Subliminal's blog: "Subliminal Lies"

There is no point in arguing or battling politics anymore. It's bloody pointless. Both Major Parties are owned and operated by the corporations that they serve like gleeful slaves. Like House-Elves, if you want a good pop-culture reference. And the corporations are too big, too big to fail. They cannot be toppled, even with napalm.

We are all slaves to General Motors, Ford, Toyota, Wal-Mart, Lilly Pharmaceuticals. We are owned and operated by Coke and Pepsi, Microsoft, Apple, Kellogg and Quaker. We are owned by UMG (Universal Music Group), Paramount Motion Pictures and Pixar. We are owned by Juan Valdez and Starfucks. We are owned by the greed of churches. We are owned by Remington and Smith & Wesson. Dow Chemical and Marlboro cigarettes. We are owned by Budweiser and Jack Daniels. Sara Lee and Pizza Hut. We are owned by McDonald's and KFC. We are owned by Kroger and Trader Joe's. Enslaved to Exxon and Shell and Haliburton.

The american dream is aptly named, because you have to be asleep to fucking believe it....

We have sold our souls and any concept of individuality to capitalism and power. The government and the corporations, standing together as one foe to the common person. We have been snowballed into believing we may, one day, perhaps get our piece of the pie. United they stand, and they will not fall. They will for always rule us under their thumb, hold us in their iron grip and smirk down at us as we enjoy every moment. They will tell us what to buy and what to believe, how to act and how to view the world.

The only answer, to topple the system now (Outside of maybe carpet bombing major cities), is suicide. A few million people kill themselves in protest and it will cut into those profit margins right fucking quick. The only way to beat the system is to leave this mortal coil, until they are broke and penniless. Paupers on Wall Street and Pennsylvania Avenue. Panhandling to the masses that are no longer there. All they want is money.

Money, that's what I want

Your money. By the fistful.

So what can we do realistically? Quit buying things? Haha. They have got us by the short and curlies. By the balls, son. We'll be tempted. It's (They're) all around us with flashing neon signs. BUY MORE! BUY MORE! BUY MORE! useless shit you don't even want or could possibly need. It's there and we as a people are weak and we are lazy. They have helped make us that way, to eat from the palm of their fucking hands. We didn't know it was happening, I don't think, and now it's too late. We have been beaten into submission.

We the People are... slaves and have been for a century. Slowly but surely they have bought us all. And they're making ready to sell us to the highest bidder.

We could never bring ourselves to quit sucking at their tit, not long enough to actually take a breath and walk away from it. The cities have spread out so far that the only means of transportation is cars... Cars and Oil. There's not enough land anymore to grow our own food to eat, our own crops to clothe ourselves, and we've grown so lazy (and apathetic) we couldn't do what it takes to get that in order. We could not grow and harvest our own food unless it's on a fucking computer, and we sure as shit could never begin to fathom how to weave linen to make our coverings, and there aren't enough wild animals left on the planet to kill to make leather coverings.

We the people are... fucked. Destined to die in their back pocket inside their fat fucking wallet, serving them for our entire lives. From the moment we are born and our parents strap us into Huggies to the day we're laying in the hospital dressed in Depends, breathing our last rattled breath. Logos and brand names are all we concern ourselves with.

We the people are owned like so many cattle being lead to the slaughter.
