Greetings good citizen, the 'holiday season' is upon us and what is the principal takeaway out of control consumerism shows us?
Let's pause a moment and reflect on the first part of the word Holiday...which is actually the bastardization of the term 'holy day'.
Everybody knows and this is news to no one...but how did these religious paid days off turn into the commercial bonanza they represent for the predatory commerce system?
I'm tempted to draw the parallel of the Wise men bearing gifts but this distracts from the fact that all three of them were 'kings'...and what's the difference between 'kings' and ordinary people?
Right in one, kings are RICH. Bobo, not so much.
Why do the masses studiously ignore the glaring divide between themselves and their self-proclaimed 'betters'?
Because ENVY is a sin. Say one word about the 'divide' and what are you hit with? They call YOU Jealous!
Um, further distancing themselves from their criminal acts the feckless insist they 'earned' what they have by blending their luck with their cleverness [when a five minute conversation with any one of them would debunk that nonsense out of hand.]
It is here, good citizen, that we are forced to chant the refrain...[how f'n dumb are you?]
Of course were we to be honest about the circumstances we have no control over, 'stupidity' and a healthy regard for making the best of a bad situation wins out because the truth is NOBODY can be trusted when the self-serving make the rules.
Problem with the 'more for me' system is it operates on the same mythical belief system that capitalism operates on, first it sets resources to 'infinite' then it exploits scarcity...[chant the refrain!]
Did I mention you can fill an individual's head with nonsense and they are still capable of functioning, er, 'adequately' because 'normally' is wide of the benchmark...[It's WHY we have trigger happy cops and bankers who are both heartless AND mindless.]
Truly bizarre is how the phrase 'Shoot first and ask questions later' started off as 'gallows humor' that made light of the fact that (prior to forensics) dead humans told no tales.
Ya don't suppose 'modern policing' has embraced this truth, expecting their 'brothers' to cover their trail and ignore what the 'evidence' tells them.
Not that it matters, they got the prosecutors on board with the whole notion that good people make mistakes and wearing a badge puts you in a position where you ordinarily wouldn't be so if you kill an unarmed kid, the LEAST the injustice system can do is look the other way and REFUSE TO PROSECUTE!
Innocent until PROVEN guilty...if you were toting a badge at the time of the crime anyway. Otherwise proximity to the victim is enough to be convicted of murdering your own mother. [Gotta keep those conviction rates up and show the public they are doing the job of keeping them 'safe'. If a 'few' innocent people end up behind bars, it's not the corrupt system's fault but the 'inscrutable' Will of God that is responsible.
Most of you 'tuned out' when I presented the unvarnished truth about the self-serving 'instrument' that protects the thieves who rule us. You don't like that 'truth' either but the facts that you are unwilling to face doesn't alter them.
The 'challenge' facing humanity is crafting a system that is tamper-proof {Like ASP.] While the term task suggests avoidability nothing could be further from the truth. If we refuse to change the feckless will end us all to cover their crimes and avoid prosecution for stealing what wasn't theirs to begin with.
Tis the season to embrace the fact that 'More for ME' puts the interests of the individual ahead of the survival of the species.
Doesn't help that most of you can't conceive of a punishment that fits this crime outside an eternity in the cesspool it creates.
Is the 'hell'?
None of us are getting out of there, which is a mighty terrifying idea all by itself.
Merry Christmas everybody!

ReplyDeleteYOUR refusal to embrace this truth seals our doom!

ReplyDeleteEver wonder why financial planners exist? It's because the rich need YOU to think making money is difficult rather than the truth that they are stick-up artists...and there's no 'art' in 'armed robbery'.
Problem with the 'more for me' system is it operates on the same mythical belief system that capitalism operates on, first it sets resources to 'infinite' then it exploits scarcity...
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the definition of being 'chumped'?

What if there is 'no escape'? You die only to return here again and do it ALL over...for eternity. Would it stop once the planet is blown to bits or would we keep coming back as some pitiful version of ourselves, reliving the same mistakes...forever?
