patentdragonTwitter is overloaded right now, because of those sorry hippy fuckers in London. It comes as absolutely no surprise that the windows of the main branch of The Royal Bank of Scotland have been smashed, because these wasters know the only power they have is to get headlines and top news stories by acting in precisely the way we all expected them to act.
What are you going to DO to fix the world? When the smoke goes down, and the broken glass is swept away, just what will you do? Creep away to get stoned, and wait for the next opportunity to smear blood on yourselves in front of the TV cameras, and cry "Police brutality!" You want "anarchy"? You've already got it, down there on the streets of London. Not as "kewl" as you expected, is it - not a shining Utopia where a man asks another man "be my friend"? And if we were to have the dreamy agricultural, barter-driven, dope-fuelled paradise you think is the ideal solution to all the world's problems, where would you recharge your iPod?
Protest, by all means. Contrary to what the anarchists tell you, it is your right - but don't be surprised if the police can't put up with all that spitting, all the verbal abuse, all the piss and whatever thrown over them. They are, after all, human beings too, and they had to give up their days off to be there - talk about adding insult to injury.
Protest - don't destroy. Then go home and see what positive action you can take to make the world a better place. I'm sure some of the protesters already do that, but I'd not be surprised that the majority just crack open a brew and sit back to wait for the next JSA payment to roll in.
Steppin' down to Eden. Yay, brother...
Just don't eat the fruit. It's lethal.
More later, possibly.
