A Call for Yuppie Communes

Some of us walk proudly into private life. Let us be the generation that is open-minded and tolerant enough to accept the living choices made by others, whether traditional, bohemian, or something else.

“These are small, desperate measures”
No kidding, and against the cliched hobgoblins of our time. The Yes Men are stealthy provocateurs, and that’s about it. Holding the powerful accountable is one thing, and your idealism minus the vitriol is understandable to a point, but this hostility to trade rightly marginalizes your message.
When you base your ideology on the the worst effects of the prevailing economic and political system, you’re going to arrive at some amazingly disconnected views.

House of Credit Cards
- and said:
The most obvious form of accountability is the return on investment for bankers and collateral for borrowers. If you’re so intolerant of risk, you should stick to investing in cash and T-bills.
The concern I have is for ignorant and timid borrowers getting hoodwinked by slick lenders and agents. Still, truth in lending documents won’t protect risky individuals from themselves, and neither should we. It wouldn’t be fair to borrowers who take those risks and succeed – unfortunately those people aren’t mentioned above.

An Atlas of Radical Cartography

Anti-market leftism is nothing if not espoused by creative people. Browsing the website gives it away; the atlas looks to contain many useful insights into the world made bitter by ideological overreach.
