i hate war but i hate our enemies even more
Heath Schultz & Becky Nasadowski

Arranged from a partisan perspective in the era of the uprising, i hate 
war, but i hate our enemies even more is an unconventional textual 
object that uses détournement, collage, and experimental writing against 
reactionary liberalism, capitalism, and white supremacy.

Critical theory, police propaganda, militant cinema, country songs, 
activist histories, and white reactionary protests are used as raw 
material to stage ideological juxtapositions. George Wallace speaks to 
Stokely Carmichael in Watts. Radio Raheem hears conservative country 
music through his boombox while telling the story of Love and Hate. 
Darren Wilson supporters share the stage with Al Sharpton. Peter 
Watkins’ Communards sing La Marseillaise and Bill Withers sings 
Grandma’s Hands in the same set.

In these conjunctions, we find the reproduction of struggle and the 
potential for short-circuiting the reproduction of white supremacy. This 
book aims to enact a critical theory of the spectacle as it joins the 
practical movement of negation within society.

Biography: Heath Schultz is a research-based artist and writer. His work

Becky Nasadowski is a designer and design educator at the University of 
Tennessee at Chattanooga. Her research takes a critical, 
multi-disciplinary approach to design, contextualizing the field within 
discussions of race, gender, and class.
