forever smile for the camera

fig1a: martial fashion

you wont see this on a paris runway any time soon

well

probably not

there are few depths to which corporations wont sink to turn your head

so anyway
this photo causes a stir
probably mostly in the media if at all in the usa
but maybe with the public in france
who knows im not french
this french general has de gall to say
something along the lines of

this isnt indicative of the french intervention in mali

because
you know
war is an industry
its spokespeople
are all

pr

promise
every time you hear a talking head
talking bout some conflict
humanitarian intervention
successfully blown up brown folks alleged terrorist baby eaters
remote controlled precision slaughter

youre being sold something
an image a paradigm
a narrative
its like a commercial

root commerce
well
you know better than to believe that
right

mister african soldier worker shame on you
for covering your face with the true face of your profession
revealing
apocalyptizing
frances efforts for what it really is
a white mans war
paving space for capital

we dont pay you to showcase truth

!

kill something already

yours for the revolution
forbidden books
