Sample of Writings Published in Adbusters

"Google: Infoparasite", Adbusters #90 (July/Aug 2010):
Quibbles over the relevance and usefulness of Google's ads, or whether they are distracting, miss the fundamental point. If advertising becomes the frame of our culture, then all thought is constrained by its horizon.


"Commit Facebook Suicide", Adbusters #77 (May/June 2008):
By turning members into consumers who involuntarily advertise to their friends, Facebook hoped to extract profit from social interactions. However, by commercializing friendships, Facebook has irrevocably destroyed its image. No longer a fun, harmless place to hang out, Facebook has become just another commercial enterprise.


"The Birth of Altermodern", Adbusters #88 (Feb/March 2010):
We find that the binaries we rejected are not only blurring but finally collapsing. Unable to say with any certainty what is real or virtual, human or animal, organic or genetically modified, some wish to resuscitate again, but this time with nostalgia, the failed antimodern project of shattering distinctions.


"Philosophy at Zero Point", Adbusters #87 (Jan/Dec 2010):
We are in a moment of cultural stagnation where the only thing to say is that we have nothing to say. The great contemporary philosophers of our age are in intellectual retreat. Something about this historical moment is leaving the discipline of Western philosophy blind.


"America's Revolutionary Moment", Adbusters #77 (May/June 2008):
Our momentum is growing. Bush is done, consumerism is collapsing and the patricians are dancing for plebeian votes. On the horizon appear presidential candidates who claim to be the source of our strength, but who are merely the symptom of the revolutionary thrust picking up again in America.
