Uncomfortablism - Why

We don't want people badly frightened, but we think they are too comfortable.

How can anyone vote for the likes of George W. Bush and John W. Howard?

People feel affluent, confirmed in their prejudices, reassured in their blind pursuit of gentility, internal combustion and white goods.

How can we avert the rise of fascism? How can we get the message across that the illusory world we are presented is a product of cynical manipulation by a small group, ruthless in their ambition and without compassion, who would control this planet at any cost?

Let's sneak toast crumbs into people's pyjamas. Let's get a universal remote and stand outside their window changing channels on them.

We need to get out of the McMansion and into the gutter. We need a dishwasher break-down, pebbles in our shoes, ants in our pants, sand in our cracks. We have to wake up and smell the sewage.

Uncomfortablism: you in or you out?
