when i was 14 the counselor

told me i had...

[[<<O P P O S I T I O N A L
D E F I A N C E  D I S O R D E R>>]]

obviously i

>>|| D E F I E D ||<<

that classification

looking back

i wouldn't say i was any more

defiant than most teens

seemed like a bullshit

excuse to punish those

that wouldn't defer to

authority

sure

i am oppositional defiant

but that's just a reaction to

¡! //B u L L\\ $ H i T\\ !¡

the world has

over the years

increasingly brought out

the life-sized bowling-lane bumpers

for the population at large

all the edges become more more

\~ s   o   f   t   e  n   e   d ~/

as the future arrives

algorithms herding people

into bland

undiffereniated interests

movies hewing to

a decades old formulaic blend

of boring rehashed scripts

national park becoming on the rails

theme parks

for the ever disconnected

from nature public

generations of people growing up

smothered in the bosom of

capitalistic consumption

knowing only their identity through

the products they consume

i'm a mac

i'm a pc

i like game of thrones

i'm an anime geek

i shop at marshalls

i shop at jc penny

diluting what it means to be

a person

so fuck consumption

fuck the game of capital

and a BIG FUCK YOU to

->> (¢on)/$umer $o¢iety

be O P P O S I T I O N A L L Y D E F I A N T

create your own

  ::•°´D i S o/ r d E R•°`::

become a modern day luddite and throw

a BIG FUCKING WRENCH into the algorithms

like posts you don't like

shop for adult diapers as a twenty/thirty something

like Perry Mason instead of Game of Thrones

confuse the fuck out of the AI

a general strike of the workers would be beautiful

BUT

let's call a general strike of the consumers

take back our essential

~ ±  T R U E  S E L V E S  ± ~

from the social engineers

and be fucking human

(or whatever damn animal you want, says a wolf)

again
