what i said?

Debord > u

sorry, i ment @Firefly

i actually included Debord in young adult dystopian novel i'm writing

that's rad

yeah tab completions are total mess in discord

fails 99/100 times

@dontchewglass yeah, i finished the novel awhile ago, now I'm going to edit soon. The main character reads excerpts from the spectacle every once in awhile

that's fuckin awesome man

@dontchewglass i;m trying to brainwash simple minded high school students into complacency of communism XD

I'm working on ideas for two alternate histories and one fantasy novel

careful, if you pile on too many project, you'll never get around to finishing any of them

One is a WW1 alternate history where the war drags on until 1921, causing communist revolutions and an early cold war as opposed to the setup to ww2 in our timeline

And it switches between multiple perspectives including an Irish revolutionary fighting in a british convict battalion who commits mutiny and helps a Catalonian revolution, a german draftee who joins the Spartacists out of a desire for peace, a Spanish 19 year old fighting for the monarchy, and a black American medic from Louisiana

that sounds like it would be difficult to write, but it's definitly worth to write about!

but basically, the war ends due to a successful Luxemburgist revolution, France becomes an authoritarian anti-communist state de facto controlled by the military clique, a east/west split Spain, a proxy war between leftists and fascists in Italy, and an absolute shitstorm in the former Ottoman empire

So the leftist side of this new cold war includes the USSR, Germany, Ireland (post war of independence), East Spain, Italian rebel enclaves and possibly the new Yugoslavia?

sounds like you built a pretty lively world

i mean, full of death and destruction, but lively

the rightists are France, the UK (in response to revolutionary threat the king takes greater emergency authority), the US (although they're somewhat detached), fascist Italy, Turkey and Western Spain

ye I've been working on it a while now

my book is about 17 year old ricky he moves to the metropolis of Rodane City, Indiana (like a neo-Chicago) as his parents can't afford to live in the suburbs anymore. It's his first time going to a public school, as he's been homeschooled his whole life, and he gets bullied continously, he gets thrown into detention for doing nothing, and is bored out of his mind in class because it's tests upon tests upon tests. He eventually makes friends with some punks after they help him fight off his bullies, and show him life is much more exciting than just school.

I feel that Ricky, I feel that

Then the school starts to really crackdown on them, and they decide to runaway to a run down part of the city, and start a squat. It's difficult at first, but they become quite nortorious in the neighborhood. So much so, the police attempt to burn it down, and one of their friends die in the fire.

oh shit

ACAB my man, ACAB

Thus sparking riots across the city, and an anarchist revolution ensues.

WOOOOO

The revolution drives the cops and swat teams out of the city, and the fascist government altogether. It ends with the gang paying respect to their fallen comrade.

The Irish revolutionary is somewhat of an Anarchist in my book, somewhat of a libertarian marxist

That's a pretty awesome story

That reminds me of the Danish "BZ" culture.

thanks man! I've been writing it for four years, since junior year of highschool

I feel like I wanna get a red and black star tattoo

i've only finished recently

I can tell you put a lot of work into it

it's awesome

You gonna publish it?

maybe, YA is still pretty hot on the market, and dystopian books are going to explode

i'm thinking of starting a kickstarter or gofundme so i get my book into libraries and schools across America

That'd be awesome
