Handmaid’s Tale….1984….V for Vendetta….The Wall….

Does anyone else feel the way I do?

Got this bad omnipresent vibe….

And it isn’t getting much better.

I’m particularly struck by the video for “The Show Must Go On” and “Run Like Hell” from Pink Floyd’s The Wall.

I’ve seen the movie so many times I can’t count….but watching now, tonight….

It’s very close to a reality we were told about long ago…

A reality that has been there, always…racism, hate, bigotry, abuse…

…. and building The Hate Machine taller and wider…now it lurches and belches and heaves into the fading light.

“Who let all this riffraff into the room….there’s one smoking a joint, and that one’s got spots….if I had my way…I’d have all of you shot!”

Shudder.
