'About a decade ago The Coming Insurrection' was suddenly fashionable among people I did not respect or take seriously in San Francisco. I didn't read it and ill-judged the work based on the company it kept, which is admittedly not a forthright way to deal with this stuff. I am more that willing to believe the excoriating critique of it presented here -- but I also know that the author is someone who endlessly poses as a ferocious insurrectionary in the very safest of hermetically sealed subcultural safe spaces, and that if he or anyone who takes his philosophizing seriously could be taken seriously they would be taken seriously by friend and foe alike in the big bad world around us, and that is not the case by a long shot! Gosh, I wonder why?
