laberspaß

[Lorentzen / Nicklaus]

 it's that millisonic suggesting that everybody who does not share the 
 assumptions of anglo-saxon language philosophy & so called "social 
 democratism", be that foucault, deleuze or luhmann, is somehow less human or at 
 least less democratic than the diskursverweser himself ... the so called 
 sloterdijk affair we had recently over here, was, actually, more a habermas 
 affair, since he blew the whole thing up by writing letters to friends of him 
 who work as journalist for the leading week papers/magazines 'spiegel' and 
 'zeit' & the next week the surprised audience heard of this oh so scandelous 
 "outflow of fascist rhethorics", a 'judgement' surprising for anybody who did 
 actually read sloterdijk's "regeln für den menschenpark" ... but then not so 
 surprising at all ... bad old jürgen - talking about protestant  
 self-righteousness - would fit well into that swedish government which, last 
 year or so, 'abolished' prostitution by a new law plus increasing the police  
 terror on the streets ... a few thousands horse-addicted whores lost their -  
 relatively safe and well-paid - jobs, went off to other ways of making money (- 
 very probably more problematic to society), became ill or invisible victims of 
 crime ... but hey, this is 'left' and even, so i've read, 'feministic'  
 politics, and one member of the swedish government, when i saw her on tv, was  
 very proud to tell the world that sweden is the first country in the world,  
 where prostitution is abolished ... congratulations! how i, being baptized and 
 raised up as a lutherist, love these protestant roots of mine when they become 
 political ... probably i'm biased here because of german history ... what? ach 
 ja, laberspaß ... he's an asshole, i don't like him ... & of course he fucked  
 up the director job with the mpi in starnberg in the 70s ... did cost the tax  
 payers dozens of millions and did damage to sociology ... btw, from a  
 comtemporary sociological perspective nearly everything habermas has written on 
 society is bullshit ... take, for example, another look at "technik und 
 wissenschaft als ideologie" which was, published in 1968 as a birthday present 
 for marcuse, some kinda bible for the protesting students: about 90 % of this 
 text is so wrong that, to pick up a formulation of karl kraus, not even the 
 contrary is true ... but of course - i try to stop myself here:could go on  
 with hate prose on this all day long - jürgen habermas is somehow important, 
 though in this very moment i cannot exactly remember why ... kfl
