Hmm that sums up how I feel about this pretty well.

Indeed. Reminds me of the old saying that one mans terrorist is another’s freedom fighter.

maxistentialist:perhapsamongthestars:I read this in Adbusters magazine tonight while I was browsing a book store - it makes you wonder what exactly it is that our society values.
My “Plastic Spoon” print was in last month’s AdBusters. Thanks to Ellen Lee and AdBusters for being awesome.
EDIT: Also this is on the front page of Reddit?

"Our society values alert problem solving consciousness and it devalues all other states of consciousness. Any kind of consciousness that is not related to the production or consumption of material goods is stigmatized in our society today. Of course we accept drunkenness we allow people some brief rest-bite from the material grinds. A society that subscribes to that model is a society that is going to condemn states of consciousness that has nothing to do with the alert problem solving mentality."

You have to pay your taxes next week, and General Electric doesn’t. That’s right: GE, America’s largest corporation, employs 975 people just to work on their taxes, which, it turns out, is a really great way to handle your taxes! …GE paid no taxes paid no taxes on $14 billion in profit. Why aren’t people mad at them?
If I had to pick a phrase that encapsulates the American economy in the last decade, it surely would be ‘I’ve already got your money, dude.’ There’s a law now forbidding credit card companies from screwing you with fine print and sudden, unjustified rate hikes — to which the credit card company said, ‘I already got your money, dude.’ Or maybe you lost your job in a recession caused by already-rich people who bundled horseshit loans and then took ‘too-big-to-fail’ pity money from Uncle Sam. (Shrugs.) ‘I already got your money dude.’
Americans need to have a (Charlie Sheen show in) Detroit moment where they realize they’re pooling their money and wasting it on the richest guy in the room. The richest one percent hoard an obscene amount of the wealth while the average American has to save up to eat at Red Lobster on his birthday.
Wake up. Because somehow, they’re banging the porn stars, and you’re getting the crabs.
