The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity but the one that removes the awareness of other possibilities, that makes it seem inconceivable that other ways are viable, that removes the sense that there is an outside.

Not a book, but an announcement of a series of articles by the Quietus investigating extreme politics in underground music
http://thequietus.com/articles/25682-fa ... etal-noiseWith the far right in ascendence across the globe, there's never been a more necessary time to investigate fascist and racist infiltration, current and historical, into the underground culture we love. In an introductory essay to a new Quietus series, Dylan Miller explains why we're doing it.

And I did read it whole. Interesting and I can't find why it cause such madness on left-side? Like some issues that he presented in book published in 2015 wasn't true (sponsoring thus influencing on many schools and universities, sport clubs and so).Bartek wrote:I don't know if read whole, but i'm curiose, and i like people poking other in eyes.
Houellebecq certainly knows what's going around, can read emotion of mob and sociteties, he can write some catching phrases, cynical, sarcatis as true.

Hope it's a copy with Rage in it, he let it fall out of print a few years back, no new edition of The Bachman Books contains Rage and I very much doubt you'll see a new edition of it ever again.eastmidswhizzkid wrote:
