I find it really strange how such a bunch of libertine, anarchistic, hedonist, queer, porno-pushers would be radicals allow themselves to be monitored and controlled by those with authoritarian or establishmentary tendencies. Or how those types sit comfortably on the others backs?
Its all too weird for me.

That's my quote of the day!
It raises one of the fundamental contradictions of
teh communitah.
Perhaps those anarchists, hippies, radicals and individualists recognize, consciously or otherwise, a need for authoritarian bastards to maintain some perceived order. In theory this sounds copacetic. In practice, however, it creates an e-Golum which combines the worst traits of both anarchy and authoritarianism.
It might also have something to do with the fact that most of these authoritarian types began to rise to power in 2006-07, as WP's
growth phase was giving way to its
maintenance phase.
In some cases the
"freaks" and the
"fascists" are one and the same. For instance Davy Gerard, Chillum and Ambi. After all, just because they enjoy a liberal lifestyle, doesn't mean they can't also be authoritarian on political matters.
Hitler, when he wasn't wearing his fire breathing fuhrer face, lived like a Bohemian artist (yes, Mike Godwin..
go fuck yourself (IMG:

And of course Der Jimbo's public and private hypocrisy is well known to most everyone here. He certainly did not let politics get in the way of his boning the Ann Coulter of the great white north (hey, opposites do attract).
Additionally, both groups share a common, overriding interest; to control content. And in this case, I have to concede to Kissinger that interest trumps personality.
