On Overwhelm

knowing what it is is the key to fighting it

Feeling overwhelmed by the nooz, bombarded with all the gubbmint changeyness, swamped with all the nonsense?  [and I don’t mean “nonsense” as a dismissive pejorative; I mean to describe the piles and piles of stuff we see daily that just doesn’t make sense.  Like politicians calling voters “terrorists” or saying that “living within your means has no meaning”—or ‘economists’ saying that voting against Crap&Raid is “traitorous to the planet”.]

Yeah.  Me, too.  I think that sense of overwhelm is called Cloward-Piven-itis

Yeah, GBeck is a DQ* --- but ya gotta admit, he’s got a point there, somewhere.  Here’s the “Editorial Review” of a book he’s been talking about.  It’s already big in Frants, and coming here on Amazon now [gift wrap available!]

The Coming Insurrection is an eloquent call to arms arising from the recent waves of social contestation in France and Europe. Written by the anonymous Invisible Committee in the vein of Guy Debord—and with comparable elegance—it has been proclaimed a manual for terrorism by the French government (who recently arrested its alleged authors). One of its members more adequately described the group as “the name given to a collective voice bent on denouncing contemporary cynicism and reality.” The Coming Insurrection is a strategic prescription for an emergent war-machine to “spread anarchy and live communism.”

Written in the wake of the riots that erupted throughout the Paris suburbs in the fall of 2005 [I thought those were “disaffected jihaddis youths?”] and presaging more recent riots and general strikes in France and Greece, The Coming Insurrection articulates a rejection of the official Left and its reformist agenda, aligning itself instead with the younger, wilder forms of resistance that have emerged in Europe around recent struggles against immigration control and the “war on terror.”

Hot-wired to the movement of ‘77 in Italy, its preferred historical reference point, The Coming Insurrection formulates an ethics that takes as its starting point theft, sabotage, the refusal to work, and the elaboration of collective, self-organized forms-of-life. It is a philosophical statement that addresses the growing number of those—in France, in the United States, and elsewhere—who refuse the idea that theory, politics, and life are separate realms.

Swell.  I recently overheard someone [forget who] theorizing that, before long, there will be groups of sorry, disaffected Uh-bama voters [the not-so-dead ones] hitting the streets to demand their free ponies and unicorn skittles.  And those “demonstrations” will be planned.  Here’s your literary justification to take that a step further.

He had to be a cat owner.

Claire, believe me, if I had any nice meds, I would be more-than -willing to sell you some at a decent price, ‘cause I put the “Cap Yo Ass!” back in Capitalism!

I just made that up. I blame the cheap beer.

What’s with the guy to Sarah’s left--the eyes, what did he see?

Then the rent a cop on the right of the frame, can’t even shave for Sarah much less for work?

Sarah seems to be pointing to a washed up journalist and laughing.

Red is a power color on some people (like Sarah) and a copycat effort on others.

Sort of like the red ties teh 0ne wears--they don’t work either.

Jeez, Breitbart has got quite a set of balls.  Yeah.  Security. LOTS of it.  Would hate to see him go out with three self inflicted gunshot wounds to the back of the head.
