The Bells of Hell, the last public joint in the old tradition, closed on June 26, 1979. Fred Tamburri, last great after-hours proprietor, passed away on June7, 1986. By the summer of 1988, almost all of the old-style neighborhood bars, social clubs and gambling joints were gone. Giuliani became Mayor of New York in January 1994, and he finished off what was left of real life. Like the reformer Fiorello La Guardia, who had served as mayor from 1934 to 1945, Giuliani persecuted his own kind. A Jew named Bloomberg followed him in 2002. As there was little left in the post-mortem city to offend the new mayor’s delicate sensibilities, he outlawed smoking in bars. Welcome to the mall of mortuary mediocrity. The end.

“This is how the NSPCC works… The charity responded to Hewson’s article by firstly trying to force her to gag her views. In an email to Hewson, Matt Hopkinson, the NSPCC’s chief press officer, dispatched a missive instructing Hewson to ‘reconsider’ her article. ‘I strongly urge you to remove or reword your article’, he warned. At the same time, the NSPCC contacted Hewson’s associates in the legal chambers where she works, demanding that they disassociate themselves from her personal views. It was a form of moral blackmail of Hewson. The message was clear: if you refuse to toe our line, we will create problems for you in your place of work and in the public realm more broadly. In other words, if you don’t shut up, we will make sure that your daddy punishes you.” — The moral lynching of Barbara Hewson | Frank Furedi | spiked

The central problem at the root of peepological research touches on the onanistic structure of liberal democratic society. A society which indulges itself in deceitful fantasies of freedom, integration, ideological metabolism and the like. Peepological research seeks to trace the root of the self-lie with the aid of models of pornographic consumerism. According to the working hypothesis of peepology, the range of the activity of the fly-man masturbating before a woman stripping off in virtual space can teach us something about our innate ability to ignore ourselves.The man who comes in secret teaches us about the human tendency to sketch a delightful reality in the eyes of the mind, in blatant disregard of oppressive circumstances.
