Not really making a claim about 'being mean' etc, more along the lines of D&G at their most paleoMarxist: "capitalism-in conformity with the movement by which it counteracts its own tendency-is continually drawing near the wall, but at the same time pushing the wall further away"

(Just not getting how a process can hit absolute deterritorialisation when its limit is asymptotic.)

Where does the "hitting" part come from? An absolute doesn't need to be reached to exist.

... Orbiting a black hole is highly preferable to falling into one, and this is entirely consistent with the black hole absolutely existing.
