Fright of the Fenix

The acers sustain themselves through self-parody... that is more "flattery" of their fans desires than "reality". Not that it's bad, at times, to flatter one's fans. They're existence is not a complete vacuum.

“I think the whole point, the basic underlying premise of Laibach’s strategy is that… In this whole, not only for Slovenia but let’s say generally, for so-called late capitalism in general even, that (the) system itself has as its inherent condition of functioning that its own ideology must not be taken seriously”... ”the only way, I would even say, to be really subversive is not to develop critical potentials, ironic distance, but precisely to take the system more seriously than it takes itself.”
- Slavoj Zizek
