they talk of ideologies
but it's always
the other
the premise
doesn't include
the ideology of
near absolute power
capital brings.
that's freedom. you can't see
your own ideology.

-me


You begin by telling a story
and the longer you tell it
the more you're taken in
by the deception that you thought
you were putting over
on someone else.
It's now being put
over on you
by yourself..
if a story begins in contrivance
but nonetheless affects people's actions,
if it seems to be making things happen,
then, Why, look, it's working, it has
to be true. It couldn't be otherwise.
