bbc has been broadcasting all evening/night/morning about the removal by military police of peaceful protesters. in all that time, reporting constantly about how many people are standing where and who's doing what, clutching at any straw of drama, they did not address the reason for the protest, or even the counter argument against it. literally all they have said is the protest is "anti capitalist". all the rest, hours and hours of footage and description of basically not much else happening apart from a peaceful demo being broken up by force is an attempt in the short term of some hollywood-style news action, followed by the realization by everyone that The Man is getting an even tighter grip on us all and boring us into submission by the over-reporting yet total lack of reasoning. and the bbc is supposed to be good. their classic phrase, "correspondents say that x happened or y is going to etc" basically means someone in the news room reckons this coz we don't know what's happening either. lock up your daughters! !

news reports are basically a satire of their former selves now (mostly), it's like watching a chris morris sketch sometimes. no depth left.

they focus on what 'we' want and give it to us. they decide what 'we' want according to research taken from 'us the peoples''' they know us. they give it to 'us'. its what we 'wanted"
-if we didnt want this it wouldnt be happening right now. but also nobody knows whats happening so it happens anyway

...and the whole, "technological advancement" that it drives, that allows you things like Xltronic and electronic music itself.

Good evening, I think we've been here before...
There's not much I can do about technological advancement, but if you ask me, technology isn't inherently capitalist either, the internet is proving that much.
Personally, fully opting out isn't viable, well, unless I bought myself a ticket to one of those survival courses by Ray Mears or such, but then I'd be a hypocrite wouldn't I? Nevermind, I wouldn't do that anyway, considered it long ago, much better to engage and create alternatives (however short lived) within, than to run away. There are levels of opting out after all - 'every little helps' ay :D

Good Evening, to you too. Fair play to you Torture Garden, I may not always agree with you, but it is nice to argue with someone who can do so civilly. :)
Ironically, given my capitalist views, I am better placed than most to opt-out, as I am fascinated with survivalism and have practiced outdoorsmanship from a young age. Like you, I think that there are better alternatives than that. I just do it because I like to know I can and that I've done all I reasonably can to increase my odds if I am thrown into a situation where it becomes necessary.

"so you must be xlt's resident EDL campaigner :D"
Hehe, you falsely accuse me of being part of a violent and thuggish protest group, perhaps as a joke but I suspect that you are simply a teenager who holds passionate yet irrational and untruthful views on various matters.
