This is a question Protest!

Sit-ins. Walk-outs. Smashing up the headquarters of a major political party. Chaining yourself to the railings outside your local sweet shop because they changed Marathons to Snickers. How have you stuck it to The Man?

I do all those things.
But they won't make the world a better place. Like I said, I do it to make my day to day existance a better place.

And thinking about it, that's probably what led me to the beliefs I hold. I know how little effort it takes to hold a door open for someone, to give up your seat to an old person on the bus and to smile at strangers. That's why I do it. What's the point in being an unpleasant twat for no reason? It's the fact I see so many people NOT doing those things that makes me hate them. And I work in the middle of Manchester, so I see things like that many, many times a day, every day. It sounds small and petty but you just get kind of sick of it after a while. If someone won't even hold a door open for you after they have walked through it, then why would they give a shit about anybody else on a larger scale, when they seem incapable of even the smallest acts of kindness? I just hate the species as a whole to be honest. When we're not too busy patting ourselves on the back for what amounts to an incredibly mediocre or worse existance for about 99% of the population, we're too busy killing each other in a variety of unpleasant ways.

It's like I said, more people voted for the winner of the X Factor than protested the war in Iraq. People just don't fucking care, so I just don't fucking care about people. And that makes me as bad as them I suppose.
