Greetings good citizen, civilization runs on TRUST...so when the public no longer trusts its institutions, the whole edifice collapses, usually disastrously.
Perhaps that is what is behind the dual tent poles of my Country/President right or wrong...which is the very definition of wrongness.
The LAND you come from only matters to THOSE WHO CLAIM TO OWN IT, you are, first and foremost HUMAN, regardless of how you 'feel' about it...(moron.)
Not your fault your thinking parts don't work so good considering the endless piles of bullshit you've been handed to process as 'the truth' [I got no less than three e-mails with 'the truth' in the header this morning...and no, they didn't say the same thing.] Reminder: Gegner never tells you 'what to think' it is his mission to provide you with 'something to think about!'
Disagree with me as you see fit, the choice is yours.
I think you disagree with me at your own peril but that is my choice.
But I/we digress, let us return to the 'no confidence' issue.
Those who blindly support criminal actions out of 'loyalty' then call it 'patriotism' are foolish indeed and it seems there is no shortage of people who place a higher value on patriotism than on honor.
Shocking is the number of people who fail to comprehend that 'the land that they love enough to die for' is the product of militaristic jingoism!
Hand in hand with this is notion that a mate is worth dying for...often that is not only temporary but fickle as all hell! [Leading most often to that rocky place of 'I love you, just not like that!' meant to mollify the overly ardent.]
Zealotry is rightly condemned whenever it is observed because feelings oftentimes defeat thinking...and so many atrocities are committed in the name of 'passion'.
After committing a 'bountiful deed' what is the first 'realization' of the perp? I WASN'T thinking! What have I done...
With this as a given, anybody who questions your 'loyalty' is a zealot pretty much incapable of thinking much less appreciating the consequences of their behavior.
What does confidence and loyalty have to do with our crumbling civilization?
This whole shitshow runs on trust and you can't trust anyone as far as you can throw them...
So 'trust me' capitalism doesn't work but it is the 'only game in town' and you have to wonder about that.
Where does this leave the 'go along to get along' crowd? Constantly testing/demanding loyalty.
Worse, it becomes an exercise in proving you are 'the most loyal' of all of your peers [it really is a stretch to call them 'friends'...fellow travellers is closer to the mark.]
Why don't you have 'friends'...because friendship starts with honesty and most people wouldn't let their guard down long enough to 'win' a friend. To have a friend you have to be a friend...and that means different things to different people.
How many people do you 'trust' and how many you can count on are two very telling factors when measuring how delusional your judgment is.
My circle is tiny indeed because of the three things people hate, cameras, mirrors and the truth.
When you look into your heart, what stares back at you?
Remember, this shitshow runs on TRUST and there is nothing more capricious.
Are we doomed?
Until next time, Head.
