Shearing “Sheeple”

Once upon a time the word “sheeple” was a clever little riposte reflecting the frustration of some parts of our culture with others who seemed to be thoughtless and easily led.

That time was around the time Hendrix got done playing the Star-Spangled Banner at Woodstock, and since then it’s usually more a like a trite contrived attempt at in-group signalling because it generally comes from a fairly well-defined range of the ideological spectrum.

This is a snarky li’l rant about how lame it is to be saying it fifty years after the last time it meant anything and thinking you’ve just won the game.
