Munters I have met

There's an old saying that goes something like "If you're not a socialist at twenty, then you have no heart, but if you're not a capitalist by forty, you have no brain.

When I left school, I was full of ideas, ways that I thought if people would listen, we could just make peoples lives that little better. Now, more than a couple of years later, I've finally come to a conclusion. I'm no longer a socialist, definitely not a libertarian, in fact I think the best way to describe what five years of study, and life have turned me into, is an anti human "ist". I am not a racist, not a sexist, and not even really an elitist. In order to be one of these things, I would have to have found a group of people within society that I agree and identify with.

The reality is, and this is a hard thing for me in particular to admit, I think I hate humans in general. With one or two very important exceptions, very single person I meet on the street, and every dribbly I see when I turn on my T.V is a card carrying, A grade, board certified, munter. It seems that the world has been conquered by some brain sucking aliens, who not only have removed the ability of people to question their surroundings, but also to be even slightly interesting (a fate which by this stage you may believe also to have befallen me).

The media is dominated by a combination of unreal "reality" shows, and sensationalist bullshit, designed only with the purpose of holding our attention long enough for advertisers to sneak into our houses and steal all our money, and turn our kids into zombies. It's not surprising that more people don't notice. After all, it's easier just to nod and smile, and much, much easier to generate pseudo moral outrage on cue when some "moral" authority tells you to than to actually think about things.

Yes, this makes me an arrogant fucker.

Ehhhh, what you gonna do?
