symbioidljSo today the first death occurred in the anti-globalization movement. And it wasn't a cop. Mr. Fuckhead Blair said this about their little global meetings:
``We would prefer to be out there in a normal setting being able to meet people,'' Blair told reporters. ``But we can't because some of these demonstrators are so violent.''
Which is complete and utter bullshit. There was never any violence in Seattle until the pigs started shit. From there it's always escalated. But not only that, they had their chance to be open. The WTO, World Bank and IMF are all closed clubs. No-one is allowed in. It is absolutely NOT democratic. Why do they expect us to believe the G8 is?
If they'd prefer to meet people, why aren't there arrangements made with them and the moderate groups working for solutions? I myself am an anarchist and salute those who take a very direct action...
The security is insane! They have fucking Surface to Air Missiles to protect the leaders! They claim it's cuz Bin-Laden made a death threat. But christ!
As an anarchist, I don't believe that any damn "reform" they make will do shit, but instead, merely delay further pain. They completely believe in their system of governance and economics, and as such, they will never try to look at a viewpoint that's outside their paradigm. That's what's required, but they won't do it. I'm vague, I know.
It's fucking pathetic that it took a death of a protestor to get my spirit going again. But then again, i think I'm experiencing Malaise right now, and I tend to use anger to stop being depressed. I feel angry and passionate and alive when I'm in my anarchist frame-of mind... otherwise, I'm down, sad, uncreative. Now I need to tap this energy into something productive.
My heart goes out to those brave individuals who are bravely taking on the system... to the point of death.
Umm. i gotta go clean shit up before picking up rosemary tonight. so toodleoo everyone. I really will try to make my next post not so pathetic and whiny and sad and complainy. Thanks for sticking with me through all this negative narcissistic bullshit. I'll get some positive narcissistic bullshit up eventually.
