If there’s one thing corona has proven, we all love bikes.\u00a0<\/p>
That, and locking people inside by themselves isn’t healthy. Half came out believing corona was a conspiracy by China so they could take over the world. (There’s some crazy Doctor Evil-type thinking right there. What, is Ring-a Ding Ding or whatever the fuck his name is supposed to be stroking a cat when he thinks up this shit?)<\/p>
And the other half sponataneously smashed shit up just for the hell of it.<\/p>
Now I’m not actually against smashing shit up. I just reckon it should be your own shit.\u00a0<\/p>
It’s like when the last bolt won’t came out and now the allen key has rounded it out. It slippped and you skinned your knuckles. Time to fuck some shit up.<\/p>
It’s okay to fuck shit up because you know it’s going to be your shit. There might even be a bit of mental calculus. “What can I afford to replace?”<\/p>
That fucking toolbox. That’s had it coming for years. Can’t find anything in that fucker. And I can tell by the way it looks at me it does it on purpose.<\/p>
Then BAM! Endorphen release. You feel better. And you get a to buy a better toolbox. One that doesn’t hide stuff. One with pockets for everything and a nice clasps that make a satisfying clicky-click noises when you close them.<\/p>
So I can understand the spirit required to go out and fuck some shit up. And I guess, if you’re part of a repressed minority (which I’m not, unless bald middle-aged guy in flanny and beanie is a repressed minority) then any shit that belongs to the dominant class, the stuff that belongs to the people who repress you, is good shit to smash up.\u00a0<\/p>
But it’s like, one minute you’re having fun venting some overdue anger. Several generations of repression and 8 weeks of isolation are coming to a head big time. You’re breaking, burning, chearing… And then some guy walks past with a television.<\/p>
Wait what?<\/p>
But of course they do. Man I just watched the Fyre Festival on Netflix. It took those well-healed kids about 5 hours to descend into a mob. So now imagine living poor in the US or A. The richest most capatalist society on earth. The place is awash with money. Guys in Silicon Valley\u00a0 need $20,000 sleep pods just to take a ten minute nap in. People on Wall Street only use $100 notes for snorting up $1,000s of cocaine. And all you want is a TV. And a Playstation. And a…now wait, you’re just getting greedy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
