You act like you’ve never commented on the Internet before. I’m not swearing at, yelling at, or threatening you. Why are you trying so hard to portray my comments as unreasonable? I’m not claiming to contribute to society, or make some grand statement, or re-define anything. The artists are. They have a higher bar to clear. It pisses me off because they’re so smug about being confidently wrong. It would be one thing if they were just scrappy thieves and lived up to it, but they are also arrogant rat bastards who feel the need to lecture others. Fuck them and all their self-absorbed, Kombucha-chugging Hollywood cronies. I had much the same feeling reading Abbie Hoffman’s Steal this Book. It was not enough to say “Here’s how to steal from old people and grocery stores.” He had to say, “Here’s how to steal from old people and grocery stores, and also here’s why you are totally justified in doing so because They are evil and different from Us, The Good Guys.” It was sickening.
