Isn’t everything weird these days?
People protest about the 1% making so much money but cyber Monday generated $1.2 billion, up 22% from last year. I didn’t buy anything.
I thought we didn’t have any money? Modern Warfare 3 made over $1 billion in 16 days. Sixteen days, one game. Explain that to me guys. Not just the financial aspect but how a war game can be so widely welcomed, over and over. Zynga’s IPO and market cap is just… I mean they might be near dead in two years, all this money and BS it’s so sick, really.
The NDAA and SOPA shit fed by corporations’ motherfucking greed. Right during the end of the year when no one really wants to bother about anything but eggnog and food. And Skyrim. Goddamn dragons, son. #whitepeopleescapism
Google and Facebook filtering more and more. People disappearing from my timeline because I don’t interact enough with them so FB decides to not show them to me? Google putting my friend’s results first, here and there, like I haven’t noticed. And this condescending tone big G, Twitter and too many high tech services have toward users doesn’t say that they give a fuck. Machines are supposed to be neutral. That’s the great thing about them. At least it was.
It’s like all of that makes sense, in a bad way.

I don’t know about knowing everything but you are damn right about that illusion of power regarding the president of France (the only one I can witness throughout my peers… same for Putin or others… but people like to phantasize I think, plus it totally allows them to eschew taking any responsability. It’s just so easier to blame someone else, but who would want to be in Sarkozy’s place? or Putin? Dealing with Petroleum and Gaz trsts and lobbying, and all that shit…
Furthermore, the thought that there is no going back is depressing me. This capitalicracy has to touch the bottom for the Folk of the Earth may start something else, (like in human history books) but how long will it take? How will it extinct?
I guess we won’t see it happen anyway, we can only imagine what the end of Globalization will be like. For now already, even the dumbest and poorest person on earth know about how WE live the life in Europe, in the US… I know I say it all the time but how long can they take it? I’m really curious to know how long this will last, where it will come from.
Revolutions always come from the starving ones. Only when you starve and have nothing to loose you go back to making the rules, French Revolution my ass, starving french people yes, a long time ago, the last one in France, La Commune, starving Paris. Les révolutions Arabes ? Starving to death. But what will they get after these revolutions? How can you fight against globalized systems when you are starving people wanting bread?
The only solution is autocracy but yak that’s no dream, leaving in small villages. Why as soon as Man wanted to travel, know about the rest of the world, create new communication and exchange it destroys everything good. It is man’s own temptation that will always get him… [insert any church link here]
