Hakiri

I like when people come up with crazy shit like this one.

My answer is simple: people don’t vote because they have other things to worry about and voting is the least thing on their heads. Although, I support the idea that everyone should vote, I do not think that ads like this one have any effect whatsoever. I like them, but no effect. You should start by telling people how voting will pay their bills and fix their problems. You cannot call for higher values when most people struggle to pay the rent.

I still like the ad although I find it completely useless and not very motivational. Don’t waste resources!

We live in a monoculture. What does that mean? Well, go out to your street corner. You’ll probably see a Long Pig stand, SPKF on a screen somewhere, an Angry Boy Dylan’s Gun Store. You’ll go into a record store and see new recordings by the usual suspects, maybe a special Space Culture display rack.

Go out onto a streetcorner in London and you’ll see the same thing. Same in Prague. Same in Sao Paulo. Same in Osaka, and Grozny, and Tehran, and Jo’burg, and Hobart. That’s what a monoculture is. It’s everywhere, and it’s all the same. And it takes up alien cultures and digests them and shits them out in a homogeneous building-block shape that fits seamlessly into the vast blank wall of the monoculture.

This is the future. This is what we built. This is what we wanted. It must have been. Because we all had a fucking choice, didn’t we? It is only our money that allows commercial culture to flower. If we didn’t want to live like this, we could have changed it any time, by not fucking paying for it.

So let’s celebrate by all going out and buying the same burger.
