We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.

Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

Post-politics nihilism

Or the same familiar foaming…

Perfect for a lunch break…

A tip – here is the same video but with better translated subtitles. Alas, the embedding has been disabled, which is rather stupid. Fits the spirit of the thing.

  • Rather alarmingly, that all made perfect sense to me smiley_holy_crapola.gif

    …But damn, Japanese is one scary sounding language!

    Perry,
    Where did the smiley come from? I ain’t never seen one on SD.

  • Uncle Kenny

    I can only assume the minority he is so worked up about is bald people.

    Revolt against the tyranny of the hairy!

    Two observations:

    1. The neck-tendon whip at the end was almost Austin Poweresque. “I ask you, who throws a shoe?”.

  • Class A nutter.

    Yay for free speech!

  • Tanuki

    Watching that, I kept on expecting it to dissolve at any moment into the latest episode of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex or some similar Japanese techno-anime.

    After voting in another local election today, this guy’s general point regarding the meaninglessness of that act is hard to reject. If he had been running in my ward, I really would have voted for him.

  • Wonderful!

    Completely insane, of course, but wonderful nonetheless.

  • ArtD0dger

    I always knew he’d go far.

  • He won’t be really dangerous until they give him a major tranquilliser.
    Flupenthixol ought to do it.
    Marvellous.
