sham democracy

This is a sham democracy. The leaders our in the pockets of the powerful. The powerless are amused and distracted by wedge issues and ism are provided to frustrated people whose life chances have diminished. We are grasping at tribalism because they intentionally rigged the game so the tribalism offer the illusion of power. There is no power for the bottom class unless the bottom class unite and overturns the whole shit. Your tribalism and weak nationalism can't save you. The economy is global. The financial interest our global and the belief that some past it's prime nationalism is going to do anything other than give crumbs to a starving alienate body politic is pointless. If the solutions come from the top they are no solutions they are attempt at silencing the rage. Let the rage breathe and see what the rage can produce. Get use to the discomfort as opposed to coveting the comfort of peaceful oppression. We must revolt.

Zombies

The Zombie existence has been normalized. I don't know how you escape from the zombie induced societal context that we toil in. This is a raw deal. However, the raw deal is better than the unknown so we clutch desperately to this raw deal like it is something more beautiful.

ugly place

I am sad to live in this world. It is so ugly. The way we treat each other. The destruction we bring to ourselves and the planet. It is just ugly and everyday can remind of the ugliness. The ugliness is front and center unless we have numbed ourselves to the concerns of the trivial. Maybe, the trivial is all that matters. It just seems that the larger thing of importance have the potential to damage our attempts at trivial meaning. The world is simply an ugly place.

horrible


Does integrity mean anything any more? Are we all chasing our naked self-interest and then providing justifications for why those actions don't make us horrible? Are we simply horrible masquerading as something different? It seems like the evidence is piling up that we are horrible. Integrity has not value in the marketplace where everything is for sale. Our labor is for sale so it should not be surprising that our values are to. We are chasing and rationalizing our self-interest regardless of the carnage that it causes. We want what we want to hell with the consequences. It seems this mindset will lead us to a destruction we definitely deserve.

don't care

The elite don't care. We have no control over the levers to make them care. Their contempt is as clear as day and yet the rationalization of failed democracy from corporate media is laughable. We must fucking revolt. What the fuck is left. The fear of the unknown is enough for us to accept fuck up answers. The answers that the elite are providing is bullshit. The scapegoating of working people. The exhalation of a rigged failed market driven capitalistic nightmare is nauseating. Fuck the whole system and all those that protect it with their fear, obedience  and apathy. There is no need to protect this nightmare upon freedom is buried.

The deafening sound of silence

Whether it be the silent in my classrooms or the relative silence that echoes throughout our society. It is all so deafening. As we march towards more war under the guise of regime change or the disposal of bad people. What if your government is bad? What if your leaders are evil? What happens when you see through the self-righteousness which is simply guise that imperialism wears to fuck up the world? This noise is blaring in my ears every second of every day but the silence in my classrooms is deafening. I don't see any real resistance on the horizon. All I see is silence as we march in lockstep with a society intent of destruction. The baby boomers don't give a shit about 20 years from now because they don't expect to be here.

Oligarchy

The powerful stole the remnants of democracy a long time ago. The leaders serve the interest of the corporations. These politicians have no concern for the masses. They are the epitome of naked self-interest at the expense of the collective. The elections our shame and the will of the people is continuously ignored. Revolt and pressure from the streets are the negotiation tools of the masses. Accept of the status quo simply allows for further confiscation of public wealth into privatized hands. These fucking leaders are corrupt and embarrassment. Fuck both parties and their stranglehold over discourse and their continued march towards further exploitation of the peasant class. Those barely hold on, close to oblivion with one bad break need to wrestle this corrupt system from the corrupt leaders pretending to govern. Revolt, is the only thing left.

The degradation of labor

Workers are all over the world are exploited. This is the context to view labor. If you do not own your labor them you're a slave to the whims and desires of forces outside your control. We are either in control or controlled. If you're controlled then there is no way for you to be free. Economic slavery is the model of capitalism. So, whenever you see workers you will see exploitation. Whether it be the exploitation of bodies, minds or spirits. Capitalism is intent to make robots out of us all. There is no escape imperialistic capitalism is a worldwide beast devouring everything in it's wake. The majority us live lives as victims of system that see us as replaceable. This truth leads us to seek escapism or to envision utopia. Utopia is simply a tool that the powerless created to soothe the reality that there they were born in a hierarchy where their struggle is invisible. Fuck the system. Or more realistically the system is fucking us.

power

The fact that we do not exert any power over the conditions we find intolerable says something about power. We allow for ourselves to be victim. Government is not god. Systems cannot save you. They will only serve to further exploit those that believe don't matter. The reality is there needs to be a resurgence of life. One must conquer the fear that they will die. Fear of death makes cowards of us all. To simply accept conditions we know are to our detriment. Somebody will win and someone will lose. What side will you be on.

What if this was the bad place? Watching the show the bad place has me thinking if of our notion of heaven h

punch clocks

We are so happy for Fridays. The crumbs of freedom is enough to satisfy those who punch clocks for a living. The way society is arranged is bullshit. This fucked up arrangement is the fall. The reality that heaven is of leisure while hell is a place of toil. This is the bad place. We punch clocks

ilusions is compulsion

Freedom is an illusion. You have choices given to you. What you really want does not matter? Is that something that we ever really think about? Most of the wisdom that is needed to make the right choices is given to you painfully after the fuck ups. So, hindsight is 20/20 but the shit in the rearview can't really be revisited. So, the reality is you can't do shit with the knowledge of the past. History is doomed to repeat or you could simply say that the fuck ups of history simply manifest in the possibilities of the future. The story is continuous and you do not get the luxury of cutting of one chapter. No, this shit is interconnected so the failures and the mistakes are etched as strongly as the victories.

Fake News

For the most part this shit has always been fake. The information was never designed to empower. It was always meant to shape a zombie population. We are the zombies and we are all walking slowly towards death clinging to the idea that something better exist after. I don't know how to wrap my head around the idea that utopia exist. It seems for more likely that human hands have built the vehicle of civilization and it will soon crash because the drivers of drunk off the alluring alcohol of hubris. Utopia is for those on the bottom who can't shake the notion of fairness. The belief that one deserves more is the biggest impediment to acceptance. I don't know if I know anyone who feels like they have gotten what they deserve. Even the ones who feel they have everything.

regular people

America is simply the vehicle for the interest of elites. Regular people don't matter. Societies have not progressed as far as they would like to believe. Those born on the bottom for the most part will remain at or near the bottom. The puppet governments for the true masterminds have no concern for us. We seek to this blunt reality by clinging to racial identities and wearing the mask of victims to wrestle concessions away from an apparatus that could give two fucks about our existence. At some point the regular people need to fucking revolt against the system that we were born into. The vehicles of the elite can't continue to trample over the regular people.

Money Tree Normalcy

The fact that payday loans shops are the norm. This should tell about the state of making it in America in 2017. The majority are not. They are will step away from poverty. This is a feudal system in 2017. The majority can purchase distraction to distract them from the reality that they are owned and will never work hard enough or have enough to buy their freedom. Money tree, that is funny because money does not grow on trees but debts does. This system is fucked and debt is at the end of the rigged economy rainbow. Stop seeking to escape and lie to yourself that this system can be changed. It cannot and it has most us shackled by the debt chains. The misery only alleviated by the allure of the trinkets to distract. This whole thing is fucked and we should stop pretending that it is not.

The implosion

Can the implosion of the NFL be seen as an implosion of corporate greed? The NFL has been dealing with the issue of never-ending expansion. The NFL network a money grab. Red Zone, which further stunts the miniscule attention span of the sports fan. The quality has diminished. The Brand has stifled the talents of the individuals. Individualism is destroyed in order to push some collectivist bullshit. These are things that can be seen as reasons behind the slow crumble of the NFL.
