losing that terror that used to motivate you

Good piece from Dubversion. I think things in the 80s were more polarised and simple – it was a fight to the death and the sides were clear.

These days everything is submerged under layers of bureacracy and blair-speak. I think there’s a general unease with the world, and a total distrust of the political class, but there are less easy targets and therefore less righteous anger.

That might just be temporary, though – a few slip ups, a bit more economic downturn and you’re looking at a different (but not necessarily better) picture.

In the meantime there is work to be done exposing the bullshit, but it looks like a harder prospect than jumping up and down and shouting.
