Sometimes the only way you can know if real progress is being made is by how pissed off the most authoritarian and usually malevolent members of a society's power structure are becoming. Recently I've been told to shut the fuck up or else, so I've decided to take an extended break from trying to improve Planet Bullshit. Everyone is standing around in their underwear spouting nonsense and following the generations before them into a deeper and deeper hole where humanity's collective soul and the American Dream once resided. Those of us who can see it, who can admit our own complicity in it and who have the guts to try and turn things around are relatively free but also cursed with having to convince others to free themselves. Thank you for telling me that it's okay to let you guys fuck yourselves for a while without having to watch for a change.
