Mainstreaming 2

“He mistrusted all of that. He said the right dreams for a man in peril were dreams of peril and all else was the call of languor and of death.”
    -- Cormac McCarthy,  The Road

...so much of the world we inhabit, in all its gray capitalist drudgery, in all its gaudy pomp, its tatty circumstance, its bricolage culture, is a product of our acquiescence. The notion of the unreachable distance of the ideal may represent more a failure of collective imagination than a material impediment. How many of us are convinced that there is no alternative to capitalism? How many have ingested that neoliberal narcotic of foreclosed imaginations?
