Kudos To Time

nothing solidifies a movement like the commercialization & exploitation of its members--- watch them be plastered, nameless & stirring in the moment as if next year will be different--- for this year’s “TIME magazine’s person of the year” is “the protestor”--- and the story plays out with clapping hands from the establishment here in the bosom of world hegemony “america the beautiful” whose talons grip the throats of every uprising to twist & maim before the final gouging of its eyes & the go in for the blood--- how quickly those resisting their tyrants in the middle east will become new peasants servile to the dominant hand of “the land of the free”--- suck their oil! develop their markets! until they walk, talk, look & act like good little americans. on the homefront the occupiers of streets across the nation now go into hiding when the cold winter blows reportedly gearing up their strategies for a lively spring & summer of our own--- TIME does its job putting an anonymous member on the cover in order to show a passing fad, as if to say “we are with you” (that is, until next year when something else, new & fresh replaces you)--- with featured articles speaking of anonymous as if they too, will go away by next year so that the whole need to resist, to upturn & to change the status quo here in the empire, will be commodified & sold to kids like the next version of xbox. kudos to TIME for selling their magazine like good little do-what-they’re-told capitalists, but such an attempt will not suffocate the voices of those who can no longer rest & such an attempt will not put out the fire.
