One of my favorite brands of silliness.

‘‘Free thinkers’’ love to think of themselves as ‘‘enlightened’’, as brilliant individuals whom have ‘‘cracked the code’’, broke the binary, went beyond the pale of ‘‘good and evil’’, rose above the filth of material reality, of left and right in political terms.

There are none more sheepishly led by the nose than those that think they’re free, paraphrasing from Goethe, and deliberately utilizing the word ‘‘sheep’’ in there. Because these are the clowns that always call people ‘‘sheep’’ while, as comrades have pointed out, bleating state department talking points. They think they’re freed from material reality, ‘‘free spirits’’ roaming aimlessly, ‘‘sovereign citizens’’ in defiance of state decrees. The amount of irony in their existence is what I find most entertaining, and why I love seeing their ass takes on YT comment sections.

I spent the holidays last year going to a neighbor’s house, and hanging out in the balcony, with fireworks popping off from the ‘‘cerro’’ behind my home, with beers and loud music, while his boys who’re off in Chicago, were videocalling us from their car, in a parking lot, drinking with us and some Mexican friends of theirs, while looking out for cops. The contrast was just sad.

Not even in PR, a satellite of the empire which by all practical accounts consumes the same ideological brainrot the US produces, does this shit happen.
