freshwest's JournalThe insane part is that it's spewed by those who are not hurting in any way, but very well off.
The Anonymous quote rings true:
The ones you are noticing are more terrified than anything else. They are lashing out because they are comfortable; and to acknowledge what is happening is a threat to that comfort.
Ignore them, for they are not the voices that will rise in the coming days, months and years. They are not the voices of our collected humanity.
They are the old voices of fear and impotence.
These guys remind me of an old quote, if you don't mind:
In the words of Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor Who:
"You know the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They both don’t alter their views to fit the facts. They alter facts to fit their views. Which can be very uncomfortable if you’re one of the facts that needs altering."
Having been and known some of the facts who don't fit their views, I can tell you, it's very uncomfortable.
Symbolism is all the baggers have between grunt and fart sessions.
Their frontal lobes must be atrophied to swallow the rightwing swill. They are meat on the hoof and the ads were paid for by the butchers.
From your link. But you'll only hear the sound of crickets:
Liberalism has a blindspot when it comes to pornography. Liberals see it as a freedom issue - adults should be free to watch porn if they want, so long as no-one is harmed in the making of it. Adults should also be free to make porn if they want. Companies should be free to sell porn.No one wants to oppose pornography, for fear it will make them look Victorian and repressed, like Mary Whitehouse. To oppose porn might be seen as 'weird' - to accept it and giggle at it is normal.
In fact, just about the only male journalist I can think of who has raised any concerns about the massive global pornography industry and its effect on all of us is Chris Hedges, a Pulitzer Prize-winning war correspondent who has become something of a moral voice in journalism.
In his 2008 book, Empire of Illusion, he asserted that porn is a particularly vicious form of corporate slavery, in which women are commodified, abused and traumatised for the pleasure of male consumers and the multi-billion-dollar profit of corporations.
