[D-G] Could we have a viable List?

[Johnatan Petterson]

I am not sure there are viable Lists. Pepe the Frogs works a bit like
Homer as a fiction: at least that's the way Fr.Nietzsche imagines
Homer for the German XIX Century Philologicians. Pepe the Frog on
Reddit for the Alt-Right incarnates the death of will necessary for
the movement to exist. Pepe the Frogs inchoate movements help people
surrender their 'natural' rights. Thats seem to explain how Lists on
Internet or even Off-Line who lack such a Figure as Homer or Pepe as a
Meme+Image, tend to self-destroy. Perhaps there's a lack of Family, (
lack of )sense of becoming secret which destroys this List. Personaly
Clifford Dufy is a Big Brother, for me as a remote Family. I am sad I
lost him. He's dreaming about Love, he feels writing and salvaging
this List from the grips of Hatred would cost him too much. And its
true if Gilles Deleuze wrote us a Letter from his new HomeLand, we
would recover a sense of Hope for the List. People of those who read
this will find themselves in the same situation: we are like Seth
Morley in a Maze of Death, We have exhausted the Internet. Only
remains Becoming Clandestine.

We have to wait extra devices for such extra Familial experimentations
to reboot : I hope with BioTech In our Neuronic CrackUp a new sense of
Collective Family shall be born again.
