Against Imitation by Jackson Paslay
βPerhaps the highest object of art is to bring into play simultaneously all these repetitions, with their differences in kind and rhythm, their respective displacements and disguises, their divergences and decentrings; to embed them in one another and toβ¦
there isn't much of a point having all this propaganda material and people don't know what its fighting for. after publishing online i will format it so that it can be folded into zines and be distributed irl

"Having nothing against reason and rational order, in the numerous cases in which it is clearly opportune (like anyone), I support them both. I do not know if anything in this world has ever appeared adorable which does not exceed the needs of utility, does not devastate and freeze the blood, even as it charms, which was not, in short, on the point of being no longer endurable." Georges Bataille

"No more will we contend ourselves with the moving images of the modern era. Anyone who can look will see the stupidity that emulates emotion and conviction in Capitalist society. We live in the era of the Deadman with the dead dream who still sings into the night which haunts those who are pretending to be people. We are not people anymore because we have been turned into Hollowmen that just keep going long enough until we become old and are of no more use to the Owners, that is the fate of all Workers. Is it the fault of Mark Fisher? No, he was merely only seeing the small picture because the larger one was too terrifying. But the proletariat sees it everyday and whose only chance of escape is to either bow down to this Idol of Mammon or shatter it and retake his Future." Excerpt from In the Shadows of Deadmen's Dreams
this excerpt is kind of out of context and the larger essay isn't finished but i have been rereading the draft and felt it sums up the ethos of TNG and wanted to share it
"Blessed are these drowsy men: for they shall soon drop off" Friedrich Nietzche
let the river styx wash away your sins
and allow yourself to be born in the cloak of the future
I have seen the sun
It was a beautiful dream
And now on these ash sowed plains
Alone amongst the shadows
What I am I to do
With such a image in my head
Dark hands reaching up
To drag me down
Black as ink. millions strong
And all i can do is reach up
To the memory of the sun
and allow yourself to be born in the cloak of the future
I have seen the sun
It was a beautiful dream
And now on these ash sowed plains
Alone amongst the shadows
What I am I to do
With such a image in my head
Dark hands reaching up
To drag me down
Black as ink. millions strong
And all i can do is reach up
To the memory of the sun
