subtweet; "using technology to make the world look like raves and libraries, entirely incidentally b/c people are trying to meet deep emotional needs including the need to play"
appeals more than
"using technology to make the world a larger Walmart"
... unless of course you're one of the middle managers in said larger Walmart.
"The contemporary church is... so often the arch supporter of the status quo. Far from being disturbed by the presence of the church, the power structure of the average community is consoled by the church's often vocal sanction of things as they are... an irrelevant social club with no meaning for the twentieth century. I meet young people every day whose disappointment with the church has risen to outright disgust."
to quote someone smarter than me;
"Frankly, I have never yet engaged in a direct-action movement that was 'well timed' according to the timetable of those who have not suffered unduly from the disease of segregation. For years now I have heard the word 'wait.'...This 'wait' has almost always meant 'never.'"

RAtM lyrics, while buzzed, from memory
Christ
causing innocent blood to flow
entire culture caught in the overthrow
they came to seize and take whatever they please
and all they gave back was death and disease
my people were left with no choice but to decide
to conform to a system
responsible for genocide
responsible for genocide
responsible for genocide
buzzed and quoting RAtM lyrics from memory, I didn't come here to tell you how this is gonna end.
although you try to discredit
you'll still never edit
the needle I'll thread it
radically poetic
standing with the fury they had in 66
and like e double I'm mad still knee deep in the system's shit
Hoover! He was a body remover
I'll give you a dose but it can never come close
to the rage built up insid'a me
fist in the air in the land of hypocrisy
movements come and movements go
leaders speak movements cease when their heads are flown
cause all these punks got bullets in their heads
department of police (what?)
the judges (what?) the feds
movements at work keepin' people calm
you know they went after King when he spoke out on Vietnam
he gave the power to the have nots
and then came the shot
with poetry my mind I flex
flip like wilson
movement never lackin' that finese
something something something something do it like you want
to shake you up to break the system up
cause blood still flows in the gutter
i like taking photos
bad boy kick 'em in the shutter
something something something something move like I was Cassius
take another step and bomb a left upon the fascists
yeah the several federal men
who pulled schemes off the dream and brought it to an end
movements at work keepin' people calm
you know they murdered X and tried to blame it on Islam
he turned the power to the have-nots
and then came the shot
