No Bullshit

The pro-Trump slogan "No More Bullshit" perfectly exemplifies the total and absolute incoherance of today's conservatism. It is the thing you call for when you are incapable of articulating actual grievances. Or are too cowardly to openly declare your xenophobic, nationalist racism. For those promoting this vacuous expression, Trump stands in opposition to all the things which...well...just aren't right...are in some way corrupt and un-American...veiled and obscure...but subverive. Academia, with all its jargon, science with all its studies, politicians (except Trump) with all their lies, the media with all its fakery, antifa with all their hoodies. Liberal elites (except for Trump) with all their pretensions and "isms": feminism, sexism, socialism, etc... All the data and facts that runs counter to "common sense" and tradition. These are all "bullshit". End of argument. You know who wasn't bullshitting? Ted Kaczyinsky. The una-bomber. Much of what he had to say in his manifesto was as incoherent as conservative ideology ( far better at math than psychology) but his critique of "technological- industrial society" was pretty spot on. Unchecked, this Promethian drive will leave nothing for the future. Capitalist Man is raging over the landscape in a catastrophic fury, and while sending letter bombs is not a strategy, something better happen. Soon. In a recent interview, Andreas Malm agreed with yours truly that the Breakfree action of 2016 was the most promising example of what needs to happen on a giant scale. Far from perfect in execution, but the right path. Ende Galende. Extinction Rebellion. Student Strike. All in one.
