Dissent is not dead

It seems the world of today is no less wrought with inequality and violence than that of 1968. But although impassioned popular actions of the kind mentioned in the last post appear to have subsided in the global North and West, at least for the time being, that is not to say that dissent has died a death. In fact, a less cynical analysis of the trends noted previously would be that the culture of scepticism and dissent in response to the more sinister policies and actions of governments on both sides of the Atlantic have filtered into popular consumerist culture. The past four or five years have been blessed with a steady stream of over-the-counter dissent products. iDissent will now be pleased to showcase its favourite examples thereof.
