Welfare Grafitti!



Good work, Malecki, I share your dedication to resist the white male middle
class assholes who populate American suburbs, and whose feeling of male
superiority is created by kicking the butts of those below them on the
social ladder (T. Adorno in his _The Authoritarian Personality_ saw it some
50 years ago).

However, I also believe that no verbal argument in the world is going to
change the ways those assholes think. Long time ago I saw a British film,
about a British journalist beight caught up in the political game between a
leader of the Black resistance group, and the white security police. Of
course, the journalists tries to convinvce everyobody about the virtues of
nonviolence, civility, etc. At the end however, after being beaten up by
the pigs, he ends up in the rebels' camp and witnesses a failed assault of
the security force on the camp, during which the commander of the police
force is captured by the rebels. He does not seem to worry, however, and
explains to the journalist that in a few days he will be on his job again,
because the police will exchange Black prisoners for him. The journalist
smiles at him, tells something like "I would not be so sure" pulls a gun a
blows his brains out. The rebels comment that now he understand the nature
of the their struggle.

Indeed, power stems from the barrel of a gun, as Mao Tse tung aptly
observed. White male suburban trash will not be convinced by the power of
arguments -- but by a good, hearthy kick in their teeths. So I would not
waste my time debating them -- kick them. Hopefully, capitalism will do
that job better than anyone of us can -- but downsizing them. They are
already loosing they white male subsurabn privileges, and that is they are
so apprehensive and think that if they are loyal to their bosses and show
that loyaltly by kicking those below them -- they will be spared.

Bullshit! I personally watch the downsizing with amusement and think of
those scared white suburbanites: that is still nothing -- until you reach
the level of poverty the working class around the world is enduring -- only
then you will be able to understand their plight.
