You can agree or disagree with everything that irritates you all you want, and even believe that what you're spouting in response, according to your own outlook on your own, discrete blog, might even be true. But, ultimately, I really do not care about that. Why should I?
No matter what almost-sizable political movement you think you belong to, in the end there's just you - and that's it.
It matters not how popular you are, on or offline. What matters is that you have a view and that you are loyal to it. In the end, though, no matter how much you think you believe in something political, even to the point of becoming a useful activist, you must remain unaligned in order to keep your personal, private integrity intact. Never be tainted: Be free! Or be compromised.
Anyway, that's why this Levellers toon is still so wonderful to me. It's a protest song that's more about free-thinking than it is about politics. In that sense, it's timeless.
If you don't like it then, you know, we're clearly very different and there's no need for you ever to come back here.
Seems fair enough to me.
PS: And there's more...
Humbling brilliance.
We can all agree, or disagree. Just dont say anything about the Tories or you will rudely be told to F off.
ReplyDeleteLol. I hear you, Munguin. And the same to you - though perhaps slightly in reverse.
