See what I see

You wouldn’t need bombs. You’d just: Break up the family unit Demonize masculinity and traditional roles Elevate emotion over logic Confuse moral frameworks Rewrite history into guilt and shame Replace identity with fragmentation Worship weakness, punish strength Invert values until resentment = justice What this is describing is a society trained to self-police, self-hate, and collapse…

Tip culture is getting out of hand. You can’t scroll social media without seeing a post of a server putting someone on blast for not tipping, and many times for tipping, just not tipping enough, according to them. 15% used to be the standard for receiving quality service, but now servers will shame customers for leaving that amount and even go as far as using that example to state to the rest of…

The American public school system does nothing to equip it’s citizenry for life in America, post K-12. It is designed to cause a person to struggle, be helpless, ignorant, and overall unable to operate in society. No one is taught how to do taxes, why we pay them, or even what they are much of the time. What kids are taught under government supervision has gotten to be less and less useful over…

The formidable years of learning in school. The molding of character and personality, along with core beliefs, and fundamental understandings of the world and what it consists of. Relying on parents, teachers, and authorities to fill in the bulk of this data. In the last few decades things have been trending towards parents playing less and less of that role, with teachers and authority figures…

Everyone wants a return to normal. Except they don’t. They comply. The government says to comply and things will return to normal. The irony here is that by complying, things will never go back to normal. To really return to anything resembling “normal” people just have to say “no” and live their lives. We don’t need permission from authority figures to live our lives. They have just scared us…

Minimum wage and how it hurts the unskilled worker.

Imagine a world where if you needed a photographer lets say, no matter how simple or small of a gig it may be, that you were required to pay a minimum of a thousand dollars. People just starting out in the craft would never get hired or gain experience because if someone HAS to spend at least one thousand dollars, they are going to want to get all they can for that price. Minimum wage jobs are…

All individuals are in enemy territory

You can’t wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.– Navajo Proverb A discussion or argument can reach a point where one side becomes aware of the fact that the other side has committed to a lie, making the continuation of such action to be of no value and a complete waste of time. Scared of the truth, maybe believing the lie can lead to a greater good, or just demoralized and falling in…

How awesome was 2020?

In the not so distant future, I think we will look back to 2020 and say, “how awesome was 2020? ah, the good ole’ days of 2020.” Compared to what I think lies ahead of us in this country, 2020 will seem like such simple times of food and alcohol home delivery, subsidized by government stimulus checks. We will truly know just how much we have taken for granted the complex civilization’s miracles…

The Virtue of Causing Hurt

THE TRUTH HURTS

If you are going to tell the truth, you have to be willing to hurt someone. You must have within yourself the capacity to inflict pain, and watch suffering as a person comes to grips with whatever reality shaking statements that may have been made to them. A wound will be caused.

HURTING PEOPLE HURT PEOPLE

When you hurt someone with the truth, rather than comfort with a…

I find those that have outward resentment that they openly express towards God, Jesus, and religion in general, atheists and nihilists, are also hedonists. Living a life lacking in meaning will leave one desiring comfort and pleasure above all. Feeling good becomes the highest priority and intention. All of us prefer comfort and pleasure over pain and suffering. It’s the default for humans to…

This world should not be.

A world in which horrific atrocities occur, such as the one we live in, should not be. Slavery, torture, death, lies, deceit, betrayal, and every other horrible thing that can, and do happen to people, even children, are realities far too terrible to come to terms with for some, or many.

Rejection of reality and what it is.

A deep resentment and hatred that consumes people in the form of love and…

Female Kangaroos have pouch privilege

There’s a joke in an episode of Seinfeld where a joke was made involving the idea that male kangaroos don’t have a pouch and therefore have “pouch envy”. They have things to carry, too, right?

They would enjoy the benefits of the pouch and wouldn’t it be great to be among the pouch havers. There is work to be done, and there will be striving towards a solution to be more like those that are…
