There are two distinct types of terrorism if we consider it as a people inflicting terror on another people: the terrorism of Goliath and the terrorism of David. In the first sense, the American Goliath inflicted terror on Native Americans in achieving its "manifest destiny," as did the Nazi Goliath in attempting to establish its 1000 Reich. For the Goliaths of the world, education--technical and in a narrow ideological framework--enables terrorism. The terrorism of the Davids comes out of experienced mortal threat, frustration, and rage. It was the terrorism of American Indians raiding wagon trains, also, the actions of the French resistance in WW II, or the Goths against the Romans. For this kind of terrorist, education is also important. It provides the ideological framework and the technical means for challenging Goliath. _______________________________________________ Nettime-bold mailing list Nettime-bold@nettime.org http://www.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-bold
