The Man is the establishment; the one with power; with money. The one with the ability to hold you back and keep you down. He is the police. The government. The schools. The job. The boss.
The
concept of The Man is no longer a black-white thing. We’re
not talking about race. We aren’t talking about man vs. woman,
either.
We are talking about anyone holding anyone else down. “You have the power and I don’t.” “You’ve got the money, and you make sure I can’t get it.”
Everyone has a Man. By now, you’ve hopefully figured out that Bill Gates is The Man. But did you know that he also has a Man? Sure! We all do.
The Man is everywhere. He controls everything. The Man is the invisible hand that pulls your strings.
So, what does this site have to do with The Man? At stickingittotheman.com, we celebrate - what else? “Sticking it to the man!”
Sticking it to the man does not mean beating up your boss in the parking lot. But it might mean stealing piles of Post-It Notes and making personal calls from work. It means David beats Goliath. It means the original Napster and peer to peer. Getting even with The Man means contacting your congressman or boycotting a product you don't believe in. It means sneaking into that second movie for free because They ripped you off on the first one. Need to do something illegal for the boss? Uh-uh. No way. He's on his own.
Think Robin Hood - only urban style and without the green tights.
To beat the man, we expose His dirty tricks and celebrate those heroes of the cause that get ahead at The Man's expense.
Brothers and sisters– this is your struggle. Join the revolution! It is time to stick it to the man!
