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

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?

press 1 to plead guilty press 2 to plead innocent

article entitled paperwork against the people
tackling some very issues i have
even down to dmv

dissent quarterly
looks pretty cool check it out

so only thing i have
to add to all that
is that bureaucracy
though its existed more/less
since ancient china

so legend goes

hit its stride with invent
& sophistication of
the state
that bestest of our friends

just like how markets
transactions profit
commodities
all existed before capitalism

clerks paperwork
enlightened meritocracy
all existed before the state

but they wuv each other
so much

bureaucracy being
the mechanization of human society
paperwork being programming

even our justice system
just answer yes or no
boils down to binaries
two privileged storytellers
an official judge appointed
by the state
and a gallery of spectators

all that paperwork
contorting details
to fit in the box
called justice

never forget
especially as you sit in a meeting
a political meeting a work meeting
a public meeting
that death by committee
is an old old thing

and that the terror
hinged on a group calling itself
the committee of public safety

le comite de salut public
safety & health
the same reasons they shut down
occupy

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

all these rappers sound the same

b in the d
there was a soviet union
some of you remember it

we
extraordinarily blessed people
of united states of america
we were free

as demonstrated
by the vast diversity
of our prodcuts

communism
we were told
are still told

fig11a in soviet russia fashion shows you

leads to generic
brown label
monotony
rationing shortages conformity
&c &c &c

desire for blue jeans
& david hasselhoff dressed in christmas lights
brought down
the whole idea of

collectivism

but it isnt collectivism
that stifles
it is bureaucracy

ask anyone in line
at the dmv

i have proof

right here

i love the twin cities
hasselhoff can eat it

doomtree is the freshest
most alive hiphop
i have heard in my life
no single rapper sounds alike
they stand out from the mass
produced by record labels
out from the assembly line
that pumps rap into the ghetto
like a drug like crack like propaganda

this is i think the perfect dynamic
of individualism collectivism

coming together to showcase talent
to build something evolutionary
to have one anothers backs & beats
could it be
doomtree shows us another way
