32. The only way this shit stops...

Sep 2014

is to stop giving the corporations your money. It's the only power we have left. And it starts with cutting your cable TV. The whole machine is connected to it - advertising (including political), programming violence and uber-patriotic BS, all going into your retina and mind, unfiltered. Pull the TV needle out of your arm - that's what Mario Savio called "putting your bodies on the gears." Everyone must certainly notice how right-wingers complain that poor people in the U.S. can afford television. You know what would happen if all those poor people stopped paying for cable, along with a bunch of the rest of us? Revolution! I bet their attitudes would change quick fast and in a hurry! The lower classes in this country are literally feeding the BS fantasy machine. Stop it and you stop them!
