A friend of mine turned me onto this video and I could believe it. It reminded me of something from a movie. Maybe Escape From NY or some other post apocalyptic film from the eighties. I feel the people at the NRA could use a big hug. Are they crying? Do they feel segregated?
All I keep hearing from people is how the country is divided. Yeah. I guess the video above will unit us. (That was sarcasm for those who don’t know me)
I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know.
I do know things will never change. Chop a head off and another one will grow. Things haven’t changed since the beginning of man. People will never unite as long as they never learn to stand together.
I’m talking every single person stand against every political and corporate and religious system fueled by money and greed.
And they will never learn to stand together as long as there are others to tell them they are right.
Wrote a new sci-fi story this week at 4,783 words so far. Should finish the draft tomorrow. Wandered around it. Had no idea where it was going. (I never outline, everything’s in my head, but just ideas, even with novels) Did it have a right or a left political slant? Seems I made fun of both. Cool. But it still could be considered too polemic like most of my other work. I’ll try not to worry about. The world is different now. Money options are different now.
Been watching these classes on Calling Bullshit put out by The University of Washington. It’s a one credit course that they offer and so far seems interesting. A lot of it I’m familiar with but I’m learning new theories on the construction of bullshit. Life has always been full of illusion and delusion. Especially with our government.
It didn’t start with Trump and his administration; he just brought the best game and players. He’s also inspired the worst in both parties. I’ve seen a lot of bullshit in the liberal left too. Many memes that are so absurd. I’m at the point were nothing surprises me about Trump but when I see these ridiculous memes on the web I would have to be a fucking idiot to believe he did or said that.
I never considered my self a Democrat or lefty. I’m mistaken for one all the time by angry conservatives and Republicons. No, if I had to label my political affiliation I would say anarchist or progressive. Anarchist don’t want to destroy the government, we just don’t need the government to control us into doing the right thing. I know what’s right and can do it on my own. I don’t need the law to tell me what is right. Most likely I can be arrested for doing what is right.
I vote Democrat since they share the same goals as me. No, Dems are not perfect. Don’t expect them to be. Never expect a politician to be perfect. But at least a Dem gives to the country. It’s part of their agenda. A Republicon’s agenda states that it must away. Lately there are more progressive Democrats popping up locally since Sanders came around. Good sign, no?
Anyway. No matter what political party, seeing the truth is always a good thing. To figure out the truth you need three things:
What you learn from experience
What you learn from a book (preferably non-fiction)
What you learn from other people’s experience (people in your face to face life, not Facebook and Twitter)
Mixed those three things and at the core is the truth.
