Had to go into the city the other day to meet up with group of bad thinkers who have heart in right place but brain in matrix still. The dissident straddle that is ubiquitous at this point.
Its young men mostly. Which makes sense on both fronts. They have young kids, great wives, good productive trajectories. They are inheriting the mess but also the same solution set that got us here. How can we keep all the nice but get rid of all the not nice?
The venue was a step into 2019. like it never happened. Pozzitively booming. Commerce of consumption. Lesbians and tatted up yoga girls, urban bugmales with surrender beards, sales teams in sweat wicking plastic golf gear monogrammed with corporate branding loudly toasting their sales funnels.
The midweek after work rush hour over beers without a hint of end of empire “black pill”. I envied them and simultaneously found it to be quite distressing and over stimulating in the wrong ways. Like john Connor riding a bolt into the before times. This is already gone. Unless…
I was the old man. My 1000 yard stare makes the young guys a bit nervous so I took my leave a bit early to let them dwell in their own time and place. Maybe they will figure it out. Become the solution in time.
The long drive home to the poor dirt county had the scene lingering in my mind. A nice glass of merlot in the convertible. Wind in our hair. What’s not to like? I’m a rebel after all. I do what I please.
The commies were right. We are all in this together. The overlooked questions, however, demand answers. Who are we, what is this?
And yet so many nowhere men like me, probing the wire for signs of ” we”.
So many parents of these young families off living their best lives. circling the block, top down, rock n roll filling the air, the greatest hits of some year before now of their choosing. The budding pickleball champion with the brand new $150k titanium knee fully covered by grandfathered no longer available insurance buttressed by the john Hancock guaranteed return of that age old trajectory of American dream portfolios winks to the camera at the little blonde babies those young men have back home. See you at Christmas.
Everything is fine.
In the spirit of the FCC Equal Time Doctrine, here’s a sort-of corresponding list from a guy at Princeton paying $70,000 per year in tuition. (“If you have an hour to procrastinate on your thesis, this guide could spark deeper learning on a topic.”) Oddly, I think his list is serious rather than facetious.

Yes, it’s serious. And not written by a college student. The author is likely a 30ish professional anarchist Antifa veteran who’s been arrested multiple times. Probably has a law degree, given his “reasoned” discourse.
