kulturkampf style

the kulturkampf is determined to become more divisive and virulent...one supposes this can be accepted a priori...and the media will play its part and here's an interesting line of evidence that the media provide a product, not information...
the shrilly trumpist fox news network is asking about who is vaccinated and who isn't...they are a corporate entity in business to make money and they do so by pandering to the world-view of a subclass of americans...their public face is still privately subject to some regulation and if the staff is ill you can't run a crypto-fascist organization...a bit of conflict there...one hopes it might be illuminating for some...one has one's doubts...and in the crypto-fascist vein...
the covid state and its dimwit governor ( and, seemingly, damnfool judiciary ) want me to pay a visit...i believe i will take a pass...pound some daytona sand desantis...meanwhile in the product world, it is beginning to look like the advent of the"false and commercial festival"...at least in the new york times...
rochebobois ( from paris! land of sartre! ) is offering me furniture "made in europe" ( where exactly is unclear...perhaps from the economically desperate south east...sweat shops happen everywhere ) at steep discounts...economies struggle more than the theologians of greed would care to admit...
and over at the new york times style magazine "mens fashion issue" not only does the wit and wisdom of francis fukayama live on...
at long last a stylist at hermes ( veronique nichanian ) has discovered what it is a man wants...imagine my relief at finally being classified ( and next to a photo of $9305 worth of "mens fashion" )...
in terms of "what a man wants", dolce and gabbana must be joking...or someone has seriously slipped a pulley...either way we have come to my taking yet another pass...thanks anyway...
and to close out this screed, $12680 worth of "mens fashion" someone else can wear.
