MYTH PROPAGANDA AND DISASTER IN NAZI GERMANY BY STEPHEN SEWELL
MAX: Look, mate, I don’t know what’s happening – I just arrived here, right? And, all right, I know the
Americans go on with all this flag-waving, patriotic bullshit and think the rest of the world hates them, but
fuck, Talbot, they’re right: the rest of the world does hate ‘em – I hate ‘em and I want to live here! It’s envy,
isn’t it: everyone looks at what they’ve got and wants it, only they don’t want to put the hard work into it, do
they; they don’t want to dismantle their own fucked-up societies and build new ones – they don’t want to get
rid of all the old power elites and give individuals their own power; they don’t want to educate women or stop
sending kids blind weaving rugs, they just want the stuff, that’s right, isn’t’ it; and figure the reason they can’t
get the stuff, is because the Americans are stopping them. I mean, that’s just the way the world works, isn’t it?
Like in The Life of Brian - ‘What did the Romans ever do for us?’ That’s where we’re at now, and now some
prick’s actually done something about it, and killed three thousand people, and the Americans are fucking mad
as hell, because they know every single one of them is on that plane hurtling toward the Twin Towers and they
don’t like it and they’re not going to stand for it, and they’re going to get the pricks that’re threatening them.
Well, all power to George W – I don’t want the fucking pricks to win, either. There were Aussies killed up
there, mate, there were English, there were Scots, there were fucking Moslems, for fuck’s sake! There was
fucking everybody: everyone’s hopes were up there in those two towers – hopes for their own advancement,
hopes that dumb human beings like us could actually get somewhere, hopes for a better world – and those
deadshits – Osama and his mates – those fucking deadshits just went, ‘Nah, we don’t care about you and your
hopes. Your God sucks. You’re fucked. This is the way the world is now. Fuck ya.’ That’s what they said. And
now America’s saying, ‘Fuck you’ back, and if they didn’t mate, then I’d be scared. It’s a war, Talbot.
