Tilfældige ofre?

Fra New York Times.

As India’s magnet city quietly arose Wednesday on the morning after a series of eight bombings along its suburban commuter train line, a closer portrait of a carefully calibrated crime emerged. The bombers, it turned out, systematically chose first-class men’s compartments

Terrorister, rabiate feminister og den radikale venstrefløj har mindst en ting til fælles. De misunder, foragter og hader alle Vestligt orienterede succesfulde mænd.

Judging by the lists of those casualties posted at city hospitals, the victims were overwhelmingly male and mostly working age. Judging by the testimony of their friends and relatives, most were habitual first-class passengers.

If attacking the trains was an attempt to break the lifeline of Mumbai, then picking these compartments was a pointed attempt to cripple the men who stoke the city’s roaring economy � bankers, stockbrokers, accountants, engineers.

Lyder bekendt?

Det er klart, at får du bugt med den maskuline skaberånd, hvadenten der sker indefra eller udefra, er det lettere at bringe en civilization i knæ.

Vestens grundpille - individualitet - er under angreb. Indefra igennem forskellige former for virkelighedsfornægtelse, indentitets politik og en Hegelsk statsopfattelse.

Udefra - - Well, det vil jeg lade andre skrive om. Det falder uden for sitets emne.
