...And We Thought That Nation-States Were a Bad Idea
"Publicly subsidized! Privately profitable!" That's the anthem of the upper-tier
(the puppeteer untouchable).
We focus a moment, nod in approval and bury our head back in the bar-codes of these neo-colonials
while our former nemesis (ah, the romance!): the nation-state,
now plays fund-raiser for a new brand of power-concentrate.
Try again, but now we're confused- what is "class-war"? Is this class war? Yes, this is class war.
And I'm just a kid- I can't believe that I gotta worry about this kind of shit!
What a stupid world!
Yeah, this is just beautiful...
absolutely no regard for principle.
What a stupid world.
(We're): 1) born 2) hired 3) disposed!
Where that job lands, everybody knows
and you can tell by the smile on the CEO's
that the environmental restraints are about to go.
You can bet that laws will be set
to ensure the benefit of unrestricted labor-laws
(all kept in place by displaced government death squads).
They own us. They produce us. They consume us.
Can you fucking believe this?
What a stupid world.
Fuck this bullshit display of class-loyalties.
The media and "our" leaders wrap it all up in a flag- their fucking shit-rag.
hooray!
