smudging them into language ghettos

lettin em fend for theyselves

in cut throat intern camps

exhibit 29,666-y to the 3rd i have a bad feeling about this

just because you spout back

whatever rules were shoved

downthroat at whatever

grade or secondary echelon

but people cant let

there be fun

in language

cant just let 

anyone

run amok with

commune

ication

that would be

chaos

nevermind that

why you cannot dislike facebook

once again
tni hits the proverbial
nail in the balls

Negative sentiment – disliking – is asymmetrical in its power to shape consumer’s opinions of a brand: for every 10 likes, 1 dislike could tear a brand apart.

go ooooon

But we are not allowed to dislike. And herein lies a way out of the Like Economy. Dissent, dissensus, refusal are not easily afforded in Facebook. Dissenters have to work for it: they have to write out comments, start up a blog, seek out other dislikers. They are not lulled into slackivism or “clickivism,” replacing the work of activism with clicking “like” on a cause as if the sheer aggregate of sentiment will make someone somewhere change something

i am a selfstyled
disliker
of all the hundreds of folks
ive known
i am one of three
to ever opt out
of the facebooks

ive long hated it
first the bougie elitism
with which it left
alumni of my school
out of its loop

later its sicklysweet
commercialization
anything commerce
picks up with such a frenzy
is to be

deeply

distrusted

but what a great picture
amirite

fig23a death to myspace

bloody brilliant phrase
sovereign consumer too
because it can never be you
personally
it is an abstraction
you personally
are a servant
just like all the rest of us
from the c suite to the pee moppers

we serve
the idea
that nothing is free

not even freedom

i gave my facebook profile to a homeless man

yours for the revolution
forbidden books

clearly ahead of my time

i stopped caring
about the oxford comma
before it was cool

yes thats a hipster joke

also apparently
grammars role
oppression
privilege
theres small growing debate
some of it sadly
tumblr
& out my reach

good times
good
times

clear communication nice
in business government whatever

choice
ambiguity
fascism
you know where i stand

dont call it chaos

"Their error arises from their failure to allow there are different kinds of order. If researchers seek only the kinds of order with which Westerners are today familiar, they will miss, or reject as disorder, all other orders."

makes me think
of every time ive heard
dismissals about chaos

in whose eyes
you have to wonder

are we missing
opportunities
for other orders
other stories

yours for the revolution,
forbidden books

no no no no no

oh god oh no
theyve done it
put the shovel in the environmental movement

first you know
they jail the radicals

then they feed concessions
to the liberals

finally theyll make money off it
that part has been going on
for like the last decade
trying to string the economy along
put a bandaid on a headshot

what a mockery

we have been so insulted
but people will be laughing

this while the planet is crumbling
in 10 years the democrats
will run a presidential candidate
with a green nonprofit background

call something so basic
as mowing the white house lawn
with a push-mower
progress

this shit will be the death of us

yours for the revolution
forbidden books

objectify hostilities

hostile

objects

they are as we

treat them

kicking the car that

dies

cursing the computer

that lost the file

throwing the shovel

brokenhandled

fig8a shadows and parts of our former selves

a tool is an augmentation

replacement for human

effort

their mechanization

replaces our bodies

their digitalization

our brains

capital wants to make human

obsolescence

we are already at war
