Conversation: RNC protests
Again, Eric and I find ourselves at productive odds.
Eric on the protests and a comments back-and-forth
Eric's next plank and my rejoinder
Posted by Sam at September 9, 2004 07:26 AM
eric is sincere but
i fear he's perhaps
hopelessly mired in his own
ten foot wide abstractions
quoting winston smith
gives one an idea
calling the p&j crowd
bureaucrat wanna bes
this is well
junior high rage
he needs to get over hisvanity
rage and
useless unpoetic dispair
by joining some practical out fit
with a finite mission
maybe even one
he can tame his mountainous sense
of a worthy crusade
and get with
if there is no such animal
out there walkin around
aahh well
theres where my use
of "hopelessly"
comes in

struggling with our inner erics
reading meats comment
it occured to me
i was an eric once
more or less
I remember
being closest to an eric
during the huge fuss and feathers
demosand occupations
that transpired down there
on Kampus klown School
right after old nick hisself
invaded cambodia
that woulda been in the spring of 70
heres me while eating a triplex
length Dad's cheese dog :
" shit what you student freaks
THINK yer up to here
this is amerika
besides
what did you expect
to provoke
another police riot
shit
this ain't LBJ's Amerika
today yer facin'
Nixon's amerika
what do you double expect
you ain't goin to nam
yer white yer educating your sick self
some one else is picking up the tab
so
kool off and drop in
try
makin'
an aesthetic revolution
by the way
fer you ginks
thats done
one head at a time
not one herd at a time "
now i had no
"pernicious
safety valve"
denos iz really
system stabilizing
type wind tunnel test model
of a social dynamics theory
to buttress my
" its got to be
about each one of our
BIG MES
first last and only ism "
shit how could i
where was the time to formulate one ?
at that particular period
in my education (sentimental division )
i had a chick
that had
very effectively
Humbertizing the pinkster
a chick
tanned
smooth
and willowy of limb
who
my pot shot madness
has
planning
every moment her sexual quilty powered liberation
so fuck
whos got computer space
for building
exculpatory rationalizations
when yer gal right in mid conjecture
might
duck out
and be discovered
on ly too later
45 minutes into
gettin perfectly
dicked by
well
prolly
that
that
that
virile ropey armed
coal haired
gator ally dude
that just joined
the Kollege grounds crew
and I caught raking
outside our room window
too long yesterday

Pinky - Eric here.
Say I lived down the street from you and managed to tame my mountainous sense of crusade -- though I don't think it is that, but we'll say... What "practical outfits" are there around you that you would advise me to join up with? What would I be doing within this practical outfit. What are its goals?
Posted by: tic tic tic tic tic at September 12, 2004 12:07 AM
the service employee union or the commercial workers union
Posted by: pinky at September 12, 2004 11:57 AM
Posted by: Eric at September 13, 2004 02:40 PM
yes unions
thats where the proles are herded
proles mr smith proles
the god damn proles
can't live with em
can't live without em
-----------------------
funny about your name sake
mr orwell
in '84
he has
his sourly self serious
hero
a guy with a pebble sized
sense of personal irony
wade into the prole sea
only up to his ankles
at best
be4 he fetches up
in an antique shop
an antique shop
mind you
full of old curiosities
from be4 "the fall"
god its a front
for brother biggles
who'd a thunk it
my moral of the tale
of the writing of '84
if not its story
seeking petty refuge
inside
your own curiosity shop of horrors
will prove to have a false bottom
a one way mirror
the self realization
as they chop your brain out
don't cut much real ice
eric
so you escape
klean
for a moment or a life time
escape clean
from the gin soaked wagerys'
wall to wall bafoonery
and pug ugly
vicious ignorance
-------------------------------------
can u
see yerself now
in
winston ?
problem george didn't
really see himself except up close
but
then libertarians are like that
left or right
whether they compound
the burden of a love for personal liberty
with a craving for equality too
or
relieve themselves
by shitting on the proles
and
exhaulting in their superiority
like say
that devil roper h l mencken
my Rx
for libs of either color
as for all
toxic doses
of freedom headedness
wade into the prole sea brother
but make it at least up to your neck
and stay put
for 5 years minimum
or till u have left yourself
no bridge of return to burger communes
of gated communities
when that little voice says to ya
" sorry escape is no longer possible
sir
u arenow hopelessly
common and ordinary "
good luck
sail forth
wage among the hapless geeps of wagery america
wage wage wage wage wage
forget the ivory garret
cast off the robes
of outsider visionary
shoot
the lone wolf genii
in yer head gear
throw out
the perfumed bigmee shit
cut out
the smolder of the wasteland prophet
and
put your shoulder
to the wheel
the sting of real exploitation awaits
then unionize walmart
or midas muffler
or macdonalds
or the disney shops
or the gap
or super cuts
or or or .....
-------------------------------
just roll in that
real prole shit
eric
till ya stink
so bad
of the crassery of exploitation
you suave friends
will shun you
and
you loose
yer god given
sense of
intrinsic empty questing completeness
warning
there is no equality
waiting for u out there
those bunking
be4 the mast
have no invitations out
for u either of course
but
there is
always the sinking in wet sand
try it
"only begotten son "
or at least
steer clear
of the attic hide a ways
get near unions
cringe at the philistines
if you must
maybe
the proles
can do fer u
what u
quite wrongly think
u can do fer them

So your advice then -- If I understand it -- is to basically immigrate to a hardcore working class neighborhood. Get a low paying job doing menial rote work. Willingly struggle to pay rent and make ends meet, to make myself more of a "true" proletariat. Willingly subject myself to the more overt forms of exploitation... deny all supposed priveleges to develop a better consciousness free from my foolish libertarianism, and then unionize...
Yes? No? sort of?
Posted by: Eric at September 13, 2004 05:00 PM
thats about it
minus some of the coloration
in there
that makes it seem like a sacrifice
or a monks hairshirt
i guess where we diverge the most
is over the value of an individual conciousness
a better idea a better perception
dime a dozen
stuff
whats the diff really between
one in a thousand
and
one in a million
you can take that one in a thousand right on in there with ya eric
i've not lost my edge
and i've been among em for 35 years
with only a few years off for good behaviour
