“I’m hardly what I would call an “intellectual.” I think a lot, and I ask a lot of questions and do a lot of reading and watching documentaries, but most of it is just fueling my own personal curiosity. When it comes to having a political opinion, to me that’s almost the same thing as having an opinion on pro wrestling. Politics in this country (and all around the world for that matter) are an impossible tangle of bullshit and corruption. When I start paying attention to it and forming opinions I almost get mad at myself for following the projected storyline. The truth is always far more complex and twisted than what’s being broadcast through the media, and behind it all is a wave of special interest money and propaganda. It almost seems impossible to fix. If I ever had to go on a political talk show I think it would be very hard to take the whole proposition seriously, and I would almost certainly just start ranting about how ridiculous it is that we’re even discussing it instead of unveiling the true motivation behind all world events; people with fuck loads of money want to make more of it, and they don’t give a fuck who has to die to make that happen.”
