October 2014 – roasty
https://stillroasty.wordpress.com/2014/10
Of Bumblefuckery and Bad Apples. So I’m writing this against the context of RancidSassy’s brilliantly done post. On the use of ‘agency’ in completely non-left fashion (if you haven’t read his piece yet, stop and do so now, seriously it’s great). And up front, I may be re-treading stuff he’s already said, I just wanted to get a reaction piece up while I was thinking about it. 8212;—————————————–. He also nails exactly why this is a problem:. This particular block of Celeb Lefts seems absolutely dead-set o...

September 2014 – roasty
https://stillroasty.wordpress.com/2014/09
September 11, 2014. 2 Comments on Bye Twitter. Your Revolution is Depressing as Fuck. Over on Tarzie’s blog there’s been an interesting discussion around a post he has up. But it’s really not ultimately the ‘real’ radical crap that bothers me, and it was my mistake for getting drawn into it; the abstraction. The first question anyone who calls themselves a radical should ask, in my opinion, is why. Are they a radical? Do they oppose colonialism and empire and death and destruction and and and? Fuck You L...

The Intercept Becomes Its Own Punchline in Weak War-Profiteer Exposés | 100 Flamingos
https://cienflamingos.wordpress.com/2015/01/02/the-intercept-becomes-its-own-punchline-in-weak-war-profiteer-exposes
The Intercept Becomes Its Own Punchline in Weak War-Profiteer Exposés. January 2, 2015. An oceanfront Palm Beach penthouse is a sexy backdrop. At Freeh, we’re meant to be outraged at his involvement in defending an Israeli billionaire — the first time we’ve seen the word used with an implied negative connotation at. 8212; on bribery charges. The entire article is about the accused, capped only by a schmucky assurance that “Freeh could be just the right guy to exonerate” his client. And yet, Silverstein t...

The Empire Isn’t a Thing, It’s a Concept | 100 Flamingos
https://cienflamingos.wordpress.com/2014/11/05/the-empire-isnt-a-thing-its-a-concept
The Empire Isn’t a Thing, It’s a Concept. November 5, 2014. In my daily falling-down-the-rabbit-hole-style perusing of the internet, I randomly rediscovered this great article. By Alexander Cockburn (RIP) on the worst of 9/11 conspiracy theory. It’s an excellent take on how the focus on bizarrely minute details are harmful distractions from the world’s. 8212; and through proven examples of official incompetence. Great stuff! It’d be incredibly, almost purposely dumb, right? Bush fucked up Iraq! That rake...

Resistance Can Be Useless | 100 Flamingos
https://cienflamingos.wordpress.com/2015/01/10/resistance-can-be-useless/comment-page-1
Resistance Can Be Useless. January 10, 2015. In this follow-up based on some interactions with friends. On Twitter, I just want to discuss some objections to the idea that the. Attack was actually resistance and not some sort of false-flag. I’ll preface it by saying I don’t claim to know anything about who the attackers were or their true motives. My original post. Hassan Nasrallah’s life has been spent — well-spent! A ferociously confident man like he must be wouldn’t feel the sting of some frogs ...

August 2015 – roasty
https://stillroasty.wordpress.com/2015/08
This Whiskey Is Missing It’s Owner, and the World Laments. My dad died on Friday. It’s taken me 3 days to get to the point where I can type that statement without completely falling apart. At 1:30 AM on Friday, August 21st, 2015, my dad died. He lived a fascinating life. Growing up depression-era poor, lost his own dad at 12, and found himself getting his first job. Between his under the table and odd jobs, and my grandma’s minimal waitress salary, they got by. Earth, receive an honoured guest:. He had q...

Who You Callin’ a Snitch? In radical circles there aren’t a lot of worse accusations than that. It’s one of those things that will dog you for life, whether it’s true or not. But if that wasn’t problematic enough, there’s an even more fundamental problem with the term: what does it even mean? At it’s base level it might seem easy to define: giving up information to the State that implicates or harms other folks in your movement. Sounds easy, right? THE STATE HOLDS ALL THE CARDS. March 15, 2013. But incre...

December 2016 – roasty
https://stillroasty.wordpress.com/2016/12
Say what you will about the last month and a half (you know, that post-electoral period of time where liberals suddenly woke up to the fact that fascism exists, then predictably made it all about them), but one thing it’s done for me personally is forced me to take a hard look at what my purpose as a leftist is. Even if we are trying to make people aware of it by exposing propaganda and lies. That experience was eye-opening, but it was quickly subsumed by a less-concrete form of ‘activism’: y...Yeah) It ...
