What I'm about to say may hurt some feelings among people who think they're fighting the power. This is unfortunate, but I can hardly be blamed. What I'm seeing out there is a lot of people screaming about flouridation in drinking water, vaccines being harmful, "chemtrails", and other rubbish.
First thing is, if flouridation of drinking water was poisonous, everyone in Canada would have been dead 30 years ago or more. Yes, an excess of flouride can be harmful...But to get a harmful dose through drinking water, you'd die from a burst bladder long before you became poisoned. Vaccines have been screamed about ever since that waterhead Andrew Wakefield posted fraudulent data in The Lancet. In reality, what have vaccines done? Eliminated smallpox, the single biggest killer in mankind's history, and controlled other nasty diseases, such as polio and the measles. And chemtrails? I'm not even going to address that nonsense.
The entire collection is retarded. Normally, that would be fine...Plenty of people believe in weird garbage, and it does no harm. However, while you're pulling your underwear over your head and whimpering about flouride, the Bank of America is sodomizing you. And you PAY them for it. While you screech about chemtrails, utterly destroying your own credibility (if chemtrails were real, wouldn't the perpetrators also be breathing the poison? Jesus H Christ), congress is stealing your future. While you are ranting about vaccines and "indigo children", labor conditions in the United States are returning to somewhere around 1904.
YOU ARE WORRYING ABOUT THE WRONG THINGS.
Of course, dealing with the school-to-prison pipeline is hard. You can't do it in the cafe, to impress your pals and attract a mate with your grasp of "what's really going on", you have to go out there and DO something. Harass your congressman. Address school boards. Things that take EFFORT. It's not as much fun as huddling under the blanket with the other hipsters and huffing each other's farts, but it GETS RESULTS.
I mean, seriously, it comes down to the question, "What kind of world do you want"? Do you want to be the most ironic hipster in a hideous future of exploitation, or do you want to live in a world with clean air and water, getting paid a fair wage and in control of your own body? The sad fact is, you have to choose.
Occupy started out well. It was a genuine protest, a royal pain in the ass for the people who are bending us over. Then, after a few months, it became all about "general assemblies", which were basically soapboxes for the alpha hipsters to strut their stuff. Then, instead of being about bank/government collusion, it was about STUPID SHIT like flouridation, etc. It makes you wonder who was getting paid by whom. Maybe it was just the normal human political games, but it's entirely possible that the movement was deliberately neutered.
The truly insane part of all of this is that people are running around looking for conspiracies under every flat rock, when in fact the REAL conspiracies advertize on television. Merck, Bayer, Bank of America, Exxon, etc. They are taking the future away from you and selling you a facsimile at unreasonable rates, and you are buying it, because you're too damn worried about fairy stories to feel the gigantic warty penis being jammed up your arse by corporations that know exactly how DUMB you really are.
Pull your head out of your ass. Wake the hell up. Get the hell out from under that blanket.
That is all. You may now return to your regularly scheduled discussion about whatever the hell bogeymen you hipsters are worried about today.
Too bad we don't have someone to direct the wrath of the masses in appropriate ways. Those fireworks would be interesting.
Like a firehose of discontent.
Anyone that could direct the masses properly would find their ass in prison... probably being called a traitor to the country.
ETA: Kick Ass post Dok!
FUCKING RAH!
This one WILL piss off my Facebook friends. :lulz:
Permission to change the word "retarded" to "moronic" out of consideration for a friend who has a retarded daughter, when I repost?

By all means. I was wondering about that when I wrote it.
Thanks!

That was the whole essence of the rant. The rest was just the tortilla I wrapped it in.
Needs to be put on billboards.
Doc, can we turn this into a billboard? I'm not even fucking around.
Nobody's going to be on Facebook for the next two days so I'm posting it on Monday, before I leave for school. :evil:
What you're worrying about will never fuck you as hard as what you don't see coming.
Bitch about flouride hard enough, and a welshman from woonsocket will shank you for your wallet when you're taking a breath.
Just noticed prison-to-school instead of school-to-prison. Is that intentional or should I switch it?
