Spoken language.
Written language.
The printing press.
Telecommunications.
The internet.
These are the five major revolutions in human communication. They have all had an impact on our history, and they have all played a role in our ongoing struggle for freedom.
The internet matters. It is an important front in that struggle, and memes are an effective tool for clarifying and spreading messages of freedom.
But at the end of the day, what matters (as
pointed out yesterday) is life in the real world. The internet matters, but everything is more real in the real world. And real is better.Laughing with friends online (or with online friends) is great. But laughing with them in person is far better. Looking at pictures of amazing places is cool, but the buzz of a bee in your own backyard is even better.
Oh, and even the most routine sex with a real person is exactly 10 trillion times better than porn.
So make the arguments online. Reach hearts and minds. Share those memes. It all matters. But at the end of the day, we’re fighting for ourselves, and each other, as real beings in the real world. So touch grass, touch each other, and rock on, me hearties!
When you go to the supermarket, which is lined with plastic, take some crap (which is probably made of plastic) from a plastic shelf and is in a plastic container inside layers of gaudy plastic wrapping, then you go to the plastic check out desk, and the cashier, who is wearing a plastic uniform and plastic mask (and seems to have a plastic brain) asks if you want to pay by plastic, but won't give you a plastic bag to carry all the plastic shit home in.
Oh, and the drink with the paper straw, which implodes after only one suck, is not only wrapped in plastic, but the noxious brew is served in a fucking plastic cup.
It's a good job they took our guns away innit?
Thank You for a collection of superb laughs!!!
