fri., 23 aug, 2019: let’s dance, put on yr yellow vest, ii., give us This Day our Daily Curse


[NOTE: these terms are weaponized language, & meant to give offense. Which is the whole & compleat point of insult & invective, obscenity & blasphemy, & other political speech.]
FRENCH:  “Révolution c’est l’ opium des intellectuelles...” 
FRENCH:  1 milliard pour Notre Dame! Zero pour les sons logis!  ‡‡

‡)  Revolution is the opium of the intellectuals...    Popular Post-May ’68 Situationist graffito that sprayed its way across European & US campuses, & eventually finding its way into Lindsay Anderson’s O LUCKY MAN!
‡‡)  “Millions for Notre Dame! Zero for the homeless!”  /  “Millions for Notre Dame,  nothing for Les Misérables”
 
NOTE: Yellow Vest protest signs during Paris demonstrations regarding a billion euros in billionaire donations to rebuild Notre Dame cathedral after the recent fire,  even as the French govt. slashes social services,  thus increasing poverty.  Les Misérables is of course Victor Hugo’s classic French novel about social injustice,  poverty  &  the 1832 Paris rebellion. 
 
& PS: & a great big go fuck-yourselves to the arseholes at google who are trying to ruin everything that they buy out.
