And now that it’s officially Saturday, I’ll go back to my political soapbox.
For the first time in years, everyone in this country has been swept up in the maelstrom of politics, economics and reality. There’s no more standing on the sidelines – people are losing their jobs, their property and – in some cases – their lives and the lives of their families. The shelters of apathy and intentional ignorance are no longer safe.
On one front, you have a virtually limitless war going on in the Middle East, as well as a fight brewing between old Cold War enemies. On another, the economy is falling apart in some places, and barely holding together in others, as corruption and stupidity are worth more than jobs or fellow citizens. Then there’s the growing divide between people who call themselves different political terms.
The reality is that the situations we’re in are literally all moronic. And somewhat ironic.
There’s call of some sort of “revolution” by radical, noisey, dishonorable monkies who think they are somehow more right than others. You see it on the TV and the Internet. Rise up, they say, rise up and dispose of the system. It makes for good television – I give them that. The media is literally thriving despite the fluctuating markets. It doesn’t matter who you blame – CNN, MSNBC, fucking Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, the View, whatever your flavor of hatred this week – because we’re all to blame.
And who the fuck are you going to revolt against? As many cries as there are for it, there’s at least five dozen different beliefs as in what the God damn solution is. Talk your little fat heads off, please. You pull that pin on that grenade (I find it an appropriate euphenism), you better be prepared to have 59 other grenades thrown at you. The revolutionaries will eat each other alive until there’s no one left to flock to their piss poor banners. And just get a lot of people killed, hurt or lost in the mess.
So I emplore you – if you happen upon this blog and this post – that you sit the fuck down and think about reality and the fragility of the moment. You are not indestructable. The US is so far from indestructable. Your friends, your families, your ideas – they are all so very not indestructable. These little “revolutions” stupid, outspoken people are planning – they are very much like nuclear weapons.
No one in range is going to survive the outcome if they go off.
Visionaries … JFC, none of the little organisers of coups and revolutions and all that jazzy bullshit are real visionaries. Sadistic, narcissitic whiners full of crap and hate – that’s what they really are. Those shitheads don’t have a clue, and they don’t have the guts. A real person would stand up peacefully – it takes more courage to do things the right way than the violent way.
If that offends anyone, good. Take your crap and go peddle it somewhere else. Preferrably not in my country, you little ungrateful, glory-seeking parasites.
…
And now that I’ve said my little piece for the weekend, I’m going to switch gears again and let you know that I welcome all intelligent, optimistic people to share their thoughts and prayers with me. We’ll get through this, and we’ll do it with our wits and our minds. And most importantly, with honor.
