Re: Inhabit: Instructions for Autonomy

Dear all, To be honest, I did not get vey far reading this text. I found its enflamed sales-pitch rhetoric counter-productive. And to be honest, it is only one of many, many texts that have been going around for years that call for the same thing: denunciation of the system, creating

Nein, danke [was Re: Inhabit: Instructions for Autonomy]

This thing didn't pass the initial smell test, and after spending some time with it I can say: it stinks. tl;dr: It's provocateur agitprop made by Americans for Americans, and it's crafted to blur distinctions between left and right — more specifically, to lure progressive/leftists into a

Re: Fascist "trolls" and back on track

Dan, Even before your solicitation, I was prepared to be the American 20-something (thanks, also, for your post, Alice): What an interesting experience it's been here on Nettime for the last few years as I've been writing a critical-psychological dissertation about "Internet Addiction" (a

Bruce Sterling and Benjamin Bratton talk 22nd century

Dear nettimers, Enjoyed this video of interview/convo between Bratton and Bruce Sterling, who covers ideas in sci fi as related to industrial design especially as they emerged during Art Deco in US and in NY. Also, “involuntary parks” an interesting way to consider post-natural tracts of land,

Unfortunately I don't have the time to fully respond to every claim of this larger analysis/investigation except to simply say that I think the projection of a white male subject onto a collectively written text (which has happened twice now) is a tired critique of militancy that isn't helpful in

Re: Fascist "trolls" and back on track

Hi Iain, You're right about the "deep intergenerational transmission of a culture of resistance." About the anecdote, just some context: the journalist was asking this question in reminding Macron's "Make the planet great again" vs "Make the USA great again," so the interviewed person was

I agree with Brian. These folks aren’t alt-right. I can’t pin down the politics precisely but Brian gets the Invisible Committee thing right. They’re probably somewhere around leftcom/anarcho-communist/communization. I’m pretty sure they’re somehow connected to the Woodbine collective in

Re: Nein, danke [was Re: Inhabit: Instructions for Autonomy]

This pamphlet reads like an American redux of The Invisible Committee. Its concepts and general outlook go back to a text like "Civil War" in Tiqqun #2. Its production values are within reach of anyone who can afford a laptop, an Amazon bucket and a domain name. Its imagery is of a piece with the

Our Revels Now are Ended.. Or at least they bloody should be! (Or I blame Shakespeare) Yesterday I heard four journos on the radio discussing the unfolding Brexit nightmare (I nearly said ‘drama') in the wake of the resignation of a junior minister whose departure would have caused no more
