Ok so this is my new blogskin lah.
if you cant see it, just refresh.
it happens sometimes.

the main theme is based on anarchy and anti-capitalism.

the slogan (of sorts) for it is eat the rich.
its an anti-capitalist slogan.
it isnt anti capitalism.
to be accurate, its socialist (kinda).
its an expression against people who lead ostentatious lifestyles filled with excess while people live in squalor.
i'm not for redistribution of wealth, i'm against a wide income gap.
there will inevitably be a wide income gap, but i dont think it should be allowed to be THAT wide.

lemme show you.

G-S-T. what does it mean?
Government Salary Top-up.

and they ask us to buy house brands while they still can afford to live comfortably.
hypocrisy, say i.

the rest of the symbols are anarchist symbols.
the first 1 is the Circle-A.
i chose a more simple design because i dont like how the mainstream has co-opted the word anarchy as a synonym for chaos.
anarchy isnt chaos.
anarchy is freedom. freedom of choice.
the circle represents the letter o.
so we've got an A in an O.
it represents Anarchy and Order respectively.
it means Anarchy is Order.

the 2nd symbol is the black flag, which besides representing black flag (an amazing Hardcore Punk band),
represents absence of government.
no nations. no borders.
no division. no wars (hopefully)

here i quote a song by john lennon, Imagine.
(i love this song, which seems surprising as its quite a slow song.)

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one.

Imagine

beautiful song.
very inspirational.
may be idealistic, but its an ideal to strive for.

anyway, the absence of governance also represents (to me)
the absence of oppression.
where else do you get people who have THE RIGHT to oppress you and muzzle you, innit?
(and in the USA, to swap your life for barrels of oil, in some "War On Terror")

The black Cat represents fighting back when your rights are infringed on.
fighting back against injustice. (I really should get involved in direct action, but i cant find any organisations in singapore which advocate direct action.)

Crass Symbol represents several things.
firstly it represents the first ever band to expouse seriously anarchist ideals (The sex pistols simply used it for shock value.)
also, the symbol itself represents the ideal that power will eventually consume itself.
it consists of a double headed snake chasing after its other half.
the Snake (represnting power and authority) will eventually consume itself.

Finally, we have a restatement of the most important message here.
anarchy is order.
A=O.
1 day thats going on my skin.
fuck yeah.
