What we face is what we have become, consumer drones are not worth a damn in facing the police state. You could say that the transfer of power from the people to the chosen few elites is to become a consumer, it is the handing over of citizenship for a few choice toys - selling out.
As consumer drones nobody cares if their rights are infringed upon, as long as you can purchase the next bobble, or sip the next latte, or maintain that consumer status quo however you conceive having "arrived." At this point you have become one with those who control you, you get what you think you want and they have YOU. It is nothing but the old principle of divide and conquer!
FUCK THE WORLD
In the above video all Turbonegro does is play back not only the image of what those in power are in the process of doing, but what has also become the common goal of each individual - in a most visceral and raw manner. . We become bereft of any concern except ourselves, and that makes us very ineffectual for any change.
What many have embraced at this juncture is profit over people, because those who sell you this bit of garbage merely have the bottom line in mind - and screw people. We enhance it by saying screw people and the only thing we care about is ours and our own. You have effectively dismissed the laws of citizenship, and with no citizens massing together there is no collective power - just people admiring their own deceptive self-image in the mirror.
In the meantime you can virtually have a police state without anyone being alarmed, because you have been put under by your own individualistic goals that make you oblivious outside of your own environment. At this point the process has gone on for decades, and the body politic has virtually been neutralized.
The wealth of the nation is concentrated in the hands of the few, people have known this for a long time - in fact, more people were aware of the problem in past years than they are today. Both the government and the corporations work together, they listen to no one but each other - it is a symbiotic relationship with the people left outside of the elite circle.
The people have always had the power to crush the elite class, they have just been deceived into thinking they are free. As the injustices accelerate we need to wake up, the alarm is going off, and it is time for the people as a sleeping giant to shake off these deceptive dreams. The only thing we have to lose is our golden chains, forged by our own individual greed - we need to change from consumers to true citizens before the lights go out and the people are left with nothing.
