As previously stated, I sold out without getting paid. Aren't I just fucking brilliant?

20% of the worlds population consumes 80% of the resources. We're a paradox of a sane society.

I'm sitting here and thinking about violence. I'm not talking about physical violence, there's other sorts of violence. At least I think there is. Violence to me, is hurting something. In that sense, you can be violent to yourself. You can act violent by eating shitty food, or drinking a lot. Or there's the violence we put our children and young people through every day, forcing commercialism down their throats.

I was talking with a couple of classmates today. It was fun, we all got along a lot better then we usually do. It's nice to see old social barriers being knocked down by good old fashioned socializing. Anyways, some of the girls went shopping during our lunch break (fucking stereotypes). I simply can't understand their behavior, they didn't buy anything, so why go shopping?

Could it be because we're raised to be consumers first, and humans second? I think it might be, we associate happiness with spending. If you want to throw that perfect dinnerparty you have to buy the expensive meat! If you want to have extra fun when you're playing, you gotta have the new "ULTRA-EXTREME-INSERT RANDOM BULLSHIT HERE!"-toy.

I just can't understand those girls. I can't go shopping, it feels like I'm being sucked down into a shallow hole of commercialism every time I enter a store. But I guess that's what I have to pay for the whole "Angry communist"-thing. It's hard, I don't dislike these girls. It's quite the opposite, I enjoy their company. So it's hard to say "I find their behavior stupid and shallow" without feeling bad.

On the outside shopping is great. You trade some digital numbers or paper for merchandise. But on the inside, shopping is disgusting. Our welfare and wealth relies on the third world being poor. Someone has to work for basically no pay, without the Chinese children our economy wouldn't last. That's a universal truth, someone has to be exploited. There's a saying, I heard it in a course in marxism. It goes like this "If the factoryworker can afford what he's making, it's time to move the factory". In other words, if the workers can afford the ipod, they're getting paid to much.

We can all probably agree that the capitalist system is unfair, and that's without getting into how the banking system works.

Our system relies on problems. If we manage to sustain a world peace, the weaponindustry wont be able to make money. The factories will close down, and millions will lose their jobs. If we reach eternal good health for every single human on the planet, the medicalfactories, ambulances, doctors, nurses etc will be fired.

Lets face it, commercialism and capitalism are simply wrong, and it leads to poverty and oppression. We should do something about it, the keyword is should. But Idol is on right now, and for some reason I actually give a shit. Lets put the revolution on hold, I want to play some more World of Warcraft. And that's exactly what keeps this system alive, the apathy and stupidity of the masses. The only thing that can save the planet, is a informed, intelligent and critically thinking population. Good thing we don't have one, otherwise the economy would be fucked. For gods sake, think about the economy!

People prefer to hear a bourgeois-whore telling them to buy proper fur. They're more concerned about Brangelina's marriage then Lissabontreaty. But it's not entirely their fault, if you grow up watching MTV and eating chocolateflakes for breakfast, you'll end up thinking in the MTV way and giving your children chocolateflakes for breakfast. The world is turning into a policestate , but we're to busy watching millionaires give us a tour of their house.

Peace, love and all the other hippiestuff.
