the local elections and the European elections , have brought up some alarming prospects, and that is even if you can use the media engine to whip the country up into an artificial frenzy and claim that we are being attacked on all sides by invisible enemies, that even then , with all of the fear and hate mongering the very best you can do is manage to convince , a puny 30 % of the eligible voting public that what is being publicly stated is more than empty rhetoric and bullshit, the party pledges of a few individuals that have become so ensconced in their own artificial reality begin to sound like adverts , POW! buy this product it will save your life , but only if you can afford it , No buy this product it will save you money, vote for me I can sort all this out , but really deep down we all know that it is all horse shit, we can buy those products and we could vote for you, but when the products end up being made of toxic chemical waste, and the candidate look and sound like vicious cobras you can understand why we might want to abstain from the whole shebang. which is largely what we are seeing the world over, people want to have the opportunity to govern themselves.
Personally when the last Labor Government took us to war with a foreign Islamic nation, I could not believe the surrealistic implications, the fact that a million people took to the streets to protest an illegal invasion being waged on our taxes and were completely ignored, showed then that democracy , real democracy is dead , and has probably been dying for a while, I think upon reflection that might have been what Hunter S Thompson was ranting and raving about. the American gonzo journalist that survived through two terms of Nixon actually bloody killed himself when George bush the second was reelected. At the time I was working in the mainstream, being suitably ( though not sufficiently ) subsidized for my ' labor ' in evil machinations. There really was nothing else to do , but resign myself to a kind of self imposed poverty, I will not act or endorse this illegal invasion anymore, I withdrew my labor , and with it I withdrew my obligation to pay taxes and therefore continue endorsing this rubbish that I do not agree with, thats ok said the government, we will raise the tax threshold to 10'000 per year wow i said what an offer , so if I can even make 10,000 in this economy that you have completely fucked , you will borrow my eligible tax and if at the end of the year I have been skint enough to warrant it , upon application I can get that money back . WOW just like banking then , basically I put my wages in on a Friday via some digital means or another. YOU trade with it in arms and chemicals and mining until it 'clears' a few days later and then I am free to spend it on whatever taxable commodity or services I feel inclined , and then you will take at least 20% of said revenue so you can carry on bombing innocent people. No MATE i DONT THINK SO.
I tried several means of legitimate protest, petitions supplications even attempting to be able to carry on with what I would consider to be worthwhile albeit unpaid work through the formation of a charitable enterprise, which was smashed to pieces over two years by the local authority we actually set up to assist. MADNESS in every direction!thats ok I thought I knew this and these little inevitability's were about to transpire really it should be apparent to any one with even a loose grip of historical context and sociological implication, but still I feel like the lunatic ignored all the more for the fevered ravings of the impending doom that no one else seems to want to face up to. aggressively they maintain a fixed focus , on whatever it is they are doing , even if the thing they are doing is something they cannot stand for people they cannot abide, just to maintain some poor excuse of an existence.
Sigh ! these days its pretty hard to acknowledge the cold hard truth of the chasm we are all racing toward in order to be deemed as productive, by imbeciles and dangerous reptiles, the entire voting consensus has all armed themselves with surveillance equipment in an attempt to counter the surveillance of the state and its all fed into the digestive tract of the god awful internet machine brought up by companies that support and endorse the candidates that re tell us all just what we want to hear, because they know , we volunteered the blueprint of our own enslavement, and now we have to buy it back from the vendors or face the consequences, bleak isnt even the word for it,
Really I would like to remain optimistic in the face of adversity to be able to rally defensive momentum for my rights thoughts and feelings. I have resigned myself to the notion that the U.K will be one of the last strongholds for this kind of feudalistic ridiculousness, and so off to Europe I went,
Realistically I have quite simple wants when I was asked during my involvement in the occupy movement what exactly it was that I wanted to achieve , the best response I could come up with that quite simply I should like to be able to pay a little less and be able to live a little more, not a huge request or an unreasonable demand but an inherent right !! all I really want to do is be able to engage at will with the productive process, anyone familiar with my body of works will have seen the eclectic nature of my personal interests, that through some miracle I have managed to keep financially viable ( but then the basic business model , is to literally make something out of nothing ) would it be so bad if I was able to be in an environment that was inspiring engaging stimulating beautiful and productive , to be able to live , with suitable option for human interaction and collaboration AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE !! of course not , what kind of pipe dream is that you left wing long haired liberal you. how can we justify renting you that space for residual production, when we could rent to the financial services or some other fictitious trader of phantom commodities that pay staff millions and millions to perpetuate the destruction of the views and vistas I would consider to be inspirational valuable and worthwhile all in the name of progress! it is a bit of a mess isnt it ?, the rise of conservatism across the world echoes the argument that certain parties want to keep everything the same , the same leaders the same structures and strictures the same laws and parameters the preservation of those that consider themselves to be more worthwhile than their neighboring humanity ARROGANCE in short a kind of mind numbing insulation that only affects the upper class and those who have been tricked into thinking that they are anything other than working or lower class, huge swathes of administrative systems people towing the line and maintaining the status quo assuring themselves that if only they can do what the peers request , that they too might join the ranks of the artificial dignitary and have a shot at a sip from the golden cup of opulence. like the lottery its exploitation of the ignorant, unfortunately the ignorant dont know that they are ignorant they think that the bias opinion they were given to regurgitate is actually there own, this is a very dangerous herd animal the kind that saw fascism and far right opinion winning polls in the pre war German democracy, but no one wants to think about that now, its too depressing the idea that millions of people from across the world died to defend the rights of the individual , well thats just not profitable. unfortunately we have really nearly run out of things that can be speculated on , and prove to be profitable, land is running out , the oceans are full of poisons and very few fish, the air has more contaminants than it has oxygen, and we are continually cutting down trees for additional luxury abodes parking spaces kitchen work surfaces not even so everyone can have an entitlement to these things but so they are fooled with the impression of choice of the consumer market.
I could go on and on , but I feel suitably sated having just rendered my thoughts even if it is through this awful internet machine,there are so many things that need to be frantically addressed , The rest of the world are at least at logger heads the dire straights of the situation and the impending doom that we all must face, is completely ignored here in the UK but for how much longer, how much longer will the silent obedient consent constrain the exercising of good old common sense. not too much longer I hope, when all of those people that are having babies realize that there is no where left for the new generation to go , all of those in education realize that there are no jobs certainly none actually worth doing, all of those in councils and police forces and military, when will you look over the back fence of your poxy suburban steel trap and realize that the monsters that stalk this land are unrelenting and they are coming for you , once you have finished being distracted by the purpose you allegedly have, look for your savings your pensions your health schemes and mortgages your childcare all of these shining slogans you were duped into buying with a lifetime of futile labor they are all empty! worthless ! what good is it that you think your house is worth X if it means your children will never be able to afford a home and have to live with you for ever, thats ok got enough space , add another generation and see what happens to your tiny residential entitlement. oh well having a go at the mentally ill really isnt my business, but when the mentally ill start making unreasonable demands and stipulations about how my time should be spent I have to retaliate ! so I will return to sailing boats about various countries and producing drawings paintings , urban engineering and architecture engaging in the sciences I enjoy and the pursuit for knowledge that accompanies them, I will I am sure continue to write for an invisible audience and have adventures liaisons and close shaves and this will be the tumultuous life times of many until common sense returns once again if indeed it ever does .
but for the short while at least ... I am off to sail about x
