Create Rebellion Chapter 6 Review

“Create Rebellion” by Robbie Tripp Chapter 6 Review pages 39-45
As I embark upon reviewing the last chapter of this deluxe pamphlet, it occurred to me that I would love to see a real literary review by a professional editor, agent, or a licensed psychiatrist.
Robbie spends the last full five double-spaced pages blathering aggressively on about dreams as he is wont to do. He likens reaching for your dreams as an “assault you are waging on the world”. Robbie thinks over the top phrases leave a bold impression on the reader. They don’t. They leave this reader wondering why he is so obsessed with violent imagery.
I was going to quote some passages but there were too many. Have a look at page 40 here and sample the absurdity.
Robbie writes furiously about the drive to create being so strong that true creators would “rather die” than be unable to express themselves. I must not be a true creator then, despite my Etsy sales to the contrary, because I would pose self-preservation over making art. But that’s just me. Robbie, picture-taker for SRL, must be the real deal. /s
He continues to speak in hyperbole: “The desire to bring into existence something unique, something the world has not seen yet, is the definition of purity”. Methinks Robbie doesn’t spend enough time with dictionary.com.
He calls the creative “journey” (I hate that word) “the holiest of missions”. I wonder what the Mormons would say about that. Did he even go on a mission? He can’t even Mormon right. (Cue Robbie recording an IG story on the subject.)
Robbie says you need to be a “symbol of free thought and individuality”. I guess you could say that he freely shares his thoughts about his wife’s face, breasts, “cute little side roll aka the moneymaker”, hips, “chubby belly”, ass and thighs on a daily if not hourly basis. I don’t know how Robbie expresses his individuality aside from being the biggest tool on the internet.
He claims that your life will be measured by your “intangible contributions”. This idea could only come from a narcissistic dimwit who has never created one substantial thing in his life.
From the beginning of this drivel he had said that the greatest thing is to be a “creator”. In chapter 6, however, he states that there is no greater act than “awakening in another human being the desire to create”. Robbie doesn’t know shit about anything. He doesn’t have an inkling about how to live a meaningful life.
Robbie wants you to know that you shouldn’t focus on wealth
His parting nonsense: “...create magic inside of every moment...” “Don’t forget that nobody remembers tomorrow” “...kisses of the past only stain the lips of those burdened by the disease of nostalgia” “...the most elaborate lives are built on their tapestry of existential enjoyment”.
Just so the reader knows he’s done writing, he finishes with “end correspondence” on its own special page.
Next week: the Afterword (LOL), which is almost better than everything that came before it.

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 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 sea...

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...
