A response to your faceless attacks. anonymous January 10 2004, 02:23:39 UTC
First of all, you know very little Jessica. Do some reading, learn about techniques of acitivism, don't simply put everything that you disagree with into the "dumb activist" category. Also, spell-checker helps make an argument sound somewhere between 10-20 times more intelligent. I'm not quite sure why you hate me so much, I had actually forgotten you existed. I didn't realize reading Daniel Quinn, Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn was so hippie and "sunflower'esque. Fight the system from within? You know what you are? A privelaged white women in a white country. According to Ward Churchill, your ideolgy is rascist. You look down at those of us from minority communites who decide enough is enough, fuck this, and let's take it to the next level. Changing a system from within is the problem, I don't want change. I want a revolution, I want all people's needs met. You think this state will give us that? Do you think any state will give us that? No, you feel bad for poor Iraqi's and poor this or that because they are below you. My IQ is much higher than yours little girl, I would step up to an intellectual challenge rather than reffering to me as a "jizzbucket." The fact is, you should do some reading and realize that the system benifits people like you, so you have no problem talking about people being "eco-terrorists" but it works. Look at history, The Boston Tea Party is very akin in ideology and strategy, as is Gandhi Ji's support of burning english fabrics. I live with a history majour, I don't believe it's all "lies", I know much more about it that you I'm sure. For example, have you read Emma Goldman's letters on feminist anarchist ideology? Have fun reforming a system so you can go to bed at night feeling better that your not as bad as the president, but remmeber you quickly turned and went establishment when the time came.
This will be the ONLY reply I give of this sort, your a waste of space.

We build the Internet for you and this is how you thank us ;)

I'd love to hear the lofty views about what is wrong with the US and how you suggest you can "fix" it. From reading what you said in this thread though, it sounds like you are someone with a chip on your shoulder so big that it's easier for you to complain than to actually do something constructive about it. You must feel the world owes you for some reason. Your life is what YOU make of it, and the great thing about America is that people can decide to agree with you or not. The fact that they don't is your cross to bear, not theirs. And for whatever group you propose to represent with this indignation, I bet I can find someone just like you who has succeeded under the very inequalities and systematic road-blocks you claim are holding you back.

Best of luck with your revolution. If you can't maintain your cool here, I doubt you are going to be very convincing out in the real world.

his whole spiel was pretty mundane. i said all those things too...in like junior high. the mentioned books were surely assigned by Bolshevik-esque professors, with left over dreams of the vietnam era.

people like that somehow separate themselves from a government from which they reap the most benefits. they have the ability to pull their privileged "underrepresented race card" and get more financial aid, better employment, etc. sometimes i think we should get rid of that whole "first amendment thing," just so they can see what a hyper-privileged country the US really is.

and i'm adding you. thanks for the comment.
