Agathokakological Tendencies

The “casual-internet”
writing style of this
manifesto stands out. I
wonder who Elizabeth
Broeder is. But then I
consider, does it matter?
I wonder if the style is
intentional to make a
point, or authentic to either
herself or her audience.
I wonder if some might
appropriation of some
kind. I wonder if I’m too
focused on the style and
not the message and
if somehow that says
something about me.
The unconventional
style engages the reader
to pay attention to
understand. It serves as a
contrast to other academic
essays we’ve read, but
in its way humble. The
style rejects academic
and societal structure,
much like its message.
Broeder observes
peoples from their point
of view. “Trash girls”
are compared to toys,
objects, market value,
things to be used, fuel
to be burned. “How do
we make ourselves, our
futures, our lives better
when your ‘US’ treats our
wonders.
Communication is
key to the solution. Work
with others outside your
group. Educate others
about the way things
are. Become a single
organism starting small
and growing into action.
Cooperate. Use hardship
and necessary resilience
as strength to overcome.
