Discourse 3/3

The New Activism
We are not cool
Cool used to mean "unique" until marketers grabbed a hold of it and reversed its meaning
Growing band of people who have given up on the American dream.
We do all the right things with the environment. But still in decline.
Instead of resisting this kind of fundamental change, lets embrace it.
Unmistakable stamp of america. Hair by Paul Mtchell. Khakis by the gap. Car by BMW. attitude by Nike.
Its cool to rebel but alot of people are bsing it
We think we're buying anarchy when we are actaully just buying corporate crafted conformity.

This was a great read. I felt right at home at agreed with everything that was said. The pictures that I choose go hand in hand with this read. People these days are obsessed with fitting in and being part of a crowd where they let it cloud what actually is going on. The new image of cool is about being a rebel but its all marketed. We fall for these false pretenses and don't do anything about it. Back in the day is when things got done now a days its about social networking sites and talking the talk but not walking the walk. We talk about change that we want to happen but nothing gets done. Dressing fancy and having gelled hair and being a pretty person is what is in now. There is no more unique its all a blur. Its all fake and something needs to change.

Rage
rage drives revolutions.
when it springs from from personal frustration.
It get shits fixed.
Complicit to whats going on around you.
psycho rage spikes when you realize you're trapped in a carnival of staged event.
Why are we so docile and obedient.
Once in a while rage comes up and and you feel like there needs to be a change but the moment will pass and you'll be in the same.

This was also a great read. Us humans tend to not embrace change. We like routine and are content with the way things are. If something is bothering you chances are it will be like that for a while till you do something about it. We let this rage build inside us and do nothing about it.











Routine keeps us from evolving and being actual people. Nothing will get done if you sit in front of screens for hours on end. You may think about changing the oil in the car or calling the plumber but ehh whatever you can always do it later. Break routine change some stuff and the revolution that needs to occur will eventually come.
