29. Awwww, poort wittle victims. Boo fuckin' hoo. No, I'm saying lazy ass adults who are so cowed

Dec 2012

we are almost worthless in the struggle, who say we are lookin' out for the care of the real victims, and waste incredible amounts of effort shirking that stated responsibility, blaming everyone in sight, and leave the real victims to bastards who care nothing about them. Adults who act like credit cards and mortgages are more important than freedom, who really don't think they owe all the people who died to get them that spot a damn thing.

It's like an alternate universe where the " target="_blank">|Geto Boyswrite "Damn, It Feels Good To Be a Victim".

At most there's a million true believers on their side, if you count the tyrants and all the people they pay directly. They are stealing from 311 million people. And we let them while we parade around in our feel-good suits. How anyone can say the 311 million are at a disadvantage not of their own making is beyond me.

If you are the coach, what do you say to a football team, losing at halftime, when you look out and realize your team has 311 players and theirs has 1?. Speechless? How in the hell can you imagine that the 311 mostly fully capable people, even with traitors and thieves in their midst, can't just take back what was theirs in the first place?

Just maybe the reason that kid didn't get to eat all weekend, until she got back to school Monday morning was because all the adults in her life are so worried about hanging on to what Mr. Charlie gives back to them from their labor that they failed her. (she and others are the REAL victims, btw, though unlike the post above I bet they would probably never ever think of themselves like that, until the adults teach them later). Maybe that veteran would be getting care if WE weren't sending $40 billion plus every month to wealthy billionaires who invests in mortgage-backed assets that we are propping up so they don't lose money. While at the same time we watch 50,000 families a month being taken out of their foreclosed homes. (Point a finger at me there are three pointing back at you. If we have to drop to the level of kiddie talk to make it clear, get people's spirit fired back up, that's fine. I'll do whatever if it hurts the opponent).

I think the worst thing the Republicans could have gotten themselves was a win. Their policies would have taken us back over a hundred years. Maybe like the 1870s when people were in the streets demanding the changes they got, making it unsafe for tyrants to walk the streets unmolested. Not making excuses and filling volumes of hard drives with drivel while greedy capitalists and their collaborators dole out ever smaller bits and pieces from what they are stealing from us, from our labor, in the first place. (Although I would have gotten popcorn and thoroughly enjoyed watching as the people re-learned how to be downright uncivil, at Republican expense).

For about 40 years or so back then they stood up, demanded, and got major changes that made their lives better, even though people told them it wasn't possible, that they should rely on Mr. Charlie to bring them aid. We whine because no one is bringing us the solution, and then we let mean bastards hurt people and make excuses for them.

Maybe it's because people keep depending on other people who feel "for" them, and thus really, really don't feel "like" them, and thus don't really care about them at all. At all. At all.

You don't really see yourself as that? Victim my ass.
