engaging with pure violence

Loui_Tacceh [Edit] [Delete] 21:18, 11 September '13

another police series. another detective show. another action movie. another game where you carry a gun & amass money/kills

to those who wish to say "fuck that, fuck all of that", i am your comrade

BUT

are these not mere simplifications of our need for stimuli? our need for drama, achievement or communication? is the act of violence, the notion of killing, the eternal 1-0 scoreline - is this not a drug of self-affirmation that sustains us?

i think we've been culturally conditioned to seek violence as a shortcut to actualisation, and i reject this.

sport? as fine a compromise as we have invented...
