Use the Rage!

[Ken Burch]

There's energy in the anger people are feeling. We need to channel it and use it to build the anti-corporate resistance.

Let's find the ways to take this feeling of betrayal and disgust and make it into a positive force for change.

I think there's a way we can use this to reverse this week's treachery. It won't be easy, but we need to find the way.

That's the only chance there is of getting anything good out of this defeat.

1. First you have to stop voting for corporate capitulators.

2. "anger is an energy"

3. Well, using it is the first step to mobilizing resistance

In using it, you turn it to something else.

And the energy of the 70's punks, which started as nihilism, led to great political mobilization for progressive values in many places.

4. punk energy

has been used for good and for bad.

needless to say racist skinheads were bad. libertarian and other punks were good.

i feel much more affinity to the punk culture, than to the hippy culture, and the latter was partly a response to the former, as well as a response to overprocessed, overly orchestrated music.
straight edge punks are also kewl (no alcohol or drugs)


bono of all people actually expressed the ultimate punk philosophy imo : "all you need are three chords, a guitar, and the truth"
