" Violence: in when the tolerance zero?
You've surely noticed that we left you alone all summer. Others around
the world didn't stop acting during your daily summer lives. Beginning
with the G8 in Genoa (Agit'prop and Documents/globalization) that
couldn't be ignored.. But what can be gotten from that? That the
criminalization of the fight against market-driven globalization is
accelerating, that Berlusconi, while playing the dunce is gaining ground
or that the "anti-globalizationists", as the media like to call them,
don't see eye to eye on the issue of violence? But really, when does it
start to mean something for any of these people? (Humor) When the young
Italian was shot to death point blank or when the 14,000 Russian women
are murdered each year by their spouses (Agit'Prop) Or when these
Congolese women are left to die of hunger (Agit'Prop) or yet again when
these Algerian women are massacred in the face of the greatest general
indifference (Agit'Propo and Solidarity)? Or when this ever more sexist
advertising pervades our public space (001-001)? Or when gays and
lesbians in Belgrade are systematically beaten up (Agit'Prop),
repudiating one's wife by email in Kuweit (Net or Not). Are these
examples of violence toleratable? And prostitution, isn't it violence in
itself? (OtherTake/Points of View). Pimp networds and regulationist
organizations voluntarily change it into "sex work", a concept that
conceals its deep causes and that we fight. Such violence doesn't
prevent resistance and the force of proposing (OtherTake/jSpotlight),
but as a sign of mourning, faced with such international collective
tolerance, we will no longer offer you this "subliminal" image that has
perplexed you so much since we began our site.=94
