Create Rebellion: an in-depth review

Chapter 1 Review Chapter 2 Review Chapter 3 Pages 19-24 Chapter 3 begins with this utter nonsense: “The common man’s sickening philosophies will always linger in the air around you like a foul stench, seeking to discourage you from continuing your mission. Heed them not.” It would be nice if Robbie could provide an example of “sickening philosophies” of the “common man”.  But since this is an ABSTRACT MANIFESTO, not the ramblings of a delusional narcissist, the reader once again has to try to decipher it. I tried. No luck. One thing I did glean from this sentence is that this is another example of Robbie thinking he’s special. And because he thinks he’s special, that makes him better than the average, or “common” person. He states “their common sense rules of their uninspired world are...a fragile collection of socially reinforced illusions.” At this point, and I’m not even off the first page of chapter 3, I’m so irritated that I whipped it across the room. I ...

Chapter 1 Review Chapter 2 Review Page 12-18 Like nearly every passage in this book, chapter 2 starts out with a melodramatic bang: “Blitzkrieg the cowardly corporations with your open awareness of their misdeeds.” A sentence like this is too insane to blow past but I have more questions than anything. Unnecessary definition of blitzkrieg: “an intense military campaign intended to bring about a swift victory”. What is a “cowardly corporation”? What is the difference between “open awareness” and “awareness”? (Aside from a minimum word count.) What “misdeeds” is he referring to? Corporations, like people, can commit any number of “misdeeds”. Finally, how does the reader identify the misdeeds of the cowardly corporations? The author doesn’t say. So why would the reader go about “blitzkrieging” the aforementioned cowardly corporations if we don’t know what they did in the first place? Even if we knew what their misdeeds were, would a BLITZKRIEG be appropriate? Seems agg...

Robbie describes his book on the cover as “An abstract manifesto for disruptive creativity”. Translation: I am a brilliant guru whose word vomit will change your life and I will not be confined to pedestrian ideas such as paragraphs. I have mined the shit out of thesaurus.com. Adjectives are my bitches. You’re welcome.” I purchased my  copy  from a used book seller on eBay for $5. I was pleased to contribute to the economy but not directly to Robbie’s horrendous sneaker collection. It’s not only  flimsy  for a book but it’s only 5x7 in size. I knew it was under 100 pages, but it actually has 45 double-spaced, 14-point font  pages  plus a full-page black-and-white (moody serious) author picture, an afterword and 4 1/2 blank pages (???) at the end. (Maybe Izzard Ink Publishing has a page minimum, idk.) My  copy  has what looks like burn marks across it. It occurred to me that someone somewhere was going to use it in a ritual. Or was angry a...
