#BattleRap of the Republic: #Twitter v. #Newspapers
T: “Cut the crap.”
News: “You have no idea. You have no accountability.”
T: “You’re biased repressive desublimators.”
News: “You don’t know shit. I’ve been doing this work since I was 18. Even before that. I was a paperboy.”
T: “Too much ‘get off my lawn’. Okay mother lover, repressive desublimation, which is operative in the sphere of higher culture, operates in the sexual sphere as well. Why do you think SCOTUS allows same sex marriage? Because it is no longer taboo. Now human liberty is a by-product of the social controls of technological reality. The legality of freedoms extend liberty while at the same time intensify domination…so maybe SCOTUS wasn’t wrong as it maintains their power as the final arbiter.”
News: “What the fuck? You’d never make it as a newsman in my day.”
T: “When was that? This book I’ve been reading about repressive desublimation was first published in 1954 by Herbert Marcuse in his book Eros and Civilization, and later in his most well-known work, One Dimensional Man, published ten years later. There’s a whole chapter on repressive desublimation.”
News: “We don’t publish that shit. We publish current events. Current events wiseguy. Freud is not current, he’s dead. He’s more dead than God is.”
T: “Well, I’m done. By the way, you ever hear that song by Elton John?”
News: “What song?”
JOHN RUBENS is no Mother Teresa.
