coma's a quick and easy read but it's also the least interesting of his books. still ok though. It's funny because fred hersch, the pleasant jazz pianist and longtime aids sufferer, came out with an extended suite about his coma hallucinations at the same time and both works are so different in scope
yeah

when will I have time to make the comprehensive herzog thread i dreaming about!!!
go back to telling us all how black people only live in north america
That's not what I was saying at all. Afrikans in North America are qualitatively different than the rest of the first world because they are the ancestors of slaves brought there, rather than immigrants. Actually, I left out another important group, indigenous peoples. Hard to keep track of all the people I oppress as a white petit bourgeois. Anyway, these groups are qualitatively different from immigrants insofar as integration involves losing a political claim that's essential to the history of their circumstances. They cannot integrate without discarding who they are. Of course, settlers see them the same way, so that Amerikkkan history is a continuous slow genocide. One might be tempted to say that the inner distance the immigrant can maintain is simply a reflection of the real distance in cultures. However, it's easy to see that these special groups and immigrants will become increasingly similar as capitalism progresses, for as we all know, the corollary for neo-liberal society is biopolitics, the mechanization of genocide. I think this will first appear as the disorder in inner-city slums intensifies, so that they become both concentration camps and flashpoints of international black markets for bodies. Across Amerikkka these are becoming holes in the geography as the government withdraws from these areas. South Central LA is actually a very good example of this, as conditions there have deteriorated far past what they were in the 90s: almost all medical services have left, not even Walmart will set up shop there, police are distinct from society as an occupying force, and wild dogs roam the streets.
However, I'm digressing a bit. What's important is that immigrants and former slaves / indigenous peoples, for the time being, require qualitatively different kinds of struggle. White people must both keep immigrants at a distance so that they do not tempt them into reactive behavior, while embracing former slaves / indigenous peoples as symptomatic of their inner negativity. This is where the language of purification becomes useful. What's important to this is that it's not a metaphysical concept like purity. For example, if I were Fascist, I would think various institutions in society are poisoned by some devious element. However, what this ignores is that the institutions themselves are poison. What is poisoned are people, and for those that are especially infected, like white people, hygiene becomes a revolutionary asset. Before white people can focus on building solidarity, they must purge themselves of reactive forces and take deterritorialization to the limit. They must isolate themselves from their current peers and take the lonely life of travel, so that they might some day be worthy of new peers. Because if you're an exploiter there's only one true path, and that's class suicide.
So say there's a ML conference near me discussing real shit going on in India. That's cool, but what's important is: can I do anything significant for them? And what I'm here to say is probably not, and that's the case for most white people. In fact, there's a lot of things I'm incapable of and a lot of things I'm capable of fucking up, even if I focus on oppression here. For example, in America there is a major shift among Maoist groups towards prison activism. But there's a very fine line between getting someone thrown in solitary because I was propagandizing Bob Avakian's hackery to them and actually helping prisoners. Same goes for teaching inner-city kids: I could either help them or ruin education forever for them. Their proximity can easily hide the fact that they require far more than I can imagine, so much so that it would actually be easier to travel to another country and live there for awhile.
"A guest is that foreigner who for a time becomes homely in a homely place foreign to them, and thus themselves bring what is homely for them into the homely of the foreign and are received by the homely of the foreign... In guest-friendship, however, there also lies the resolve not to mix what is one's own, with the foreign, but to let the foreigner be the one he is. Only thus is a learning possible in guest-friendship..."

not even Walmart will set up shop there
OH NO!

I went out to take the can out to the side of the road, and oh my god it smelled stinky. It must have been cooking in the sun for like 48 hours, and it probably didn't help that I had eaten Taco Bell and had a mild case of diarrhea.
Hopefully some of my fellow NEETs will heed this warning and not get broadsided like I did. If you shit in a trash bag and leave it outside, it'll get really stinky after a day or two. Your neighbors might even smell it and then you'll be that guy who shits in trash bags until you move somewhere else or get new neighbors.
Last night I slit the back of a tinkerbell goodnite open and stuffed two luvs size fives inside. It was great, I soaked them all and snuck out before anyone woke up to throw them away. That was the biggest diaper I've ever worn. I also just bought a cloth diaper just to wear for fun and not pee in since I don't think I could regularly sneak washing it past my parents. Maybe I could wash it in the jacuzzi.
Why on earth would you think that most NEETs live alone?
Freedom to take it easy. truNEETs don't care about any social interactions and would rather not be pestered and prevented from shitting on the floor by family right? Granted family may sometimes cook and clean for you but other times it's not worth the tradeoff.

They have to cross check several different forum accounts or any other social media profile to ensure a safe space.
