The dramatic duet climactic performance by musicians Jimmy Buffet and Beth Gibbons emanates from the cosmic banyan tree with accents of regurgitation traversing towards the doldrums of stagnation. Extremism has reached a new level of weirdness.
As creativity exits sullenly and slumped into the twilight of obscurity, fusion has barged its way into the gene pool speed dating scene and rumbles and stumbles from the orchestral pit of the universal concert hall, where the audience worships popular culture, and the epitome of the shameless manifests itself in the form of a hybrid lacking the drive and enthusiasm to pursue the status of a pure bred. Amongst this stifling ecosystem of listlessness, substance and conviction are assessed by the inept curators of the social media hierarchy.
In adorning the newest generation of public figures with all the shimmering accents of a Waterford crystal set subtlety of chalices gleaming in the perpetual twilight belief systems are crumbled wads of paper in an overflowing downtown West coast metropolis of decay and dismay, garbage strewn and hopes dashed by insolence.
The newest collection of celebrity activists is headlined by Greta Thunberg and a public awareness campaign for those on the Autism spectrum dominated by the action of overbearing parents exploiting their children for the sake of pushing an agenda. The tiresome act is as subtle as a suburban hobo stealing a shopping cart full of steaks and booze, with the grocery store staff applauding, to a derelict van with a bubble window and a Western motif in the adjacent parking lot.
Thunberg, who is now 22 years old and lacking the accolades of a scholar was a passenger on a yacht of fellow disruptors apparently protesting the controversy in the Middle East and the conflict between Palestinians and Israel in the Gaza strip.
While attempting to gain unauthorized portage in Gaza, the vessel was escorted by Israeli forces to a dock and 12 passengers including Thunberg were detained and eventually deported. The crew 0f the 40-foot boat and journey which originated in Spain were supposedly campaigning against the existence of “the Zionist state”, while naively and indirectly supporting the terrorist group of HAMAS, a formula of the oblivion which plagues a percentage of the younger generations.
All individuals aboard the boat from a plot that paralleled the storyline of “Lord of the Flies”, were eventually released to continue to spread propaganda bordering on the indifferent, as radicals on both sides of the ideological spectrum offer nothing but speculation flooded by the visceral. The consequence is an aimless worship of the subjective rather the objective as the wildfires of glowsticks illuminate panic rooms on university campuses.
Thunberg and her maritime crew were funded by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), an organization that contracts with digital instigators who face little or no accountability, a mutualistic relationship that spawns dissent and not practical solutions. Included in the cadre on the yacht were a pair of “journalists” that highlighted the 9-day voyage which came to abrupt end as Israel officials do not tolerate the demeanor of children interfering in the tapestry of an already tenuous situation.
While the navy of activists were processed through deportation proceedings, none faced harm and were sent on their way to mercy of the trade winds and season temperatures, all while the mob bosses of HAMAS furrowed their brows, rubbed their chins and inwardly celebrated another minor victory against diplomacy and humanity. The immaculate algorithm of having children doing the work of adults in assembling the puzzle pieces of a new world order is innovative and deplorable warfare targeting the essence and utility of basic freedoms in a blizzard of entitlement.
