discouraged and mad [View all]
I am so heart sick about the news of the blueprint for a 2nd Trump presidency. I don't think he will win, but just the knowledge that these mother-fuckers are planning fascism for their benefit and have been waiting with lust for decades to finally and totally dismantle all obstacles to their wanton greed.
The rich, not all the rich, but the many rapaciously greedy rich power-mongers suck the blood, the minimal wealth and the security that allows a modestly dignified life from the rest of us. All the while destroying our planet, the very air we breathe, the water we drink and the very rain that falls. We are so accustomed to it we don't even see it in its entirety.
The rich in their infinite greed were not satisfied with the presence of a moderately secure middle class and an underclass that serves as an easy target and source of free labor. They won't stop until we are all modern serfs and wage slaves too busy and bone-tired from living paycheck to paycheck and worrying about paying for medical care to get our heads above water enough to get a gulp of air. I won't go overly into detail, but the whole capitalist and corporate system as it is set up perpetuates our present disastrous assault on human and planetary life and health. The corporate set up encourages immorality. I'll sum it up with the saying "Grow or Die".
It is never, and will never be, enough for them. The only answer is lasting and enforced regulations to protect for the rest of us and to protect LIFE ON EARTH and we need to be ever, ever vigilant about protecting those guard rails.
I know this isn't news and is perhaps a rant, but please just reply "I hear you" or "yeah" if you agree. I need the support today. I'm discouraged and its my birthday to boot.
