Re: <nettime> what exactly is breaking?

[sebastian@rolux.org]

a week+ after felix' orignial posting, i'm quite certain that
what is breaking is the consensus that the disintegration of
the united states of the middle of north america should fill
anyone with horror. distant observers, maybe. but the actors,
people in the streets? it all looks quite joyful to me, i have
to admit, and resolute and responsible and determined to win.

maybe read this: http://piratecinema.org/screenings/20200429
(april 29), and/or google: game of thrones walk of shame
minneapolis. things are moving rather quickly these days.



then i thought: don't post to nettime at 3 am, sleep over it.
here is what i woke up to:
