And the movement is weak!
Originally I was only going to go to the protest in my city because it's over 100 today and we were just going to hunker down and do projects. But I couldn't find the time it started in my town. So Mr S. looked around and noticed that two of the cities next to me were also holding protests and all the protests were at staggered times. This is when we figured out that these were traveling mobs and they were surely trying to inflate their numbers and the interest in their cause.
So I started at the farthest city over. Then went to lunch. Hit the city in the middle and by the time that one was wrapping up I went straight to my town. And frankly my city was the most tardly city in the land. The two other cities had maybe 2-300 people tops. But I left the lest protest before it has wrapped up so most people hadn't left from the other site yet. So they are going to make my city look totes progressive.
The speakers also went from one city to the next.
Also I have to say - for the most part, protestors these days are really unimaginative. Their signs are so boring.
(yawn)
I saw the guy with the orange sign at two cities.
Said the most white girl ever. I've really had it up to here with white guilt.
Okay... puppy kicking. Now that's kinda cute.
Here's that guy again at another city.
Lot's of children as props.
Also funny.
At the risk of sounding like Marinetti or Russolo, with all of the cultural and political baggage that might seem to imply, I offer the following critique of today's scheduled outrage:
ReplyDeleteI can't take seriously any movement that has shitty art behind it.
BTW, you might know Russolo better from who he influenced in sound: the band name "The Art of Noise" comes from a manifesto on sound that Russolo wrote.
"... every 5 seconds siege cannons gutting space with a chord ZANG-TUMB-TUUMB mutiny of 500 echos smashing scattering it to infinity. In the center of this hateful ZANG-TUMB-TUUMB area 50 square kilometers leaping bursts lacerations fists rapid fire batteries. Violence ferocity regularity this deep bass scanning the strange shrill frantic crowds of the battle Fury breathless ears eyes nostrils open! load! fire! what a joy to hear to smell completely taratatata of the machine guns screaming a breathless under the stings slaps traak-traak whips pic-pac-pum-tumb weirdness leaps 200 meters range far far in back of the orchestra pools muddying huffing goaded oxen wagons pluff-plaff horse action flic flac zing zing shaaack laughing whinnies the tiiinkling jiiingling tramping 3 Bulgarian battalions marching croooc-craaac ..."
The "protesters" are also shitty revolutionaries with bad art coming out of their mouths as well. :-)

ReplyDeleteThey KNOW they can't change the laws. That the majority want them enforced. Thus, they try to cheat lie and even steal in the name of the children.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see these idiots "protesting" it's always the same faces.
This one about the children and illegals really pisses me off though. Really pisses me off.
