"Flaming" by the UK based artists group Glorious Ninth
Flaming (our/your/their rage) 2004

All debate about ownership and empowerment, democracy and accountability,
long term perspectives and global, environmental issues are trodden
underfoot and a chilling efficiency in dehumanising whole societies and
populations, is allowed to remove any possibility of debate and empathic
shared existence with those about to die.

Flaming (our/your/their rage) is a release of anger and frustration against
the powerful. Power and rage smashes a country already suffering. A lack of
power to control everything provokes this rage. Artist, activist, freedom
fighter, terrorist - where do our liberal values start and stop? Rage of the
new yorkers, rage of america as they experienced violation. Rage at our
collective lack of insight and our/your/their crouched/couched response.
Rage that they/you/we want revenge. Rage at the twittery of politicians,
their sell-out, and our stupidity to think they might be something they
could be. Rage at our own hypocrisy. Rage at the defeat of the left, and at
the utter abandonment of real hope. Rage at the inadequacies of intellectual
arguments. Rage that there isn't an easy answer. Rage that it
