I don't think whoever wrote this zine goes here, but they should!

It's the network state flag. Which I presume is based on the Swiss flag, because they are horny for the idea of a small, rich, well-connected country that profits from mass murder and exploitation.

What does he look like now? I shudder to think.

Okay, one more pic, the back cover. Can't say how reliable these sources are.

Some more low effort image posting. This zine was in Connolly Books for free. I'm not sure who the author is, but I thought the text was spot on and the illustrations were great. Sorry for no captions/transcriptions

A terrifying poster, spotted in the window of a tattoo shop in Dublin: A poster featuring images of leprechauns, celtic knots, harps, and other assorted paddywhackery. The images seem to have been created with AI. The poster lists prices for them as tattoo designs (!)

Hopefully no one will actually get these images tattooed on their body.

The modern father of this literature is Ray Blanchard

🚨🚨🚨 Do not take Ray Blachard's work seriously !

Wow, this wrong and unfair but it's also just stupid. Especially this:

The homeless theory of cities:

SF is idealistic and trusting because the homeless are mostly peaceful addicts commiting slow suicide

NYC is ruthless and status-obsessed because the homeless are aggressive and confrontational

I have no knowledge or insight on the topic, but I used to get recommendations for "intelligence squared" videos on YouTube and I always thought it was a terrible, self-aggrandizing title for a series or event. Smart People Taking About Smart Things.

I should probably give it a go!
