Griffin offers the following helpful list of the principal elements constituting modernity, including the crucial role played by technology therein: 'the spread of rationalism, liberalism, secularization, individualism, and capitalism, the cult of progress, expanding literacy rates and social mobility, urbanization and industrialization, the emergence of the urban middle class (capitalist) and the working (rural and proletarian) classes from a feudal structure of society, the growth of representative government and bureaucratization, revolutionary developments in communications and transport, geographical discoveries and imperial expansion, the advance of secular science and ever more powerful technology and technocracy (Griffin, 2007).' According to Frederic Jameson, modernity thus conceived may be describes as a 'catastrophe' as it 'dashes in traditional structures and life ways to pieces, sweeps away the sacred, undermines immemorial habits and inherited languages, and leaves the world as a set of raw materials to be reconstructed rationally' (Jameson 1994).

“The conspiracy theorists are counterrevolutionary in one respect at least; they reserve the privilege of conspiracy exclusively for the power elite. While it’s obvious that those in power scheme to preserve and extend their positions, it’s no less certain that there’s conspiracy everywhere—in building hallways, at the coffee machine, in the back of kebab houses, at parties, in love affairs, in prisons. Through capillary channels and on a global scale, all these connections, all these conversations, all these friendships are forming a historical party in operation—“our party,” as Marx said. Confronting the objective conspiracy of the order of things, there is a diffuse conspiracy of which we are de facto members. But the greatest confusion obtains within it. Everywhere it turns, our party stumbles over its own ideological inheritance. It gets caught up in a whole tangle of defeated and defunct revolutionary traditions, which demand respect nonetheless. But strategic intelligence comes from the heart and not the brain, and the problem with ideology is precisely that it forms a screen between thinking and the heart. To put this differently: we’re obliged to force open a door to a space we already occupy. The only party to be built is the one that’s already there. We must rid ourselves of all the mental clutter that gets in the way of a clear grasp of our shared situation, our “common terrestritude,” to use Gramsci’s expression. Our inheritance is not preceded by any will or testament.”

What the United States is exporting are operative values—the concentration of wealth, tax on working people, deprivation of rights, exploitation, and so on—that's what's being exported in the real world. It's kind of an automatic consequence of designing trade systems to protect the rich and privileged

Video de un discurso de Malcom X recuperado en el 2015. Video of Malcom X’s speech Democracy is Hypocrisy, recovered in 2015. Traducción al español / Translation into Spanish: ¿Qué especie de sistema sociopolítico es uno en el que el hombre negro no tiene voz en las cortes? ¿En el que no tiene nada ni a nadie a su lado fuera de lo que el hombre blanco le decide dar? Hermanos y hermanas, tenemos que ponerle fin a esto y esto nunca va dejar de suceder al menos que nosotros mismos lo frenemos. Atacan a la víctima y luego el criminal que atacó a la víctima acusa a la víctima de atacarlo a él. Esa es la justicia estadounidense. Esa es la democracia estadounidense y aquellos de ustedes que la conocen saben que la democracia estadounidense es hipocresía. Ahora bien, si estoy equivocado, métanme a la cárcel, pero si no pueden comprobar que la democracia estadounidense no es hipocresía entonces no me pongan las manos encima. La democracia es hipocresía. Si la democracia significa libertad, ¿por qué no es libre nuestra gente? Si la democracia significa igualdad, ¿por qué no tenemos igualdad? Veinte millones de personas negras en este país han vivido como niños en la casa del hombre blanco. Hasta nos dice joven, “boy”. No importa qué tanto crezcas, te llamará joven. Puedes ser un profesor, para él sólo eres otro joven, otro “boy”. Transcripción en inglés / Transcription What kind of social or political system is it when a black man has no voice in court? Has no nothing on his side other than what the white man chooses to give to you? My brothers and sisters we have to put a stop to this and it will never be stopped until we stop it ourselves. They attack the victim and then the criminal who attacked the victim acuses the victim of attacking him. This is American “justice”. This is American “democracy” and those of you who are familiar with it know that in America democracy is hypocrisy. Now if I’m wrong put me in jail, but if you can’t prove that in American democracy is not hypocrisy then don’t put your hands on me. Democracy is hypocrisy. If democracy means freedom why aren’t our people free? If democracy means justice why don’t we have justice? If democracy means equality then why don’t we have equality? Twenty million black people in this country have been like boys in the white man’s house. He even calls us boys. Don’t care how big you get he calls you boy. You can be a professor, to him you’re just another boy.

How to REALLY Boycott the Inauguration
I’m seeing a ton of people posting this copy-and-paste update about boycotting the inauguration by SWITCHING YOUR TELEVISION TO A DIFFERENT CHANNEL. It’s a nice thought and a nice gesture, but that WON’T WORK.
I’m not putting those things in all caps to yell at you, I just want to make sure you see it.
How TV Ratings Work: Viewership is measured through Nielsen ratings. Unless you’re a “Nielsen family,” you don’t really count. Nielsen Family data is recorded through their Nielsen boxes, and then that data is gathered on a value curve to represent a larger audience.
Basically, no Nielsen box = no count.
Ratings are an estimate. It’s super archaic. But so is cable. That’s why viewer data is ALSO gathered through internet clicks and posts, interaction with online videos and social feeds, and streaming data.
How to REALLY Boycott the Inauguration: Avoid online content. Avoid clicking on videos, avoid linking articles and tweets, avoid social feeds, avoid recaps. Even hate-watching a video or posting a link to add the comment, “An oil spill in the Pacific Ocean is better for humanity than this administration,” still counts toward viewer data. Your hate-click is still an added view, and it doesn’t come with a little asterisk next to it that says, “But this person loathed it and weeps for the future.”
So changing your channel is chill, and I recommend it! There is so much beautiful, amazing television! It’s a Golden Age of scripted content! But for god’s sake, don’t then go and negate your boycott by opening your Facebook and putting angry faces on a bunch of Trump videos.
Como les dije: no creen contenido sobre esto (al menos que sea para promover el boicot), no den clicks a contenido relacionado, no propaguen memes, no pongan links en su contenido en redes sociales. No jueguen este juego exactamente como El Establishment quiere que lo jueguen.
