The zelensky-media celebrity sub-culture but more on "intersectionality"..

The dud rate and the moral supremacy majority.

The zelensky-media celebrity sub-culture is an interesting phenom. Here's a guy, a former comedian, i guess one has to do something in life, before becoming a politician, who seems like he has no power whatsoever but gets the most powerful countries in the world to supply weapons and fighting resources just because he's involved in the latest of the homeland's wars.

Every war is a homeland war, either defensive protection when attacked or offensive when colonizing, no matter how far away that adversary is, there's always the chance they can reach you with today's technology.

I hate the word intersectionality to describe what should be obvious. Even the most unlearned people in the world understand "everything is connected to everything else." Yes, that's the simplified version of the intellectual, political version. I know it was "discovered" by a well-known and respected black feminist so just from that it has credence, i suppose. The main reason why i hate it is because it's just another iteration of the reiteration that oppression, like society in general, makes us all connected.

White men and philosophers have been saying the same thing for centuries and looked how that turned out. Having privilege in america which is embedded in the principles of wealth and hardly anything else, creates the conditions for a described intersectionality among those who have less privilege than others, and yes, in america that struggle for privilege in america has been put mostly, but not all, on the shoulders of skin color, ethnic (non-white and white), and poor (white and non-white) individuals, whereas throughout the world, the role of privilege is laid out in ever more extreme examples, in religions, in cultural, patriarchal traditions ( which usually are religious based).

All of this has been laid out many times. I personally prefer the word "universality" to describe the extent of all oppression (nationalism, institutional bias, patriotism, religious codecs, political power, and, the god of wealth and money which rules us all.) 

Whenever i hear the term intersectionality used here in america, which really is the main source of the term, it's in relation to whatever form of oppression, the speaker is referring to at the time, which is somewhat contradictory because how can you single out any one thing that is inclusive of all. It seems all intellectual show. It's almost always been that here in america we see intersectionality in the same way we talk about america without speaking about white supremacy and nationalistic supremacy, a condition of every nation on earth.

It's ironic that climate change has reduced the "nation" concept to its real core, every nation is unable to realize a universal concept of humanity because of its own web of intersectional fallacies. How can climate change, which is world wide (universal) be taken seriously when we're divided by sectional interests that have their own reasons not to deal with it?

A good christian man

Pat robertson- rih

He moved us ever closer to the apocalypse, a true apocalypse man, full of hate and the glory of the gold purse.

Worship the homeless because they have given up everything except collecting the refuse of the middle class and like a pack rat, stack it around them, like the masses do their armies.

When the fight comes to them they will fight like hell, like from the alamo, and the young ideologues will return home to the type of living their criticism of their childhood has forsaken.

It will all crumble but not before it takes alot more down with it, like the drowning nation will grab unto alot of straw dogs to stay afloat and the lifeboats, yeah, the lifeboats, youll be hard pressed to find one.

There'll be standing on the deck, waving white flags, crying for help, as even the upper decks go under, nice mahagony decks and all.

Its the titanic were on. Pat robertson was the captain, praying that there isnt an iceberg out there.

I wish everybody would stop praying because it just aint working. It doesnt stop the guns, doesnt stop the tragedy from happening.

In my era we thought having precognition or fortune telling or astrology or/and premature ejaculation could tell us something about the future but, boy, were we wrong.

Then we lived off deja vue for a long time. 

I guess Pat Robertson could have been right about debunking some of that stuff but, still, he was so wrong about everything at the wrong time.

The carceral society

Carceral society

There is an argument to be made about the inability of our society to come to resolvable terms with the insane nation we have become. 

Over time we became the nation with the most incarcerated people of the world, a fact seeming forgotten by amnesty international to try and put a spin on much poorer nations incapable of eliminating their poverty and inequality, by giving the richest nation a pass, that's what they tell us anyway.

Yet, the inability of a nation with such high idealistic goals has turned into a nation of an open insane asylum where mental cases (defined as overzealous protectors of "freedom"), act freely to disrupt, murder, confuse, commit violence.

What about the homeless? you might ask. The homeless are just the eye of the storm, the maelstrom, the prometheum task upon which all our ideals are wrecked, much like slavery, indigenous genocide, segregation, war, all have at one time, been and continue to be, thorns in the asylums side.

A carceral society is one that attempts to contain rather than cure the ills of society. Of course, violence, war, corruption, disintegration of basic beliefs in institutional authoritiy are all contributors to this breakdown. 

The homeless themselves, like institutional prisoners, represent all the ills of any society. The enormous collection of trash, out of desperation the occupation of space, resources, visibility are basic survival necessities.

The Universe Looks Pretty Good From Here

 The universe looks pretty good from here. Why do we want to go mess everything up out there too.

We just want to fick everything up. There's already a stratospheric layer of scrap metal and radioactive waste circling above us ready to fall anytime gravity says so.

I know a few artists that would love to turn that into something more akin to art rather than leaving it chicken little artifice.

The sky is falling. Or it will be.

Trump. The Prince. Netanyahu may be the harbingers we've been secretly waiting for but don't recognize until it's too late or. All three have that stupid glazed look of ignorance and hate.

If there's any Jew in America who is still thankful for the 1948 Accords that gave Israel a homeland and the reason to isolate themselves from the outside world with walls, many neo fascists will shake their hand for lending a hand in the biggest suicide mission in history outside of lemming biological tendencies anyway.

If the world isn't going back to a bizarre form of tribalism, I don't know anything.

One other thing. The chemical makeup of crude oil is dinosaur and weeds all melded together in high pressure, hot chemical soup we run our industry with. Now tell me. Would ya. If that isn't a harbinger of things to come, given a few million years down the road I don't know what is.

The futility of intellect

The futility of intellect is one of the built in institutionalized limits on actual ideas bringing together change, especially social change.

Those smart people who write big tomes about race, such as Stamped from the Beginning or the Climate Change Book cant realize the almost impossibility of figuring out that there is no intellectual nor literary nor visual effect striking enough to be able to change anyone's mind, especially those who are racist or climate change deniers or whatever it is that holds them hostage.

It would take a particular type of person who can't imagine what the life of a slave could have been like, much less, read a book, such as Stamped from the Beginning, and not say, yes, it has always been that way. It would take another type of person who watches the crops being ruined by drought, or the rivers flood their home and just say, "but for the grace of god, go i" or just having a streak of bad luck, or not being able to see through smoke and fire more than a quarter mile away.

Yet, its those particular sorts of people who control the machinery, both mechanical and social, to resolve the issues that plague us. And speaking of plague, why is it the victims of such epidemics, must suffer the nonchalance of those who create the conditions for the disasters, because surely all we have to do is look around us and see that the worst consequences are reserved for those who, like penned sheep, who have no control over what befalls them.

Back in the ice age 1990s when mobile exxon one of the largest warming producers discovered itself as a climate killer, reneged on its own responsibility and suggested that consumers reduce their own carbon footprint.

Why don't we? If climate change activists expect mobil and the other climate change producers or the climate book climate killers to do it on their own, then it will never get done. Gretas book hopes to educate us, but the vast majority of consumers are practically non- literate rather than illiterate, but there is a big difference between the two. Hardly anyone who is unfamiliar with the travails of climate change will read it and be enlightened by it. The problem is all of us who consume, which really makes the solution easy. Don't consume mass quantities of everything. It's like we came out of the pleistocene starving and hating minimalism. Look at any homeless camp and you'll be looking at a reflection of mass consumption and mass accumulation syndrome, like a pack rat, but at least, with the rat which has been around through wilderness to industrial age, through thick and through age of reason, through the age of discovery, and through high tech, the rat never eats its entire savings while watching tv, ordering shit from amazon or driving to the grocery store two blocks away and, while you're at it, drive ten more miles to the mall.

Here's the thing. Without a revolution, nothing will change, period.

To rely on the awakening, wokeness, of any particular group of people powerful enough to create change without the benefit of profit is as insane as anything. Its capital suicide for the capitalists, and i'm not even sure if the people living high on the hog, feasting on the green pastures of plenty still remaining of earth's resources, will even allow their masters to act in such a way. 

If you haven't noticed, the trend is toward fascism, almost everywhere, including here in the USA. We, the people, are the only ones who can stop it, but we have to give up something, so why do we wait for scarcity to force us when we could just shut down our stupid lawn mowers, leaf blowers, freeways, helter-skelter drive over the cliff like some harassed, unthinking bison herd?

Get out and walk around your neighborhood, talk to your neighbors, don't plot against each other, help each other, and buy only what you need, not what you think you wish for, like a child.

Were a nation of conformists, mindless sheep, penned up by the wolves of the world. Theres far more of us than the murderers, rapists, man-woman haters, weapons dealers, politicians, criminals who all are someone's sons and daughters, and, yet everyone turns a blind eye.
