About Me

A hairy London kid trying to DJ and write and make sense of every senseless thing...
"Patriotism in its simplest, clearest, and most indubitable meaning is nothing but an instrument for the attainment of the government's ambitious and mercenary aims, and a renunciation of human dignity, common sense, and conscience by the governed, and a slavish submission to those who hold power. That is what is really preached wherever patriotism is championed. Patriotism is slavery." -- Leo Tolstoy

Indeed:
They who believe in anarchy, believe in negation of government;
They who believe in negation of government, believe in affirmation of the people;
They who believe in affirmation of the people, believe in individual liberty;
They who believe in individual liberty, believe in the sovereignty of each;
They who believe in sovereignty of each, believe in equality;
They who believe in equality, believe in solidarity or fraternity;
They who believe in fraternity, believe in social order;
By contrast:
They who believe in government, believe in negation of the people;
They who believe in negation of the people, believe in affirmation of political authority;
They who believe in affirmation of political authority, believe in individual dependency;
They who believe in individual dependency, believe in class supremacy;
They who believe in class supremacy, believe in inequality;
They who believe in inequality, believe in antagonism;
They who believe in antagonism, believe in civil war;
From which it follows that they who believes in government, believes in civil war.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

people who don't do as they're told. people who are happy to be old. people who are loved. people who have loved. people who need. people who feed. people who stand up for their belief. people who aren't afraid to lose a few teeth. people willing to rise each time they fall. people who know they don't know it all. people who can see through the lies. people willing to see with new eyes. people willing to take to the street. these are the people I'd like to meet.

"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervour, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights to the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done...
And I am Caesar."
--Julius Caesar

Maybe Friedman got it wrong?

What pissed me off more even than bankers recklessly gambling away everyone's money, was the reaction of most journalists. Why the wholesale acceptance of a bank bailout as the only method of revivin...
