They’re grrrrreat



If a picture is worth a thousand words, the words of this picture are: “it might be time to reconsider the meaning of protest as a form of activism.” Repeated 66.66 times.
An MC dramatization (TM):
Guy in the future: “Remember when globalization almost became the new paradigm of cultural, political, and economic order? That was a close one.”
Girl in the future: “Yeah, it’s a good thing some people took it upon themselves to dress up like assholes.”
It is one thing to protest Angela Merkel's attempt to put protesters scents on file (which, according to “The Lives of Others,” was also a Stasi tactic; so way to not repeat the mistakes of the past, New Germany), but protesting a concept like “globalization” seems like trying to have an argument with a baby. Or like protesting the world. And if that’s your goal, any teenager can tell you that the most effective way is to listen to music really loud and smoke cigarettes.
