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
