Harassment Architecture

Product Information

Do I think this is all just "dark humor" and he's "making fun of himself"? No and yes, to a certain degree. I believe that Mike genuinely does harbor hatred towards the groups of people mentioned in the book, just maybe not to the same extent. Do I find it acceptable? No. But he's as free as the rest of us to speak his mind, and in my honest opinion, it's always better for these things to be out in the open rather than fester and stew somewhere in the dark. Dopers, politicians, preachers, whores, hippies, liars, pushers, poets and thieves, impudent animals the lot of them. I think that giving this book any sort of real rating would be disingenuous - but if I had to, it'd be both 1 and 5 stars at the same time, so... I'll settle for 3. In a statement provided to CNN, Tom Denenberg, CEO and director of the Shelburne Museum in Shelburne, Vermont, said, “in light of the serious and troubling allegations reported against David Adjaye, we are actively reviewing our engagement with the architect and his firm.”

The targeting of critical infrastructure, and the glib and more sinister glorifications of such acts is not new, nor confined to the discourses of the far-right. While, for example, both anti-civ/deep green/eco-defensive anarchists and eco- fascists may encourage targeting communications infrastructure, they do so with decidedly different aims and revolutionary visions. Distinguishing these tendencies is leftists’ use of the spectacle of sabotage as a practical and communicative means—channeling critical analysis in written communiques circulated through digital communities. This is humiliating, intimidating or abusive behavior which is often difficult to detect, leaving no evidence other than victim reports or complaints. This characteristically lowers a person's self-esteem or causes one to have overwhelming torment. [18] This can take the form of verbal comments, engineered episodes of intimidation, aggressive actions or repeated gestures. Falling into this category is workplace harassment by individuals or groups mobbing. Mass shooters and terrorists have long dressed up for violence, articulating symbolic meaning-making through their clothing, and visual content indulging in fantasies of violence, such as ‘tacticool aesthetics’, ‘loadout’ visual culture or jihadist digital art praising the militant is visible in other extremist spaces. However, Terrorgram is unique in the extent to which the aesthetics of violence dominates its subcultural cohesion and branding, with the broader visual ecology of the community playing an important role in the collective cultivation of terrorism as a ‘style’. These sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek warnings clearly identify and advocate pathways towards violence, it is clear that far-right accelerationists and adjacent elements (such as boogalooers) are parroting the call.I'm sitting outside on the terrace and an unexpected calmness washes over me. I'm looking at the trees and the birds in them, jumping from branch to branch. Looks like they're having more fun than myself. I'm looking at all of this through a different lens of emotion and it makes me think about how badly I'd like to embrace nature and live in its purity. In the same thought, I'm aware that by the time I've driven out to a sizable piece of land with all the necessary tools to survive that I'll lose the ambition to follow that feeling. This limbo between a desire to return to the primal world and the realization that it isn't so easy gives me a sense of how deep I've fallen into my comfort zone. Both the Industrial and Agricultural Revolutions and their consequences have been a disaster for the human race. Power harassment is harassment or unwelcome attention of a political nature, often occurring in the environment of a workplace including hospitals, schools and universities. It includes a range of behavior from mild irritation and annoyances to serious abuses which can even involve forced activity beyond the boundaries of the job description. Power harassment is considered a form of illegal discrimination and is a form of political and psychological abuse, and bullying.

I’ve described the book to others as “an authors psychotic break” and “the Kaczynskian reality we were warned about.” In truth it’s a relatively unbroken train of thought beholden only to the whims of the author. Mike Ma is clearly well read, and has clearly lived in the soulless hive cities of the twenty first century. What little story there is makes mention of New York. At this point, the only resolution is for something to wash it all away, forcing me into the nearest flush of woods, feeding on the land and the animals I kill. Wash me all away, and this. How sad is it to desire such a thing? A system that was not that long ago a completely standard way of life. There are pieces and places of the world where it is still so — to enter them as a tainted modern man though, that's a cruel poison.

In the United States, a spokesperson for the Multnomah County Library in Oregon told CNN that Adjaye Associates “is no longer associated with Multnomah County and the East County Library project,” a forthcoming 95,000-square-foot facility co-designed by the firm. “Holst Architecture has been and remains the prime architect of record for the building, which will continue through design and construction as planned,” the statement continued.

Voices within the accelerationist milieu have explicitly engaged with the concept of the idealised terrorist image. Mike Ma, an influential figure and author of the accelerationist novel ‘ Harassment Architecture’ , has argued the difference between terrorists and killers who achieve iconic status and those who do not “depends on how well they were dressed”, singling out and praising the Columbine shooters and ISIS for their ability to ‘look good’ . The solution is always found in nature. Whether you decide to dissipate into it or take it on occasion, like medicine, that’s your choice.

For me, the book was more visceral than contemplative, able to elicit powerful emotions often focused around anger, aggression, and depression. Few books I’ve ever encountered had the power to induce the type of righteous anger at the social system we’ve all been failed by. Harassment Architecture could almost be described like a memetic drug, particularly to those of us who have had experiences similar to the author. I recommend reading this book, I recommend reading it after reading “Industrial Society and its Future.” Harassment architecture is, as I see it, a closing statement to Theodore Kaczynski’s thesis, and in so being represents a justification for his entire philosiphy.
