Cut Quotes - page 75
Jon Ralston: So you're saying if people lose their jobs through no fault of their own, as many have during this recession, Sharron Angle's solution is to cut their unemployment benefits so low so they're somehow gonna go out and find jobs that don't exist? How does that make any sense?
Sharron Angle: There are jobs that do exist. That's what we're saying, is that there are jobs. But those are entry-level jobs.
Sharron Angle
Ideology critique, having become respectable, imitates surgical procedure: ... The opponent is cut open in front of everyone, until the mechanism of his error is laid bare. ... Ideology critique is now interested not in winning over the vivisected opponent but in focusing on the "corpse,” the critical extract of its ideas. ... Those who previously did not want to engage in enlightenment will want to do so even less now that they have been dissected and exposed by the opponent.
Peter Sloterdijk
"Philosophical” ideology critique is truly the heir of a great satirical tradition, in which the motif of unmasking, exposing, baring has served for aeons now as a weapon. But modern ideology critique-according to our thesis has ominously cut itself off from the powerful traditions of laughter in satirical knowledge.
Peter Sloterdijk
This is a vicious circle. This is the fishmarket. This is working for survival. This is survival of the fastest. This is the Darwinist capital of the capitalist world. A head afraid is a head haunted. A head haunted is a head hunted. Run for your life. Run from the guillotine to a head hunter who saves your head and raises your salary-so you'll be caught in the red of the fishmarket buying gadgets to distract your fragile imagination that is cut in the red market of blood-running and escaping-running again-changing your resume to update the fear you feel of being unemployed tomorrow-in the streets-and from there to welfare-and from there to begging.
