Feeding your Fears
Despite most recent efforts to the contrary, and the progressive idealism portrayed by our president, the most difficult part of changing the power structure in this country is because they have become so institutionalized that deconstructing it requires a complete systematic rehauling of the way modern society works. Eventually we will be to the point where technological achievements change the way society works enough that this overhaul will be entirely natural, however until this point boils over we will be forced to deal with this consumerist society. It’s impossible to know when all of this will take place, but it will be an interesting time. The crazy fools working in popular culture wish to maintain this control for as long as possible, at the expense of their own family, friends, neighbors and future generations. Ideally, technology will be able to help bridge the gap between the selfish elite and consumerist victims. This manifests in our poor communities the most, capitalism reigns supreme and is violently enforced due to ignorance. This stems back to education, which is what this is all about. Without proper education and an ability to cut through the large swath of bullshit which surrounds us, we are doomed to fall victim to the machinations of popular culture, which is as safe as trusting a junkie to watch your supply. Children are dieing in our streets and most of the public is happy to pursue their own rat race rather than examining the context which their actions fall within. Without this we are still the ignorant society, bumbling blindfolded and chasing a dollar bill at the end of a stick, moving ever farther away. With a little bit of effort we can educate our poor and equalize the playing field. Otherwise we’re simply letting these ghouls suck the life out of our society from the ground up.
