#nojeans makes life more interesting, you’ve got to explore more options instead of the bland lazy one

Here are some options in order of formality –

Thai fisherman pants

Workman’s trousers like Snickers and stuff

Heavy woollen trousers (as opposed to woollen slacks, which are suit-level formal)

Linen trousers

Slacks

I find myself into these most days, does that make me Level 1.5 or 2.5?

(Otherwise I’ll wear the normal pants version from the same brand. Comfy, practical, and jeans are boring, not that practical. Sometimes not even comfy.)

Did you know that statistically wearing blue jeans increase your chances of cocaine addiction?

I think you are making a good choice for your health too.

It’s too hot in the deep south to wear denim anymore

I like linen for summer, cargo pants are very good because of all the pockets and I also enjoy cord trousers.

Aren’t they very similar to workmen’s trousers?

Remove All American Media And Culture From Your Life

Anti-imperialist comm to help you in your personal journey of cultural anti-imperialism.

American culture has spread all over the world, it has dumbed down and impoverished our variegated pre-colonial and non-capitalist cultures. Every time you yank yourself, a bit of their culture worms its way into your mind. Sometimes it’s explicit propaganda like Top Gun, but sometimes it’s subtle: the contempt shown for the poor, the celebration of selfishness, the mental foundation on which their empire stands.

All inputs enter the mind, are absorbed, and blossom as thoughts and deeds. Mass-produced culture dulls you and makes you a boring, mass-produced personality. And nations are losing their personality by letting one imperial power do this to them.

That the empire is doing this as a more-or-less deliberate tool of influence doesn’t need stressing.

Stop doing this to yourself. Don’t watch their television. Don’t watch their films. Don’t read their stupid news and politics: ABC and CNN and NBC and the rest. Don’t be so fucking boring. You don’t have to be boring and stupid. Turn off your TV. Pick up some of your country’s classic books, or listen to African funk, or go to a storytelling night.
