You see a lot of stuff about how we are all so polarised and it is all social media's fault. The second half, at least, is nonsense. The fault lies with the mainstream. Once upon a time bone fide revolutionaries were household names. They were on TV and writing regularly in the mainstream press. My favourite example is Jean Genet, who in Sep 1977 defended the Baader-Meinhof in the pages of Le Monde. Now the BBC has a meltdown because Bob Vylan called for death to an army which is carrying out a genocide.

One result is that really quite normal political views seem extreme. The second is that the establishment is much more extremist as it has no space for criticism, let alone deviance.

Another result, I think, is a hardening of views that are outside of the mainstream, which is to say almost all dissenting views, because their is no space for open debate, let alone polemic.

This song is twenty years old next month. Came drifting thru my head the other day, for one reason or another.

"Oh those beautiful boys,
Kings and queens and criminal queers..."

I never fell madly in love with CocoRosie, but this tune has always been poignant for me.

Today in Labor History April 15, 1986: Author Jean Genet died on this day. Genet was a novelists, political activist and petty criminal. His book, The Thief’s Journal (1949), relates his experiences as a young prostitute and thief. That same year, the authorities tried to sentence him to life in prison for his ten convictions. Jean Cocteau, Jean-Paul Sartre and Pablo Picasso successfully petitioned the government on his behalf. In 1968, Genet was censored in the U.S. and expelled from the country after they refused him a visa. But he returned in 1970, upon an invitation by the Black Panthers. He stayed three months, giving lectures and attending the trial of Huey Newton. Later that year, he went to Palestine and visited refugee camps. He supported U.S. political prisoners Angela Davis and George Jackson. He also supported the anti-prison, anti-police brutality work of Michel Foucault, in France.

"PHOTO BOOTH"
by John Greyson
was much more than my expectation..

Queer, Political, Info to connect, Opera. many famous people like Netanyahu, Tramp, and stars around them, Eurovision etc are mentioned with being making fun.
Judith Butler appears too.

he collages present action and many memories from cinema in the split images.

I was sorry to watch without subtitles, but in film, #JeanGenet 's "Prisoner of Love" and Penguins are important and summoned again and again.

Please check it out.

Il y a tout juste 12 ans : on a vu Sombres et superbes Bonnes au Parvis : C’est un bijou de noirceur que le Parvis nous a présenté jeudi et vendredi dernier. Avec « Les bonnes » de Jean Genet, c’est dans un grand malaise que le spectateur est plongé.
