yeah, i don’t know, how anyone can single out any player, kissenger in this case, in a system based exclusively on coersion, in one form or another, is fucking beyond me.
take bill clinton, just fer instance, from everything that i know, he engineered iraq sanctions that lead directly or indirectly to the deaths of about .5 million iraqis, i guess.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_sanctions
not that i really give a fuck one way or the other.
but the problem with pointing a finger at someone is twofold.
first, it just serves in allowing to the pointer to feel good about him or herself. as in: look, that’s him, not me.
second, it serves to deflect attention from a system, probably hardwired, that is based purly and inherantly on violence.
so, i’d still have to hold my opinion that c. hitchens is just not worth reading, and the sooner he’s dead, the better of we’ll all be.

“so, i’d still have to hold my opinion that c. hitchens is just not worth reading”
You are certainly right in that everyone is entitled to his or her opinion.
And I, strictly for my own edification, am grateful Hitchens did the footwork and connected the dots on Kissinger. The big difference between Kissinger and Clinton, IMHO, is that Clinton didn’t make a career out of inciting genocide and then exploiting it for personal financial gain.
September 30, 2010 at 11:08 pm
Bif
True, Kissinger was one of many. So was Barry Bonds. Depending on the outrage, the writer picks the biggest douchebag in the bunch and explores/reconstructs the systemic douchebaggery around him that made it possible. Someone has to be the example of the worst case result and the surprise is often how far the douchebag sphere extends outward to snare the accomplices, enablers, imitators, etc. No surprise the public and media are often in some way guilty of egging the evil on. These things can be done with great skill and insight, to the point of revealing some larger truth about a society, or just people in general. This can be useful for anticpating the rhymes of tomorrow’s history.
As far as Hitchens, I sometimes was on board with his views and sometimes not, but I always enjoyed his mastery of language and words. More than anything I just like the way he writes. I don’t give too much weight on whether he sold me on a notion, but respect the skill with which he tried.

well, of course i’d disagree. just as another ferinstance, in addition to his well documented direct role in iraq, bc was instrumental in legitemizing the wto and in solidifying the role of the world bank. both of these organizations work explictly to to funnel funds to the elite of the world. the function of all elites is to exploit the rank and file. this of course can and does include genocide(not that i, personally, have anything against genocide, as long as i’m not being the one genocided.) the clintons are very rich at this point, probably richer than hk, but i don’t know that for a fact.

if this was only the case, but it’s just not true as a general principle in anyway that i can detect anyway. i mean shit, just look at recent events, and the actions right in front of you. for example, lot’s and lot’s of people make the case that bush 1 was a war criminal of sorts(not that i agree). so what does bc do other than more of the same. famously, these efforts were escalated by bush2 and again condemed by many. so what does bho do other than more of the same? the players and specifics may get rotated and shook around a little, but the beat goes on is all.

“well, of course i’d disagree.”
and of course I’d be shocked if you didn’t…
“the function of all elites is to exploit the rank and file.”
I’m sure none of them–whomever they are (even Henry the K)–would think that’s what they’re doing. Why, just yesterday, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett were over in Beijing at a private billionaires’ dinner they organized to strongarm your favorite Chinese moguls into giving their fortunes to charity.
” this of course can and does include genocide…”
You have a point on the genocide aspect–maybe it’s better to put folks out of their misery than to let them suffer through a life of pain. [However, if the reincarnation supporters are right, there will be hell to pay down the pike.]
“first shut off the sound track, including hitchens if he’s fucking you up, then just just take look at what people are accutally doing…”
I’m way ahead of you on this one, dave.
In the early ’70s, (no doubt when you were busy asserting your alpha-maleness and spreading the “dave gene” around) whenever Nixon would appear on the tube, I’d immediately jump up, turn the sound down completely, and slap on a Rolling Stones or Eric Burden & War Album.
Hitchens doesn’t screw me up. In fact, I don’t agree with most of what he writes (he seems to have a hair up his butt about most things) but I did have an epiphany when I read his HK pieces, years apart and years ago. It just confirmed what I had felt, with no empirical evidence, 30 years before.
You do have a great point about turning down the noise–something I definitely need to do regarding the Internet. As Sting said, “Too much information!”

I’m sure none of them–whomever they are (even Henry the K)–would think that’s what they’re doing.
well, they might or might not use a different word than exploit. they might be “providing leadership” in thier code, or they might be sick of looking at all the stupid fuck faced eaters, or ect; we’re just going down the rabbit hole of semantics.
the only real point is that they are as much a part of an overall “system”, for lack of a better word, as you and/or i are. and, that system rests exclusively on the ability to exert violence. so, the bottum line is that hk, just for example, simply plays his part within a system of violence, just like you and me. hence, to condem hk, is to condem yourself.
the caveat being, there is no fucking way for any of us to escape the system. the system must fall apart. just like a hurricane falls apart over land or cold water.

so, then why do you find his actions repugnant? to me, he was just fullfilling his functions within the empire to the best of his abilities. how can that stir such feelings? do you hate your auto mechanic cause he fixes cars that spew poisonous gases, suck up resouces, require that people like hk constantly have go out and work at securing those resources? and then wants to get paid for it? and tells his wife and kids what a good hard working guy he is? what a fucking hypocite. i mean that guy really sucks, to me personally anyway.

now, i’ll be the first to admit that people, and most other living things, use circumstance to thier best percieved advantage. but to think that hk, or bc, is responsible for thier own circumstance, anymore than you or i are, is, dare i use the word, yes, it’s fucking retarded.

thank you ee, you made my evening. i can now go have a drink and watch a mike judge movie with good conscience.

here ee, i’ll give you one more hint: someone gotta play the role.

dave
ok, i’m sorry, now that i’ve stopped rolling around on floor and shit, please, maybe you can address one more very pointed question for me? leaving hk and bc aside for the moment, the mechanic, do you think it’s his intention to preserve a machine that spews noxious gasses, degrades the environment, consumes resources and, sorry, causes, i guess, both hk and bc and thier various interchageable standins, to go out and commit genocide on a regular basis? or, is all that an unitended consequance of his actions?

Yeah, God forbid we should be held accountable for choices we make. As if Bill and Hill and Hanky-Panky didn’t know exactly what they were getting into under the guise of becoming “public servants” or “celebrities” or serial killers, for that matter.
“no, common, just admit that you’re envious and get it fucking over with.”
As I said above, if you say so, then it must be.
“you are fucking rediculous.”
It’s all the system’s fault.
“i can now go have a drink and watch a mike judge movie with good conscience.”
But, dave, how can that be? You don’t have a conscience.

Can a “thinly-veiled sense of superiority” be confused with pragmatic indifference?
Just wondering…

well, i would guess they knew that a willingness to commit genocide goes along with such social roles, and so does anyone else with even half a fucking brain. isn’t that the point, that people in such social positions must, have no choice, but to commit genocide? just like a mechanic must fix cars, a president, at least with these particular set of circumstance, must go to war, must commit genocide?

here, like i said a long time back in this thread, turn off the soundtrack and take a look at what people are doing. that dosen’t mean turn off nixon and turn on the fucking rolloing stones. Anyway, despite all the rehtoric of freedom, feed the fucking poor, heroism, etc., here’s the record, at least the way i see it:
bho – war/genocide torture
bush2 – genocide/war/torture
bc – genocide/war/torture
bush1 – torture/genocide/war
regan – jellybeans/war/genocide/real bad acting/torture
carter – not sure
nixon – hk/war/genocide/torture/tapes
johnson – genocide/war/torture
jfk- more of the same with a good looking wife
etc.
etc.
etc.
what might all that tell you? what do you want do, point your waggy little stupid finger at the whole fucking world?

It’s all the system’s fault.

In dave’s case, Remus, does it matter? At least he stopped obsessing/ranting about anal sex for a few days. (You’re so predictable, dave.)

well, since you can’t seem to hold a thought, or even have a thought that hasen’t been screened for appropriate content, or have an adult conversation about anything else, i figured that you might want to talk about anal sex. i mean shit(pun intended) you were the one who brought it up, not me. so what do you think of anal sex. i like it. in fact, i’ve been known to lick an asshole or two. how about you? do any of your cocktail party buddies like anal sex? what’s the gossip? maybe you could hook me up. i’m all ears.
October 6, 2010 at 1:46 pm
dave
i mean fuck, if you want to talk about our system of genocide and ecocide, and roles of the various players involved, i be happy to. but you can’t seem to keep up. then you get all frustrated and mad and shit. so anal sex it is, it’s omething we can all agree on afterall.
October 6, 2010 at 1:50 pm
dave
ee, we should hook up for anal sex. i fucking guaratee that it will be more fun than any cocktail party you ever went to. i’ll even give you an enema first, no shit( ilove making puns, it the highest form of humor, as we all know).
October 6, 2010 at 1:53 pm
dave

October 6, 2010 at 2:03 pm
dave
