get to it then

id write a review
of contradictionary
but they beat me to it

Review - those who can, write; those who can't, write reviews. Writing reviews is the surest shortcut to a sensation of power for those who lack the dedication necessary to create something of actual worth. In passing judgement on others' work, the reviewer experiences a fleeting high of self-importance cheaper than any other.

i think they wrote that just to stave off the reviews

there follows a eightpage
howto guide on
the fine art of coarse criticism
it was like the rest of the book

alternatively funny & depressing

for example
if my friends didnt write reviews
of good stuff
how would i know what to do
with my time

but my own reviews
shit

luckily
ive got more
important things
to do

well excepting for the fact i guess
that most everything
is done for us nowadays

we cant but be
spectators

right?

against what is said

fig25a first i converted an hour of my life into cash & then i converted the cash into a book two pencils & some bookmarks

do i really need
a pencil that says
a weapon with which to free speech
apparently that answer
is

what a shithead

fig25b hypocrisis

maybe this is what
their critics mean
when they accuse crimethinc
of being lifestylists

not that theres anything
wrong
with wanting a life
of consensus & freedom
but then

this isnt that
this is just the merch

might as well have bought
a damn anarchy keychain
at damn hot topic

in which a review also contributes much

how often
do you read a review
better than most books

Punk was making up life for yourself, punk was inventing yourself, and punk was inventing the people around you, too, inflating them to the size of Gods or perhaps just cartoons. Punk was a scene and scenes are a form of myth-making.

and

Too often, stories about youth told by people who are not young focus, incorrectly, on romantic love. But traditional, romantic love is not what defines our formative years.... People would mistake Hell and Verlaine for brothers, Hell recounts. The mistake is exciting because they aren’t. Their sameness is trained, chosen, rather than ordained from birth. This kind of love is a rebellion, a freedom from the strictures of home and family. Punk is friendship, not love. It is the friend with whom we are literally or figuratively cutting class and hiding behind the gym, smoking and making plans to run away. In counter-cultures that refuse and reject patterns of domesticity, tradition, and adulthood, we define ourselves far more by strange friendships, by relationships that mimic not the love our parents were (or were supposed to be) in, but the camaraderie we had with our childhood best friends.

what book could

do that justice

oh well
ill read it anyway

one lazy fuckin book review

i admit a certain guilty pleasure
in crimethinc
their periodical rolling thunder
is uh how should i say
less confusing
than normally obtuse
anarchist ranting

see here & here

seriously
what the fuck

anyway
i enjoyed rts bit
about the 08 rnc
looked for myself
in the pictures

no dice
no matter

so what if they tend to paint
an overly rosy picture
of their effectiveness
& numbers

i mean its propaganda
in the best way
marxists cant wont talk
like this
wont ever
win peoples hearts
only their brains
& thus only the cunning
the servile
join their ranks
stay there

& yeah
evasion is kind of crappy
like what if on
the road
was written by
a wordy middle school anarchist

& yeah
off the map feels
ultimately
kind of pointless
sunshiney & pretty
not too much in the way of guidance

work
is certainly no
capital
- warning large pdf -
but
it contains generally
most of the important
extrapolations
deals with people
little more evenhandedly
than broadbrushing folks
as bougie scum

fig21a who shall authorize the authority of the author?
shall the dictator dictate the dictionary?
do the settlers settle settlements?

my favorite part
of rt
is of course
the glossary
which both
illuminates
& ridicules
every side
so im excited
about their new book

contradictionary
a war in every word
they say

in
deed

only a moral interpretation of phenomena -

advice animals

collectivized & anonymized

meditation on london sympathy

relations with comrade london
initially cold

grade 7 or 8
call of the wild
awful teacher
old white lady
gave me my first d
cant even remember
what for
or her name

not impressed
boy nature wolf story
just didnt speak to me

college i think
to build a fire
shorter
more urgent
dire

man vs nature
just not
theme i appreciate
i guess
but
clumsiness
that sense of

what has been done
cannot now be undone

in the worst possible way

i imagine that spoke to
me better

it was years later yet
mayday books of course
i laid eye on the iron heel
dystopian fiction from
the crypto socialist

not so crypto turns
rather unspoken often
hushed up but perhaps
a fact asserting itself
a little more now that
leftist ideas are if not
fashionable at least
a subject at all again

& the iron heel
well not the best dystopian fiction
ive ever read

honestly that honor would have to go
to 1984 & hunger games
in a fight to the death between them
maybe amiable defiant alliance

anyway
not bad prescient way
format somewhat innovative
its time considered

heard now by way
of the nature manly rumor mill
comrade london was into nietzsche
social darwinism too
complicating character
& strange kinship
synthesis of divergent tastes
must needs find
a biography

speak now mediocre brother
from the halls of the dead
