He will not sassmouth you or sexually harass your wife like the other guys. He will accept less than minimum wage if you are able to write him a letter of recommendation to a legitimate, qualified driving school - please give him a shot!
Hell yeah. Hell yes.

Sam Kriss, who we all read, love and respect, posted this the other day, which some might take as a cynical implication, but I'll assume was meant in a spirit of camaraderie. You can read more Sam Kriss articles on his 'blog at samkriss.wordpress.com where he delightfully clowns on bourgeois culture from the viper-tongued perspective of an ironic dandy. Sam Kriss would make a great addition to the line-up of columnists at a major daily like The Guardian, especially if you give him time to build a wider audience and let him take some chances with more abstract work.
sam kriss is dumb and gaey

To be fair, both EQ and Henry faved that tweet.

They are on a lower irony tier than Sam Kriss though so they might have missed his possible implication that they were doing cop work. I might have been assuming the worst about Sam Kriss, though, which is why I responded with love.

this is an amateurish interpretation for many reasons. first, it is based on the erroneous assumption that the fbi does work to catch the killers of black people. a quick walk to your nearest skid row will prove the utter falseness of this assumption. second, it misses the subtle implications, of which there are countless and are doubly difficult to decltect through the imperfect medium of text, that neither discipline nor krinkle are truly committed to Marxism-Leninism, nor were they ever at any point. third, it ignores reader-as-actor; simply put, the death of the author. the genius of Sam Kriss is his ability to write in such a way as to eliminate the need to actually espouse a viewpoint and instead put forth a verbal concoction so potent, so ironic, so virulent, that the reader, in order to maintain his or her vitality, must be forced to draw a conclusion on his or her own.
thus the irony of the tweet is its genius. by saying nothing, it forces us, as readers, to say something. by blatantly stating falsehoods in a casual and somewhat condescending manner, kriss invites us, the hitherto flabby meatbag of a reader, to ourselves step forward into ownership of our own thoughts. by saying nothing, kriss opens up words of possibilities. it is truly the magic of the modern word; by the work of the pen, man can make into a Titan which was heretofore a piece of shit decadent who went to a masked orgy and tried to pass it off as cool.

All those posts were sincere. I really do think Sam Kriss should have a column, and I really do think you'd be great at a comedy show. Unfortunately this reminds me of something a wise man one said: "Not being trusted even when you want to be sincere: One of the major pitfalls of selling your soul to the snark gods of the Surface..."
innsmouthful posted:there are many levels of irony within that tweet. on the surface, the lay observer will find only the casual implication that both discipline and Henry Krinkle have abandoned their deep-rooted commitment to revolutionary socialism and have infact crossed the proverbial "rubicon," performing the work of the fbi, an organization that actively works against the so-called goals that both discipline and krinkle allegedly work towards.

You can never go wrong warning anyone who cares to listen against Le Loup. He is all too eager to find new ways to remind people why they avoid him.

I don't really understand legal theory, which I think is mostly mumbo jumbo, but I feel like a good way to derail a murder investigation is for random people to participate in the investigation, reveal major evidence and then say they did it to interfere in the trial on behalf of the prosecution, because they are radicals who hate the defence. You have to wonder what those people were thinking, unless they were secretly working for the US government to derail a trial against one of their agents.

Meant more: If they don't have an issue against "real tankies" than why all the vitriol against a group of people on the internet who happen to agree with said tankies on several issues?
It is not how things are in the world that is mystical, but that it exists.
