Why would this classic liberal artist feel revulsion at Portland News8 blowing valentines to agitators? Well…
Left-v-Right meaningless. One side wants Mommy-energy setting firm rules {strict Green Energy} another prefers vigor of Daddy-assertions {say, Only Two Sexes}, with both falling under Authoritarian: Passive. Fear, wait.To be told. When to be helpless & what to do with their newest flavors of fear.
Lives On Hold, until Joseph Campbell’s latest Super Hero arrives… maybe wearing a frog suit? Permission{s} Granted!
Portland Pepe is meme example of Counter Gangs - in line with BLM & Antifa as minions to power in the EpiWars: that battlespace defining the limits to what we think we can even think & how that changes what victory means, epistemologically.
So… We watch vying groups each claiming public frog favor. Both sides shoved to one-end of political spectrum, stuck in a shaking jar of red+blue ants, fighting, for air to speak, scheming & hoarding, looking for space to stand.
Truth shows vast majority of Americans agree on what we are and want, but State is corrupted by commerce & criminal networks that rarely vote/act as routinely polled over decades.
Vote harder? We might as well be debating a-cappella versus syncopated music. Worse, Gangs o'New York brawling Country vs Western. Reluctantly, I salute those memesters at Langley, Tavistock, Madison Ave, probably clipping our reactions for next Performance Review bonus.They've made mockery of our lives, values & dreams.
