yes it still exists, enquire at your local picnic spot/bench the next sunday afternoon, (weather permitting)

pointlesspicnics are against consumer/work culture
 
One of these days this insane politics of gesture will become so out there it'll swing right back round and become progressive. In the meantime French workers have a general strike and we have nearly-pointless picnics against stuff in general. I think I might cry :(
 
It's not all bad - there's the unison strike on tuesday, and the AUT stuff too...

(no, you're right - this country sucks :( )
 
Yes we must continue our struggles and continue to visualize a world

without regular patterns, but there's more we can do. Imagine a worldwide

network of anti capitalists, people in every town and every village, young

and old, fat and thin there really are such people but we don't always know

who each other are. We don't wear labels and we're not networking.
Now the idea is simple. Let's bring all our ideas together and meet up at

public spaces locally early on Sunday afternoons, we can start having a

ongoing forum with no structure, just a meeting and a sharing of ideas, a

chance to chill (even sleep) and nothing more, no speeches, no rules. It

doesn't matter if you even turn up, there's always next week. Cake too.

Take drugs if you must, no one cares.
When the idea catches on, and it will, it will be possible to walk into any

town at noon and find a group of people with vaguely similar aims spawled

and leaping all around, this will be extremely empowering for all the

individuals involved and the causes they support. It's called the

pointlesspicnic.pointless picnic needs you. Spread the word.

OOCH...that hurt.. ;) i hope it wasn`t you posting under "crimper" in the general thread. Was it? but i haven`t seen you here for a while now and fanta bless him who`s been missing for a while turns up similtaniously. do you share a house????
 
there's been picnics in UK Argentina USA Canada France Italy Spain Germany Australia NZ
Belgium Poland Holland Denmark and India as far as I am aware, they're very relaxed and normal affairs, which the authorities find difficult to handle, due to their general fuckwittedness. So it's fun and not in anyway compulsorary, more compelling........
 
IMHO most protests are really just jamborees for serial underachievers, weirdos, dropouts, trustafarians, people with poor haircuts and people looking for a ruck.

There are of course honourable exceptions but as a rule the vanity of those protesting is served not the alledged cause.

Given that who cares if the picnic is wank, it looks like fun and that must be a good thing.

I'm hard pressed to find a thread on here where some one suggests something you don't slate. Just out of interest (genuine question) what would you approve of?

You left out shite documentary making wankers.
 
Sorry, my mistake. I do of course include myslf in that group. I have been going on demos for eons.

In my teens I remember the great feeling of power and really doing somethnig that mattered, in my twenties the focus became more the social aspect, the team building thing if you like, my thirties were a bad time and I didnt get out much, and now in my forties my enthusiasm has been rekindled by film making. I often do film demos and local festivals because I enjoy it and like to record what goes on for those who might be intersted.

Perhaps I sounded overly cynical hence 888's rahter idiotic comment. I thonk people should dmeonstrate but I have become convinced they do little above forging alliances in a group, very essentail clearly, and providing an outlet for show offs, like me. All good stuff so chill my luvver !

yes pet, everyone who takes issue with republican slaughter is clearly a closet Willie McCrea fan. :rolleyes:
 
pointless picnics have got off to a cracking start in 2006 in the northern hemisphere, I don't know whats been happenning in the southern hemisphere. They're so chilled and without
 
They are too busy fighting poverty, water cut offs and in many cases, (though less these days) RW death squads....

Are you having a pointless picnic today at an unspecified place??? it's all about consumerism and wage slavery, hopefully some good ideas about the northern hemispheres diabolical attitude towards the southern hemisphere will be shared,
 
just a quick update,
the picnics seem to have really taken off recently, the french students stopped a train with one, they're doing them in, among other places, pennsylvania, wiltshire and essex and the discussion group has grown by 60% in a week and ........it's all pointless:)
