WE ARE SUBDIVIDED, ALIENATED, CONFORM OR BE CAST OUT !!
Cool quote: "We have sat quietly and suffered the violence of the system for too long. We are being attacked daily. Violence does not only exist in the army, the police and the prisons. It exists in the shoddy alienating culture pushed out by TV films and magazines, it exists in the ugly sterility of urban life. It exists in the daily exploitation of our Labour, which gives big Bosses the power to control our lives and run the system for their own ends"
And that quote is right indeed. Violence doesnt only exist in physical violence. but also in the ugly environment we live in. Most local governments only invest in the urban architecture and environments of rich people, but the lower classes environments are so alienating, so ugly, so depressing, that it alienates the indiviual, depresses citizens, depresses poor people. And a depressed society is the goal of the upper-ruling classes.
Tell me, i am not rich, i have to live in a middle-lower class neighborhood, and i have to walk every day for 50 minutes to 1 hour because i suffer from slow metabolism, low thyroid, and i cannot be indoors all day sitting at a damned computer, or damned TV, because then i would get fat, gain weight, and depressed, so walking for me is a necessity. but the sidewalks, and environment where I walk are so ugly that i feel alienated completely and with lack of life.
Here is a song by Rush (The rock band) which talks about capitalist alienation, predeterminism in most capitalist societies:
Subdivisions by RUSH
Sprawling on the fringes of the city
In geometric order
An insulated border
In between the bright lights
And the far unlit unknown
Growing up it all seems so one-sided
Opinions all provided
The future pre-decided
Detached and subdivided
In the mass production zone
Nowhere is the dreamer
Or the misfit so alone
Subdivisions ---
In the high school halls
In the shopping malls
Conform or be cast out
Subdivisions ---
In the basement bars
In the backs of cars
Be cool or be cast out
Any escape might help to smooth
The unattractive truth
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
The restless dreams of youth
Drawn like moths we drift into the city
The timeless old attraction
Cruising for the action
Lit up like a firefly
Just to feel the living night
Some will sell their dreams for small desires
Or lose the race to rats
Get caught in ticking traps
And start to dream of somewhere
To relax their restless flight
Somewhere out of a memory
Of lighted streets on quiet nights...
