Complain

Greetings good citizen, we are of two minds when it comes to our complaints. In our typical bi-polar mindset we don't want to hear others bitch yet advise all in earshot that if we stop complaining call 911 because we are dead.

You don't want to hear it and yet you won't shut up.

In fact the media hoses you with a endless stream of 'complaints' ranging from your own backyard to issues halfway around the planet. [Is it still 'news' if it is somebody else's bitch?]

Um, not to put too fine a point on it but if we aren't bitchin' we'd have nothing to say...and since it has never happened no one knows if this would be a good thing [blessed silence or the sound of profound loneliness.]

To, er, express our opinion (more or less constantly) is part of the 'human condition'. Look at social media and all the mimics scrolling endlessly for something to...bitch about.

IF the censors online would allow the rigid middle finger emoji we would have to wade through a forest of f-u's pretty much constantly.

Ever wish for a thumbs down option? [Or perhaps something a little stronger...]

Wanna break the public's addiction with social media...let people readily express their displeasure and people would stop looking because social media would no longer be the weather vane of social consciousness it currently is.

Like yesterday's post regarding dumb. It don't take a lot to encourage the, um, low wattage types, which is how Rush Limbaugh radicalized the Bible Belt and turned them into Trump supporters. [The empty mind seizes eagerly upon new ideas. It doesn't care if these ideas are shunned because they are loaded with consequences, Bobo is just looking for a new piece of crap to play with.]

Just sparked an idea...like the 'rings of hell' my idea of sorting society into 'enclaves' of the like-minded [major obstacle is humans are incredibly fickle. What if our biker can't decide if they like butterflies more than they embrace their homosexuality? Having everybody in their own individual box sort of defeats the idea of unifying the like-minded and building stronger communities.]

If we were to 'sort' people by...'mental horsepower' and provide them with their own community, it would serve to restore our forward social momentum by giving people an objective...and also providing them with a mirror, that they aren't alone in the world.

The social cohesion achieved in the 50's was done via the 'keeping up with the Joneses' ladder [although the kids of the Sixties rejected that idea...(as kids) They 'grew' into their parents once they lost their youthful rebelliousness.]

Don't suppose it is why the media is forever 'splitting hairs'?

Common ground is kryptonite for the swindlers among us, confusion is goal and they do a damn fine job of stoking it at every opportunity.

Now, if we were to step back and gaze at the larger picture, what would we see?

A species that divided itself to specialize, conquered and then forgot they got there via cooperation...because the swindlers shifted the focus of society from cooperation to competition. If we can't 'unite' we can't prosecute them for their crimes against humanity.

The Zacks of the world are indeed 'united' and defend their control of the justice system/murder machine with every fiber of their essence because failure is not an option.

For the moment they have the upper hand and they have succeeded largely because they have cultivated the collapse of critical thinking skills so vital to Liberty.

Some would argue you can't lose what you never had but you also can't develop abilities that remain overlooked and even actively discouraged.

If you have a nickel for every time you heard 'I don't pay you to think' we'd all be quite well off, wouldn't we?

Is a complaint still a complaint if you do it articulately?

[Rhetorical question, of course it is.]

Thanks for letting me ride your mind,
