Criptic Critic Conscience and Known for it

Freer

    If there's been one positive of the Parliament protests for me personally, is being de friended by the perpetual identity crisis of the Woke left. It's like having all the parasitic capitalists who wished they were you (as in actual Public Welfare Socialist) suddenly leave and attach themselves and their cognitive dissonance to some other poor sucker. Blessings to the Capitalists and wage slaves who know it, hate it, say it and still want Socialism! This platform has it's benefits. See you next time (not if I see you first)

    They are basically centre right Liberals. Not Left in any shape or form.

    I realise now, that a lot of these people, who I'd sense on the fringes of my awareness were actually guards of some sort. When they were gone ( and there's plenty more, we'll meet soon) I felt freer to speak. I feel freer to speak. The Fucking Hippi Nasis's and their Freedom Caravan have helped me to speak. Exist. Breathe. I realise now that I was valueing the feeling of belonging to this group, this imagined collective group that had real privilege, they had wealth and postions in capitalist society and I wanted their acceptance. The safety of their engagement, their acknowledgement that I existed. But the price was I couldn't disagree with them. I couldn't articulate what it was that I disagreed with, with out needing to download the entire history of Socialist thought. Too much. I'm trying to do something new. And they were holding me back. With their commitment to capitalist economics and their outings of Socialist fantasies dominating the response, the field. There will be more. But I've at least started to move away, forward. Feels like progress. Towards the unknown. Into the too complicated and forbidden by soft political dogma.

    Good for you Tao. I've had that severing experience also. It brought to mind a quote from 'I Claudius': When Caligula attended the chariot racing at the Coliseum, he was roundly heckled and booed by the crowd. Furious with rage and pointing at the crowd, he hissed, 'Oh, but they only had one neck'. Contacts beware.

    I just feel like I was stopped doing what I wanted to do cause I thought I'd lose the audience I had. I can see now that the audience I had (some) are not who I am interested in. That I need to do and find those I'm actually interested in.

    were'nt the races part of the buying the crowd?


    • Alan Francais Stuart
    Wells Tao For sure. Bread and circuses is the pejorative my father used.

    Alan Francais Stuart always found that term too abstract in a way that I could never translate quickly enough to resemble a rhetorical right hook. But ya.


    • Alan Francais Stuart
    Wells Tao Yeah. Bill was an old-fashioned socialist who went from Fabian to Stalin and then back into Labour activism. He was literary and overloaded on working class optimism. So pithy metaphors were in his quiver. And, yes, it's where I get it from.

    Alan Francais Stuart Who's Bill. Bill Sutch?


    • Alan Francais Stuart
    Wells Tao No, sorry. Bill was my father.

    I miss my Dad. He's still alive, but he thinks I'm a Dole bludger, my art cute, so I've had to cut all ties. He was a professional town planner in developing countries working for the IMF but subversively specialising in the application of consensus democracy in indigenous consultation. A great artist, unfortunately also a narcissist and extremely threatened by me, and driven to compete at all levels.
