in regards to the ucla tasering -

i don't understand how any person that claims to be against what happened at ucla can continue to fiscally support a system that guards the corrupt and finances the wicked. if i were a ucla student, i would do everything in my power to switch schools immediately, to even switch countries immediately, because as much as we complain about what is going on we still fall into the daily routine of supporting the government that is letting these things happen. by overly paying for education in the states (canada's school system costs roughly half that of a typical university, even if you're not from canada) , we pretty much give schools all the power they need to do whatever the hell they want.

but but but
but i need to get my degree so i can graduate and become a doctor or a lawyer or a fireman! don't you think that's silly too, that you need a degree to be a fireman? there's something strange about education costs, and it's quite saddening to think about how few people can actually afford university. yes, we can yap on about how hard work can get anyone anywhere but can you actually say that when our social classes have been more separated than ever? it's fucked! it's bullshit!

tasering is ridiculous in the first place. what other wealthy nation tasers a student for sitting in a library? oceania does, and it's scary to draw similarities between the two nations. america is at war with terror, for chrissakes. i don't even think george orwell would've thought that we'd be at war with such a ridiculous enemy. our nation is the only one that actually wants its citizens to SUPPORT the war. i watched this news report in montreal about two canadian soldiers that died, and they went on about it during the entire program (one hour). that doesn't happen here, we sort of spend a few minutes on it and move on. life doesn't feel precious here anymore, it's disheartening, so disheartening. there are people here that die because they can't afford healthcare, there are people that sign up to die because they can't afford to do anything else. you're so scary america, i love you so much, your people have done such amazing things, created such amazing art, composed such soulful music, embraced love wholeheartedly, plastering it on the big screen, in novels, in every day life, i love what you want to accomplish but i don't understand why you have to make so many people cry

it's sickening, you know that? the government doesn't care what we think about the tasering, as long as we're not doing anything about it. speech is so harmless when nothing goes into effect. i can't support a system that allows an innocent kid to be tortured and scrutinized any longer. america's inevitable downfall is coming and it's sad to see that everyone in the world seems to know it but us. it's like a cartoon down here.

but the american spirit is strong, and i believe in it truly, absolutely. but we talk from the inner party from the outer party, living good lives and eating good food. the proles are doomed, can't you see that? only a select few can ever escape the doldrums that forever plague the undeserving. it breaks my heart to see so many people cheer for america, to blindly follow america without truly understanding why america is so great. please please please we must open everyone's eyes, everyone, not just us ridiculous students, us rich suburbanites, us californian disneyland partiers , we can't go on complaining and not letting the vast majority know what's really going on. it will take power in numbers, and we must start informing the numbers that matter.

and let's not do it in a depressing anarchistic way. we don't need to separate ourselves from the world, we must unite together, millions of conflicting opinions but still one united. we are human beings, we are people, we are americans, we can't go on living as robots anymore, can't you all see that? i wept for america that night in montreal, and i will continue weeping until our nation puts its arms around its children and lets us know that everything will truly be alright
