APEC

Oh fuck off with APEC already. I've had enough. I'm sick of it. I don't give a fucking damn.

I keep forgetting that we still live in a sort-of democracy and that we still sort of have some rights [although watch those walk out the fucking door]. Certainly, that bastion of goodness The Media seems determined that we forget these things. I'm sick of hearing about the ratbags, and rent-a-crowds, and all the scum that are, apparently converging on the city to create mayhem and murder and fuck only knows what - ALL BEFORE ANYTHING HAS ACTUALLY FUCKING HAPPENED. I could kill the hype and kill over the hype and this bullshit makes me want to take to the streets in protest.
Still, you know, since my political views fail to align with those of our overlords and masters and the owners of our lives, society, and country you know that I am scum just waiting for the opportunity to bash cops or some shit - you know what the evil little fucking lefties are like.

I've fucking had enough of this country and the media in this country - have it your way - no disagreement, no discussion, nothing but your way but do it properly. Stop pretending that we have a democracy. Hold a coup and lock those of us who disagree with you up. Take us away. Kill us. Stop us from being, from thinking, from breeding. Eradicate us.

I much prefer honesty.

Call me what you will, but I actually think the situation is pretty good. The people meeting at APEC are, of course, grade A motherfuckers, but we still have a lot of input over what they get up to. Take climate change for example - they're trying to set up something equivalent to the Kyoto protocol, not because they actually want to but because people all over the world are taking the issue seriously now. We really do have influence, at least when we're together on something.

Not that I won't be marching on Saturday. Fuckin' down with the man, man.

I don't mind the meeting, or meetings like it - they have a point and a purpose that I do understand. I also understand the protestors and have nothing against them. I was inarticulately ranting against the media who are pissing me off massively about the whole event [as is Jackboot Johnny]. I do not like the way they have acted or their obvious partiality - they are a continual reminder of what I find wrong with this country.

Sometimes I wanna march just because I can - it means much more than the act itself. Alas, working Saturday.
