If every child chased dreams of societal reorganization in place of sweet wrappers and escape Then we would see Mr. Cadbury's enlightened industrialism for what it really fucking is: Social morphine - we'd have ourselves a pre-school army. Walt Disney is pushing social and sexual hierarchy. My bed-time stories like a GMTV gomulka. Slumbering in my jimmy-jammies, My wondrous imagination long since closed and put away.
Willy Wonka was a capitalist confidence trickster. A poster boy for neo-liberalism. A full-stop on revolt. And the BFG a propagandist for an unaccountable regime. Orwell's vision with a wrinkled face.
Hold out the arm and quiet the voice.
My first MacDonald's visit a vaccination Like the time my parents took me to the school clinic and handed me over to the teacher nurse whatever.
I too got sucked in by the myth machine. Unattainable, but I just wish we weren't so fucking mindless. Drowned in a recurring nightmare of causal influence. A little more suspicion in our fairy tales please. Mum and dad, I'm sorry, I won't do what Enid Blyton told me. Our jealousy at their opportunity: the once weak will one day rule this world. The monsters underneath the bed are merely jaded failings.
