A conversation with a WICwhore
June 11, 2003
about an e-mail I have received and will be responding to shortly. The gist of the e-mail was that we on the left need to get over our "hatred of money" so we can fund a viable opposition to the right...and then he posted a fictional story "based on" my post about the rally. Of course, he meant no disrespect to me, and he used a liberal amount of license...so it wasn't actually meant to reflect who I really am as a person. Which is a good thing, because he has no idea who I really am.
Anyway, on to the conversation...the rebuttal will come later:
WICwhore: i am really poor so he can kiss my underprivileged green party ass
WICwhore: i'll even fess to our annual income
WICwhore: of like less than 20k or something
lgbdozer: I make **k
lgbdozer: but, I live in Austin
lgbdozer: where that's pretty much the poverty line.
WICwhore: i live in govt housing - wahahahha
lgbdozer: fun!
WICwhore: yeah - i am selling my wic milk on the blackmarket and everything
lgbdozer: hahaha
lgbdozer: Well, I don't consider myself to be poor.
WICwhore: to buy more silk!
WICwhore: heh heh
lgbdozer: no...crack!
lgbdozer: because all poor people are on crack..
lgbdozer: and lazy.
lgbdozer: so you need to keep yrself well-slippered.
lgbdozer: and you need to buy bon-bons.
WICwhore: yeah - that's what they'd put my energetic kids on if they went to school, oh wait, no, that was ritalin
lgbdozer: Because that's all you eat.
lgbdozer: and don't forget 20 televisions, all tuned to soap operas.
WICwhore: oh man, if you could see my wellfed physique
WICwhore: or actual tv
lgbdozer: There was a woman at co-op today who was talking about the wealthy fucks who sent their kids to the presitgious montessori school where she used to work.
WICwhore: what did she say?
lgbdozer: She said something like "Those people should NOT be allowed to have children."
lgbdozer: hahahahahaha
lgbdozer: sterilize the rich!
WICwhore: no shit, we'll just end up raising their kids anyway
WICwhore: then again, it does provide jobs
lgbdozer: yeah.
WICwhore: can you cut and paste this conversation and post it
WICwhore: but like with my name anon
lgbdozer: if you want me to.
lgbdozer: how much of it?
WICwhore: cause i don't want to lose my wic or anything but i'd like other ppl to share in the mirth
WICwhore: i guess starting with that guy kissing my lazy poor green ass
lgbdozer: hahaha
lgbdozer: ok.
lgbdozer: I just might do that.
WICwhore: which is curently supposed to be cleaning the house to get ready for my under the table childcare job, i shit you not
WICwhore: but instead, lazily chatting on a computer i bought with the earned income credit
lgbdozer: yes.
WICwhore: um, you can call me wicwhore
lgbdozer: because POOR PEOPLE shouldn't be allowed to HAVE computers.
lgbdozer: The nerve of you uppity poor people.
WICwhore: because then we spend all our time finding out what other ppl can afford to do on the weekends
lgbdozer: Wasting our hard earned tax dollars on...um...an unessential piece of plastic.
lgbdozer: you there still?
WICwhore: ack
WICwhore: yes
lgbdozer: I'm not sure where you wanted it to end...but I posted up to the part about your earned income credit and how poor people shouldn't have computers.
lgbdozer: I feel like I need your approval before posting.
WICwhore: i really want ppl to read about my wicwhore green party existence!
WICwhore: did it include my illegal two bucks an hour job?
WICwhore: i want it to
lgbdozer: yes.
lgbdozer: Your illegal job is included.
WICwhore: what's the use in living the stereotype if you can't share the joy
WICwhore: ok, cool!
lgbdozer: hahahahahahaha
WICwhore: i am a figment of phil gramm's imagination
lgbdozer: I should end it by saying "Gotta go shoot some heroin now."
WICwhore: and you can quote me on that

Wow, that guy really missed the point. And made some spurious assumptions. I mean, I know he isn't necessarily claiming to describe you, but I think it really says something about his assumptions about people. I mean, I don't think this "character" who writes off Dean because he's "money-grubbing" and then goes to the mall to buy stuff is supposed to be some kind of strange, exceptional person; she's obviously supposed to represent what this writer thinks is a somewhat common set of qualities. Ick.
yeah, ronnie reagan was big on "factually enhanced" anecdotes used to prove a point, too.
personally i have never met the alleged money-hating leftists. all of the ones i know are either hard-working working class union leftists, or else bourgeois intellectual leftists who work just as hard in less physical areas -- they all want more money, just like the rest of america -- because they want it for what they can DO with it inside our system, like fund endowments for their favorite liberal arts colleges, starting their own alternative schools, giving money to planned parenthood, or just to get The Man off their back long enough to dream about such things. they also balance this with subverting the monetary system -- bartering services, using the "under the table" economy WICwhore as mentioned, rubber stamping "LESBIAN MONEY" on dollar bills, etc.
the only "money-hating" people i have met i can't identify as "leftists" or even "liberals", so much as "flakes" who haven't the stomach for hard work [few of us enjoy work, but we still do it anyway] -- most of them who felt guilty because they had rich parents. i'm an anarchist with a healthy mistrust of money, but if someone drops a $20 on the street i'll pick it up. the difference between me and someone i identify as right-leaning is, i'll try and think of someone to share it with, because it's just more fun that way. most of the right-leaning people i have met and conversed with believe that if they spend the $20 on themselves it somehow "helps" others because it "trickles down" -- another of the Great Communicator's powerful memes.
i think you are right in clarifying that the mistrust is aimed more at the glamor element in politics, the salesmanship, the advertising pitch, the hair. as i have mentioned before, the person most likely to win will probably be the person whose name is the least funny-sounding to the majority of voters, who looks good on tv, and says things in a tone of voice that reminds people of an authority figure from childhood they trusted. it's the power of suggestion we're talking about here. the good thing about dean is, he's got the fake stuff AND the substantial stuff covered...mostly. i mean, as far as we can tell. the trouble with clinton was he pitched well, i mean he was a brilliant campaigner, but the product he was selling was demonstrably faulty. if nothing else, our "shopping" for new political officeholders requires at least as much savvy as that which we employ to buy ourselves a new car, or a new computer.
