are protesters thinking before they protest

new ways of protesting

Clearly, there are few democratic avenues left open to sentient beings in our multimediocre bluediamond illusionation-illusionation once again! (soon as you kill for a pinch of freedom you get stung by the new blockhead on the kid)- so i salute those who bother to go marching past big buildings full of bullytitians-what can a poor boy do (apart from sing in a dad rock band???) Yet i am prone to ponder the possible futility and even the possible unwitting collusion of such conventional demonstrations. its fashionable to think that THE STATE IS OUT OF DATE but less trendy to think that ANTI-STATE or ANTI-MEGASTATE (ie; greater america:paddies,brits frogs,gerries,polaks,spics,whops...etc.)PROTEST might equally be out of date... How bout a huge monster meeting on a mountain in ireland (or a huge cliff by the sea) where every weary protester and her husband and his dog and the nextdoor neighbours'mother can simply and specifically celebrate their lack of proximity to all those ugly,vulgar bullytitians that blight this ever put upon land OF OURS. save your power for yourselves. maybe marching past the same old buildings has become the sincerest form of tacitly state-approved state flattery? Is the protest movement giving brewersdroopy politicians the biggest hard-ons of their miserable careers?... A hundred thousand celebrants gathered on ben bulban dressed as cops and one child dressed as a romanian flowerseller being chased by the aforementioned could make a deliciously keystone image that could laughingly travel faster into our hearts of darkness than another hundred years of cliched chanting and stone-throwing...lets try goofing off into paradise together in style rather than be cast yet again as angry mob extras in some ghastly old chancers insufferably formulaic b-movie.
