Nous devrions revenir bient\u00f4t sur ce fait \u00e9vident actuel dans le syst\u00e8me de la communication, qui est la profusion de textes d’analyse, d’humeur, d’exhortation, de d\u00e9couragement, sur l’\u00e9tat g\u00e9n\u00e9ral du monde et sur la course folle qu’il suit vers quelque chose qui ne peut \u00eatre d\u00e9crit que par des mots comme catastrophe, effondrement, etc. Nous donnons ici un exemple qui nous semble significatif, qui porte sur les USA.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\tIl s’agit d’un texte sign\u00e9 par James Howard Kunstler, d\u00e9crit<\/a> dans Wikip\u00e9dia<\/em> comme \u00aban American author, social critic, public speaker, and blogger<\/em> […] best known for his books The Geography of Nowhere (1994), a history of American suburbia and urban development, The Long Emergency (2005) and most recently, Too Much Magic (2012)…<\/em>\u00bb On peut dire de Kunstler qu’il est dans ses \u00e9crits, une sorte de philosophe de la prospective catastrophique, un expert d’une mati\u00e8re d’\u00e9tude contemporaine qu’on devrait d\u00e9signer comme la crisologie d\u00e9cisive, l’\u00e9tude de la succession de crises sp\u00e9cifiques \u00e0 notre \u00e9poque, dont le caract\u00e8re est effectivement compl\u00e8tement englob\u00e9 dans la dynamique crisique et ne peut \u00eatre d\u00e9fini que par la transformation du ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne par d\u00e9finition limit\u00e9 de crise devenu une sorte de ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne structurel (voir, pour nous, l’infrastructure<\/a> crisique<\/a>). <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tDans Coasting Towards Zero<\/em>, du 2 juin 2014<\/a> sur son site Kunstler.com<\/em>, repris sur ZeroHedges.com<\/em> le m\u00eame 2 juin 2014<\/a>, Kunstler d\u00e9crit l’\u00e9volution de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 am\u00e9ricaniste et des USA d’une fa\u00e7on qui repr\u00e9sente un mod\u00e8le g\u00e9n\u00e9rale pour l’\u00e9volution de notre civilisation, ou contre-civilisation dans le chef du Syst\u00e8me. Ses remarques sont universelles : Ce qu’il d\u00e9crit au travers des USA, c’est une soci\u00e9t\u00e9, une civilisation, un monde entra\u00een\u00e9s par cette dynamique crisique vers un \u00e9tat d’entropisation (voir la formule dd&e<\/a>) effectivement d\u00e9fini par l’\u00e9tat de z\u00e9ro, du rien, de la n\u00e9antisation…<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abIn just about any realm of activity this nation does not know how to act. We don’t know what to do about our mounting crises of economy. We don’t know what to do about our relations with other nations in a strained global economy. We don’t know what to do about our own culture and its traditions, the useful and the outworn. We surely don’t know what to do about relations between men and women. And we’re baffled to the point of paralysis about our relations with the planetary ecosystem.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbTo allay these vexations, we just coast along on the momentum generated by the engines in place the turbo-industrial flow of products to customers without the means to buy things; the gigantic infrastructures of transport subject to remorseless decay; the dishonest operations of central banks undermining all the world’s pricing and cost structures; the political ideologies based on fallacies such as growth without limits; the cultural transgressions of thought-policing and institutional ass-covering.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbThis is a society in deep danger that doesn’t want to know it. The nostrum of an expanding GDP is just statistical legerdemain performed to satisfy stupid news editors, gull loose money into reckless positions, and bamboozle the voters. If we knew how to act we would bend every effort to prepare for the end of mass motoring, but instead we indulge in fairy tales about the shale oil miracle because it offers the comforting false promise that we can drive to WalMart forever (in self-driving cars!). Has it occurred to anyone that we no longer have the capital to repair the vast network of roads, streets, highways, and bridges that all these cars are supposed to run on? Or that the capital will not be there for the installment loans Americans are accustomed to buy their cars with?<\/em> […]<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbThe lack of thought behind this dynamic is staggering, especially because it doesn’t account for the obvious political consequence which is to say the potential for uprising, revolution, civic disorder, cruelty, mayhem, and death, along with the kind of experiments in psychopathic governance that the 20th century was a laboratory for. Desperate populations turn to maniacs. You can be sure that scarcity beats a fast path to mass homicide.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbWhat preoccupies the USA now, in June of 2014? According to the current cover story Time Magazine, the triumph of transgender. Isn’t it wonderful to celebrate sexual confusion as the latest and greatest achievement of this culture? No wonder the Russians think we’re out of our minds and want to dissociate from the West. I’ve got news for the editors of Time Magazine: the raptures of sexual confusion are not going to carry American civilization forward into the heart of this new century.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbIn fact, just the opposite. We don’t need confusion of any kind. We need clarity and an appreciation of boundaries in every conceivable sphere of action and thought. We don’t need more crybabies, or excuses, or wishful thinking, or the majestic ass-covering that colors the main stream of our national life.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 4 juin 2015 \u00e0 06H20<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" La marche de nulle part vers z\u00e9ro Nous devrions revenir bient\u00f4t sur ce fait \u00e9vident actuel dans le syst\u00e8me de la communication, qui est la profusion de textes d’analyse, d’humeur, d’exhortation, de d\u00e9couragement, sur l’\u00e9tat g\u00e9n\u00e9ral du monde et sur la course folle qu’il suit vers quelque chose qui ne peut \u00eatre d\u00e9crit que par… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[6045,11190,3162,15846,2801],"class_list":["post-75332","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-breves-de-crise","tag-catastrophe","tag-crisologie","tag-dde","tag-decisive","tag-kunstler"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75332","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=75332"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75332\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=75332"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=75332"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=75332"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
