Hi Brian and Nettimers, Good to see some caring and careful analysis for imagining what the global citizens ( and non-citizens ) can do to defend ourselves and each other now in the era of the re-throned Agent Orange ! … As media artivists + hacktivists, one crucial angle of resistance we’ve noticed and find very disturbing and off-target is this ACCEPTANCE of The (S)election Shamocracy. As if this was a failure of this or that: Harris/Biden, Dems, Lame Campaigns, Voters, etc, There was NO FREE NOR FAIR ELECTION ! There is NO MANDATE ! The Grand-Guignol Democracy Theater IS NOT DEMOCRACY ! … „Democracy“ is probably not even a proper answer to any question related to how to exit these populist power grabs in the hyper-industrialized age of the billion-dollar brain-parasites infestation + overdose + vulture krapitalism. We must REFUSE a mediated stench-of-death Fabrik and the fully Man-U-fractured Consent ! And the Colluding Duopoly's Repeatedly Stolen Elections ! The Dems Vs Reps Shitshow is a nauseating *Spectacle* that the billionaire-owned media use to herd in the masses in such a way so as to eliminate any real opposition, and pre-empt any real demands + real causes + real actions for change ! So if anyone still says things like „a clear majority“ or „trump won over the other party“ or Harris might have won, if only…. Send em to this link to the poetic jam master Gil Scot-Heron, to get their brains rewired ! This pretty ancient media specimen still has some incredible lyrical fire, and a few extra footnotes spliced in... ( sorry for the Gootube link ) ... "First thing i want to say is Mandate my Ass !" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBu2Dz9NZMI This (s)election shit’s been the same game - at the very least - since 1982 and the times of Cowboy Ray-Gun ! Except of course for all the new high-tech + web delivery of The Cubicle-ized Brainwash ... and the much more accelerated layers of complicity, corruption, collusion and xtra neo-lib-fascism to boot ! … One point here is that, from a media activist and/or escape artists’ perspective, new strategies will have to be developed and launched to unlock and subvert and jam and/or evacuate the Bullshit Narrative Matrix ! We might say this will probably entail far less tech solution, but heaps of new rebellious and disobedient attitudes mixed with direct action… Currently revisiting Aric McBay’s „Full Spectrum Resistance“ ( 2019) for some good guidance + concrete ideas about how to FIGHT and WIN … w/ inspirations + anecdotes +urgencies from ongoing indigenous (and other) mobilizations and movements. … for a new XLt Article, coming soon. Drop us an email if you would like to receive our newsletter ( w/o a pay-wall ). ... 4 more years of Agent Orange is STILL NOT AN OPTION ! In global solidarity against the rise of the fascist lunatics parade ! the XLterrestsrials p.s. NOW is a very crucial time to $$$upport independent and real opposition channels of information and communications ... otherwise we will continue to "Get Owned" and "Sold Down River" by the billionaire-owned matrix !

In this way, elections can supposedly be won by a party representing the repressive, militarist and above all plutocratic elites of a social order forged by triumphant neoliberalism and ready to maintain class privileges by whatever grotesque war it takes to keep empire alive.-- # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: https://www.nettime.org # contact: nettime-l-owner@lists.nettime.org
