@majorlinux I didn't want to reply to his thread because he was making a good and very different point. It just reminded me of the quote.

@jessamyn it makes the most sense, really.

"Now, did you bring some other tools? Your own, or somebody else's? No? Well, sorry, everyone, but it seems like everyone's time has been wasted here. There's just not going to be any dismantling tonight. Wait! I had an idea! Why don't you go try dismantling some *other* houses with the master's tools? That should work! Go home and try it on your own houses. See if that works."

Honestly, if you wanted to trick a mob, this quote would work really well. When that mob rolls up with all the liberated tools, ready to do some rapid dismantling, you could chuckle patronizingly. "Now, aren't those the *master's* tools? Well, you can't use *those* to dismantle *this* house. It's the master's house, himself! Those tools won't work for the task at hand -- everyone knows that!

She doesn't say the tools can't dismantle the house, but that they won't.
I think the point is that the master builds. Construction requires mastery, skill, and experience. But any brute can destroy. The master builds, but they don't destroy.

@evan I've always taken it that way. The master's tools can never dismantle the master's house by definition. He's not the master if you're at the house-dismantling stage with his former tools.

That might be the key to it -- the Zen riddle at the heart of Lorde's quote. The master's tools can never dismantle the master's house because by the time we get to the house-dismantling stage, they're not his tools any more. They're our tools, or nobody's tools -- a mob's tools, the crowd's collective tools.

Or maybe it's just the nature of the game. After all, the white bishop can't capture the white queen in chess, no matter how well-positioned it is.

But maybe the quote is about some kind of metaphysical incompatibility between the master's tools and the task of taking apart his house. Maybe the axe stops magically mid-stroke mere millimeters from the columns. Or maybe the tools themselves have a will of their own -- animated household objects like in a Disney film. "Nooooooooo," squeals the sledgehammer plaintively as you lift it. "That's my *owner's* house. I could never hurt his house! I wuuuuuvvvv him!!!"

He might also buy a lot of dumb tools that he doesn't need for anything, just because they look bad ass. He might have an awesome post holer, really big with oak handles and brushed steel with his initials in it. It's no good for tearing down a house though.

@bignose @majorlinux that doesn't explain the meaning inside the metaphor. If we're talking about a literal master, his literal tools and his literal house, why the fuck wouldn't the tools dismantle the house?

Another reason might be that he doesn't buy tools to use them; he buys then to show off to his rich friends and selected underlings. So he might have a really high-end saw, but he's never bothered to take the factory edge off or sharpen it, so if you tried to use it to saw through a joist, it'd warp or just take ffe.

One reason might be that he only does hobbyist rich guy things with these tools. Like he builds ships in a bottle, or paints birdhouses to look like the heads of American presidents. If you tried to dismantle a house with the long tweezers he uses for setting up the rigging on little bottle sloops, well, they're just not going to do the job.

@arce
In the mention feature, there may be room for improvement.
the mention requires using [at]adele@social.pollux.casa, not @adele. However now, there's no way to tell if the mention was successful...

The quote is taken from the title of an essay, so that's not a great surprise it's the only text people repeat.
“Lorde’s message is clear: in order to create real change, we must reject the systems and structures that uphold power imbalances and instead create our own tools and methods for dismantling them. This requires a deep understanding of the ways in which power operates and a commitment to challenging and transforming it.”

So maybe the quote isn't talking about the tools if the whole enterprise, but the master's *personal* tools; the ones he keeps neatly in a workshop in his home. Maybe these tools would not dismantle a house. Why not, though?
