This post is about UR, rather than the war. I feel it's been quite controversial to question the UR statement. There's a lot of confusion in the world and I am not comfortable with the current trends in nationalism, or anti-american sentiments in any way shape or form. It seems to me that many US citizens are reacting in such a way as to strengthen the right-wing leadership agenda.
It's been a successful marketting strategy to represent resistance to the major recording industry. They are the heros of the revolution. I think that rather than parody the situation, Mad Mike is placing UR in a fictitious universe with a fictitious president and it's fictitious war. I am sorry but I am now becoming dissillusioned with the UR message. The target this time is not the majors but a rebel faction. The UR message hints towards nationalism, and I would not wish to venture into any further analogies. We (the people of the world) need to take positive action, not kill people, or betray.
