Real Change is an
evil thing, maybe not
objectively, but at least within this
technicolor Stim-lab that Western culture has become.
This is because change "
for the better" almost always encompasses
self-sacrifice, something almost NOBODY is into anymore. Check out the stats that would normally, if we were
inclined, point the Western
Typical Guy in the direction of Real Change:
1. We all know that most
TV is bad for you. It reduces your brain activity to that of a
sleeping person, and
desensitizes you to all sorts of
horror. We all know this, and we all know it's bad for
kids. How many
21st-Century digital parents are going to smash their TV and watch those kids themselves?
Yeah, I think you know.
2. We all also know damn well that
fast food is a good way to
look like shit and
die young. See any large-scale
boycotts of
Burger King in the near future? How about people refusing to take
kids to a
restaurant that doesn't serve
healthy food, like
a friggin' apple? Yeah, I don't think so either.
3.
Forty hours a week sitting on your ass in an office will
make you miserable and
kill you quickly. I know; I do it too. And even though its not really "our
fault" that we have to sit in that damn
office or
starve to death; still, how many of us make up for it by
working out--or, rather, how many of us go home and
watch TV?
4. We've known about the
Ozone layer and
air pollution for more than a decade. And the Big Three are still making
gasoline cars--and, even more
idiotic,
We're still buying them.
Just a few
examples of how Nothing Changes when Nothing Stays The Same.
