before i begin. don't get me wrong. i COMPLETELY support the progressive movement/unrest that is brewing right now. but there's SO much more to it (including what the "other" side has to say about it as well). anyway.....
i'm hearing ALOT of chatter about Corporate this Corporate that but not nearly enough about people getting their own shit in line. there's an irony to anyone out there protesting if they have a credit card in their pocket and are saddled with an endless line of debt that cripples their freedom (unless of course someone forced your hand while signing off on each and every one of those frivolous "purchases".) I'm not saying those people should not be there because i'd be willing to bet that credit served as a crutch to try to offset the general public being screwed by a "democracy" that is anything but at this point. BUT without mincing ANY words....leave it to the American "rebels" to yap and yap righteously while they've got Visa/Mastercard's cock(s) in their mouths.
quit your job and do your "protesting" on a timeline that isn't convenient for you. you wanna make a difference ?? say no to your mortgages, your car payments, your credit card bills, your college loans. REALLY blow the fucker up. oh wait you can't because because because because [insert list of excuse after excuse].
YEP.
i'm leaving to go do just that for awhile for the sole reason that i want to visit a few different places to bear witness to these times with my own eyes.
back to the shit(e)
this isn't just about corporate America. we're also in this MESS because of Americans charging their lives away. PERIOD. every one of those deadbeats is a burden on EVERYTHING. YOU are the ones who (along with those pariahs everyone is demonizing) hedged the stability of our future. i'm 14 years from cutting up my last Citibank credit card so i can speak freely. as a 20-something in 1998 i was smart enough to get the fuck out then and there. i KNEW where it was heading. don't get me wrong there were a few REALLY shitty years since when i could have used a credit card to make things EASIER. i was royally fucked but i suffered the hell of that and came out the other end without that financial burden to boot.
at times Americans are real good at the blame game rather than looking in the mirror and admitting how the roots of the problem begin with them right in their own home where their poor decisions rot and while following other people's rules because they gave up their ability to simply say NO to simply say FUCK YOU because they didn't have the GUTS to take the path less traveled.
"The artist needs to stand alone to see the crowd."
the arts taught me a COMPLETELY different value system and maybe if more were exposed to that they would be in a different position today. i've lost my way with it. everyone's been there. but i fought like a MOTHER FUCKER to get it back..
in America the numbers actually DO lie......PATHOLOGICALLY.
the real question is: which ones ?????
