we must link activist stress with emotional & transformative justice

ongoing postmarxist critique

older now but
this article
the immediate need for emotional justice
speaks again
experiences in sectarian
socialism

not only my own emotional
luggage
that of
burnouts wanderoffs
jadeds tired outs
overstressed
folks
all around

stress confrontation
buildup & letdown

fig13a lets not forget the sectarian student recruitment fetish while we are here

so few ways to vent
so few ways for feelings
to be taken seriously
always talking about
sacrifice
like for blood
im going to have to write
more on that later
but


fig13b with narrative logic like that no wonder enrollment is at historic lows


speaking to abuse
in the activist community
in which i seem
to have taken interest

lacking emotional justice

folks from homes
broken

by capitalism
the state

turn to what theyve learned
violence abuse
coercion manipulation

mirroring
in these communities
those very dynamics
poison dynamics

which the world we
want to change
consistently
regenerates

if we cant fix it
in ourselves
our loved ones
comrades
trusted

how can we empower
friends
acquaintances
strangers

& even our enemies

yet
i know sectarians
wont listen
at best theyre slow to change
its all about building
glorious proletarian revolution
without ever addressing
personal problems
problems must in essence first
be polticized
too often at the cost
of dehumanizing
the problemed
sacred logic ending
with dismissal

post hipster art

looks like the seattle art scene
has made quite the gaffe
in thinking
one of their beloved artists
is just another hipster

what do you do with white nationalist art
once the irony is gone?
asks hyperallergic

the pitfalls of tolerance

how do you deal with intolerance?

exigency revealed

dorners not just mad
about getting fired & crazy

in a typically blind pro-cop
american media sort of way
they skirt around the fact he was fired
for ratting
on corruption

as much as you can avoid
corruption and racism
when talking about
the lapd

so bad
that when this happens
chief beck has to come on tv
say hell reopen the case

it takes this

we can take for granted
that dorner is insane yeah
that manifesto breaks down halfway

starts talking to tebow
shout outs to hillary clinton
like hes won the oscar
for best mass murderer

shit
hes got the worlds attention
he knows it
they always know it


fig9a we are naturally familiar with this concept

be easy to blame the media
but more accurate
to note how media & manifestation
of violent insanity
have this lewd public relationship

capitalism consumer capitalism
birthing its own monsters

imperialism too
veteran turned cop
in the militarized police
navy sharpshooter
eight times decorated

talks about values he learned

fig9b value added to a product by military labor

i am a walking exigent circumstance
meaning hes the thing
that cant be planned for
an antichrist rendered
through 21st c fabric

may or may not be so
while i write this theyre still
poking the remains of the compound

compound being the word
for cabin once hostages are taken
naturally

either he does outsmart them
going on undermining their cred
hurting more people
or
they do stop him
testament to how desperately
they need to save
face

irregardless
he's a loose
dangerous
cog

apocalyptic
look at the way the cops
shot at innocent people
barricaded a truck unrelated to the case
it looks bad

fig9c necessary on so many levels


it looks really bad

this would be a wakeup moment
an enlightenment
if we can tune out the news
and listen to our gut our instinct

we all knew
dorner was only a matter of time

hyping up the dramatic parts
leaving out the backstory
media has the gall to come at this
all surprisedlike

so most of us will stay in the trance
nobody saw this coming?
are you kidding?

this isnt the beginning
this isnt even the end

fig9d what is violence? whateven is mental health?

we dont have
collective cognitive framework
for whatevers going on
much less
whatever
comes next
