but before we spark it up, please let me try to find out what I can, it might take a day or two. Through another source who is into youth politics, I'm becoming somewhat aware of what's going on here. <br><br>This whole thing has really disturbed me, and I think it leads to something very dark, something that Jeff has focused on in his posts, but it's like we're all feeling around the edges of this thing, in a dark room, not really able to make out what it is. I believe this thread represents a major piece of the puzzle. Self-victimization. Unconscious [?] perpetuation. <br>What's the scientific term for something consuming itself? I, too, was horrified, suspicious, and angered at the producers by the presentation of the video.<br><br>But apparently, the young woman 'Moonshine', is a real person. Obviously, she is <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>deeply</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> troubled. I don't know her full background yet, or whether she's being subconsciously manipulated by some outside forces or not, (which seems possible I know), but what I do know that she is a real 20-something new-left-counter-culture type, and known in those circles. <br><br>Although it may be hard for us to understand, I think until now she may not have realized that she <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>is</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> [seen as] an <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>exploitative</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>pornographer</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->. And a bad one, at that.<br><br>See, this capitalist system <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>eats it's young</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->. Sure, we've known it from the past, we realize it's happening now, but somehow it's hard for us to grasp how massive the insanity is these days. So let's not knee-jerk glorify the youth as some bastion of revolutionary consciousness. In fact, I'm starting to think they may be one of the most bad-meme infected segments of our society, yeah, at this point worse than the boomers. Oh I should say, they're the fault of the boomers, really. They're your kids, and you have no idea how much the ramifications of "postmodernist" thought, of the CIA-sponsored anarchist movement, of the popular "freedom = absence-of-restraint" meme, of the "sexual revolution", etc. has effected them. In the context of the capitalist system, these effects are sure to be negative. Maybe we should say "don't trust anyone <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>under</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> 30". <br><br>Remember when people were like, "when I was in high school there were fights, but people used their fists, or maybe brass-knuckles" then later people were like "don't fight, you'll get shot these days, there's metal detectors in the elementary school"? It's true. Things change <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>radically</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> for the worse the longer we dawdle. <br><br>What I'm trying to say is that the rational, reasonable responses and expectations typified by this thread run smack up against a <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>generation gap</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->, these kids actually live like this, breathe this, they've embraced the dark side, and they think it's light, they've been taught to fetishize their suffering, pick at their scabs, and wear they're "specialness" like a boy scout badge of honor, and as you see actually end up perpetuating the very abuse they suffered, the vainglorious narcissus, capitalist culture of rehab and recovery that wallows in war stories, titillation, and shock value (sound familiar, anyone?). <br><br>Not only do we have not a clue how fucked-up these kids are value-wise, sexually, without roots, without history, but they are pretty clueless about how permanently they're damaging themselves, and like all youth, it's hard to get them to se when they're being led on. <br><br>They also have no concept of conventional social mores, and revel in rejecting them, yet they are genuinely shocked when they get dismissed and marginalized, a marginalization that they'd imposed on themselves quite proudly up to then. <br><br>So here comes your next generation of filthy hippie communes, child neglect, "free love" sexual power-tripping, hard drugs, and of course most likely they'll end up like their predecessors, useless 50-something burnt-out "crustys", except this time they won't know a balance sheet from a triple beam, so I guess as much as it pains me to say it, in that instance, Moonshine's doing "better" than the rest of the crowd by "getting paid". What's even scarier is that as opposed to the hippies, these kids actually have a much more sophisticated half-baked warped philosophy behind them this time. And they are driven by an arrogant anarcho-DIY-self-righteousness that rejects basic human values, wisdom, honor, discipline, and good tradition. Permanently scarred, mentally marred. They don't only care about making cannon-fodder, this is a counter-revolutionary cointelpro directed at the youth. <br><br>See, what this deeply traumatized, verging-on-permanently insane young women really needs is a fucking intervention!! And what makes me so fucking mad and sick to my stomach is she won't ever get it from her friends or her scene. She needs to reject the scene she's in 100%, but it's probably all she's had for years, and all she's known, and it probably "saved" her in her mind from a worse fate. Without the clean break, she's fucked. I've seen it before with these vegan-anarchist kids, they'd crawl over the bodies of their dead friends, get their dinner from dumpsters, even when they were at one point capable of working, and organizing in the workplace, justifying mind games, pedophilia-power-sex-rape, you name it. Anything but what's right. Just don't break up their consensus of shit. <br><br>Truly frightening. Pray for the youth, and the poor little girls and boys being "turned out" right now. <br> <br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>I love to see my people living in love<br>I hate to see them fighting and swimming in blood<br>Nuff neglect the farming, the scorn in the mud<br>Yet they want to be the first to reap the fruit as it buds<br>Oh, they fill the earth with prison, church, and whore house<br>Love the rum bar, yet they hate the pure house<br>Dem take the microchip and override the poor out<br>Less food, more shout and more mouth<br><br>Take master spit inna dem face take back dem teet and smile<br>Da bounce of the nile so mile and so fertile acres more than ah zillion mile<br><br>People acting vile pick up cannibal style<br>wan devour mama, papa, and child, oh<br><br>Politician ah talk certain tings dem nah mention<br>Sey ah drugs and gun people tax money spend pon<br><br>Come wit plastic smile and dem wicked intention<br>Inna ya hand, is where dem put dem evil invention<br><br>Turn gun model seeking attention<br>See it deh now ya dead and it is no redemption<br><br>Parents ah wonder where to get the first cent from<br>To bury the dirt dem not even got pension<br><hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br> <p></p><i></i>
