In reply to the discussion: To the people who keep saying "get over it" about the far-left's sabotage of our nation: [View all]Kimchijeon
(1,606 posts)Keep thinking that, silly peasants! Yes, yes, bicker amongst yourselves.
Meanwhile the corporate oligarchy shall continue to merrily dismantle and sell off the assets of the USA, just like any old corporate hostile takover, just like the Chinese/Russian oligarchs love to do,
Yeah, suuuuure, blame some of the other peasants! Keep it up!
I guess it is fascinating, as a study in human behavior anyway. By the time people are really hurting to the level that they are ready to actually revolt (the poor/working class), the system is already in place to lock 'em up in corporate profit-prisons as 'terrorists'.
I can understand the human emotional tendency to engage in this kind of behavior, and also I realize that it's past the point of no return - as far as the dismantling/oligarchy ownership and control of the USA, we're fucked. It makes us feel better to blame easier targets because the ultimate realization of the horrible truth is just to much to bear.
It's not like we can easily solve this whole mess, most of us are just going to have to continue to scrape & scrap & keep our heads down, and just survive personally. Keep our friends and family safe, those that can afford or manage it, escape to a first world country.
Also hate to burst anyone's bubble but this shit has been fomenting for decades, Trump being installed just was a perfect storm to enable the dismantling/goodie grabs by the corporate shitbags. The head in the sand mentality helped 'em out.
I know it's not what you want to hear (the stuff the far left tends to say) but the truth hurts, doesn't it? It's much more comfy to pretend that "lets just GOTV, let's just play nice, let's just wait, no no don't protest, oh don't worry about that D candidates corporate donors, they are really wholesome and I trust 'em"... Yeah, that kind of roll over weak-ass mentality enabled the takeover, not the whistleblowers on the far left. They were just screaming some uncomfortable truths.
Bottom line is, the corporate oligarchy wanted to advance this shit, the current admin is the perfect distraction for their purposes. It's really too late to do much beyond emigrate or some horrific natural disaster we have to rebuild from. The shitbags at the helm aren't going to change the corrupt election system as it benefits them too well.
I just hope all of us can somehow survive long enough to see through this, just be educated about what is going on so we can work around it. Do what we can on a personal and local level, raise awareness at the least.
I totally understand the temptation, to want to attack and hate easier targets... and for saying "get over it," well personally I am more of the DGAF (Don't Give A Fuck) kinda Zen-esque mentality. Focusing your personal emotional energy on others who are also hurt in the whole dismantling of the USA and selling off its assets? Big Picture-wise, I feel it's a waste of my energy.
Kinda therapeutic to vent online though, so I totally am behind that. In real life I am very laid back and don't let this kinda shit mess me up. So for all here I just wanna say, I get it, I vent on here too.
At any rate, since I know I was babbling and probably hurt some one or another's fee fees, here is a Happy Santa Persian to soothe your grumpies LOL ♥
