The Situationist List
fyi: books, audio interviews, and articles that I'd recommend for an 'idea derive'
The following books are under
my review after acquisition in April. I'd be willing to share/discuss
w/r/t appropriating/synthesizing their 'kernels of truth' into a more robust social critique and intervention.
Mere scathe is useless to everyone, albeit the characterized self-delusion of "resistance", more
commonly called an 'absolutist militantism' or 'organified idiotology'. For those who choose to dance
dialectically, my 'card' is open.
Regarding the irrationality of postmodernity's prided accomplishment — cynicism — and the ensuing
slaughter of utopian vision:

which are neither [absolutely] right nor wrong
