Create Rebellion Chapter 5 Review

Chapter 5 (pages 33-38) declares that fear is a “nefarious nemesis” and a “crippling, unpleasant monster”. It states that fear has created countless “martyrs amongst humanity” and is a “black tar”.
Robbie says in this chapter that you can identify people (“everyday beings”) who have been stunted by fear. He recommends that you study those people and ask yourself if that’s what you want for yourself.
To combat fear, he states, you must have confidence. Either that or you must confront it and “hypnotize it into a docile motivator that swells dormant in the basement, chained and harnessed to the floorboards”.
Lots of mystical imagery in this chapter including “wondrous wake”, “noxious notions”, “furtive feelings”, “permafrost of your persistence”, “rose colored enchantments”. It’s not worth putting these phrases in context because that doesn’t help understanding them.
He suggests that one must constantly be aware of fear’s “wailing whispers”. He says you must always be on the search for inspiration so you can be “in a position capable of pure anarchic alchemy”.
This was easily the shortest chapter in the pamphlet and I can tell he really struggled to eke it out. Each chapter has around the same amount of pages but this one was extra short. It started at the bottom of page 33 and ended at the top of page 35.
He must have spent a fortune on printing these and I can’t imagine how much money he lost on this weird little venture.
If I were him I would probably just offer my next “book” in a free PDF.

Create Rebellion Chapter 2 Review

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...

Create Rebellion Chapter 1 Review

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...
