Again I say, whatever validity that perspective has to bring to the table is damaged by the hate and vitriol that drives them. Emotions are legit, strong emotions are legit, but this externalized boogeyman who takes precedence over all or most forms of the self awareness about the qualities of one's own actions big and small, NONE of which matters because BO ___________________ (whatever).
I'm struggling with this, as you may have noticed, I WANT to credit at least some of the values expressed by that perspective, but I CAN'T and somehow emo progs take that as a badge of honor.
Fuck 'em, Chris Hedges and Glenn Greenwald have turned into Ralph Nader II & III and that makes me suspect a level of self righteousness that is driven by the vindictive hope that anyone who disagrees suffers and yes, even dies, if "necessary", to establish their exclusive and rather selective versions of the truth.
If I'm wrong about this, I'd like someone to SHOW me differently. They could defend themselves by proving that they aren't as hateful and fascistic and biased as they appear to be, but I don't expect that to happen because it doesn't really matter to emo progs if you would like to agree with them, but have problems with ________________, no one matters except those who do agree with them and THAT's Fascism.
Still struggling here . . .
