Fitting that the Supreme Court would overturn “the heart” of the Voting Rights Act on George Orwell’s 110th birthday. Meanwhile our national conversation is hyperfocused on the racially disturbing attitudes of an old white Southern woman with a food TV empire brand that she’s already damaged, as if it matters more than what our own Supreme Court is doing… Meanwhile big brother watches while we list out all our easily data-based likes and dislikes to Facebook so that the big business in bed with big brother can force feed us some more disaster capitalism adjusted to our preferences for what flavor we’d like it fed to us… Meanwhile Chris Brown defends his first amendment rights to be above the law and graffiti his house with ugly stuff that does infringe on the property rights of his neighbors, making a mockery of the principles of free speech…meanwhile a battered woman tattooed on his neck stares out at society blankly…meanwhile I wonder why I bother ranting. Oh that’s right. Racist capitalist patriarchy… while somewhere else Nelson Mandela is dying in a hospital bed…another one of our complicated patriarchal heros…no I’m not depressed or anything 😉
