Come on... Happy New Years everyone! How monumental is it really!? Literally, we've gone around the sun once. But even that is a trivial matter to celebrate. Really all we're getting excited about is remembering to put down a different number signifying the year AD. But that's just it, the number doesn't measure human existence, but the age of Christianity. We realize just how eurocentric we have gotten to be on a worldwide scale. We are blind, and most fortunate, for we have inherited the world, and think nothing of it. Our underclass isn't the kids who dropout of school with no training, we've given the shittiest jobs with the shittiest wages to the most destitute people half-way across the world, a literal "race to the bottom." What about our blue-collar worker? Is skilled labour on the wane? Why will thousands of Oshawa's autoworkers be losing their jobs to Mexicans? Like our neighbours down in Flynt. I guess this has turned out to be a rant about globalization. Naturally so; globalization is the neo-colonial push for America to permanently implant capitalism ideology planetwide, for them to profit largely, while it serves as their justification. Stop americanism, support individualism.
