[Peace-discuss] After 50 years: MLK defeated by neoliberalism, not racism

[ewj at pigsqq.org]

We have been looking at the problem of persistent viral infection
in populations of animals.  Some particularly devastating exotic diseases
cause persistent infection and thereby remain in the population,
indeed passing vertically generation to generation.

One virus we are looking at embeds itself in the cells of the immune system 
itself.  That is a common trick actually.

The virions of propagandizement seem to get a similar foothold.  How to 
wake them up or piss the immune system off to the poiint that it rises up and 
evicts the daemonic memes or the virus seems to be an interesting challenge.

Indeed they really may lack the means for evicting the idea or the virus but
evidence does show that the immune system does function...
.
curiouser and curiouser.

Wok comes from the Cantonese gwok, Mandarin guo, a cooking pot.

The class which has the means of material production at its disposal, has control at the same time over the means of mental production, so that thereby, generally speaking, the ideas of those who lack the means of mental production are subject to it..."
