GREATNESS ITSELF IS THE BEST REVENGE

The man, the myth, the legend.

   I was sitting here trying to masturbate but it was just not fucking working for some reason so I guess ill "blog" instead. Here we go!

    Ok seriously fucking people shut up about how twitter and facebook and all this bullshit has caused the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt. I mean dont get me wrong im usually totally in support of unsubstantiated declarations about technology and its socio-cultural implications but this is just stupid. Obviously years of authoritarian quasi-dictatorship, sham elections, social injustice, unemployment, cultural marginalization, and hamfisted economic wrangling (amongst other things) had nothing to do with this social unrest. Yeah, you are right guys, its pretty much just, like, you know, twitter or something. What was happening again? I dont know, im blazed, who cares. Anyway . . .

    Also all of this bullshit about the muslim brotherhood taking over so "oh god we cant let Egyptians have democracy!". Jesus christ, its like im not actually living in America sometimes.Let me take this moment to invite these people to leave my fucking country! The fact that these fear mongering mouthbreathers are actually making arguments against democratically elected administrations only underlines the absolutely toxic pessimism that exists towards our own "values" these days. If these people actually had faith in the democratic process or modernization or free markets or any of this other shit they espouse they would never be making arguments against democratic revolutions. You want to really fuck up islamic fundamentalists? Try doing everything possible to make america what it was supposed to be, the shining city on the hill! (LOOK OUT! IM REGANING!) Lead by example! Greatness itself is the best revenge! When the founding fathers set about to create this utopian fantasy land we are living in it was imagined not that others would come here to experience what was good about america, they imagined instead that other peoples of the world would look to us, look to what was good in america, and seek to emulate it in their own societies (Jeffersons reactions to the french revolution are instructive here). They hoped other nations would think globally and act locally if you will. If the first world (socially liberal democracies) are no longer the role model for marginalized peoples of the world its our own fucking fault. I would contend we, with these kind of pessimistic, xenophobic, colonial attitudes are helping the fundamentalists. I cant even believe people are saying this type of crap "Oh the arab people are not ready for democracy they will only elect to be ruled by backward fundamentalists".This is the worst kind of mystification. So fucking disgusting. What a horrible cynicism. The way to socially progressive leaders and open societies in the middle east is not through "the lesser of two evils" authoritarian regimes or more saudi arabias. As disheartening as it is to see the united states speaking with a forked tongue so often, as disheartening as it is to see political figures and talking heads shooting down the notions of equality and liberty I know full well that as these countries modernize, slowly and surly what will follow is socially liberal democratic governments. The people of Iran, Tunisia, Egypt, they are clamoring, searching everywhere for a way to break the strangle hold of despotic power structures. We can hope they do not choose fundamentalists regimes but we have only ourselves to blame if they do.

   Also though, if any of these fuckers start fucking up (anymore) the national museum where they keep all the little king tuts and shit im going to withdraw all my support for them and call for firebombings on the poorest suburbs because fuck you, you can revolt and not be a fucking barbarian about it you know? 

In this movie im watching Vincent Price is getting murdered with an axe, hmmm . . .OH GOD ELVIRA IS PLAYING SARAH PALIN! LATE NIGHT TV WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
