saturday (deep ocean)(time of the monsters)(morbid symptoms appear)

 'our civilisation is like a thin layer of ice upon a deep ocean of chaos and darkness' - werner herzog

so horsemouth learned from a nosferatu video (and so it seems to horsemouth). 

we are heading into interesting times once again (gawdeplus). 

gaza. ukraine. yemen. sudan. syria (soon again, probably). these are our starting points. 

but on top of the thin layer of ice someone has added a clownshow.  for from the 20th of january we will be entering  trumpworld. 

'the old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters...' but this is not gramsci, it's a zizekian reformulation. 

the gramsci is this;  ‘

the crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear'. even symptoms may not be exactly right, the italian says fenomeni morbosi.  there is much debate about what situation gramsci was talking about (for he cannot have been talking about ours). 

it is a red sky in the morning kind of dawn over the frozen fields. today a journey to the forge in search of the newspaper.

horsemouth would like more retrofit right reports. at the moment he doesn't have all the reports for all the houses and the communal endeavour fast approaches.
