Dadaism

 It's a term which I wasn't familiar with, and I had to go spend thirty minutes today....researching the political movement of Dadaism.

It's a political thought process started around at the very beginning of WW I (1915/1916). Some would suggest that in Paris....it took off in the 1920s (in a very marginal way).

It's attached to intellectuals....who view the world in their own way.  

So to reach the peak of dadaism....you need to dismiss and decline logic and reasoning.  

Yeah.....right off the bat.....an intellectual scorning logic should send a signal to you.

The general idea here by a guy talking dadaism chatter....he's pro-absurdity, impracticality, and anti-capitalism.   In various ways....nothing he says...makes much sense.  But in this fashion....that's what he's selling you....a brand of political chatter without much content.

An actual political party today?  Well...to some small degree, yes.  It's mostly based out of Berlin, and I doubt if it contains more than a hundred folks.  The name?  Bergpartei.  Not taking anything really serious?  I suspect that's the key selling brand of the group.
