Flavour du jour is anger with a side order of tinfoil hats, everyone loves tinfoil hats because you can also cook sausages with them in a camp fire once the danger has passed (if it ever truly passes, what with brain scanning satellites and commie UAV's spying on you). The best part about unfettered anger is you don't need to wield any kind of intelligence in order to show everyone just how angry you are, just a marker pen or some poster paints stolen from a neighbourhood child.

Here're a small collection of angry people who don't have time to punctuate their anger with such trivial things as punctuation or even a passing nod to a dictionary, because god'damn they have to vent this anger in the most passive aggressive manner possible before the buildup of righteous pressure blows their arses off, the only good thing that can come from an exploding arse is that it achieves escape velocity and impacts an NSA brain scanning satellite.

There was a sikh guy in the news who really wants to join the BNP, some say he's not a proper sikh because he shaves and only wears a turban for promo shoots, but he's brown and that's all the lazy hack journo's are interested in, he wants to join the BNP because he doesn't like muslims, so i guess he's moving into a familiar circle of people even if most of them won't talk to him because he's not white. Music doesn't make the world go round, hatred does, sikh guy doesn't like muslims, muslims don't like christians, christians don't like anyone or anything (including other christians (especially other christians)), no-one seems to like the jews, the chinese don't like the nepalese, most towns and villages don't like the town or village in the next valley, rednecks don't like anything that isn't bud light, republicans still explosively poo themselves at the very thought of socialism (even if it was once the cornerstone of the republican party manifesto), bright copper kettles and parcels tied up with string just don't cut it any more and everyone hates the bankers.

I'll admit to having a short fuse and fairly sweary vocabulary, but at least i don't

a) bottle it up deep down inside and release it at inopportune moments while drunk, or
b) make poorly worded placards in order to express the depths of my bigotry in public places, or
c) join extremist political groups and then get manipulated into handing over my cash to already rich people

or join any political groups at all really, the only differences between any of the parties in the uk is

is

um

there are no differences, there might be a difference if the liberals got into power but they won't ever so there's just no point dreaming about it. The libs, along with the greens just gives us someone to vote for who doesn't make us feel dirty inside and require a hot shower on returning home from the polling booth.

Underpinning the global anger is a war on everything fuelled by conspiracies, he's gunna take our guns, they're gonna nuke tel aviv, the jews control the world's banks, global warming is a socialist scam, peak oil will never happen / has already happened but hushed up, the gays are recruiting our kids, teens are too busy worshipping satan and buggering each other to go to sunday school, muslims want to take over the world, GM crops will turn us all into cancerous morlocks, blah blah blah b-b-b-b-blah

blah

It all gets a bit tiring after a while. I'm not saying there's no truth at all to any conspiracies, there's always a minute kernal of truth somewhere, but cutting through the igneous and highly impacted layers of bullshit takes too much energy unless you're also powered by tinfoil paranoia in which case anything you do or publish automatically smells of tinfoil too, catch-22 my fearful friend.

Much easier to dismiss them all as cranks and weirdos based on a scale of shrillness, the shriller their warnings the more likely they live in an area of naturally high lead or tin content or maybe downwind of a monsanto plant, that is until such time as black suited agents appear at your door...

But it's fine, i mean how many people do you know who've received visits from black suited agents, and how many of those agents were gay jews come to take your guns ?
