On the subway today, I was surrounded by people wearing blue jeans. Everyone, all wearing blue fucking jeans. 40 out of 45 people in my train.
In this time where people are getting more conservative, they’re reverting to fucking cowboys, to ''working man’s clothes'', as Bruce Springsteen would put it. Except in the 70s, it was the Left who was doing it, now it seems it’s the Right.
There’s something inherently wrong in conformism, in homogenizing Society, in becoming all the same, in the lack of bright colours and the lack of black.
The Right keep ''warning'' us about Socialism, the Great Evil that would mean a totalitarian state, but it’s them who want to increase security at all costs, and send everyone to fucking jail to keep an even better eye on them, most of whom would be inside for petty crimes like smoking weed while the politicians and priests stay on the outside, passing law after law to put more people in prisons while they, themselves, commit the most important, grave crimes: raping kids, razing the lands of their resources, creating bankruptcies and starving the poor, starting wars for no reason, and helping their banker buddies and Big Company friends get richer beyond what’s reasonable for no fucking reason.
After all, what good is having a million billion dollars once you’ve purchased everything? There’s nothing left to buy, and you still have leftover money; it just doesn’t work. It means nothing.
Just like blue fucking jeans.
