Pretty childish, if you ask me. I can swear with the best of them, but I don't think vulgar language achieves anything here. OTOH, maybe that's how the group he is a part of talks. Doesn't do anything for me, though.
Frank Lopez's character as The Stimulator is a potty mouth, no doubt about that. Lopez as himself is quite intense but very different, and he explains in this talk in Troy, NY, last year what's up with the foul language. It's a gag and meant to be funny.
I understand he's Puerto Rican, lives in Vancouver, BC, and is primarily a documentary filmmaker. "END:CIV -- Resist or Die" is the movie he's been promoting heavily for the past year or more. It's a very serious cautionary tale about our culture of systemic violence and exploitation and the resulting human and environmental wreckage.
Interesting - I saw a plug for END:CIV on Daily Censored, I think and went to the web site but I don't have an hour and fifteen minutes to watch the movie right now. Can't say as I disagree with any of his ideas, though. Hierarchy and dominance, once again. Hanging out on Peak Oil sites leads to the same conclusions. Is it possible to avoid the looming train wreck?
