…I feel some of the imagery in the Anti-Flag video is redundant/over the top…&…at best a counterbalance mechanism to the other three entries; maybe push me pull me as a fulcrum   but there’s also the air of meaning in the lyrics that have nada to do with the video artists visceral visuals & point of view…so the contrasts themselves act as internal balancers within the video. 

See, it’s jus far too ludicrous to fathom & make a lick o sense

To me…what merited repeating about the Anti-Flag video (choice) was more on a mad comic book level than as docudrama or …well…man… I just don’t know anymore, it's bang yo head against the wall or go! go! go! with the status quo flow.  We’re so inundated with, “Be seated people.  Astounding information, like a piston steel rod against bone, still has the floor!  It’s gona hurt…, it’s often dire or hypnotic & when it’s truthful in its assertions that there are actually those who would commit atrocities for income, it reeks of certain inalienable outrage.  & there will be a strong counter-point to every message in order to keep it racked by a dog of a dubious nature.  No sky’s the limit, limitations like red bricks for the many & styrofoam to the few.  & the costs & the Boom!”   We’re saddled with it in inconceivable ways & means like a quake.  & most of us jus want to work well & play nice in a livable climate & in service of our families & progeny, people @ home & abroad & friends where applicable.  & for me, to walk beside the free sea…together.

Ya know what?  There’s so much good about people in most every life.  Yeah, the fit hits the shan (& other clichés) ’cause duh! lines have been drawn in certain sand & separatist agenda; nasty reference points & the golden rules that are trampled over as fools gold in multi-million dollar households.   But moments & notions of moments easily blow us away every frocking day because humanity is constantly rebirthing itself in our every waking hour, No?  Time is a funny animal.  This past week or so on the dbis has been affecting.  Every receiving one of us who thinks & breathes gets high on a feeling every now and again ... and good

I’m only a glad hub & pop.  In most all other things, I’m unconvinced & occasionally problematic 

…So why a video which is abstractly connected with MIM?

Nope, there’s no “ist” or “ism” that I’d proscribe, I’m no kind of “ist” devotee. 

Each person herein & therein iz born, lives by some individual process, knows

discovery, gets old … accumulates ideas & things  ...is effecting/impacting

So I started the thread ... mostly because it’s edgy for the age & poignant with a point, it’s pulse driven & I like the harmonies in the song & the groovy mock-jovial l’il Japanese girl in video black & white (who reminds me of a friend).  & the morph from Alfred E. Neuman to Dubya is convincing enough to make it amusing viewing, while trying not to amuse myself to death.

If you can get the track:  School of Assassins, it’s a worthy listen, imo, IF [big if] you’re okay w/ th [punk] genre.
