The eagerly awaited second offering from the CrimethInc. collective offers up a collection of stories, anecdotes from in and around the margins of drop-out culture. We dumpstered, squatted, and shoplifted our lives back. Everything fell into place when we decided our lives were to be lived. Life serves the risk taker... Guaranteed to be a best-seller. Snap em up while you can.… (más)
"Homelessness. Unemployment. Poverty. If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right."
Rootlessness. Unaccountability. Privilege. If you unapologetically wallow in all three, you aren't a revolutionary.
This book wouldn't be so thoroughly annoying if it wasn't widely promulgated when I was first getting into anarchism as a book about "how to be an anarchist." In fact, it's largely entertaining for its own sake. But the amount of influence it had on late 90s//early 00s anarchists is depressing. And this coming from a straight-edge, vegetarian, anarchist punk who eats trash to keep living costs down. Imagine what people who are not knee deep in the subcultural ghetto of punk that this kid is up to his nose in think about it.
A notoriously stupid text that drips with a toxic anti-social outlook and is completely unaware of its privilege. It is funny how much time he hung out in the suburbs because they're easily scam-able. Never has lifestyle politics seemed not only ineffectual but also joyless and unglamorous. ( )
one of the weaker books published by crimethinc. this book comes off as very childish and preachy. it makes for decent reading, but one would be better off starting with "off the map". ( )
