Az én kérdésem nem az, hogy így van-e, mert úgy látom, így van, és nem az, hogy helyes-e, hogy így van, mert ez buta kérdés, hanem az, hogy hogyan ismerjük meg annyira ezt az eszköztárat, hogy ne csak alkalmazni tudjuk, de legyőzni is. My question isn’t whether the following description is correct, because I see that it is. My question isn’t, either, whether it is right or wrong, because it would be a silly question. My question is: how can we understand so thoroughly these tools in order to not only use but if needed also defeat them. Summary: “Let your words speak not through their meanings,but through them against whom they are used.” A mafia state as conceived by an advertising executive is arguably more dangerous than a communist superpower because ideology is no longer the wardrobe of politics but rather an interchangeable and contradictory set of acces- sories. “Let your words speak not through their meanings,” wrote Czeslaw Milosz in his poem “Child of Europe”, “But through them against whom they are used.” How does one fight a system that embraces Tupac and Instagram but compares Obama to a monkey and deems the Internet a CIA invention? That censors online information but provides a happy platform to the founder of WikiLeaks, a self-styled purveyor of total “transparency”? That purports to disdain corporate greed and cel - ebrates Occupy Wall Street while presiding over an economy as corrupt as Nigeria’s? That casts an Anschluss of a neighboring country using the grammar of both blood-and-soil nationalism and anti-fascism? This is why American social reactionaries, Australian anarchists, British anti-imperialists and Hungarian neo-Nazis all find so much to favor in the application of Pu - tinism, at home and abroad. Putinism is whatever they want it to be. interpretermag/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/The_Menace_of_Unreality_Final.pdf
