I recently commited facebook suicide, only to become a totally isolated recluse, borderline weirdo. I was doing ok with the chainsmoking fuck the world, isolationist/ eccentric artisian who drives an SUV bit, but I found myself becoming self-centerdly toxic, elitist, and essentially that which I so vehemently despise. My motives for abandoning the service was to escape its oppressive grip, to free myself from the controlled mediums which so incrementally are leading us to the slaughterhouse. The fact that leaving the service could have such an impact is an indication of the strength of this grip it has over us all.  I became frustrated with peoples utter complacency with the increasingly corporatized and dehumanized version of the service which most appeared to accept without criticism other then a witty status diatribe here and there (of which I am typically the supplier) or a good ol redundant facebook group to vainly protest.... facebook. I became frustrated and increasingly cynical (virtuous)  that while we circulated links, and exhanged our insights in this seemingly free virtual playground, that we were at the same time caught in the grips of infantilism, that we were all little children merely amusing ourselves in big brothers toyshop, monitered around the clock by CCTV. Now that facebook has almost achieved its goal of getting us comfortable with complete disclosure in a contentedly nuerotic self-censoring society on a medium that is now openly monitered by the authorities to track political (irrational) dissent, I figure my boycott is utterly meaningless, considering the end has already came and passed.

In the process of making this statement I abandoned my humans, those cellular components of the global mind with which I once exchanged impulses and signals of sublevel importance. So I have reactivated my facebook, to keep in touch with my real friends, so not to lose sight of the shore, should my ship get sunk...

In short I am merely back for tactical purposes.

I do not kid myself with regards to its applicability as a tool for social activism, as I have explained before it is the exact opposite.
