Righteous Impotence

"Remember: When shooting protesters, always aim for the heart, never the head."
-The Nightly News, Jonathan Hickman.

Oh the outrage. As the massive sit-in known as Occupy Wall Street finally gains the media spotlight, let us take note. Give them what they want, which is not change, but all our attentions, so no one will miss it when, to a one, these Passive "Activists" disappoint; Flake, stutter, and disappoint. Disappoint themselves and the ideals they claim to stand for most of all, if they have any shame. Not because they are wrong, but because they are weak. And far, far too late.
Now that it's getting some coverage, now that it's cool in New York and Seattle, we should totally be outraged too.
Are you FUCKING KIDDING? Where was your indignation when the money was being spent. When the third war, the third fucking invasion and occupation our country is engaged in was begun. BP and the Gulf? The destruction of a whole ecosystem and way of life for thousands of people? How about Fukushima? The permanent toxic death-zone the meltdown incident in Japan is still and even now making of the pacific ocean? Isn't that outrageous enough to "no longer remain silent"?
Shut the fuck up. Look around, take a breath, and realize your half-hearted facebook revolution as the impotent masturbation it is. You want a better world? Burn this one down first. Get to work. Stop fucking posing to video-blog on your iphone, don't worry about the way your asymmetric haircut looks in the photo art, and pick up an axe if you actually give a damn. The folks who run this shit didn't get there and stay there with sentiment, and they won't be moved by it. The Arab Spring Revolutions might have used twitter, but they used it for one purpose, and that was to get blood on the streets and occupy government property when it was the only tool available and all other communications technology were blocked and media blackouts were solidly in place. They were not in a public park with cameras all around. The pretension would be hilarious if it wasn't so predictable and pathetic.

Motivational Meat

The rains have returned. Summer break is long over. The kids have been in school for months, and I only now have the stomach for meatwork.
It's easier with the sun snuffed into damp perpetual twilight to sit indoors and read The News, play catch up with the horror-show of world events in the modern world. Easier. Not easy, but in the rain, it is easier. Appropriate is the word.

The election season is warming up nicely now, though still a bloodletting or twelve away from the primaries. Ron Paul is turning into Mirror, Mirror Ralph Nader. It was sad to see Donald Trump bow out so early, but unsurprising. I had high hopes for that guy. Not to win, but he would have brought out the circus-whore ridiculousness in this election, made it the corrupt and stupid spectacle it's longing to become. Imagine it: Half hour campaign spots and media specials from last Spring till next November. With show girls. Massive open bribery and mudslinging on all sides. We really lost a lot of good bullshit with that one. But It's only begun. The poor bastards are all still shadowboxing, afraid to really commit and lay into each other, just trying not to trip on on their own bullet points and fuck up the early consolidation of dependable hardliner constituency, which is more fickle than ever with so many poor records being polished up to look race-worthy. Even incumbent Obama is going to have to woo the blindest party-voting Democrat regions to his side to hold on to his useless historical position, which would be first ever loss during wartime. But war is perpetual for us now, so they were bound to overlap eventually.
