So, I gave a little speech about art, and war. The Internationale Agentur für Freiheit, a Berlin art and cultural association, asked me to do that to open their exhibition,
Make Art Not War. I couldn't turn them down.
As my readers may have noticed, I haven't had very much to say about "The War on Hamas," or "The War on Gaza," or "The Liquidation of Gaza," or whatever you want to call it. (It doesn't look like much of a "war" to me, but then, nothing really has for quite a while.)
I wrote about it in
October and
November of last year. And I said a few things about it in my speech. But, mostly, I've been trying to keep my mouth shut. I don't have much to contribute to the ... well, I can't really call it a discussion, or debate, or an argument. It feels like people screaming slogans into each other's faces, accusing each other of this and that, and calling each other names, and so on. Which ... I get why people are inclined to do that. I'm not. But I get why other folks are. So, I think it's best if I just shut my pie hole (as much as possible) and let folks do that.
It isn't going to change what's happening. GloboCap (or whatever you call the system we're all living under) has been occupying, destabilizing, and restructuring the Middle East for decades. It's not going to stop. It is going to continue. As
the restructuring of the West is going to continue.GloboCap doesn't have anything else to do.
Anyway, before I ramble on any further, here's the English version of the speech I gave at the exhibition. Many thanks to those of you who attended ... and apologies again for my German. I'll get the hang of it one of these days.
Comment: Whether or not anyone realizes it, the fracas is a good thing. Anything that delays the implementation of the lunatic Net Zero policy is a plus for common people.
