Nobility of the Image 11

So, of course working people hate celebrities. Celebrities hate them!

Which brings us to Bosh. Liberals simply cannot understand why Middle Americans would vote for someone who sends them to war, poisons their environment, and allows their jobs to be sent to Mexico. Of course, liberals forget that Bill Clinton did all of the same things! Again, it is just the top and the bottom now; same as it ever was.

What Bish does is to respect these people. He respects their lives, and their values, and their existence. And he doesn’t suck up to celebrities like Mr. Bill did. Of course, he is full of shit. But, after a steady diet of contempt from the Nobility of the Image, why wouldn’t these people side with someone who stands up for them?

Finally, of course many “working class values” are worth questioning. But, the left’s inability to understand that people may be Christian because they love Christ, and not simply because they hate gays, or that they might vote for Bush because he speaks their language, and not because they are stupid, is arrogant. Also, the left has to wake up to the fact that there is no tangible benefit for these people in voting Democrat. They are going to be fucked either way; why not be fucked by someone who calls you “sweetheart” instead of someone who calls you “bitch”? For most people, the difference between the left and the right is as significant as wallpaper in a prison.

Moreover, the Nobility of the Image needs to realize that it exists because of an unequal class structure, and so can never call itself radical. The same goes for the Universities. We exist because the rich want to ensure that their children, and not the children of the working class, will become rich. We critique the unequal society that we are the lynchpin of.

Lastly, it is high time that we realize that contempt for the mainstream media is class contempt and, for many, is more valid than contempt for the government. The figure in the deodorant ads has a more tangible effect on people’s lives than the figure in the White House. Wars in the future will be fought over images, or over adjectives. Those who consider themselves to be oppressed will have to gain control over the production of images, and reclaim mental space through violence. Expect the random and senseless act of cruelty to punctuate the boredom of meaninglessness. Forever.
