Street gangs in Mexico have gone utterly insane and started lynching campaigns in LA. Its actually been getting worse since the late 90’s. The one thing that keeps me hopeful is that the net-world is growing and despite the continuing effort to generate and situate a rhetoric of hate and intolerance there is an increasing trend towards a cyberpolitanism (yeah it’s mine). A growing trend towards an ethic and aesthetic of tolerance that sees no profit in the long tired road of hate and vitriol. The paranoia of scarcity has yet to overtake the inherent altruism of humanity. There are alternatives; there is enough; keep the faith.
