i can't really disagree with this. its either a sign of how absolutely desperate things are, or the last gasp of something finally now ending.
at the same time, at least tiqquns radicalism exists. look at america up until the 80's. the weather underground where prepared to KILL to stop the slaughter of innocents by their own nation. that all stopped, and didn't resurge during the war in iraq.
what the fuck do we have now? we're on a sonic youth message board, a band that paid raymond pettibon to make comics for them (he also did weather underground esque drawings in the same style as the goo cover). and we are either silent and censor this violence or half revel in it in a desperate attempt to shove it in the face of a culture that no longer wants to know.
