the n y times raises the bar for consumerist propaganda





the palpitations on wall street are a marker of capital's inevitable contraction in the face of resource depletion and a mass of debt that far outweighs the world gross product ( irregardless of joe bidens earnest assurances to the new mandarins) and by extension is impossible to repay...reliable economic sources place the outside date for hyperinflation of the u s dollar at 2014...the political landscape is a cesspit of manipulative degenerates, disbarred lawyers, defrocked clerics, and used car salesmen from pomona...and there is a miasma of political suicide hovering over the swamps of whoretown as the kendo sticks and nail guns are being cleaned and oiled in anticipation of the debt reduction battles and the foregone conclusion that the automatic cuts written into the debt deal will go into effect because there can be no ideological rapproachement in congress thus dooming all those shits to town council pergatory...despite all this the fall style magazine of the n y times has either raised the bar on propaganda or lowered the standards of acceptable journalism ( if indeed such a thing is possible) by running a howler of an article entitled "youth quake: what do you wear when protest and mayhem rock your world? reports form three epicenters of street style: london, cairo, and tokyo." ( top photo is one accompanying this goebbelistic nonsense) christ on a bike people..one would have to consider that those struggling for their political future on the streets of egypt or overcoming an unacceptable political reaction to disaster in japan might be more concerned with events than what the n y times thinks of what they are wearing ( i never thought the n y times assumed that i was anything but an automaton programmed to shut up, consume, and be fucking grateful for the opportunity...but what can you expect from a yellow rag that gives the incomparably smug and arrogant dimwit thomas l friedman column space?)...what looters and arsonists in london are wearing ( and let me distinguish them from the crowds of the underclasses that have legitimate grievances with the excessive use of police power in their communities...violence begets violence...some thugs just took advantage of the situation because they thought someone else would take the heat) is of little interest except to the stylistas at the times who are always up to hawk some dreadful crap labeled "style" to the unwary and impressionable among us...not since capital turned earth day into a marketing bonanza has there been such a transparent, low-life piece of subhuman manipulation...the census of denizens of the longed for lake of fire has just expanded.
