On Breakcore Part 2

i said i left the breakcore scene not because of its political swing to conservatism around the year 2000, but because i could not formulate a criticism of this particularly virulent form of conservatism. but today, i can. breakcore is haunted by what i call "intellectual blindness"; the inability to realize what ideals are and their importance, and how they're different from the bullshit of everyday life. using a speech by durruti or mussolini or stalin, sampling bland pop or death metal or avantgarde, it's all the same to the breakcore crowd, interchangeable, dull, of no importance. they don't realize that the struggle for anarchism, for a better world, for love or truth is a very real thing that effects very real living beings - to them it's just another "ideology" like the speech of the potus or even the words of a manic salesman. because they don't understand that having and fighting for ideals is something very real and true. that ideals have true meaning and glory and can and will change the world to the better.
