What a Fucking Disaster ...

.... 'eh?

What a disaster these clowns and nitwits have made of the world. Yesterday's quarterly report on rising violence in Afghanistan. The economy collapsing under an avalance of debt. The environment buckling under our mindless consumerism and greed.

True, "the left" (in quotations in order to cast as wide a net as possible ... [hey, it makes sense to me!] ... ) has sometimes been on the wrong side of things, a-la Stalinism, imperialism, industrialism, etc, but since the 1960s (at the latest) it's been left-libertarian ideas that have produced feminism, anti-racism, anti-imperialism, environmentalism, all forms of anti-authoritarianism.

And I mention that because we've really got to get our message out there. Humanity might not survive. (Which isn't a big deal to the universe, not even the galaxy, but it means something to us as members of a species.)

To be blunt; the knuckle-dragging stupidity of Stephen Harper's worldview just isn't up to the job of steering humanity into the future. It's obscene, it's ludicrous to imagine that this stunted vision of pathetic greed, superstition and hatred can serve any useful purpose.

I've got to get back to work. That's my post for the day.
