A burst of laughter is the only appropriate response to all the serious \u201cquestions\u201d posed by news analysts. To take the most banal: there is no \u201cimmigration question.\u201d Who still grows up where they were born? Who lives where they grew up? Who works where they live? Who lives where their ancestors did? And to whom do the children of this era belong, to television or their parents? The truth is that we have been completely torn from any belonging, we are no longer from anywhere, and the result, in addition to a new disposition to tourism, is an undeniable suffering. Our history is one of colonizations, of migrations, of wars, of exiles, of the destruction of all roots. It\u2019s the story of everything that has made us foreigners in this world, guests in our own family. We have been expropriated from our own language by education, from our songs by reality TV contests, from our flesh by mass pornography, from our city by the police, and from our friends by wage-labor. To this we should add, in France, the ferocious and secular work of individualization by the power of the state, that classifies, compares, disciplines and separates its subjects starting from a very young age, that instinctively grinds down any solidarities that escape it until nothing remains except citizenship \u2013 a pure, phantasmic sense of belonging to the Republic. The Frenchman, more than anyone else, is the embodiment of the dispossessed, the destitute. His hatred of foreigners is based on his hatred of himself as a foreigner. The mixture of jealousy and fear he feels toward the \u201ccit\u00e9s\u201c expresses nothing but his resentment for all he has lost. He can\u2019t help envying these so-called \u201cproblem\u201d neighborhoods where there still persists a bit of communal life, a few links between beings, some solidarities not controlled by the state, an informal economy, an organization that is not yet detached from those who organize. We have arrived at a point of privation where the only way to feel French is to curse the immigrants and those who are more visibly foreign. In this country, the immigrants assume a curious position of sovereignty: if they weren\u2019t here, the French might stop existing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Coming Insurrection \u00ab Support the Tarnac 9<\/a><\/p>\n

From The Coming Insurrection, a book that has been recently banned in France. I’ve been reading on and off from it and I am absolutely amazed at how much of this can be applied to The Netherlands. Actually, I kept reading and replacing “France” with “The Netherlands” and mostly all statements happened to resonate with a validity and truth that left me a bit cold.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
