Life is one big remix.
the more things change.. the more they stay the same?
I mean the details and specifics and the technology wil change. But the social structures humans have built and the norms these structures create, as well as the identities that are formed based on these norms or narratives mean, for the most part history will continue to repeat it self.Life is one big remix.
German dudes ruled in '68 and now they do it again (me) in '06... history is a muthafucka.
my throat hurts, its hard to swallow, and my body feels like i got a serious ass beating.

I agree with the basic premise but this view creates apathy as people then start to believe well we have seen it all before and hence dont believe things can get worse. This is a fatal mistake to make it can get a lot worse because unlike the 60's the strangehold the media and the government have is actually tightening. So whilst its true that there have been terrible events happen before things are going to get worse because people are probably more apathetic than ever before and on just a very basic level people dont even read, hence the only information that a lot of people get is from sound bite news assuming they even watch that of course. So when people become so cocooned away from reality i.e. celebrity breakups seem to attract more outcries from the public than mercury in vaccines causing the rate of autism to go from one in 10,000 to 1 in 1000 and ive actually read that figure has actually fallen once again. It creates a situation in which those in power can create absolute bedlam, you may dismiss such notions of things becoming worse but......i have never seen britain or heard of britain being so close to a police state before. After all Walter Wolfgang a serving labour mp, who has served for some 57 years was absolutely shocked when people just ordinary people were telling him how they have been intimidated by the police for simply handing out leaflets about guantanamo bay, from his reaction I don't think he could quite come to terms with it and then he met several other people who shared similar accounts. We are not talking about so called "extreme arab muslims" we are talking about just ordinary white people.
