is the bread we have even real?

 
I just noticed 

how i’m think­ing about the earth again, while most oth­er peo­ple just think about themselves.
 

Let us not forget 

that both nazis and com­mu­nists con­demned us to camps, and the pleb ma­jor­i­ty right now every­one caters to. 

They don’t un­der­stand us, nor do we mean to cater to them. 

It is ineffectual. 

These house gar­den and kitchen nazis and com­mu­nists may seem rep­re­hen­si­ble to us.
 

None the less

are we in our cage among them as is con­sid­ered, un­able to speak, over­whelmed with the sta­tus quo re­marks of theirs? 

With­out our clas­si­cal means to speak to the oth­ers, and to find through our arts.
 

No won­der

this is a dystopia – FLOMM tried to make the mass­es think when they just don’t think.

The ro­bots file in their mem­o­ry. Hu­man ex­pe­ri­ence comes up again as I failed once again.

We are liv­ing in Be­zos and Zuckerberg’s lit­tle bub­ble now; they have flim­sy ideals that put peo­ple in a cat­e­go­ry – like a box – rather then ac­cept dif­fer­ences for the art that we are and let it cross-pollinate.

This is all my system.

I am al­ler­gic to grey – grey peo­ples – I al­ready knew this would hap­pen and it was more grey then expected.

There is an im­pov­er­ish­ment go­ing on with this sub­jec­tiv­i­ty – peo­ple can NOT get out and move to the next level. 

 

As an an­ti­mod­ernist, I am not qual­i­fied to be good either.

I mean, the cloa­ca and so many CRIT­I­CIZE MOD­ERNISM, but if you pro­vide the so­lu­tion then you no longer part of the age.

LOOK AT THAT MEME???

NOW AM I MODERN.

How grand.
 

That per­son is also an an­ti­mod­ernist then???

It does­n’t work on THREE levels:

Say­ing this is the clos­et to your grand­moth­er re­quires a the­o­ry to solve;

by that de­f­i­n­i­tion, that the­o­ry is then not antimodernist;

an­ti­mod­ernism also has the cloa­ca ma­chine and all this oth­er criticism.

And

one would for­get all the bands and the gothics;

and met­al;

are they all antimodernist???
 

I’m giv­ing you ar­gu­ments but i nev­er get any­thing back??

How in­sane is that??
