Reference :- Millions and millions of protestors are taking to the streets to air their various grievances . Is it because of the sudden depletion of " the weapons of mass ....distraction " ?
What with the sports all cancelled , no cinemas, no casinos or poker machines , no racing of various quadrupeds , no overpriced gala weddings , no boozy pub nights and so on , people have few distractions these days . And no longer restrained by weapons of mass distraction , people are starting to notice all the injustice and greed which has been blooming in the fields of what we grandiosely describe as the developed world . Here at Kooralya we haven't witnessed so many demonstrations since the time we were visited by an overly enthusiastic door to door vacuum cleaner salesman .
But it is heart warming to see how many folk think that the whole western capitalist system is rotten to it's heart , now that they have the time to voice their objections .
Obviously the elite running the show can't wait to end the lockdowns , so everybody will shut up and re-immerse themselves in that glittering electronic hallucination marketed to us as a desirable lifestyle. . A lifestyle that most folk , and the world's ecology , cannot actually afford .
Anyway , here at Kooralya we are at least buoyed by the many displays of humanity and solidarity revealed by the demonstrators. .
If they were selling vacuum cleaners , we would all have bought a couple each by now.
Your comrade , Ken
