Complacency

-
I often wonder why I'm not one of those people who are happy being complacent. It boggles the mind how anyone could look around the world and not try to help others or improve it.

Honestly, I am jealous of those who can see the world around them burning or others suffering, and say to themselves, "Well it's not me." 

This seems to be the wealthy's attitude. How could one hoard so much money and pay your workers so little? Why would you let offers suffer, including your workers? Why do some get government contracts but then do not want to pay their fair of taxes? Why does our government do this?

But the complacency that bothers me the most are from middle-class and working-class people. It's alarming to me when they defend the morbidly wealthy. It's sickening. Like when you see working-class men protecting Walmart stores from looters during civil unrest or natural disaster. Why? Why would you risk your life for some wealthy fucks who pay their workers shit? Law and Order? So the Waltons can pay some fucking politicians to destroy labor laws? It makes no sense. But anyway, I can only guess there is some self-hating going on there. But then this self-hate leads to these same classes to punch down, when they should be punching up.  But what's worse is when they attack the poor or hate other groups for existing. Well, maybe, they aren't being complacent when they do or support shit like that, so they definitely should go back to it. Complacency is better than being a hateful asshole, I guess.

Maybe it's centuries of the brainwashing concept of heirarchy. I blame religion for this level of self-hating and brainwashing. I also blame other things. I also blame the morbidly wealthy. 

You know, it's pathetic to punch down. But we do, because of the idea that some middle-class and working-class think we owe our lives to the morbidly rich. We don't. They owe their lives to us. They owe our society to help the poor. THEY FUCKING OWE!

But, as you can see, I suck at being complacent. Even in the work place, I ask questions when I want. I've been fired a couple of times for it. Lawyers do not like being questioned, even in respectful tones. Though the first time I think he fired me because he had no intention of keeping me. I was there for 3 weeks (part-time) and then he went on vacation, and when he came back, he fired me. He said I made too many mistakes. My husband is convinced that he just used me to fill in for him while he was gone. I hate that guy.

The second time, I honestly think it was because they looked at my social media accounts and saw that I supported, Black Lives Matter. I will go into details some other time about it. They were a bunch of assholes anyway.  Who knew standing up for human rights was so controversial? I was there for a week.

I guess what's worse than being complacent would be hating others with vitriol all because of who they are. Yeah, we all have our prejudices, and full confession, I hate pedophiles, Nazis/White Nationalists, and that Orange Bastard. But I do have love for everyone else. (Maybe I hate that Fat Boy in North Korea too, I hate him and his fucking family. I wish I could help the North Koreans be rid...oh, I digress) 

I think if you are complacent, you need to stop, but do not join the hateful bastards who are promising tax cuts but give it to the millionaires and billionaires, instead of the normal folk, but then you decide to hate immigrants instead of the wealthy. I am not saying hate the wealthy. I am saying HOLD THEM FUCKING ACCOUNTABLE! THAT IS PUNCHING UP!  You understand?

Anyway, I do have some love for the complacent even though they couldn't give a shit about it.

Everything is Political.

The Trumper Troll Neighbor and Election Integrity

As the election draws closer, my nerves are in knots. Will the American voting public choose common sense and democracy, or will they choose a shit-show version of fascism that comes in orange and wears a red tie?  I have no faith in the American voting public at all, not since 2016. Actually, I am convinced that my fellow Americans are masochists and not the fun kind.   But before I get into my main topic, I have an interesting social media story to tell you all. (See my 10/14/24 post, "Troll or Not?" for background.) I just recently experienced someone who is in the Orange cult, in real life, it was my neighbor. She has been a “friend” on FB for a year, and I knew her political views, but I paid no attention to her except when she would post happy family pictures, because, regardless of someone’s political leanings, I always wish them love and it’s nice to see it.  So when she commented last week on my post about my inquiry about JD Vance’s name changes (there are three...

A Letter to the Voters of the Orange Motherf*cker: Peaceful Transfer of Power

Dear Asshole Americans who voted for the Orange Motherf*cker (especially family members), A few days ago was January 6, 2025, for those keeping track, it was a day in which Congress routinely certifies the Presidential Election. It felt normal, unlike the last Presidential election certification.  On January 6, 2021, our years of tradition and the core of our democracy was challenged for the first time when there was no peaceful transfer of power.  Instead we watched as "Americans" stormed the Capitol all in the name of saving their Orange Bastard messiah from being "cheated out of an election."  We all know, including you all, that it was a fucking lie from, to use Jon Stewart's words, a "whiny bitch".  The current election certification was completed without the horror that we witnessed four years ago. Your willful ignorance and its (Orange MFer from this point forward or "IT" as its pronoun) ego destroyed the revolutionary idea of a peacef...

No One Elected Elon Musk (Or Any Billionaire Overlord)

  It's all over the news and the observations about the power structure that now exists in the White House has been made perfectly clear.  The press conference in the Oval Office with Donald Trump at the desk, silent and only speaking when it seemed when he had permission, while Elon Musk, with his small son picking his nose, did all the talking. It's really a depressing scene as one of the tech oligarchs actually thinks that HE won the election, as the shadow of a man, Trump, who was elected sits there confused. (Maybe Musk did win, as it seems that he bought it.) The scene can be described as one writer on Substack, Nadine Smith, stated it was reminiscent of a scene from  Lord of The Rings: Two Towers,  where the villain was speaking for the cursed King who was bewitched by the Wizard Saruman. (You can go to Nadine Smith's Substack to read more: https://1nadinesmith.substack.com/p/musks-oval-office-power-play) Nadine Smith describes both the fictional and...
