So far I have written 89,000 words detailing the history of employment, from the necessary labor of keeping one's tribe alive, to slavery, feudalism and finally the hollow ideology of hard work as virtuous. I have explained in detail why a one portion of the population has always been, is, and will always be too sensitive, self-aware and intellectually advanced to be content with the working conditions inflicted upon them, and have provided countless examples of such individuals (including myself) throughout the history of human society (with a focus on the West) and have just started writing about contemporary working conditions since 1945 and the growing irrelevance of full-time employment in addition to critiquing the narrow-minded, callous and unimaginative ideology which insists that full-time employment must be something that each person should not only aspire to but demand both of themselves and of those around them. My mother obviously understood little of what she read but nonetheless what she did read made her cry, likely as a consequence of my admittedly ruthless and frank mode of expression. She is at work right now but I am so p*****d off I might confront her again when she returns home. This is seriously not ok.

One of the passages my mother happened to read described my own suffering and self-loathing as a means of showing that even the strongest minds are threatened by the ideology I describe and eviscerate at great length. She has since offered to find me a job at her own workplace (a hospital) but I adamantly refused, which of course only caused her to bawl even more.

It's for this exact reason that I basically write anything remotely journal-ey in code. Talk exclusively in synecdoches and use rhyming-slang. Trying to decipher wtf you were talking about also makes for some fun reading years on and you can get a few colourful metaphors out of it.

I'm not a "kid", I'm 36 years of age. I have tried again and again, for numerous years, to educate my mother and encourage her to become adequately self-aware, though my attempts have all been in vain. I have bought her books, musical albums, intelligent and thought-provoking movies, but she has reacted to them all with the stolid gaze native to her gender. I watched "Synecdoche, New York" with her only last month and was forced to bar the living the room door so that she would be forced to watch the entire film. When I demanded to know what her impression was of what is undoubtedly a contemporary cinematic masterpiece she simply looked at me with a worried expression, probably suspecting that I possessed the same brutish, violent instincts as the men she has been acquainted with thus far in her life. She is, in short, a lost cause. I no longer feel any compulsion to try and instill those traits and values in her character which make my own character so complex and profound. This is partly the reason I feel no guilt or shame over the fact that she works full-time while I have opted not to, as I know with certainty that without some form of employment to take up the majority of her day she would wither away and become severely depressed due to the fact she would be forced to confront a fact I myself confronted long ago, namely that existence is a pitiable and meaningless thing to be avoided at best, ridiculed at a minimum.

This is that 100 post anon again.

Newfags, there is a poster who constantly creates really elaborate schemes to mess with people by getting them to feel sympathy for his character and then slowly dissolve into autism, it usually always begins with calling himself a genius (I've noticed this pattern) he used to joke about his 6 volume memoir or this time that he paid a publisher to publish his book and he scheduled a book signing at a barnes and noble where only his mom came and bought 3 copies of the book. He does this because he's admitted he has nothing else in life and gets some sort of pleasure out of it, anyway, he had me going for a little bit until I saw him descend into cunty autism but the nail in the coffin is this quote that he always uses when people ask to see his writing in these threads (because it's pretty good but it comes from an archived post from years ago back when warosu was up, someone else found that one out, he usually takes any written material from past critique threads but almost always this one):

>"Magnus realized, with a sort of laugh, that every joke he had recently heard had been told by himself, to himself, and at his own expense."

Anon's Manifesto is the new "Catcher In the Rye".

Fathers, hide your daughters. Mothers, hide your sons. This literary roller coaster evokes powerful, angst ridden imagery that publishes the candid experience of vanishing innocence and childhood betrayal. You'll laugh, you'll love, you'll cry, but more importantly, you WON'T be able to put this book down.

"Anon's Manifesto" is a contemporary artwork that will be hailed throughout the generations; and you can bet, you heard it here, first, with us, The Rolling Stones.
