otto, darling, it is obvious that you didn't understand my posts to this thread.



first off, to address your crackpot insults directed at me personally, behind roachboy:

like alot of people i work, in my modest way, to help bring down this entire order of things. you make stuff, it's a political action. you put it out into the world, it's a political action. what varies is the channels you use to make the actions, and so who interacts with the results. it is obvious that all of this involves a degree of rationalization--the gap between what one imagines oneself to be doing and what the results of that doing can effect out there in the world is a matter of readership or listenership--as you know, in your way, as i remember somewhere reading that you are or were a musician. so you know the gap that separates what you animates your relation to what you do and what you think it could or should do in the world and what it might actually do.

i am not interested beyond this in connecting my 3-d activities to this thread.
i don't need to defend anything---"what exactly do *you* do to effect the change that you want to see"---funny one internet persona asking that of another.


=================================================

on the networks: when you "strip away the bullshit" as you so daintily put it, what you strip away is the ability to make the first bit of sense of what i wrote to this thread.

i am not interested in fighting my way through reading comprehension issues in order to engage in some no doubt pointless exchange when i know up front that you don't bother to work out what an actual argument is and where it leads to--so since you did not bother to work out what i wrote, what you stripped away was the actual argument, otto, and what that left you with is what you want to see.

i dont have time to deal with reactionary narcissists. either figure out the argument and respond to it, in which case we can talk, or dont--but dont waste my time with some cheap term substitution the only function of which is to enable you to hector me about issues that are only of concern to the version of roachboy that floats around within the confines of your skull, the one that you might be able to imagine takes you seriously.



it's funny how often it turns out to be the case that the folk whose politics blab so much about individual initiative turn out to be inert particles intellectually themselves.
