haha..yeah.i needed a boost.i had just come across the charlie hedbo shootings and was feeling pretty down.
posted it more for myself than anyone else but i am glad it put a smile on faces other than my own.

keep it sexy brother!

hope i didnt come across as too harsh but the whining was grating on me a tad.

i am getting cranky in my old age.

what did ya think?

check this slice of delicious out:

ha!
yep..missed it.
hadn't had my coffee yet.

i would not say i am anti-establishment but rather suspicious of power and authority,and rightly so in my opinion,but thats all that is..my opinion.

i tend to post chomsky because he is the most quoted and since he is so critical of power his research tends to be thoroughly vetted.i also post:chris hedges,henry giroux,sheldon wolin,carl popper all whom are extremely critical of the current power structures.

my faith dictates my politics and to me the argument is always,and i mean always:power vs powerlessness

i am critical of power.
i challenge authority and question its validity,forcing said authority to prove its relevance in todays society.

just because i criticize and challenge current power structure in no way dismisses the very good and beneficial accomplishments of the society i reside in.there are many positives to be acknowledged and applauded,but we must be vigilant and do our due diligence in order to challenge extremely powerful forces that seek to undermine the myriad of hard-won rights and privileges in order to benefit themselves at the detriment of everybody else.

so while my politics may be perceived as radical by some,it is not radical at all to me.which should be self-evident.

and disagreement is not only fine by me but welcomed,and i am glad you will engage with me (some people fear conflict).engagement forces me to refine and examine my own ideologies and if they are found lacking,then they must be discarded.without challenge and criticism we will all sit in our own hubris,an echo chamber of our own insular ideologies,smelling our own farts.

now where is the fun in that?

anyways..always a pleasure sparring with ya.
stay awesome brother and merry christmas happy new year!

merry christmas fucker!!

i fucking love you man!
so glad you are still around to add your steady voice of reason and humanity.

yeah,my anarchy video wont get many votes.
i dont expect it to.
most of the dissenters,dissidents and agitators have left the sift.
so the normals will watch it and two things will happen.
1.it will make them angry,but they wont comment because that would be,you know,risking a confrontation or *gasp* conflict.
2.they will take it personally and still not comment for the very same reasons as above.

dont want to be viewed as a 'non-conformist" or be seen as "different".
dont make waves.
sit down.
shut up.
behave.

which is exactly the mentality the dude in my video is railing against.
probably why i found it so entertaining.
i do admire that mans passion.
