Passive resistance.

It's always a delight to peruse through the daily madness that is international news. Violence, gore, dead kids/terrorists, it really makes one appreciate the simplicity of a comfortable slave-owner life. I like to have opinions, and to express them, but here in Quebec, who used to be a British occupied country, there are some that one can't express anymore. For those of you who don't know, we used to have our own 'terrorists' here. The FLQ, Quebec's liberation front, was formed by workers and intellectuals as some kind of syndicalist/socialist movement for independence, who would use violence to accomplish what years of servitude would'nt: give the french population a chance to govern itself.

But they were terrorists, because they attacked the system in a violent uprising, giving the private media a chance to paint them as bloodthirsty maniacs, a danger to all, depriving their movement of any sympathy from the common man. Even today, the still burning embers of this group are vilified by the machine; when one of our most vocal separatist is seen supporting the lebanese, while holding -gasp of horror from the gold necklace adorned bulging necks of distinguished ladies- the hizbullah flag. Because they're not a legitimate resistance movement mind you, they're terrorists. They target civilians, while when the israeli army kill a dozen, it's an honest mistake. They say 'sorry' and move on to the next atrocity.
So this is my proposition to you. I don't like this system. It makes the majority an uneducated blobby mass that enjoys driving around for no reason, spending stupidly beyond it's means, while the rich get richer and the gene pool gets shallower. Let's resist like civilized people. For the rest of the year, don't spend on futility. Buy food from local farmers, the minimum, don't waste. Don't buy new clothes to follow the trend, and if you must, buy used clothing. Buy what's necessary, not what's flashy and hip and too often useless. Don't buy a car, share one. Don't drive unless you truly need to; you might find it a bit boring at first, not going road tripping every weekend, but that's the price to pay to fix society. Shut down your tv, ignore it, ignore the stars, the glamour, the fake news. Go out, walk, draw, sing, do something, stop being a spectator, participate in life. Talk with strangers, debate things, give your mind a chance. Work less, you don't need the money if you don't spend. Never be a slave to your paycheck. Let's get our lives back from the brink, and we'll realize that those shadowy elites that pull the strings in the darkness, were merely the reflections of our own greed.
And if in the end, it does'nt change, well, there will always be the meteor.

Mel Gibson, the Drunken Nazi

So I went out and got a bit drunk tonight. I get back home, and I browse a bit through my usual news outlets. And it's about Mel Gibson. Everywhere. And who gives a damn, really? I like Mel, he's a really bad actor, I tried to enjoy Braveheart, but it ultimately ended up being a disappointment ( the ghost thing). I respect the fact that he is a religiously motivated man, or so he says. And he seems to let the anti-semitism fly when he's drunk. Big fuckadoodeldy deal. When you drink alcohol, your brain is'nt quite the sharp knife it used to be when sober, so forget about witty remarks and deep conversations. You wake up in the morning, and realize you made a huge mistake. But then a newspaper is talking about what you said under the influence, and is making a huge deal out of it, and is putting this lousy story before all the Death and Suffering(tm) that is currently happening in the world, like your slurry abuse shouted at an arresting officer is worse than a few missiles slamming in an unfortunate nest of people trying to flee the carpet bombing. Oh my god, we found a bigot in North America, that's unforgivable, what, with our long history of respecting everyone and...ah, what's the point...
In a world where we all get up and denounce the guy that had a drink too many, but ignore the truly racist crime carrying on day after day, all the while blathering platitudes about a right to defense and mistakes and collateral damage, we truly deserve what's coming. It's times like this I wish I was Mel Gibson's neighbor, so I could walk to him, slap him across the face and say: "Why in hell are you apologizing? You don't care, no one really does. It's just filling in the medias, you're just straw man of the day. You expressed a deplorable opinion, so what. Many of us drunks do it all the time. What you need to do is go beyond hatred, beyond petty spite. Read Friedrich Nietzsche's "On the Origin of Moral Feelings", understand that a man of noble spirit is above the enduring, flimsy angers of the masses. Forget about it, move on, and let those who would only remember that error be damned with their self-righteous crusades; they often have more to hide than loudmouth drunkards."
Come meteor, and save this universe from the useless arrogance of lowly men.
