Sorta like the anarchist's cookbook, but not.
-
Yeah, sort of like the Anarchist's Cookbook, except absolutely nothing like it.
The Anarchist's Cookbook is a piece of junk manufactured by the United States Government for two reasons:
1) To discredit the idea of Anarchy by providing false information about it, to make it look violent and aggressive, and in doing so, protect the hegemonic, capitalist Status Quo.
2) To identify, through observation of who purchases and obtains it, potential troublemakers, and neutralise them, often directly. Since the instructions in the book often could lead to the easy death of the user.

riiiiiiiight.
because, y'know, so many people used the anarchist cookbook for real. and because your brand of anarchism is so old and widely held.
-
JP, the worlds most amusingly gullible person. :)
-
notice, however, that I didn't disregard the possibility of the US government doing something like that. I'm sure they would. However, the Anarchist's cookbook would require an exceptionally stupid person to use as an actual manual.

Actually Jams brand of Anarchy goes back to the invention of Anarchy or at least the first writings by Proudhon on the subject. Anarchy did not become violent as a political movement until Bakunin who was using it as a tool against the tzars. Anarchy suffered a divisive split at that point (the late 1850's and early 60's) (much like communism) becoming more revolutionary and violent in eastern europe and more peaceful and socialist in western europe.

Please, lets not go back to the whole "what is Anarachy" argument again. Been there, done that.

Im just trying to get jam to lock the thread ;)
But seriously, we all know Jam is an Anarchist of sorts, he's a decent guy and his brand of anarchism is non-violent. So could we not make fun of him? At least for that anyway, its something he feels strongly about. I for one feel strongly about Brussel sprouts.
-
I feel strongly about pizza, and I'm disappointed at the lack of a national dialogue concerning the subject.
I'm a purist/american, "purist" describing my preference for a crust-sauce-cheese-only pizza (toppingless, if you will) and "american" describing my preference for the style of pizza developed in the United States as opposed to the traditional Italian style.
And I think pineapple on pizza is disgusting.
-
People who don't like toppings on their pizza have no place questioning said toppings individually.
-
I'm in favor of slightly overdone pepperoni. So it's crunchy. That makes for the best pizza.
also, I'll make fun of Jam for whatever I want. Like the late 20th century governmnet needed to discredit Anarchy. I'll tell you what's anarchy. Toppingless pizza, that's what!
-
also, brussel sprouts. They're even less trustworthy than Belgian waffles. Belgium is too close to France to be trusted.
-
People who don't like toppings on their pizza have no place questioning said toppings individually.
People who like pineapple on pizza have no place in a sane world.
I'll tolerate mosts meats and some vegetables, but pineapple? That's even worse than (shudder) olives or (cringe) mushrooms.
-
The ninja monkeys are on their way to correct you about your views on olives and mushrooms.
-
I think when the ninja monkeys get here I 'll convince them to form a union. I bet they're tired of all the travel, what with you sending them hither and yon at your slightest whim. Maybe they'll strike. In any case I'll become a legendary populist hero, the first to bring organized labor into the occult/dictator/martial arts industry.
-
fat chance of that happen. I use ninja monkeys because they don't form attachments and like to travel. Plus they enjoy the work. Plus, they hate unions. Teamsters used to be business competition, you know.
Plus there's the whole Laissez Faire view of hte economy. Unions cut into that.
-
Well they should just laissez faire my own personal economy, then.
-
they're not doing anything to your economy. It's your body and choice of pizza toppings they object too.
-
Okay, now we're just getting silly. A grown man who doesn't like olives and mushrooms? Since such a thing is inherently ridiculous, I suspect that you're just making stuff up to get a rise out of me. Well it won't work! No rise!
-
Ok Mustard's brother, whatever you say.
-
Pineapple, mushrooms, onions, turkish delight, sprouts, broccoli - all of these are demon food. I deny them.
-
Not having Pineanpple on pizza is a plot by the US Government in association with the other echelon members to discredit anarchy.
Yeah, you'd have to be dumb to use that book, but the MAIN purpose is to discredit anarchy, which it does quite well.
I tried out the touch powder recipe from it. It did nothing. Plus, I got the Chemistry teacher to supervise. (He was the one who wanted a touch powder recipe)

To get a rise out of him you'd have to use yeast.
Not having Pineanpple on pizza is a plot by the US Government in association with the other echelon members to discredit anarchy.
See, there's a theory I can agree with. And if that's what it does, then anarchy deserves to be discredited.

pinapple can be good on pizza sometimes,... but not as good as mushrooms sun dried tomatoes and meatballs...
Or Jalepeno and pepperoni,.... mmmm
