my personal opinion... I know very little about Australian rock, but from what I know, thanks to the albums reviewed by supersoul and what I get from fest, worse, because you can't really talk about better regarding England, it's not what the English one is. now let's relativize everything as much as possible. aside from about twenty albums and ten bands, English rock is a colossal piece of shit and I'm not just talking about brit-pop... I'm talking about all of English rock.

so flist... I don't follow anyone blindly, much less the idiot you mentioned. I am this way because my mom and life made me this way. damn it... I believe that if people could do everything they wanted, the world would have ceased to exist a long time ago. growth is a combination of things. for example, development can lead to growth, but very often it is intentionally deceived and denied... just look at China. then we come to freedom. freedom? what is freedom? what do we know about freedom?

It would be nice to see how long it would take to win with Milan now? ;)

But you don’t have to share. I’m not seeking understanding, especially since I often struggle to comprehend things myself. What I’m saying is simple and elementary, and I always find it difficult to express it completely. Perhaps that's why I often speak by quoting others. The truth is one and it's ugly. We do not exist and we count for nothing. We are in chains, and we free ourselves of our chains for one day a year, and what is the purpose of that one day if those who come before are the same as those who follow? What’s the point of moving forward only to return to the times of Christian democracy with proportional representation and other nonsense that can only work in an educated nation and not in one as apathetic and ignorant as Italy? You see, I believe that development without growth is pointless, so what do I need cars, guns, computers, guitars, and electric ones for if it is not paired with growth? I am (and many of us were in the past... now everyone is so politically correct that they never say what they think) absolutely against development.

a trivial page with political references of astonishing mediocrity... I wonder, and indeed this is the problem: why do you leave physics to physicists, mathematics to mathematicians, and not leave, politicians included, politics to political scientists? obviously, communism is defined as a para-religion, and certainly, it doesn’t take this group to understand that. why? the reason is even simpler, and you certainly don’t need a degree to grasp it. every religion has a messianic message, and the central pivot of communism is the after, the always happy ending, just like in all religions. in the doubt of whose fault it is for such blatant mediocrity, I do not vote. bye

contemplation... have you read The Foam of Days? there's a passage that's almost identical to what you wrote and that you have partly replicated. I wonder why I think exactly like you!

<<Man will finally be able to center his entire existence on the contemplation of Beauty, and on the creation of Beauty. A world of artists and thinkers, finally liberated from the yoke, from the servitude of the Will to Power, which had always led them to the oppression of others>>... this is serious stuff, a bit taken from The Foam of Days, but serious it is. beautiful isis: you made me smile and I’ll keep it for the future... damn it’s good as a pseudo-offense. :)

Flinstone... I'm sorry that it's you saying something like that because, in addition to considering you a bit crazy (given your recent outbursts), I regarded you and still regard you as a cultured, informed user without prejudices. What I've written is just my view of the world, obviously influenced by my culture and my references... needless to say, Sanjuro can only be a reference if one is pretending to be a Messiah come to Earth. I don't believe in being a Messiah, and above all, real Messiahs always meet a bad end. So: obviously, I don’t follow in Sanjuro’s footsteps (what do I care about following in Sanjuro’s footsteps?), but rather those of the greatest intellects of modern times. What’s wrong with the fact that I don't care if a certain number of people die each year because they did something or because they killed someone? Can you imagine how many people I would like to see dead? I am who I am, and if you see in my comment among the few who, at least a little, care about social issues, I’ve inserted myself there too... needless to say, I'm looking for my future path in disengagement, but I don't see what you find so strange in my comment, especially you, who in the past criticized me for my allergy to democracy (so you shouldn't be surprised because you already know how I think)... damn me: I am always like this :)

But I want to say: with all the overpopulation in the world, with the Chinese discovering consumerism and driving the economy with coal, and when they realize about oil they'll consume on average every day what the global triad (North America, Europe, and Japan) does in a year, are we still worrying about the death penalty? Let them all kill themselves. The real problem, which everyone has, in their own small way, investigated (from Pasolini to Malthus, up to Céline), is that there are too many of us on this planet and we will always be more. As a little bourgeois Westerner, I wonder why should I care if a Chinese person dies for some nonsense? The social issues, let's be clear, are crashing down on us like a meteorite... everyone on TV talking about pensions: why? Because soon the majority of the electorate will be of retirement age, so how can we condemn any populist Berlusconian reflux that says this is the party of the youth? In short, we should invent or create a union of disengagement, of non-work, of non-thinking. Basically, we think about trivial things, deluding ourselves into being alive, but the reality is that we do not exist and we fool ourselves into thinking we exist because every now and then we are called to vote for some nonsense. To hell with the death penalty, to hell with democracy, to hell with religions, to hell with everything basically because there is no longer a distance between good and evil. History is cheerfully dead and buried, and I, in my little non-zombie hesitation, cheerfully opt out.

but who is it?
