the occupation is kind of cute. ive never seen so many white kids with dreadlocks! in all seriousness its great to see this happening, but id prefer if they dont refer to themsevles as "99%"
why? cuz im not part of you. im an ally, a sympathizer, but i think your whole system is a joke, not just the parts you want to fix.
corporatism is fascism - Mussolini said this, so did anyone with half a brain in the 30s. the neocons know this, thats why its decorated as freedom so heavily. the dems know this too, and its why its so painfully obvious that bipartisan politics in the usa is a distraction from the same universal goal. that goal, namely, is to turn the West (and, well, the rest of the world) into a giant artificial fish tank.
what we have here is the same parable of old, from Plato's Allegory of the Cave, to the Wachowski's The Matrix. Corporatism has produced a fish tank for their fish to live in. A nice pretty place, complete with rainbow colored plastic sunken pirate ship, glow in the dark neon green skulls, plastic algae, and those really groovy shiny oval rocks. The fish accepted willingly, and for a while it was pretty blissfull to swim around with all the food raining down from heaven and safe playground to live in. What happened outside of the fish bowl? Why should this even be a concern, right? And you could safely ignore the occasional case of Ick or the occasional little tiny fish getting sucked into the air filter, life was pretty A-OK. Corporate gods showered their sexy little gifts, and everything was blissfull.
No one even noticed the slime growing on the side of the fish tank, the excess algae, and the rising Ph level. Some of us did, some of us got vocal, and we were ignored. Some of us got real fucking angry, and were still treated like the oddballs, both by the Big C above and by the fellow fish around us. Some of us have been worshipers of the energies of the life giving essences of the fish tank, and have always decried the death of our natural seaweeds, and these blasphemous plastic green monstrosities erected in their place. Some of us have been saying the pirate ship is a fake toy our whole lives, only to be rejected by at least 99% of the other fish.
Eventually, the plastic seaweed was taken away. Then the cool skulls, followed by the pirate ship. Too hard to clean I suppose. Then the fish food got worse, and worse. Then bodies of other fish got a lot harder to ignore. Then you all started realizing that those bodies were always there, you always lived in immense fish suffering, and these stupid gifts from the corporate fish feeders are what allowed you to ignore it. You were able to pass the buck on, to diffuse your responsibility onto some other fish, or maybe even your oh-so-benevolent fish feeders, and to convince yourself that the fish tank was always getting better.
Now that your toys are taken away, youre pissed off. Youre assuming everyone else is too. Youre all swimming around in circles, angry at the situation. You want your fish feeders to behave according to some arbitrary moral guidelines, and if they wont, want some force in play to make them. You want your glow in the dark pirate ship back, and you want the groovy voodoo skulls in their same exact positions too. You want the plastic seaweed back pronto. You want to go back to your comfy cozy little womb of peace and quiet, where you can safely ignore the death and suffering in the world around you. You want "fairness," you want control over the fish food, you want to know that the fish feeders have good intentions, and you want someone to make sure they live up to it!
Fuck your fish tank. Ive been occupying their shit since i was 12. Im the worst consumer imaginable. My whole life youve told me I had no style, and my whole life I answered to you that I have no need for someone to sell me style. My whole life Ive Tuned In, Turned On, and Dropped out, and you waited until you went to college and some other fish told you it was cool to do so. My whole life Ive stolen every piece of music I have, from independent artists who enjoy that I do so, because were about destroying your fucking society and everything it stands for \m/. Ive spent a decade making sure I cost the system as much destruction as a kid possibly can do, and Ive spent another decade trying to open up as many people as I possibly can to a new horizon of psychedelic freedom and freedom from the spell of mindless consumerism. Ive been saying the CIA creates the flow of the heroin in your veins, the crack through your streets, and the acid in your brain for ever, and im not the only one either. Ive been screaming CONTROLLED DEMOLITION since 2002, but it wasnt "cool" on twitter back then. Ive been saying Facebook is a CIA datamine since it was conceived, and to this day I am all about anti-social media. Youre told to bown down to the deified Steve Jobs like he were Augustus himself, and you do! Ive been saying human progress is a non linear trap brought on by the unnatural condition of patriarchal control since I was a child, and that we are in an endless cyclical pattern, destined to repeat itself so long as all the fish believe that human social evolution is linear. Ive beein saying organized sports exists to castrate men while convincing them the opposite, that fast food is designed to render us infertile, and that the Western dietary template is purposely out of tune with Nature, and you found this ridiculous. You bought all their lies, for only $0.99.
Im being a bit facetious here, but ive been against modern civilization as a whole ever since I was a young teen. I am a messenger from the cosmos, merely here to say that I was born 10,000 years too early, or too late. Fuck your 99%, we are not the same. I am a barracuda, who was born into the fish tank with you, but chose to swim out. You, on the other hand, want your fish tank restored to working order.
Fuck your fish tank. You want to stop corporate power? Then do it. Dont stand there holding a fucking sign, those fucks hopped on their yachts and private jets, shat on your faces when they took off, and are partying on their private island someplace. STOP BUYING SHIT!!! Its as simple as that. Fuck your fashion, fuck your clothes, fuck your farm factoried foods, fuck biotechnology, fuck the FDA, fuck the cancer conspiracy, fuck all Western medicine, fuck your iGod, fuck your stupid fucking twatter and facebook shit, seriously, just throw the whole fishtank out. Destroy your television. Never watch youtube again. Dont expose your mind to advertisements of any form. GROW YOUR OWN FOOD. Grow your own weed, EVERYWHERE. Dont use plastic. Recycle other people's plastic. Bring a backpack everywhere. Use solar panels on everything. Dont ever use styrofoam. DOnt ever succumb to convenience, "Hoo Rah" your whole fucking life, because youre not a fucking guppie, youre a manta ray, a shark, a whale, whatever, youre not the fish theyre telling you that you are.
Learn Linux. Learn many languages. Learn martial arts. Study classical history. Study military history. Study paleontology. Study sustainable agriculture. Study holistic health care. Study prevention. Learn and do nothing else. Destroy nuclear families. Destroy the patriarchy. Eliminate the need for culture. Ignore borders. Turn your body into a weapon. Every human being out there is capable of crushing a small tree in half with their elbows, all it takes is to loose interest in their fish tank, and gain an interest in yourself. MEDITATE. Nourish your pineal activity. Rest well. Buy as little as you possibly can, reuse everything. Invent your own currency.
DESTROY THE IDENTITY THEYRE FORCING ONTO YOU. YOU ARE A COSMIC, INFINITE, AND POWERFUL CREATURE, AND THE LAST THING THEY WANT YOU TO BE AWARE OF IS THIS.
I am not the 99%. Im not in your fucking fish tank. Im a barracuda, and I belong in free waters. Excuse me, I have some trees to harvest energy from now.
(though, you might catch me at the Occupy Times Square rally tonight
)
