... the other Black experience
Permalink Reply by Kyler Jones on Dude I hear your frustration but I'd suggest getting a couple of years of experience before you lash out at folks for being conformists... I burned my bridges to the mainstream some time ago and listen, ain't shit easy about trying to survive in a society where there are no allowances made for those who eschew the shitstem... how do you pay rent when no one buys your tee shirts, music or whatever you're using your hands and wits to create???? you gonna live on the street? you gonna hustle, steal? Shorty, I'm in my 20's with "old man anger* and although I don't fuck with the mainstream society, I understand that those mu'phuckas with jobs and degrees spend money on shit that we create.. money that punks don't have so we need them. I'd like to be privy to what your plans are and how things progress for you in the next few years....

So, other than complaining about what other people should be doing, what are you doing that is changing the world?
I mean it's hard to be a revolutionary when you have a curfew, so I'd love to read what you've accomplished. Oh sorry everyone else can't live off mommy & daddy and stick it to "the man" like you are obviously doing.
I can't help the fact that I live with parents who I love, but when I'm 18 I can move out and start an Anarchist community, because that's what I truly believe in. ANd I'm going to follow my heartI don't care that you all conform to the system, I just think it's disgusting that you call yourselves rebels and punks when you really are just sell outs. Your no different than the so called mainstream morons you detest, you really aren't and that's the truth regardless if your hair is blue or blonde your all swim in the same bullshit.
Also, I'm not attacking everyone,but I'm also acknowledging those that didn't sell out. I don't know everyone on here, but I know that this entire website in whole has sold out.
So put yourself in whatever category you want. But once you read this and comment, you've become involved and therefore it was obviously directed towards you.
You'll get over this stage in your life. But it sucks to see another member leave over petty stuff...

I can only wish I had my degree by now, but regardless I'm sure that I meet some of your criteria for being a bona fide sellout. Ne'ermind the poverty line straddlin' ... lol.
My plan is to follow my heart.I believe in chaos and anarchy, because that it the natural order of this world, believe it or not. It's easy to conform to the system, living off of each paycheck with a roof over your head, and be safe. I wanna tear everything down, and see what happens.
Anyway, call me crazy but when I think of TRUE™ anarchy (as you call it), I don't think "utopia". I think of rape and lawlessness. Lots of rape, lots of lawlessness, lots of dog-eat-dog type of shit. Maybe we've been bred on different fairy tales.
...
It amazes me how someone could feel important enough to show their ass over the 'net before they stop visiting a website. Afropunk is a website, dude. It's not a savior riding to earth on a meteorite; it's not the impetus of an anarchist revolution. It's a website. Just sell/donate your computer if you can't control your compulsions to log on and look down on absolute strangers.
You're not the first to cry "anarchy" and you won't be last. But for the sake of personal grace, stop crying on the internet.

Nuff said, really, but you (Kyler) didn't answer this poster's question: What are your plans for survival?
When I was younger, I noticed that people seem to be less forgiving of such temper tantrums as you age. Besides, I had to keep working because no one was going to feed me out of pity while I figured out how to overthrow the institutions that governed my environment. It's "cute" now, but what about when you're older, your body starts to break down, and you've no reliable means of subsistence? Folks may find it less endearing, and the homeless are not popular people; the toothless war vets outside of my neighborhood gas station would kill for the kind of security you're most likely enjoying under your parents' roof.
Not gonna dance on my paycheck; gonna cash that fucker and eat tolivethrive. Good luck, though!

Permalink Reply by Kyler Jones on Because idiots like yourself, are creating even more drama that I have to deal with. You misunderstand the term "Anarchist Community". Running away to the woods is not going to save the world, dipshit.The woods are not a stable habitat since they are constantly being cut down and destroyed for more suburban hell holes.GET. THE. FUCK. OUT.
you dramaseeking bitch.
lol. seriously, if you hate money go and live as much of your life w/o depending on anyone or any thing else--like utilities. i really respect folks who actually go this route--quite a few have... y'know raising families in the woods w/ no electricity or running water. living off the grid is a way to go too... but you sound like you'll be a tourist in those "scenes", but who knows, maybe that'll be up your alley.
i just don't understand why YOU'RE STILL HERE and still bitching. get the fuck out already.
also who is we?
