If Wall Street needs the money so bad, why don’t they go get jobs? What gets me isn’t just the peeping uncle Tom crap or the bridging between intellectual property and identity theft, but real-time social engineering, the down-playing and over-amplifying. Opinions are supposed to be like assholes but social media’s all replication and repeating with nobody bringing anything to the table for fear of coming across as problematic to whichever brand. I’d bet the farm paper stock prices skyrocketed in the 1980s and early 90s to goad people away from keeping private journals and self-publishing zines and underground newspapers, onto virtual false equivalencies. The people with social networking profiles are the absolute worst people, enablers of all that troubles them and hiding in a pocket dimension for fear of coming across as problematic to whichever brand. To be on social media is to be pliant and compliant and dumber than the icons lifted on high. You ain’t as special as you fear.
When I lose a follower and honestly can’t think of who it was is the closest I’ll come to godliness. As a guy who was homeless for years, forgotten while alive IRL, I think those people who wish to justify their own creature comforts as necessary to survival are proven wrong by homeless generally. And that strength terrifies them, by choice or by fate the strength to not live beyond one’s means. The business interests of USA foreign policy are predominately why “illegals” leave their countries and domestic propaganda is why they come here to the states. Enabling and empowering what troubles them. But if your house were burning down, would you rather the firefighters stop and ask your political or religious beliefs before lifting a finger? On the olden days of farming families, recycling was known as “nothing is ever without purpose” as opposed to today’s world where nobody is permitted a purpose not pleasing to the dreams of another. Everyone can better warm up by burning off the bullshit. If Santa made the naughty list fully transparent it’d save so many important thoughts and feelings. Seeking out authority over the resources and opportunities of others isn’t helping them, it’s helping oneself to get carried aloft. If we stopped giving time and resource to the fantasies of artists and politicians, maybe we’d have more to spare reality.
But the people with absolute power over my life assured me it’s the ones with less than myself causing my issues! The homeless got me fired, the Palestinians reported my yard to the neighborhood association and orphans ruined my marriage!
Currencies were invented for persons incapable of doing for themselves, from achieving an education to having consensual sex to cooking and cleaning to rearing their own offspring. Heroes never need your sacrifices while villains are powerless without. The more wealth or power or authority someone has, the more codependent they are inherently, but western culture only ever hero-worships those who sacrifice anything other than themselves, their esteem always more important than the blood, sweat and tears of your time and space. Liberty is not a finite resource, there’s enough to go around. But no supremacy can stand tall without crippling everyone around it to create the illusion.
There is a commonality between arguing others somehow deserve less resource and opportunity than yourself or your icons, and insisting that the thoughts and feelings of yourself or your icons should be the responsibility or priority of others suffering their own. Making neither argument is how you create no problems.
The standards and practices of the establishment have always been defined by the most selfish among us though. The function of wealth is prosperity-indoctrinating the unwashed on the notion that entitlements and privileges are ever a thing found in nature.
