Hello 2015. Damn, not a week in. The NAACP bombing was gross but that Charlie Hebdo tragedy touches home for me.<\/p>\n
They were a big symbol across all media, for over four decades of freedom of speech in France. I would take the train and look at the newspaper stand and quickly read the front page like millions of people in Paris probably. It didn\u2019t matter if it was brilliant or corny as hell, we all smiled or giggled before getting in the tube. We all took that freedom of speech for granted. We got warnings but we\u2019re so complacent about how we\u2019re soft with everything, even fundamentals.<\/p>\n
What trigger? A generation imploding under heavy unemployment with no upward social mobility: when people are not happy, even smart they become stupid. Religions scoop them all. Second, 9\/11. Since then and the monumental hammered in message that it\u2019s \u201cus against them\u201d -I guess Christians VS Muslims kind of vibe?- it\u2019s utterly fucked up. <\/p>\n
I see all kinds of messages. France needs more guns. France needs less Muslims. France needs to stand for freedom of speech.<\/p>\n
I think France and obviously other nations need less religion. Separation of the State and the Church remember? It\u2019s like we forgot. But as vital, we need to redefine how we get people together economically and how to redistribute our vast wealth. It\u2019s just, it needs to happen.<\/p>\n
And dear obnoxious media, you need to stop with \u201ccool pope\u201d and \u201cIslamic terrorists\u201d it\u2019s not a sports game with teams. Fuck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
