La revolución de Russell Brand

This is some good great stuff. I agree with most of what comes of his crazy mouth. Why be complicit? Why feed and be part of the a broken/fixed system? Why do we have to pick between the lesser of two evils? In the US, the Democrats are awesome at creating and exacerbating problems. And the Republicans are great at exacerbating and creating problems. We all agree, there are many complex problems, and I stress MANY and COMPLEX. Some of the problems are old, and some of those problems are new. Group A and group B are the ones that created the problems. Why would be keep on putting them back into office? We don't have to pick from either group A or group B. We can pick group C or we can say, none of my choices are any good at all, I'm opting out.

He is also right, there will be a revolution, or maybe a few revolutions. As we have seen a few time in the past 100 years, power is not given up easily. We are seeing that now in Syria. How's it going to look in Boston? Or LA, or New York or Chicago. Will it be peaceful? Some dude or dudette will come off the street, speak to the people, get elected, and change everything. Unlikely. Will it be a little messy? Shut down food stamps for a few weeks and things will not be peaceful at all, they will for sure get messy. Or more like a civil rights or occupy, semi peaceful, semi messy, isolated skirmishes and deaths on both sides, leading to reforms, but not really change. Or like it always seems to end up, with a fearful state and an angry and hungry and  disenfranchised populous, that is normally dealt with or solved with jackboots and marshal law. None of those are impossible, they have happened around the world, over and over in the past century, on very large scales. Why would America be immune. America was born out of revolution.

The people who are in charge now, and people who will be running in 2014 and 2016 have no desire to change or fix things. They are the same people who have been part of the problem for most if not all of their adult life. They are A or B.

Like Russell, I can see there are problems, I don't have the answers, but I know sure as hell 99% of the people who will be on the ballot don't have the answers either, and truth be told, they aren't much interested in the answers, or even admitting there is a problem, or that THEY are the problem.

So, BZ to you Russel Brand, for being crazy, truthful and deadly accurate. Advice? No incumbents, vote third party, or opt out.
