WE KEEP OUR VICTIMS READY:
"Having everyone look as inoffensive as possible,having everyone be as together as possiblee-though the wearer is as offensive possible on the inside. You want everyone to look the same,so maybe they'll feel the same and then they'll be easier to control,to take over,".-Karen FInley
In the late eighties through the early nineties, Ed o'neil starre as Al Bundy on the popular sitcom Married with Children. This sitcom filtered the blue collar working class ambivalence of pedestrian country music ,through campy low budget trash comedy, that at times brought to mind a cleaner version of John Waters seventies period.
Ed O'neil's characterr becomes a cartoon protest leader against misandrist subjugation in numerous episodes. Today Ed O'neil is the sellout star of the sitcom Modern Family. Married with Children was a marginally subversive and slightly iconoclast attack on the status quo of the nuclear family status quo and the american dream. Modern Family on the other hand, reminds us that equality is the enemy of diversity. What we see on Modern Family is an affirmative action mandated equal distribution of misery. Reminiscent of the classic vonnegut short story about equality being enforced by law, that opens his Welcome to the Monkeyhouse collection. The gay couple on the sitcom are homosexuals of the polite ivy league variety. They frequently express contempt and spite towards more flaming outspoken gays.
This sitcom uses the gay couple as a propaganda vehicle to bring back the pre stonewall glory days of the 1950s assimilationist homophile organizations. The masses act like accepting gay marriage and laughing at this show, makes them more open minded and progressive. It clearly doesnt . The respectable assimilationist movement won no civil rights. and by "ELIMINATING THE MOST POWERFUL FORM OF SEXUAL DISSENT IN AMERICAN CULTURE, ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTED TO THE SEXUAL CONSERVATISM OF THE TIMES:"-Thaddeus Russell
The masses insidiously accept this allegedly revolutionary act of liberation while at the same time further perpetuating there reactionary agenda of phillistine conservatism.After i wrote this, Sadie Switchblade wrote her own column on this subject, in eloquent Solanas esque polemic fashion: "The desire of queers to get married is unnatural and has been planted in us by norms in order to assimilate us into their bullshit society to declaw us and neutralize our threatening nature. "Gay Culture". Has been subsumed into hetero culture entirely,there are cops,bans and straight people in the fucking pride parade.The spirit of Sylvia Rivera lives on in Jennicet Guttierrez. This isnt progress. this is full on regression. an agenda so single-minded and compromised that it has infantilized all of us. Where we once hurled rocks and high heels at our oppressors,we now mutter sheepish pleas for sympathy and "rights" We owe it to our foremothers and to ourselves to weaponize our anger and to burn shit to the ground. We want liberation . Not assimilation! When the fuck did we trade in our radical history for tolerance and lip service from a bunch of elitist liberals and guilt wracked do-gooders? Marriage is a tool of the state that will never set the stage for our freedom. Fuck every single pathetic salmon-shorts wearing gay married shitbag. You only have your marriage because you bumped the T off LGB in order to get your horseshit legislation passed." -Sadie Switchblade.
