Nepal Burnin'



This is something I made a while ago. News channels depress me, so do those anti-democracy forces. I won’t try to write today. Instead I’ll quote here a speech made by Rage Against The Machine, one of my favourite bands, on 02 February, 1993, at Stokholm at the Melody.


"We’ve got to regain knowledge again, and we’ve got to regain an understanding again, of who we are. Not just those chosen to fuel systems, but individuals who have the power to criticize and analyze, and attack injustice when it becomes prevalent and apparent in front of our faces like it is in ours right now. We’ve been all put to sleep. Put to sleep to a system. A system that continues to perpetrate ignorance amongst our spirit and amongst our minds. One that wants you not to act. A system that would rather see all of you at that bar drinking beer filling your minds being put to sleep with beer or with drugs rather than acting against it and fighting a system which has been perpetrating imperialist lies and other fucking bullshit for five hundred years. So fuckin’ drink up or fuckin’ wake up. You’re part of the solution or you’re part of the fuckin’ problem.”
