A Course in Anti Shock
Introduction to Anti Shock

Anti Shock is the cure to the Shock Doctrine, as detailed by Naomi Klein, in her book of the same name. She describes a strategy of coarse attrition against public institutions. The radical right argue that deconstruction of fixed public services makes society more efficient. They say it reduces dependency on costly government.

They claim the private sector is under economic pressure to provide cheap services. If people like products, the economic pressure is on competing vendors. If people need products, the economic pressure is on the consumer. Companies have a million legal and effective ways to avoid competition and prevent innovation.

Left or right wing, charismatic elitists and idealists are not interested in the future. They destroy public power and wealth for the sake of their world view. People lose their sense of direction trying to pick up the pieces, not knowing what problems need to be solved first. This disorientation is what causes apathy, not laziness, or boredom, as it makes it impossible for people to prioritize their goals.

The Anti Shock model helps us get moving, by mapping where we’re going. We don’t ask, “What can we do?”, as it feeds an echo chamber of helplessness. Instead, Anti Shock asks four questions for every problem. We ask, “Why do we want to take action?”, “What resources do we have?”, “Who can help?”, and “How can we do this?” We cover every angle, by combining all our useful ideas, experiences, values, and skills.

I love Kickstarter. I think that’s clear to people who know me by now? I love it. There’s a dude named Brad Muir and he works at Double Fine and I love the games they make, so much. But before Kickstarter, every time a Double Fine game came out I was a little worried it would be their last,…

tl:dr guy writes an advice book for getting laid, and it’s extra-super-rapey. It’s going to achieve funding in nine hours, apparently, unless Kickstarter kicks it off for being, you know, rapey.

Okay, here’s my advice to you (and young journalists in general):

1.) You basically have to be willing to devote your life to journalism if you want to break in. Treat it like it’s medical school or law school.

2.) When interviewing for a job, tell the editor how you love to report. How your passion is gathering information. Do not mention how you want to be a writer, use the word “prose,” or that deep down you have a sinking suspicion you are the next Norman Mailer.

3.) Be prepared to do a lot of things for free. This sucks, and it’s unfair, and it gives rich kids an edge. But it’s also the reality.

4.) When writing for a mass audience, put a fact in every sentence.

5.) Also, keep the stories simple and to the point, at least at first.

6.) You should have a blog and be following journalists you like on Twitter.

7.) If there’s a publication you want to work for or write for, cold call the editors and/or email them. This can work.

8.) By the second sentence of a pitch, the entirety of the story should be explained. (In other words, if you can’t come up with a rough headline for your story idea, it’s going to be a challenge to get it published.)

9.) Mainly you really have to love writing and reporting. Like it’s more important to you than anything else in your life—family, friends, social life, whatever.

10.) Learn to embrace rejection as part of the gig. Keep writing/pitching/reading.

Subcomandante Marcos has a message to Gezi Resistance:  → th3funnyguy.tumblr.com

anoncentral:



To the all citizens of the world,


Fellows, Sisters, Women, Men, Homeless People, Poor People, They asked us how many people the Zapatas are and we told them there are hundreds of thousands out there who are fighting for their rights and freedoms. Now today, we hear that on the Anatolian lands, the land of Turks, Kurds, Circassians, Armenians, the Lazs, and many more than i can count, thousands of masked people who wants to live in honor are hailing for freedom. Like Kurdish fellows who were in an honorable fight. We knew that we were not alone, there were millions of us out there and we weren’t alone since we have started fighting. Today, we see that we are increasing. We hear that people in Turkey shout out “Ya Basta!” and they are in a riot to defend their honor against to the oppressive ruling of Turkish government. The Great Istanbul, the capital of masters throughout history, is now the capital of riot, and it has become the voice of oppressed ones. We see that on the streets of the great Istanbul are now the capital of women, children, men, homosexuals, Kurds, Armenians, Christians and Muslims. The ones who have been humiliated, oppressed, ignored for decades by their government are now saying “We Are Here.” We are thrilled!


We have never wanted a new governance, a new government or a new prime minister. We just asked for respect. We wanted the goverment to respect our requests of freedom, democracy and justice. People of Turkey are demanding for these and resisting for days: Now starting from the ingoing goverment, and all the governments who are going to be in charge, we want you to respect our requests of freedom, democracy and justice! And if you don’t do that, we, who are the owners of rights and freedoms, will stand against you, we’ll fight on the streets until you learn to respect. We don’t want too much, we just want you to respect our rights. Because we know how we want to live, we know well how we want to govern and be governed. We want to govern ourself and decide about ourself.


And we are greeting people of Turkey who are fighting for an honorable life from here, and we want to tell that the fire of riot has warmed Chiapas. Solidarity with the ones who saved the history from past and future and moved to present.

As if shit hadn’t gotten real before.

“Khrushchev’s 1956 visit to Britain aboard a Soviet battleship led to a famous scandal. The spy agency MI6 hired a middle-aged ex-navy frogman, “Buster” Crabbe (pictured), to inspect the battleship’s advanced propellor in Portsmouth harbour. Crabbe’s dive went wrong, his headless body was found in a frogman suit, and the Russians gleefully made a public diplomatic protest.” —Britain’s long history of spying on visiting dignitaries | World news | The Guardian

"Restaurant" by Shane Koyczan (from Visiting Hours)

fuckyeahkoyczan:

I met a man who makes meals at a restaurant
where there’s no menu
but everything’s on it
impossible
I know
but I met a man who makes meals at a restaurant
called death row
I met a man who makes the last meals
and I know way too many people
who would attack him asking him how it feels
to be part of something like that
so instead we just chew the fat
and I listen

he tells me about a 31-year-old boy
                            a 31-year-old boy
who was sentenced at the age of 22
waited nine years on death row
and last week was his turn
so he asked for sourdough french toast
and a side of magic beans
because a boy would rather face down a giant
take his chances with a beanstalk
than walk down that hall
where every footfall echoes into that oblivion
where every experience never had congregates
to create a world never lived in
a boy could find himself asking for things like magic beans
and a cook find himself understanding what it means
to be desperate

Shane Koyczan was killing time in a bar at 11am, a huge bar, 200 chairs, and totally empty. This guy comes in, sits down at the bar right beside him, and orders four whiskies. Shane figures the guy must have a story, and this is the story he told.
