enemy is really dealing out the punishment to us on this one.

(He's daydreaming again!) Ahem, excuse me, Your Satanic Majesty, but I have to report that our efforts to thwart Saddam's removal are failing!
Blast! It's like I always say, relying on the French is like leaning on a broken reed.
Why, exactly, are they so anxious to support our continuing efforts at immiserating the Iraqis and increasing world tension?
Well, they have a long philosophical tradition of collaboration with evil in the name of "liberation," they love to act as neo-colonial oppressors and they thought that Jerry Lewis was a film genius.
Baal-Zebub's Boils! I was with you right until that last statement. Now I'll have to rid my mind of his eldrich horror!
What can you expect from a culture that's founded on the notion of never going into another person's bathroom? Just thinking about that anal-retentive foulness makes me shudder!

Anime Anima confronts Azrael
I have come to write seven names in light: Ilan Ramon, Rick Husband, Laurel Clark, Kapana Chawla, David Brown, William McCool and Michael Anderson.
But why take them, Azrael, when there are so many who would seem to deserve it more?
All must confront me eventually, child. The only question which your kind -must- answer is the manner in which you spent your allotted time.
But what about those who say that this is an example of hubris, a justified punishment for pride?
They are on the road to having their name expunged in blackness. Let them take heed from the example of Job's comforters.
Hell begins the day that God grants you the vision to see all that you could have done, should have done, and would have done, but did not do-Goethe

Insert Sam Adams quote here
Gosh, like, war is so evil.
I am here to protect you from the terrible secret of self...
George Orwell was right
Gosh, like, war is so evil.
loathing and false consciousness...
"Under no circumstance will we fight for King and Country" Oxford Union 1933
Gosh, like, war is so evil.
...your inaction and moral bankrupcy is not responsible for these deaths, your factual errors will be forgotten.

"Silent Genocide" (THWAP) "The Facts Will Never Be Known" (THWAP)...
I see that Professor Chomsky is still working on his Afganistan left lobe lobotomy

Hello, little yellow oppressed THIRD-WORLD person! How may I best pontificate about your American-caused plight?
My name is Anime Anima, and I happen to be an AMERICAN, thank you.

Oh, God, another brainwashed gook. Excuse me, I've got to "preach about freedom, and preach about truth at $10,000 dollars a show."
You will need something to console yourself with after the world, once again, refuses to conform to your willful stupidity. [cf., Cambodia, East Timor (rejects Marxism), Iraq and Afganistan]

The Loony Left's Linguist Strikes!
Must keep lobotomizing self. Fascism must triumph!
Ah, we see Professor Chomsky is at it again!

"(Iraq had) a horrible monster running it but not a threat to anyone."
Except for the 300,000 dead in mass graves throughout the country
Chomsky on liberating Iraq:
"It takes real talent to fail in this endeavour."
It takes a genuine ability for self-deception to associate Baathist thugs with freedom fighters, but, then again, he never really liked the East Timorese either...

Anima Anime takes it, so you don't have to.
More dead pigs...hehehehehe
Oh, God. I'm stuck in astral limbo with Ted Rall's filthy psyche.
http://www.ucomics.com/rallcom/2002/03/04/
God, I loved 9/11. I practically orgasmed at the thought of those capitalist pigs getting what they deserved.
We noted your compassion for their spouses, Ted.

Yeah, now I'm pretending that I'm an Iraqi 'freedom fighter.' FASCISM ROOLS!
Hold that thought, Ted. Let me find my M-16 and I'll play "coalition soldier eliminating a totalitarian thug."
