Even worse, it seems clear to me that news outlets squash stories of self immolation. They did the same with the ‘activist’ who did it on earth day a few years ago, and it wouldn’t surprise me to find out that major media outlets have had the same mandate to hide these stories since vietnamese monks were doing it to protest the vietnam war.
Sounds like harlan ellison’s “i have no mouth and i must scream” but in a lame chud way
I was trying to read Anti-oedipus by Deleuze& Guattari, but now I’m actually reading their “what is philosophy” since I was pretty fucking lost. Maybe not lost, but not exactly prepared for the density.
I’ve been saying all marketing is just black magick. Manipulation, lying, hypnosis, etc. Makes sense to me, anyway.
I have a random fun fact about beelzebub…
There’s some dispute, but Baal zebub seems to have been a derogatory term used by ancient israelites against the philistine deity, Ba’al (lord), calling him baal zebub, or the lord of flies.
Occult circles have demonized the figure over time, but yea. Ancient racists who thought of the philistines as pests, and blatantly insulted their religion by renaming their lord to ‘lord of the flies’.
