'methinks they do protest too much'...



...he said as he called the police in to drag the students away.

[myfootnote 1 : "It is said that Adorno asked for the help of police to remove the students that had occupied the Frankfurt Institute in fear of vandalism." In other words, students were so terrified by the threat of vandalism that they had to flee inside the Institute for protection/ sanctuary. But crusty old Theodor decided to show no mercy and threw them out again.]

Question: "so he came out on the side of the pigs in the end?"

Answer(s): (Stage disjection: simultaneous utterances) "yes he did."/ "no he didn't."

ps: my son's knowledge of German critical theory astounds me even more than my own ability to make art matter when drunk. soon he will inherit the wine stewardship.

blessings and love,

beater.
