[lbo-talk] German school gunman 'kills 16'

[Dennis Perrin]

I agree, Woj, but only to a degree. I think there's a lot more atomization 
and alienation these days, as capital has been very successful in reducing 
humans into target demos and market units. That naturally feeds one's 
fantasy cocoon. But pop-cult images of "cool" gangsters is hardly new --  
recall how film noir in the 40s was seen as a breakdown in social morality, 
and how lurid pulp novels supposedly inspired drug use and rape. It's like 
an endless cycle with this shit, and all of it serves those who own what you 
and I can never own.
