Everybody afraid of being mooched off of.

We Americans are trained from birth to hate a mooch, and to be especially hyper vigilant against getting taken advantage of by those “lower” than us.

But we will let those we see as our “betters” take advantage of us all day long. Subservience to power and sycophants to the wealthy.

Unless you wear a cool pirate hat while doing it.

Captain Taliban?

After being on a idealist anarcho-syndicalist kick for decades, I am now Pragmatic Communist Authoritarian after having played on a Commie Minecraft server over the summer.

Their dialectics won me over.

Metaphorical buses get the guillotine.

Real buses get nicer seats, better driver pay, and more stops and buses doing the same route.

I just don’t have the balls.

I, for one, wound up here. ^_

Assets and bank accounts frozen if fingers in ears.

I did see a nice YouTube post from an artist recently about how a lot of artists in America also seem to have perhaps bought into the myth that they must work, develop, and improve themselves alone. The poster insisted that this concept of the lone artist rising from nowhere to success was a myth spread by those wishing to isolate artists on purpose, and that artists should do the exact opposite to as extreme an extent as their capacity for being around others would permit.

It’s hard, tho, I get it. As a technologically oriented creative, I am also extremely introverted. But I know for a fact that avoiding collaboration has stunted my artistic growth.

I am gonna disrupt Alabama and make a “gummy” door dash app.
