really great stuff gio. your rant at the end was kino Debord makes a very similar point about the presence of 'The Other' in liberal democracy: "Such a perfect democracy constructs its own inconceivable foe, terrorism. Its wish is *to be judged by its enemies rather by its results*. The story of terrorism is written by the state and it is therefore highly instructive. The spectators must certainly never know everything about terrorism, but they must always know enough to convince them that, compared with terrorism, everything else must be acceptable [states of exception], or in any case more rational and democratic." —Guy Debord, Comments on the Society of the Spectacle IX Of course what else do we have now but the terms 'domestic terrorists' (it's inside the body now!!! Which the state too gets to define!!!!!) or even 'lone wolf terrorism' (isolated down to the individual!!!!)or 'incel terrorism' or when theyre mentions of "growing incel movement" or even "hate speech" (in many ways) or 'radicalization' as u dicuss (zones of indeterminacy) Quite enjoying necropolitics
