INDC Journal Changes Lives
Posted by Bill After engaging in a bit of fun with a persistent INDC troll over at his site (long story), I wound up having an interesting e-mail exchange with Damon, author of the decidedly lefty blog Subverted Reality. Relevant excerpt: Maybe you should direct [Persistent INDC Troll] to your Michael Berg interview - it sure as hell slapped me sober. We introverts get mixed up because in our minds the activists really mean it and the oppressed are truly oppressed and the mujahideen are fierce and courageous while the occupiers are imperial storm troopers, etc... we've read so many well-structured novels with clearly defined conflicts that the hodge-podge world at large just doesn't fit and hence must be a screen for "what's really going on." I guess a sheep with only half the illusions is a partisan. Maybe when you shed the remainder you become a person. INDC Journal: Spurring one "Road-to-Damascus moment" at a time ... Posted by Bill at June 18, 2004 12:27 PM | TrackBack (6) CommentsWow. Talk about bragging rights. I've never heard of an actual successful conversion-by-blog before. Posted by: Beck at June 18, 2004 12:16 PM I wouldn't say conversion, just provocation of thought (and Damon seems to be a rather thoughtful guy anyway). Nevertheless, spread the word my son. Posted by: Bill from INDC Journal at June 18, 2004 12:18 PM Wow. I'm totally jealous. Kudos. What's the secret? Was it the sheer force of logic? Or did you have to, you know, rough him up a bit? Posted by: Rusty Shackleford at June 18, 2004 12:26 PM Yeah? Well, my blog helped eliminate the hole in the ozone layer! Posted by: Nathan at June 18, 2004 12:42 PM Bill, I want to do something about it. I want someone held accountable for publishing wildly leading interpretations of the facts in a news hole - interpretations that have been directly and specifically contradicted by members of the September 11th Commission in yesterday's round of talkshow appearances. Your blog has influence [a$$kiss] and is excellent[/a$$kiss]. Keep on blogging and little by little, our perspectives will get out and people will be challenged. However, if you do organize a condemnation of media bias via interpretive dancing and drum circles, please count me in. Posted by: Gordon at June 18, 2004 01:35 PM Appreciate the citation, Bill... No conversion, certainly, but a provocation indeed. I settled on "liberation", personally. Anonymous quote - "When you go down at a Misfits concert, you don't care who pulls you out..." "This is no Misfits concert. This is Cannibal Corpse." Thanks for the hand. Posted by: Damon at June 18, 2004 01:42 PM Funny that. My blog is at least partly responsible for causing the hole in the ozone layer. There could be a marketing opportunity here... Posted by: Flea at June 18, 2004 07:23 PM |
