WANTED

— for crimes against the commons —


  • THE OWNER — calling his hoard the natural order
  • THE ENCLOSURE — fencing what was common and billing you for the air
  • THE CHURCH OF THE MARKET-AS-PHYSICS — preaching that your sense of fair is childish ☞ now on view
  • THE PYRAMID — the bought middle that keeps the whole thing standing
  • THE FORGERY — aiming the people's anger sideways at the neighbor

REWARD: one good laugh, paid in full

The joke is on the con, never the conned. We do not post the faces of the fooled — only the types, the structures, the machine. Mockery is the oldest leveling tool there is: the laugh that says you are not above us. This wing is coming — songs, handbills, and small machines that let you play the con and feel its gears — each one a door back to the whole argument.
