Aww, don'tcha just love the bourgeois mainstream? I mean, ain’t they
precious and priceless? Isn’t their disingenuous, blithe,
untroubled faith in recieved opinion; and their unquestioning belief in the fundamental goodness and honesty of the world
they live in; just kind-of adorable? Like toddlers who treat Mummy and Daddy like all-knowing, ever-protective gods. And aren't they sweet the way they get all serious about pondering the eternal verities they take for granted, like the way little kids are when
they get all serious about a let’s-pretend game they’re playing.
I
mean, look at this...
Dostoyevsky’s characters “justify murder in the
name of
ideological beliefs” which, according to the BBC, means he “foresaw the
rise of the totalitarian state”.
Because it goes without saying that
‘democratic’ states never ever justify murder ideologically.
Nuh-uh.
The idea.
Mindless, vacuous, unconcerned contentment of this type is
sort-of cute, like the way cattle just mooch aimlessly around fields taking in the same sights over and over again, and happily munching on the cud.
