Die
griechische »Bewegung der
Empörten« ist ein Faktor in der
europäischen Politik, der sich nicht mehr
ignorieren lässt. Sie treibt derzeit die
Entscheidungsapparate vor sich her.

"On May 22nd, a week after thousands of people
across Spain turned a series of demonstrations
into massive sleep-ins that are still holding
strong, the conservative PP won a historical
victory in the municipal and regional elections."

adam curtis on bbc:
'"On Facebook and Twitter, you are performing to
attract people – you are dancing emotionally, on a
platform created by a large corporation. People's
feelings bounce back and forth – happy Stakhanovites, ignoring and denying
the system of power. It's like Stalin's socialist
realism. Both Twitter and socialist realism are
innocent expressions of the ideology of the time,
which don't pull back and show the wider thing
they are part of. We look back on socialist
realism not as innocent but as a dramatic
expression of power; it expresses the superiority
of the state, which was the guiding belief at the
time. I think sometime in the future people will
look back at the millions and millions of
descriptions of personal feelings on the internet
and see them in similar ways. This is the driving
belief of our time: that 'me' and what I feel
minute by minute is the natural centre of the
world. Far from revealing that this is an ideology
– and that there are other ways of looking at
human society – what Twitter and Facebook do is
reinforce the feeling that this is the natural way
to be."
post by marina vishmidt, who adds: he further
opines that the revolutions in the Middle East
(and presumably would say the same about the
Spanish gatherings now) are part of this same
phenomenon inasmuch as they ask for 'freedom' and
'democracy' but have no vision of the kind of
society they want to establish, which I guess goes
back to his ideas about 'negative freedom',
'possessive individualism' and rights as a
privative concept in The Trap, et.al.
