Silent Running

You may have noticed that things have got a bit crazy in the UK recently. The divide and conquer routine straight out of the dictator playbook was started by our previous government and kicked in to high gear by the current one. We planned not to get involved with politics with our blog and social media account but it hasn’t worked out that way. When you see evil sometimes you have to call it out. As 90s kids we grew up with values of peace and freedom, at some point this flipped and the “virtuous” position is of war and control. Maybe morality has some geographical and temporal specificity but this is straight bullshit wherever and whenever you are.

It is up to all of us to take charge of our own safety and the aim is to call a halt to something before you cross the line where the risk outweighs the benefits. The writing has been on the wall for some time but this last week, with some appallingly chosen words from our prime minister, we crossed what we believe is an event horizon towards a fascist state.

As much as anything this post is a reminder to ourselves not to get tempted to talk politics online again (at least not too overtly) and to hide in plain sight whilst staying true to our values in quieter ways. So from here on in we’ll largely only be talking online about our particular brand of woo woo, which is still fun!

There may be hope, our new prime minister before taking power just looked cowardly, now he looks scared, maybe he thinks the people can win. But for safety’s sake we will temporarily show faux conformity by signing off with the words of a true man of the people, Homer Simpson.

‘Na na na na na na na na LEADER! I LOVE THE LEADER!’

See you on the flip side.
