DagSeoul: Positions, Populations, Punk, Poetics

“Yeh, actually, I had a radio show on a community radio station up in Canada…”

So, the hipsters have even appropriated the excuse nerds have used for decades to explain their never-present girlfriends. Way to go white people.

getting permission is for suckers

thecheekylibertarian:

There’s a difference between being snarky and being an asshole. I draw the line at incivility towards people who haven’t attacked you personally. I don’t just don’t think abstracting someone into an ideology is anything but degrading and I don’t want to foster hate.

…

Everyone, I give you tumblr.

Everyone, I give you a beautiful soul. We’ll wait for your decision to deal with the implications of what you wrote

until hell freezes over, I’m sure. After all, being a libertarian is never having to engage people who’ve read books. Reading is for communists. And like all beautiful souls, you’re in denial about your responsibility for the shitty things going on around you.

White People Problems: “I’m getting really tired of morally relativistic bullshit.”

slide-to-the-right:

To be relativistic is to claim that a black person is “not really human” to justify your blatant racism the fact that you’re too lazy to get off your ass to pick your own cotton or clean your own house or at least PAY people to do so. It is to pretend that just because slave owners were white, that only white people can be racist and it is impossible to be racist against them. It is to claim that a woman should “get raped” for not being a feminist. It is to immediately denounce anything remotely ‘blaspheming’ Muhammad but feel free to blaspheme Christ in a very public manner. It is to call an unborn fetus a “child” only when they’re wanted. It is to not give a damn about what happened in Benghazi because you’re too blindsighted by the smokescreens the media has conviniently placed in front of the White House, thus you’ve been too busy worshipping him. It is to dig deep into Romney’s personal life to find anything remotely ‘questionable’, but automatically assume anything questionable you’ve heard about Obama to be a lie.

Some things are just plain wrong BOTH ways. Actually, most of the thigs listed here. Logic is not on your side, I’m afraid.

We’re getting really tired of your hysterical hyperbole.

Whenever the white guy joins the discussion with “It is in the best interests,” you know keeping it real will go wrong. Takes a special kind of asshole to smile through this bullshit.

the cloak of disingenuous deflection

One outfit in the intellectual’s wardrobe. He puts on the cloak and enters the room. He approaches, lurks until you ask, “What’s up?”

“I don’t think I know much of anything at all; i’m just having a good time…

“You shouldn’t take me seriously. Wow…right. Well, I don’t even take myself seriously…

“I’m just fooling around. Having fun. I am the fun guy around here…

“Ignore my dirty looks, I’m not at all trying to be sarcastic nor is this meant to be ironic…

“I’m not lurking!

“Yes, I’m serious but not really…Both at the same time. I know I said you shouldn’t take me seriously, but you should…Or not…

“I do work, sure, but it’s not part of this part of my life. Being here is meaningless to me…

“It only looks like I come around all the time, that I’m here when you’re here. I’m actually somewhere else doing important stuff with important people.”

He strokes his chin, grins, burps, snaps cloak over the shoulder, strides beyond you into the kitchen for a donut before leaving for class, coffee shop, the bar, wherever. Or, something like that.

I think that you are forgetting that some white human beings understand that we will never understand what minorities have been through and we support those trying to dismantle racism.

Not all of us should be disliked for a portion of our population.

We know that we will never be able to relate to the terrible things you’ve been through but just because we’re subjugated to a racist society where white privilege is a very real thing does not mean we do not try to make amends for it.

Some of us aren’t demons who wear white sheets and burn crosses.

WHITEY McGHEE

White social justice teenagers: If you read something on tumblr, and you feel like writing something like this in response, STOP.

Don’t do it because you’re always going to be automatically wrong.

No matter where you think that pain is coming from that tells you to ask to people of color to be nice to you, the cool white person, you’re being a douche. You’re trying to enforce a white, grotesque, and liberal law of the heart on the discourse. That law of the heart you want to impose of discourse is part of whiteness working to restore the authority of white supremacy within the discourse about whatever it is your reading and writing about.

Nobody cares if you’re a good person or not. Get up of your privileged ass, go out in the street, and do some work. Leave the writing to people who can create engaging text and who refuse to narrate guilt, colorblind rhetoric, and trite expressions about universals and justice. Thanks! There’s nothing wrong with admitting that you know little to shit about the world, that you have a lot to learn outside of what you read on the internet and watch on TV.

You can’t support people who try to dismantle racism. You can only betray your own privilege and whiteness. Honestly, if you’re not willing to begin with you and your experiences, if you believe you can simply locate bigotry in others and elsehwere as social activism, you’re only re-enforcing oppressive apparatuses, systems, and discourse.

From this crap last night to bonehead boys tonight.

CAN’T YOU UNDERSTAND WHY I CAN’T STAND WHITE PEOPLE? Reactionary Whiteness is all about The Other, all about But I’m Not Racist. Bullshit.

Earnest Ernest Sewell says, “Government is bad” (ANARCHY IS STUPID)

ernestsewell:

1. We don’t want to turn your government anarchist.  That makes as much sense as accusing you of wanting to dye your hair “bald”.
2. We get it, there’s no historical precedent. That tends to be a common problem with new things, yet new things are created every day.
3. We don’t expect utopia. If you think that’s what we’re after, maybe it says more about your idea of the function of government than ours.
4. Some of us live with our parents, and maybe even have a room in the basement. Some of us are parents.  Most of us are just adults with lives not too different than yours.
5. Arguing on Facebook is not how we think we’re getting anything done, it’s what we do in our spare time. It’s what we do to connect with each other, to exercise our ideas before applying them out in the real world, or just for fun.
6. Convincing you is not important to us, except in an abstract or personal sense.  You’re probably not as important as you’d like us to think you are.
7. We’re not seeking consensus, nor to sway the masses. The requirement that our lives be ruled by public opinion is one of the things we oppose.
8. We’re not the ones breaking Starbucks windows. We like coffee too.
9. We’re not trying to mooch off the system, we want to be free to produce for ourselves the useful things the system produces, and to do it better.
10. We’re against a lot of the same things you are, and more.  We value most of the same things you do, and maybe more highly. It’s our means that are different. When those values and oppositions come into conflict, we don’t make excuses, we resolve it.
11. We’re not nihilists.  We’re for a lot more than we’re against, it’s just that the main thing we’re against is so overwhelming it blots out the view of everything else.
12. Solving problems requires work and time.  We’re not the ones with illusions of having our wishes fulfilled through documentation and edict.
13. We don’t blame you for creating the system, but we’re amused by how obviously self-fulfilling your prophecy that “we can’t do anything about it” is.
14. We don’t want a violent revolution, we want billions of peaceful ones.
15. “We” are neither a monolith nor a collective. We’re not defined by our label, our label is a recognition of the overlap between our individual beliefs. Extrapolate from it at your own risk.

COLLECTIVISM IS THE PITS…INDIVIDUALISM IS THE TITS

You all remember Anarchei? A posted this October last year:

We had a lot of fun with this nonsense; the blogger was not pleased. Well, Anarchei has never given up trying to distil how anarchism is actually capitalism, liberty, and volunteering. Here’s where the project to warp anarchism has ended up. It’s as precious as a voluntarist can get:
