SMASH THE SYSTEM!

摘要

When listening to any politician's speech there's a test you can apply to see if what they're saying is memorable. Just ask yourself if anyone could, conceivably, say the precise opposite.rnSo when a politician delivers tells you they're in favour of economic growth and social justice just ask yourself if they would ever speak out in support of stagnation and blind prejudice. Most political speeches are designed not to challenge, provoke and persuade, but simply to establish in the listener's mind what a good bloke the speaker is. And that's done by the politician showingrnthat they share the values of their audience. So blandness rules. And platforms resound to pious declarations in favour of equality, liberty and fraternity. Which make one almost yearn for a spirited call to arms in support of hierarchy, slavery and enmity.
