Greetings good citizen, this could be one of the most difficult essays I've ever tackled, it is one where I ask YOU good citizen, 'What are you thinking?'
One of the 'points of pride' of this page, one in a vast blogosphere competing for your attention, is my candor regarding my 'mission'...my mission is not to TELL YOU WHAT TO THINK, it is to provide you with SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT!
So when I look out across the rubble strewn landscape I often ask myself, 'what are they thinking?'
I, er, 'discount' much of what I witness from the corporate owned media because it's usually the 'wrong' message/part of the story. What bothers me is what are the people I know on Facebook thinking when they parrot the ugliness being fed to them by the corporate monster-making machine?
[If YOU are parroting their BS then YOU are a MONSTER that THEY 'created'!]
Which is to tell you something you're definitely old enough to know...THINKING ISN'T 'OPTIONAL'!
I'm a member of the 'Never Hillary' club but that doesn't mean I support the other side of the same coin, Trump!
If there is one lesson to be learned from this 'charade' the media calls an 'election' that message is 'WE'RE DOING IT WRONG!'
The question I have...and this is pointed at my 'Facebook Friends' (although 'peers' is closer to the mark.) Did YOU drink the 'Fiscally conservative, socially Liberal Kool-Aid' that was so popular when we were young?
Worse, are you a 'closet Libertarian?'
Do YOU vote conservative because they support a 'strong military'? Does the conservative stance on 'Law & Order' [resulting in our burgeoning Police State] only strengthen your conservative ardor?
Have you come to believe that the non-working public is generally a waste of perfectly good 'butt-wipe'?
Did you spend your 'downtime' listening to Rush Limbagh?
Because I've got some bad news for you...you have a head full of rocks, making you about as smart as said rocks.
EVERYTHING Mr. Trump is complaining about is ALL DUE TO [your beloved] CONSERVATIVE IDEAOLOGY!
It is the very definition of INSANITY to keep voting for 'more of the same', each time expecting a different outcome.
Now, most of you are OLD ENOUGH to have early stage Alzheimers, are you so STUPID that you are unable to think outside the box?
If the 'left/right' choices don't work, pick the middle!
The left doesn't exist and the right is absolutely INSANE so, what are you gonna do? Hold your nose and pick one or do you think it's high time we change the system?
If the choices presented to you are 'unacceptable', DON'T ACCEPT THEM!
This need not be difficult. [In fact it's crap like this that brands our species as 'lazy'.]
Understand, I fully appreciate the 'real problem' facing us is the 'lack of choices', even YOU aren't 'completely stupid'.
Nobody wants to 'stand up' because standing out is what gets you killed and a dead patriot does no one any good.
So let's examine this hand we've been dealt and think about our 'options', shall we?
We can march in the streets and beg for the self-interested to cut us down, en mass [they'd like nothing better!]
OR we can just stop participating, go on strike and let the chips fall where they may.
They'll play 'stupid' at first, then they'll 'order' us back to work. Then they'll threaten to fire us and replace us with 'scabs'. Then they'll follow through on that threat.
And that's when the riots will start. [Our 'counterplay' to their 'strike breaking' playbook is blocking transportation so the scabs can't report.] We won't be 100% effective but it will work 'well enough'.
Now, I'm open to suggestions but like all potential solutions, they 'must be effective'. We don't have the time to 'circulate a petition' and 'lobby' politicians to gain their support, both are 'non-starters'.
Things won't change because we 'wish' they would. Change comes when all of the alternatives are exhausted. If they were 'listening' we wouldn't need to have this conversation.
Making the fact we are here in the first place more than somewhat disturbing.
Remember, it's NOT my purpose to tell you what to think, my goal is to provide you with 'SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT!'
Thank you for letting me inside your head,
Gegner
PS: To my overseas readers, this isn't a USA party, you too are invited because it's a Human Party!
On of the central pillars of A Simple Plan is that it will eventually be 'universal' (because anti-exploitation is EVERY human's right!)
Election day is November 8th here in the US...when they 'coronate' the 'queen' (or, the horror, the new Oaf) the strike begins!
Please join us if you want a better planet for us all!
