It's because I'm not hip and ironic enough, I think. Check out this photo from an "anti-wall" rally.
Now at first glance, I would consider this to be a "pro-wall" message, because most reasonable people don't support crazy-ass masked weirdos covered in dynamite. Ergo, if Hamas says "No Wall," NORMAL people should be Pro Wall. See?
Except apparently this guy ISN'T engaging in a tongue-in-cheek display of parody. Apparently this guy thinks that crazy-ass masked weirdos covered in dynamite speak rationally and are good role models. Ergo, if Hamas is anti-wall, we should ALL be anti-wall.
Pardon me, the mental disconnect has given me a headache and I need to go lie down. Maybe I'm TOO hip and ironic. Perhaps bone-headed and completely without irony are the necessary ingredients for protests these days. Either way, I'm left out, and I can't say that I'm too upset about it.
