degringoladeSo I am thinking about just getting rid of the pictures and art for a while. Can't really say why, just doesn't particularly appeal to me right now.
It was a lazy, lazy weekend. So lazy that I am now kinda bored. I did do some getting out, but not nearly enough. Read some of John Michael's new tentacle-trash which cheered me up immensely, but I have decided that he shouldn't really write love scenes. I don't mind the cross-pollination aspect of it or anything like that, but he doesn't really describe it that well.
Today's screed:
I am getting more and more concerned/nervous/paranoid about what is going on in the world. I talk with friends and the first thing that flies out of their mouth is a stream of venom directed toward the cheeto-head. I think that the guy is a clown, but the situations that are facing him are not "winnable". and he represents a country that has convinced itself that losing is the original sin.
Look, as a country we have gone batshit crazy. That is the simple truth of the matter. We have created a insular bubble where false beliefs are the gospel of truth and the simple truths are merely temporary aberrations in the path to our perfection and god-like existence. I think that the Donald represents the country brilliantly. The elite love the extra money he shovels their way. The proles like the loss of the burden of Obamacare and the extra coins coming in from his screwing over the bourgeoisie. Half of the "booj" (probably the lower half who actually do something) like him because, like Gordon Gecko, he reassures them that their greed and their shallowness are virtues.
The only folks who really, really hate him are the upper booj. These are the folks that went to school, bought the bullshit that the "educational" system spawned by the 60's cultural suicide attempt spewed out. They have created a new set of rules, based on whim and intentionally obscure French philosophers, that don't seem to reflect any common belief of the greater mass of the people, and, through their almost hereditary control of the media, have attempted to fob off on a unthinking populace as the "truth".
Look, we are living in a country that is prepping for a full on culture war. The government and the business world are built on debt and promises that simply cannot be met. The corporate structure of America is a pure oligarchy. The educational system is a train-wreck of trade school thinking, more appropriate to a corporate job training program than to an education.
Our military-industrial-congressional complex (that is Eisenhower's term, not mine) is completely out of control.
Nope, thinking that the Donald can get us out of this is a fools thought. Truthfully, when you look at it, the poor sap is just the latest incarnation of Louis XV.
Après moi, le déluge
