War Cynical Way

More From Ryszard Kapuscinski

Taking the continent as a whole, this religious tension may be responsible for the revival of the commonest racial feeling. africa is divided into black and white, and the names that are substituted- africa south of the sahara, africa north of the sahara- do not manage to hide this latent racism. here, it is affirmed that white africa has a thousand-year-old tradition of culture; that she is mediterranean, that she is a continuation of europe and that she shares in graeco-latin civilization. black africa is looked on as a region that is inert, brutal, uncivilized - in a word, savage.

In accordance to the principles of doublethink, it does not matter if the war is not real, or when it is, that victory is not possible. the war is not meant to be won. it is meant to be continuous. the essential act of modern warfare is the destruction of the produce of human labour. a hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. in principle, the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. the war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects, and its object is not victory over eurasia or eastasia, but to keep the very structure of society intact.
Real War Ignorance
In the forests of central india and in many, many rural areas, a huge battle is being waged. millions of people are being driven off their lands by mining companies, by dams, by infrastructure companies, and a huge battle is being waged. these are not people who have been co-opted into consumer culture, into the western notions of civilisation and progress. they are fighting for their lands and their livelihoods, refusing to be looted so that someone somewhere far away may "progress" at their cost.

Bill clinton gives the appearance of taking stands-for some sort of tax cut, some sort of welfare reform, some sort of balanced budget-but these are ploys, mirages: they exist only to undermine positions taken by the republicans. he doesn't fight for anything substantive-except of course, re-election. ...he has fallen into the dangerous habit of lip synching the presidency: he gives the appearance of leadership, but not the substance.
