Dreadful stuff. A Daily Mail for the left-of-centre.

Context-free quotes, often misinterpreted and, more pertinently, done in a 'behind-the back' forum that will almost certainly never come to the attention of the original commenters, misguided as they may be. And commented on in a 'teenager down the pub with his mates' fashion.

I'll pull one of a number of the great David Foster Wallace's quotes at this point. Made in a different context, but just as applicable here.

Irony and cynicism were just what the U.S. hypocrisy of the fifties and sixties called for. That’s what made the early postmodernists great artists. The great thing about irony is that it splits things apart, gets up above them so we can see the flaws and hypocrisies and duplicates. The virtuous always triumph? Ward Cleaver is the prototypical fifties father? "Sure."

Sarcasm, parody, absurdism and irony are great ways to strip off stuff’s mask and show the unpleasant reality behind it. The problem is that once the rules of art are debunked, and once the unpleasant realities the irony diagnoses are revealed and diagnosed, "then" what do we do?

Irony’s useful for debunking illusions, but most of the illusion-debunking in the U.S. has now been done and redone. Once everybody knows that equality of opportunity is bunk and Mike Brady’s bunk and Just Say No is bunk, now what do we do?
All we seem to want to do is keep ridiculing the stuff. Postmodern irony and cynicism’s become an end in itself, a measure of hip sophistication and literary savvy.

Few artists dare to try to talk about ways of working toward redeeming what’s wrong, because they’ll look sentimental and naive to all the weary ironists. Irony’s gone from liberating to enslaving. There’s some great essay somewhere that has a line about irony being the song of the prisoner who’s come to love his cage.

I honestly don't think it's put up as a vehicle for serious critical discourse .. more of a personal vent via a blog.

Still funny mind.
