Um Etw Kampfen - To Fight For

It’s a real shame when a cause worth fighting for is championed by a bunch of complete tossers. So many of the important issues right now, such as climate change, the energy crisis, and the conflicts in the Middle East - things that I’d almost say I was passionate about - are simply being protested very publicly by absolute idiots. Some people take things to far, and, in my eyes, do more to hinder their cause than help it. When I see some screaming, antagonistic prick going mental at the riot police because they disagree with the war in Iraq, I actually begin to think of all the devil’s advocate justifications for killing a ton of Iraqis purely to disassociate myself from these complete bell ends. It’s the same with most things; books you like, films you enjoy, celebrities you’re fans of, and comedians you laugh at. No matter how cool you think you are for liking something genuinely good, and mostly overlooked by the general public, there’ll be at least one total cockend who’ll appear to love more than you and will talk about it loudly and twatilly in front of other people. Unfortunately because this person is a complete fuckwit, his audience will disregard any praise for whatever book, film, celebrity or comedian, and will probably actively put it or him/her on a shitlist of stuff to vehemently avoid. It would be so much easier if wankers just stuck to wanker issues, media and people, and only decent members of society cared about the important stuff. But as that’s never going to happen, so many important issues will become apathetically avoided by those who don’t want to be tarred by the same embarrassingly idiotic brush as those irritating fuckstarts who apparently feel the same way.
