global movement awakening peoples senses<br><br>Its not against something, its for something.<br><br>this is about what i feel i suppose so i wont presume to burden all of you with it,<br>i have to do more. <br>i have to think and work towards the values i actually want in a society, not just point out the ones i dont<br>i have to think and work towards awakening people i know and meet to the reality that their senses perceive but their brains are warping<br>i have to be cantankerous like an old person who no longer gives a shit what people think of him or her, because it really feels like theres nothing to lose now,<br>no-one is going to get any satisfaction out of saying to people, "i knew this was coming"<br>i mean honestly, most people i know think i'm a bit mad anyway, i might as well go all the way,<br>"wake up people" i'll say, youre government is enslaving you, the corporations are bleeding you.<br><br>this rant i must add, was inspired by this george monbiot piece<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.monbiot.com/archives/2005/08/09/the-new-chauvinism/">www.monbiot.com/archives/...hauvinism/</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>he really writes good sense, and he makes me think about my own framework of understanding which helps me to see alternatives, rather than just thinking about all the madness that pisses me off, and i relate to him and all of you lot, increasingly isolated in a world which seems to be turning the wrong way<br><br>''Out of the bombings a national consensus has emerged: what we need in Britain is a renewed sense of patriotism.
