what is real what is not real

[Salazarstan]

its not spam it ideology and poetry combined, and my work is 100% original i don't need to copy off of anyone.

Well...Max Barry just happens to have written a book called Machine Man. How coincidental.


See the other threads:

Its an allegory kinda what we find with a book title called clockwork organ and honestly how can you call something spam when it fits perfectly into something like arts and fiction last i check poetry is an expression of art and creative writing.

so when max writes crazy shit and publishes it he makes millions plus a site ran by unsavory people, but when i do it people think i am high.

seems legit after all max can simply buy off his critics or silence them.

The difference, Sal, is that Max Barry writes social commentary and satire, while you appear to be transcribing the vapid ramblings of a freshman community college student who dropped acid for the first time this past weekend and is deadly certain that they are the first person alive to have seen the true shape of the universe, had these thoughts and remembered to write them down later.

Nobody is being silenced or bought off. You'll notice your posts are still here. Your criticism isn't, but that's only because, as far as I can tell, you haven't actually given any.

NationStates is a game and a forum, not an actual nation. There is a community, but there's no economy to speak of. There is no proletariat, and if there were, it would be /comprised of the people who actually work on this site/. Like the mods and administrators, whom we, the bourgeois fat-cat users, effectively exploit for our entertainment and sociopolitical schemes.

I'm going to suggest that you go read some more books. Ones that actually challenge your perception of reality. Try to understand that you aren't the first person to think they've solved their world's problems in three easy steps, if only everyone else would follow their line of thought.

Get back to us when you have that nailed down, and you might have something constructive to add to the conversation.

Until then...good luck?

Seriously, Sal, you're writing like an ideological cargo cult. You've built the shape of a demagogue from the content of a runaway auto-correct script trying to parse Das Kapital.

Ease up a little. Don't lose whatever point you think you have trying to chain together one-liner deepities like you're trying to pull off an epic Street Fighter combo. Sociopolitical discourse doesn't work that way.

Words are powerful. They can inspire creation or destruction. They can also whiff the target completely and inspire confusion, ridicule and a gallery of shrugs.

Choosing them wisely doesn't just mean deciding what you /want/ to inspire, it's making sure you /do/.

I mean, if baffled ridicule was your objective all along...good going, buddy?

Between this spiel and Blood and Ink, you're going for the gold in much ado about nothing, aren't you OP?

You mean the Anonymous Flag? Kinda, in a way.

Max Barry do you think your the only one who can move the masses with your words? take heed words can make and destroy empires and through the pin, I shall leave this one as desolate and empty that it will be nothing more then a mere husk.

Salazarstan: You do not need more than one thread for your creative works; for these multiple threads over May 2nd and 3rd, you've earned a *** warning for spamming ***. If you have an issue with Moderation, would like to report something, or would like to appeal something, there are appropriate avenues for that - namely the Moderation board or a Getting Help Request; if you go that route, however, I would suggest not including the vaguely threatening language you have included here.
