You all helped make it a very special night. Kippis! __________________________________________________________________ 03-07-11 22.12 GMT 24 YEARS AGO WE LAST PERFORMED 24 years later, the world is a slightly different place. 24 years later, we are all slightly different people. 24 years later, we find that for the most part, a lot of the same problems and injustices are still with us. 24 years later, we find that for the most part, we still feel very similar about them. 24 years ago, we had lived through the first part of our adult lives. 24 years later, we've grown up, (a little) and have to deal with responsibilities and situations that simply didn't exist for us back then. There are no hard and fast rules Why did we decide to do it? It's been a long and interesting process since we first discussed the possibility. Everyone involved has through the years maintained a bond with each other that stems from feeling the same way about the hand that life deals us. We don't agree on everything. We never have. What we do all agree on is that the most important thing for us is to be able to evaluate and make decisions based on our ability and willingness to be open. When we met to discuss whether or not we should, after all this time, finally do this, we knew that things would be different, and we knew that there would be differences between us that weren't there previously. We knew that there were difficult conversations to be had, and we knew that it wouldn't be an easy decision to make, but over-riding all of that was an instinct that we would feel that the things we had in common, would far outweigh the things we disagreed on. We were right. We had and still have no idea how far this might go, but what we do know is that now, finally, it feels like the right thing to do. Antisect, for most people, will never be just about the music. It was always more than that. Even from day 1 with the "Noise Addicts" flyers and all. We were always described as "uncompromising" and maybe in our early days we were just that, but isn't life and co-existance all about compromises? Or should we always do exactly as we want, because that is the "truer" way? For us, the evidence that we see of the consequences of a society that appears to be driven by an ethos of "doing exactly as it wants" makes for pretty ugly viewing. To do exactly as we want without social conscience leads us to where we are today. On the brink of global meltdown, with higher levels of corruption, governance, poverty and mistrust than ever before. Maybe this "true" way is the path that we should follow? After all, it could be said, that if our actions are governed purely by selfish motivations, we are, at the bottom line, at least being honest with ourselves, and it could be argued that at the end of the day, it is only ourselves that we must answer to. "Look into the depths of your own beings, seek out the truth Alternatively, if we believe in "Society", does it not best serve that belief to understand that not all those within society exist on an equal plane? Not everyone is born with the same opportunities. Not everyone takes the same paths in life. If so, does it not then follow that in order to preserve "Society", compromises have to be made to assimilate the various viewpoints that exist within it? Individuality or collectivism? "Collective individuality"? We operate in many shades of grey. On a conventional political level, the far left is often divided by the consequences of it's navel gazing. By it's very nature, it has a conscience and a will to examine itself, and when the inevitable disagreements arise, the pattern has been for splinters to form as the various elements dissipate into their own entrenched corners, with the net result being that the movement as a whole is weakened because of a less united front. The far right on the other hand, has very little social conscience, and thus very few of the above dilemmas. Consequently, it is able to present a much more uncompromising standpoint and often has need to do very little other than stand back and watch it's opponents pull themselves apart. Can you see where we're going with this? We believe debate is essential. For without debate and opposing viewpoints we become insular and closed. Without challenges to our perception of what's wrong and what's right we lose the opportunity to re-evaluate who were are. We become intransigent. We remain the people we were, instead of embracing the opportunity to become the people we could be. We like the idea that life can teach us things that we cannot perceive until we have lived through it. We like the idea that we are able to be open enough and strong enough to re-evaluate our own priorities and adjust and adapt accordingly. However, none of us are perfect. Let's not make the mistake of thinking we are. We are all chameleons. We learn to walk the walk, and talk the talk that puts us closer to where we wish to be within the confines our own little worlds. We bite our tongues when we feel it's more appropriate to do so. We are all to a greater or lesser extent, imposters. Cogs in the machine. If it was possible to live outside the confines of this society, most of us would probably choose to do so. The very fact that it isn't possible, forms the basis for our frustration and rage. We can't allow ourselves to be marginalised, to be continually pushed to the periphery. But to engage means that our focus must be more outward than inward and we must be strong enough in who we are to be able to trade the blows. We must accept that yes, we are all individuals, we will not agree on everything, but this should form the basis for our collective strength, not our weakness.
