Can anyone inform me what christmas is all about.Are we celebrating the fast approaching slaughter and genocide of Iraq.
Just what are we supposed to be celabrating next week.All i see when walking around my local town are people addicted to chemical and consumer induced pseudo euphoria.At any other time of year they all appear moronic and docile.Do i miss the point of all that is going on around me? Iappear to be the only person concerned with the fast approaching genocide of the poor people of Iraq.I recently noticed a poster in a shop window proclaiming peace on earh and goodwill towards all men is this meant as soom sick sarcastic joke.Can someone please inform me of how this poster squares with killing and maiming poor defensless people.I fail to understand the relivence of this thing people refer to as christmas can anyone enlighten me of what is going on.

The Christmas myth needs destroying so we really see what this festival is all about.

Anti-christmas: an overview
It's a big mistake to view Christmas as a merely daft but harmless and antiquated festival.
Christmas is a major, pro-active, assault on the psyche whose main function is to indoctrinate the young into a consumerist, and by extension, pro-capitalist way of life.
That way of life is destroying the planet, causing poverty, climate change and war.
For anyone fighting capitalism, Christmas must be seen as a major target.
