1. There is no sense of community. The internet has brought people from around the world together in a way they’ve never been before, yet everybody seems more disconnected from any form of community now more than ever. Those communities that do exist are old fashioned and out of sense (religious groups) and are contributors towards the reasons “Why there should be a revolution…”
2. We’ve been brought up under the impression that the anti-establishment is bad…and we believe it.
3. Our downfall is brought on one dial click at a time, in a way that we can adjust ourselves accordingly and accept it before we slip one click further (see “gas prices”).
4. The push for technology to become a necessity in everyone’s lives causes people to focus on consuming, much to the joy of major corporations.
5. The surplus of patriotism flooding the country. However, this patriotism has changed from supporting ones country to supporting said country’s leadership, who of course seems innocent and harmless, but in reality is truely corrupt and pushing said country into the pit. Events that take place now which would have once caused an uproar have now become accepted past times, thanks to reason number three.
6. Greed, both on the large scale with corporations and the small scale with individuals, thanks to reasons one and four.
7. Apathy and laziness.
8. Even as I type this, I’m just as guilty as the guy next to me, yet I’m sure I won’t do anything about it aside from type this out and post it in my blog. A continuing, viscious cycle.

(As a side note, I just watched a documentary, “punk: attitude,” on IFC, and I felt inspired)
