"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.


"Environmental Jihad", Adbusters #89 (May/June 2010):
Post-Copenhagen it is clear that our nominally democratic society is under the sway of a corporatist, obstructionist oligarchy whose fat cats will jettison any sustainable vision of the future if it hurts their bottom line. And therein lies the significance of Osama bin Laden's speech.


"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.


"Campus Uprising", Adbusters #83 (May/June 2009):
No one can predict with absolute certainty when the passions of youth will erupt. While the seeds of revolution are historically sown on campus, the evolution of a student uprising into prolific social change is anything but formulaic. But when something's rotten in the state of culture, the youth are the first to smell it.


"Philosopher Profiles: Nancy, Žižek and Connolly", Adbusters #82 (March/April 2009):
In the future, it will no longer be possible to speak of ourselves as single, static identities. Instead, our genders, races and cultures will be fluid: ever shifting depending on the mood we're in or the friends we're with. We will exist in a state of constant becoming, new identities always emerging. But how, in this state of perpetual change, can we ever hope to build a cohesive political movement?


"The Politics of Youth: Interview with Michael Hardt", Adbusters #82 (March/April 2009):
Michael Hardt is an American political philosopher and literary theorist. His ongoing collaboration with Antonio Negri has resulted in some of the most exciting books published on politics in recent decades. Micah White asked Michael Hardt whether he thinks Generation O has revolutionary potential.


"Blackspot Poem", Adbusters #80 (November/December 2008):
The blackspot points us toward an alternative present, a viable vision for transforming our communities into lush forests of homegrown culture, unhomogenized by corporate toxins.


"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.


"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.

"Redemption", Adbusters #76 (March/April 2008):
I often imagine what it would be like to wake up to a clean mental environment, one that it is without the toxins of advertising. But then how can someone expect to maintain a clean mental environment in today's modern world?




"Blackspot the Future", Adbusters #75 (January/February 2008):
As my experience as an activist grows, one fact has become increasingly unavoidable: financial freedom is a prerequisite for radical thought and action. Without a source of income that does not require an ethical capitulation it is difficult, if not impossible, to maintain the culture jamming ethos.
