[D66] Shy Radicals: The Antisystemic Politics of the Militant Introvert

[Jugg]

Eens, disruptie van de extrovert-supremacist cultuur is 'introfada'.  
Zeker van toepassing bij de luidruchtige en botte Hollanders, daar wist 
Erasmus nog van... Weg met loudness, sirenes en schreeuwreclames!

(Het nationaal volkslied van 'Aspergistan' kan men horen door te 
luisteren naar een zeeschelp...)

/The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear/ – Lao Tzu

Drawing together communiqués, covert interviews, oral and underground 
history of introvert struggles (Introfada), here for the first time is a 
detailed documentation of the political demands of shy people.

Radicalised against the imperial domination of globalised PR 
projectionism, extrovert poise and loudness, the Shy Radicals and their 
guerrilla wing the Shy Underground are a vanguard movement intent on 
trans-rupting consensus extrovert-supremacist politics and assertiveness 
culture of the twenty first century. The movement aims to establish an 
independent homeland – Aspergistan, a utopian state for introverted 
people, run according to Shyria Law and underpinned by Pan-Shyist 
ideology, protecting the rights of the oppressed quiet and shy people.

Shy Radicals are the Black Panther Party of the introvert class, and 
this anti-systemic manifesto is a quiet and thoughtful polemic, a satire 
that uses anti-colonial theory to build a critique of dominant culture 
and the rising tide of Islamophobia. Shy Radicals author Hamja Ahsan is 
an artist, curator and activist based in London. He is the Free Talha 
Ahsan campaign organiser.

Hamja Ahsan is an activist, writer, curator and artist. He is a

/Common Objectives/ is a series of projects from artist/writer 
collectives or individual art practices engaged with emerging political 
struggles, rejecting the idea of culture as a playground for the elite, 
engaging in the potent mix of free discourse, solidarity and the 
production of new desires and prepared to break open old worlds, either 
in the virtual space of communication and networks, or in the concrete 
world of action, discourse and distribution. Common Objectives is 
commissioned by Book Works from open submission and edited by Nina Power.
