Late capitalism implies that it has eroded episteme The 21st century, and this project is in full bloom precisely because technoscience gives it progressive momentum, reproducing it endlessly, controlling natural resources, human population, megacities, and to a large extent, the authorities leading the countries that represent the powers should be included.
Pure power has maximized the stakes, the current global context explicitly shows this: the two blocs are tightening and raising the 'prices' in negotiations aimed at redistributing forces and power. Russia is handing over bases in Syria, in return it is gaining them at the North Pole; America will very likely get Greenland and it is not excluded Canada, China probably Taiwan.
The White House and Oval Office are filled with powerful people, each of whom literally trades political power, expecting in return for their power in capital to be in circulation, and a relevant competitor in the global market. Rivalry can and is expected within the ultra-net heavyweights, and this is a real threat to the Republicans, who are not much guaranteed by the power gained by the American people in the elections, who then expressed deep distrust of liberal democracy, which obviously did not sin, but simply was not based on the principles it constantly emphasized. - So what if democracy isn't actually in crisis, but is just now getting a chance under the rule of Republicans who are openly abolishing it??
Jacques-Alain Miller writes that - men are so cowards that they even conceal how cowardly they are. It follows that, in fact, the master is not a man, although he has always presented himself and pretended to be so throughout history. Rather, it would be Woman - an unsymbolized order that escapes the phallologocentric and capitalist Signifier, as a reality that arouses true fear. in the skin is that so in 'A matter of style' emphasized how Niche feared a woman who was not an affirmer, but rather a "castrator" (let's add: like Lou Salome or Carmen). Wasn't the same case with Picasso?
Now, when we look at what the fake Democrats and liberals have done, as well as what the real goal is for the Republicans and conservatives, the real fear for one as well as the other is - uncompromising Democrats, radical in their programmatic, emancipatory mission, who do not recognize progress in the naked power that the world is facing. Suffering the effects of destruction of unfathomable proportions. And another division of power that is pushing us into irretrievable territory.
The weakening of the dollar's dominance is also noticeable in the abolition of those cashed-in ideologies that were in circulation as the globalist model, which acted immediately behind it as a complement to the repressive one. Or: Where war was not exported, human rights were imported, of which, of course, the common man had nothing.! Except for interventions in the public space through various non-partisan and other movements and organizations, each of which was paid well to promote stories that, we will agree, are appealing: equality, solidarity, togetherness, in contrast to the entrenched power that looked at it with derision, the European Union itself has shown so many times in the past decade that it is run by corporate capital and leading banks, the IMF and the World Bank, politics, and not a culture of difference and the spirit of multiculturalism.
The calculation, therefore, of the current government in the USA is, however, quite simple: liberalism as an international breakthrough is no longer profitable (the global policeman is retiring!). If, therefore, the hegemonic order sought to exist on the spread of universal values, that has now come to an end, especially since the USA has put itself first. (lacan claims that woman is the Other in relation to herself, if it was the USA, that policy is over for the time being. She now refuses to recognize in the rest of the world the Other to whom she wanted and managed to be a desire, that which she strives for with all her might and which again eludes us, therefore - small object a.)
Yes: it was (like) a liberal democracy as such Show, a politics that appealed, based on a narrative of general progress and human rights that are sacred; with the interruption of that, comes - a political trauma necessary if we are to try to return to reality, in which, obviously, we have not been for a long time. So isn't the transition to the networks an implication that the desert of reality is regulated by the degree of manipulation and control in which everything takes place - as if my life was something that happened but didn'tsystem. (EE Kamings)
Capitalism is happening, everything else is postponing it.
In a Parisian café - a place of proven intellectual conversations, in the past - the inexhaustible topic of how art happens despite the customs of the environment, official politics, social circumstances, something that the American painter had only just arrived at in society, was discussed. vists summed it all up with a definition: Art is happening..
Yes, now in the technological dimension, from chatbots to high production, it is performed perhaps as, let's say, at best, anti-capitalist resistance, but no less as technoscience dependent on capitalism itself. After all, what makes it visible, recognized and acknowledged?
The sharp sermon that Jeffrey the Big Lebowski gives to the Californian coolie, The Dude - a scene from the cult film The Big Lebowski - shows us how the capitalist views the majority, assuming that we are, roughly speaking, all scum, incapable of coping with life and the world around us. Thus capitalism controls through guilt, because we often fail to keep in mind what is essential: the truth that the minority holds absolutely everything, which means that the rest are left with the rest and a way to make ends meet; really, realistically speaking, what is left for a migrant who has lost everything, if he reaches Europe, except to rent out his labor at the lowest price, or to sell himself profitably as a talent (the case of the young football player) Lamin Jamalom who experienced life on the edge of existence).
Such an ugly reality was hidden by scenes like the one he recently made with his "partner" (or, more precisely, an experiment in the world of show business) at the Grammy Awards. Kanye West, having given the order to take off his coat, throw it off, since it will certainly have a great effect.
If, in addition to what has been said, we were to watch some segments of the opening of the Paris Olympics with the film Megapolis (2024), it is not ruled out that what the rapper staged and to which the police reacted by removing them from the ceremony was not already announced: Hollywood public figures are constantly broadcasting a bully-like content, hopeless and empty, in which we see a project worth several hundred million collapse in a tragedy that is, first and foremost, terribly agonizing.
When we read how post-war states were created in conjunction with NATO and the World Bank under the ownership of the American hegemon, it is not surprising that this tearing at the seams of the leading power is taking place in the name of an attempt to revive autocracy through the image of Donald Trump.
What is he really a reconstruction of? If we take into account that he has surrounded himself with the richest American individuals who are not and cannot be advocates of any value. Except for the one that is first and foremost in the eyes of the modern world: power!
Therefore, international liberalism was only and only, to be honest, a facade that cracked the moment the so-called war on terrorism directed by a global policeman, whose goal justified the extremely illiberal means of a struggle that had more than monstrous episodes and terrible epilogues.
So what, after a planetary policeman? What ideology will we have at work? Or maybe everything will be preceded by an end, an apocalypse that, considering the events of these interesting times, would not be a black event.
