I just love the endlessly repeated, tautological redundancy of the dialogue.
Apr 3rd – All the people, so many people, and none of them can read or write; and that’s why we’re all, cult-urally impoverished.

24th Mar – I had strings, but now I’m free. There are no strings on me.
But since that day when his words were first uttered, I’ve tracked his prediction from what was once a faraway speck on a distant horizon, to what it is today, an event horizon on a looming black hole.
3rd Mar – What price you have to pay to get out of, going through all these things twice.
Sad songs are all about evoking regret, and death by your own hand, is perhaps the first positive thing you have ever done with your life, so I think I’d go out to a Genesis track, or Bruce Springsteen, or something even worse, so that you had no regrets about leaving the earth and all its mediocrities.
18th Feb – It’s a shame, shame, shame, shame, shame on you.
... where a life littered with wrong choices at the wrong time, becomes a self-recriminating Hadron Collider of mental anguish, constantly circulating negative thoughts at neural speed.
Feb 2nd – One man’s civilization is another man’s jungle, yeah.
Now all we have to do, is create a movement, and go viral.
Jan 12th – I don’t know what you heard about me, I’m a motherfuckin’ P.I.M.P.
This news is current as I read the novel, We (Мы). Written by Yevgeny Zamyatin in Soviet era Russia in 1924, it is the least read of the Russian classics. It’s a dystopian novel describing an oppressive totalitarian state, in which its subjects are made the joyless tools of industry and the state machine. Sound familiar? George Orwell was commissioned to write a review of a smuggled copy in the 1940s, and within six months of doing that, guess what? Yes, that’s right, he was inspired to begin work on “his” novel, 1984. What a coincidence, eh? And even more spooky, the few good bits of his awful book, were identical to those in already set out in We.
8th Dec – Hot sausage and moustache.
We will poison the well of the documented human experience, in way that only sophisticated humans cannot be damaged by it.
Nov 24th – Misty watercolour memories, of the way we were.
“I’ll tell you what.” I tell Friend, “If we ever get the Keynesians ever get back into power as we wish, they need only grant each new born child a mentor and they’d have the problem cracked. They wouldn’t have to be clever, just dedicated.”
16 Nov – only fans event. BONUS MATERIAL.
Of course, we haven’t forgotten your favourite features, and the clever scientists [sic] at DWE have added back in all those features that you love so much – made up words; pretend foreign idioms; fascism dressed up as anti-fascism; religious intolerance of all faiths*; oh, and barely concealed filth, like cove instead of c*nt.
31st Oct – Deutschland is happy and gay.
"What is it, you think, that makes you a writer?" “Well, when I meet someone new, I examine them until I’ve found out what it is I hate about them.”
