When Censorship Works,
You Don't Know it.
Don't fool yourself into thinking that this, or anything else you
are exposed to, is "uncensored". The cynical and naive hacks who
promote "culture" for their own self-interest use the idea of
anti-censorship to lend their
adopted discourses credibility, and to once again mystify a passive
audience. An audience correctly expected to consume any controlled
spectacle which is appropriately framed. Production is
censorship. All events take
the place of something else. Undesired, unmentioned, unimagined.
What you will be exposed to today is designed to reinforce the
functioning of a particularly narrow identity - one which is not
only out of touch with really interesting "human culture", but
also oblivious to the unmediated unitary experiences which lie
outside of it. In short, a set of redundant gestures completely
in support of the status quo, creating another illusion of freedom -
repressive tolerance.
