   I would like to see him fired from his job, followed by an inability to keep up the mortgage payments, then a move to a small flat sponsored by a Stalinist Benevolent Fund, followed by an inability to keep up payments on said flat due to lack of work based on being universally reviled, followed by dying in a gutter from hypothermia and several bottles of poor quality Chinese booze.

   Didn’t Charlie Brooker come up with the phrase “wanking for pennies”? Is there any discussion where Charlie Brooker is not relevant in some way?

   I’m confused. On the one hand he says we should not intervene in these dpats in dusky countries of which we know nothing while on the other he says that we should publicise troubles in other dusty countries. Personally, I’m all for laying down the white mans’s burden. I don’t feel bad about the numbers of Muslims blown apart or deaded in these little local wars, I read the other day that death in such circumstances is martyrdom and they go straight to prison. We should rejoice for them.

   Sorry, Freudian slip in above post, it should have been ‘,,they go straight to PARADISE.’.

   When he is fired he could look for a job as a choreographer. He demontrates this ability with a neat dance from “the west’s care not to criticise China as a growing economic giant” to the collective chancelleries of the West … er…well… criticising China despite its economic ete etc. Is there no dictator that this guy doesn’t bend the knee to?

   It is beyond comment - he has become a parody of himself. Appalling.

    One thing I have always agreed on with more ultra extreme ‘pseudo-revolutionaries’ is that if and when a revolution ever occurs/happens the utmost need/necessity is to annihilate the stalinists first - then the social democrat elements, then the liberals - hunt them down street by street -up against the wall the lot of them. These people are the ones most likely to mount the counter-revolutionary offensive and are the most dangerous elements to any project of self-emancipation. Hoare is number one on my list tho’.

    A detournement…

    To be more primary about it…within the backward non-perfected wholeness that we ‘enjoy’ at present it is a method of propaganda, a method which reveals the wearing out and loss of importance of those spheres in which ideology projects itself into everyday life. It points to a possible future - one masked by current orthodoxies and ignorant economic piss and shit. It challenges the logic of a ‘pragmatism’ (that isn’t pragmatic) that opportunistically deploys ideas and beliefs in order to secure its place in the “things of this world” — that is to say, in order to get things done within the existing structures of access and privilege.

    Hate. Destroy. Kill. Move beyond the bounds set by our masters — not a matter of slave becoming slave-holder - a matter of freeing slaves and making slavery redundant.

    Fuck. I am being all lumpen at the moment. Please forgive me oh holy middle class betters. I should know my place in the world. I am so sorry for intruding on your space oh so clever fuckers and that.

    Anyway, I must be off now. My No Borders work is all part of a cunning working class racist plan and I have migrants to harass before dawn.
