Often times, European culture and American culture are generalized together, simply, "the west." To me, there's one clear difference between the two. Radicalism exists in Europe. Here, well... Our skinheads hang out at holister. Sharp in their polo/sweater/fashionably mangled jeans. Only the best chinatown special cologne. Standing in front of the store, their exact clone, staring out into the mall. Except maybe he's shirtless, and ripped and tan and all that shit, or something. We love that stuff.
Our skinheads hang out at Holister, preaching on about the holiness of Ayn Rand and Objectivism. Why Ron Paul should've won so mommy and daddy can pay less taxes, so the government can help less people.
The salvation of the tatters that is the counter culture here in America is that our skinheads are pretty lame.
Though, it's not hard to find the tatters of the counter culture. They're at the mall too. At least they get yelled at for loitering. [Apparently, you can't stand in a mall, you've got to walk around and buy shit] Too busy with drugs to give a shit about possibly even objecting to the presence of the objectivist temple that is the mall, not to even mention taking direct action.
We've done it. We're a totally apathetic nation.
I want to change this place.
