There's a line from the BBC series 'Absolutely Fabulous' paraphrasing here: "You get your dry cleaning back and it's a revolution" ... the jab here was banal things have become blown way out of proportion ... which they later associate with 'New labour' whether (-) overstuff the action with empowerment overtones (-) business' attempts to conflate routine service to be on par with love, family, and a sort Grandma as a dry cleaner who was always there for you to give love, a smile, iron your clothes all these many years. In fact both avenues are so overplayed it betrays and reveals for what it is: a desperate need to be seen and taken seriously, which is why we're blowing more time talking about it here. What's going over there such that this became a real conversation? If you wanna blow off computers for a while, for God sakes just do it and stop soliciting attention. You want to go cold-turkey on drugs, alcohol, girl-friends, job, computer, ... join the club: it's going on all the time. A revolution? Try MLK for but one relevant example. When did routine become such a big ask? |
