Comment on For a Ruthless Criticism of Everything Existing (including critics) by Babs

As someone studying criticism, I freaking love this post.

Was reading Adorno and Horkheimer’s “The Culture Industry: Enlightenment as Mass Deception” yesterday for class and the whole time I was thinking about ETG and Flying Snakes. The essay is about the rise of film and the false myths perpetuated by such reproducible mediums to the exclusion of lower classes– very applicable, right?

One thing I love about ETG’s work is that it consistently takes the manufactured narratives of the culture industry and exposes them for what they are: empty and unfulfilling bullshit generated to numb our ethical/intellectual senses. But ETG uses what Adorno/Horkheimer call “purposefulness without a purpose” to subvert the structure and criticize the machine.

Hell yes.
