Scattershot artist

Scattershot artist It's hard to tell these days what people believe or, worse, why they believe what they believe. If you start with the most commonplace issue people might have, such as homelessness or inflation and move through the spectrum to international issues, such as internecine warfare and genocides, every person seems to have a lot of opinions but with little knowledge. Our governments, both local and federal are so complicated and corrupted around the use of monies and influence, it's a wonder anything at all gets done, which usually doesn't. Money influences everything, mostly in a negative way. Yes, in today's world, governments must have money, contractors must be promised money, businesses must be at least profitable to keep the owners heads above water, families have to pay bills, and federal expenditures are, of course, necessary to maintain annual budgets. Simple enough. Everybody needs money, so who gets to decide where everybody's money g...

The individual, the society, and violence

The individual, the society, and violence Individuals have opinions. Society, which is composed of many individuals with many different opinions, has responsibilities to itself to maintain a certain level of safety, well being, organization, consistency (stability). In a free society, individuals should and should be able to express their opinions without punishment, isolation, or retribution. When society is threatened, either from within or without, to such an extent that the institutions established to maintain order, to maintain that certain level of safety, security, themselves turn to violence, then both revolutionary violence and fascistic violence occurs. Revolutionary violence is that violence which becomes necessary to defend the general idealistic principles by the people who are resisting the fascistic violence, which is destabilizing the society. Fascistic violence is that violence and rhetoric which divides, compromises any establishment of order and stability. Opinion...

It's not that we disagree, it's what we want done about it. Let's take the example of an anti abortionist feminist and a freedom of choice feminist. What's the difference? An anti-abortion feminist (one who believes in gender, after all aren't we all created equal in gods' eyes? (An equality of spirit at least). Maybe not, but why not? Those who believe we are god's creation, and i suppose those who want to believe we are gods creation yet continue to divide up what they mean by it so it will fit into their individual belief that we are god's creation. For example, the critical question of most agnostics and atheists or non-believers is, why is the life abroad or next door, somehow different, hanged in the tree or bombed in their home or forced to give up their life, different than the fetus in the womb? Innocence is the difference, the anti abortionist might say in their defense. But isn't innocence contained in the children of the hanged, the m...

Okay, I read the twenty point peace plan produced by the trump screen writers. Despite its origins, I recognized some truths in it that set examples of why it should happen but will ultimately be a disaster and why if it doesn't, it will also be a disaster. First of all, there are truths exposed. It seems that prior to Oct 7th, 2023, Hamas was taking the stance of defending their Palestinian heritage from further military encroachment by Israel, which had been taking place since the Mandate. On Oct 7th, the waters were clearly muddied by the absence of what really happened, by both the invaders and the always prepared Israeli propaganda response. Meanwhile, Hamas retreated back to its tunnels and a defensive posture, making the attack seem as if it was merely an exercise in military strategy with no real significant purpose in furthering Palestinian prospects for statehood, if there is even such a thing. It only enraged the Zionists full time desire to complete their greater Is...

Ever since the civil war, the right, embodied in either political…

There are some people in the world who don't want change, they don't want to know how to turn off the massive amounts of bullshit produced in our culture, or in any other culture. I can understand that. But life is about a lot more things than when someone is overwhelmed by white noise and can no longer reach out for I Love Lucy, Ed Sullivan, and Lawrence Welk, like my parents did, the solution isn't to try and make everybody like you, or be like you, the only person in the world in your church with common sense. There are only a couple of good and evils that embody civil discourse throughout modern civilizations. One, the individual vs the social order and, two, slavery/genocide. The individual vs social order relates to nearly all our humanly representations of civil, social and criminal law. as defined by the standards of our tribe, community, political system. How we get to those standards is differentiated by what our beliefs are about how the world works. There has to...

In a previous piece, I defined what I believe is a fascist and a dictator but for my purposes today, I should define it again since t-Rex has now outlawed ANTIFA a terrorist organization, which literally has no meaning at all because there is no anti-fascist organization called ANTIFA. Even if we define terrorist in the typical way these authorities define terrorism , which seems to be any type of attempt to change by subterfuge-violence, assassination, bombings etc, or even free speech, actions we used to refer to as "revolutionary"- revolution, meaning the attempt to overthrow an existing national political structure by any means necessary, so to speak. That was before 9/11 , after that, everything is defined as terrorism, so we got the patriot act where every precaution to protect any nations status quo, whether it be democratic or dictatorial, is acceptable, with the current terroristic administration being exempt. Right now we are winding down the path of irrel...

The King is dead, Long live the king.

The King is dead, Long live the King. Todays press report. It was a horrible sequence of events, history will love the story. The King rose in the morning, like any other day, spent the usual on his hair with his hairdresser. She's wonderful, you know that, right? A beautiful young woman, she'll go far in the hairdresser world, I wouldn't mind if she would go farther with me, but, I'm smarter than Bill Clinton, possibly the dumbest president ever, and if that crony wife of his would have beat me in 2016, she's the dumbest. Obama, he was dumb too, there are alot of dumb presidents before me, I'm the smartest ever, by far, look at what I've done in, what, six, seven months? I made peace with six countries, i blew up that crook in Venezuelas boat with drugs on it. we knew where that boat came from and where it was going. Here, a scourge in our country, over 300 million people died already this year from those drugs. Very bad, very bad. but i think they lear...
