[High Praise! to Weisshaupt]
It’s got some swears in it, but this is the most viscerally accurate description of the deeper philosophical implications of the Chevy Volt that you’ll ever read:
The Car We Were Forced To Build
For those who only like clean language, here’s a post from Adaptive Curmudgeon’s series on the Occupy movement:
Full Examination Of Hobby Protest (Part II Of My OWS Analysis)
You’ll need these definition from part I:
Hobby Protest – noun: A form of protest where participants engage in theatric activities for the joy of the experience itself and not necessarily for the advancement of their goals (if they have any).
Serious Protest – noun: A form of protest characterized by groups of people who have a serious grievance and are determined to get what they want. Serious protests are undertaken only by people who have exhausted other attempts to gain their objectives.

Cool blog! Ripped my shirt off and grunted like Tim Allen. MORE POWER! I blow my nose on the Chevy Dolt. My Cordoba’s stereo drew more amps than a Volt
“The Car We Were Forced To Build” – loved the article. Loved the rant. Love the attitude!
“It’s Jimmy Carter’s sweater.”
And his “malaise.”
Great stuff, Adaptive Curmudgeon.
I enjoyed thinking about the Volt while attending a sprint car race tonight. Central Pennsylvania: where we bitterly cling to guns, religion, an antipathy for those who want to take our liberties, and a 24-car field of 410 cubic inch fuel-injected big blocks.
Awesome rant – liked the included examples of propaganda-done-right also.
