Today's topic: politics-- a most powerful word... Powerful in that it makes people fall asleep at the speed of light! But hell, I don't blame 'em. The same old droning, lying voices going on and on promising shit they will NEVER keep. Hardly worth a bloody listen, I feel you guys!
But... Today's post goes deeper than that.
Say WUT.Yes, the crux of what is shitting me runs deeper than this. This incident, in relation to politics, affects each and every one of the people reading this. Our fundamental rights as humans in a functioning (arguably) society. Just recently, there was a boy, eighteen years of age, a self proclaimed rapper, who is being held WITHOUT BAIL for three months on communicating a terrorist threat for posting a facebook status with lyrics labelling the white house as a "federal house of horros" or something along those lines (don't quote me, I'm not sure). The reason it was treated so seriously was because he posted it in conjunction with the recent Boston Bombings.
I recently read an article or two on the matter, and this is what is alleged:
1. There was no actual threat in the facebook status
2. In context, the lyrics were nothing more than a metaphore
3. They searched his apartment, there was no bomb making materials, and nothing indicating he was going to do any violence to any one, or any group of people
Now, my source for this was the internet, so I'm not entirely sure how true the whole shenanigan is, and I would like to know what the post said specifically. HOWEVER... It's saying something if I can honestly say I COULD believe this to be true. AND, if this does pan out to be true, to me it just looks like a case of the Government getting butthurt that some eighteen year old kid was brave enough to post his true feeling (and probably the truth) on Facebook. It sickens me. And quite frankly, HOW DARE THEY. I know the incident took place in America, but Australia ain't so far away from its counterpart. What the hell kind of society do we live in, in which we cannot even criticise our own Government, or give our OPINION without being CARTED OFF TO JAIL. Or frowned upon. Or SHUNNED (shun the non-believer... shuuuuuuun (YEAH UNICORN POLITICS WOOOO).
Without feedback (albeit harsh), the Government will continue to rot. Silencing us is NOT an option. This incident is reflective of the current legislature's steps forward towards a fucking dictatorship. {The people elect the Government. The Government serves the people.} That's the theory, right? WELL HOW ABOUT THE HIGHER UPS PUT THAT INTO PRACTICE.
I'm sorry to young liberals and young labor party-ers, that get butthurt by this, but let's be honest: the current government is that shit your dog just did under that bush in the garden he likes so much... Oh look, he's walking over to it and eating it again... And, is it... YES! He's puking it up again!
Really, there is not much choice. I don't know how these clowns become politicians.
I think we should strap lie-detectors to their faces every time they face the public. Or shove a goblet of veritaserum down their gobs, that'll fix it right up.
And what about these new privacy laws and censorship laws? Ohai 1984! I'm sure those guys up in Parliament would LOVE to slap a camera in all of our houses and have 24/7 access to everything we are doing... Look, I'm deadly serious when I say we live in a century of corruption, censorship, capitalism and above all, BULLSHIT. It depresses me that the first year I get to vote for our prime minister, the two main candidates are akin to that of a trained monkeys.
Even more dangerous are those that blindly follow a particular person/party without second guessing what they even stand for. Like a brain-dead, zombified sheep... Bahhhh. I'm sick of the fakes. I'm sick of broken promises. I'm sick of this mediocre half-wit antic bullshit we as citizens have to put up with while the pollies chill in their nice houses and laugh at us all.
No. Just no.
Stop segrogating us. Stop taking away our rights. Stop treating us like shit. And KEEP YOUR DAMN WORD.
