Who the hell says you have to fist fight with someone to stand up to injustice?  You can stand up for yourself with words.  Action does not always equal physical violence.  It means SAY something.  It means GET involved.  It means DO something besides talk a lot of shit after the fact. 

What I’ve noticed in life is that the bullies of the world will do as much as they think they can get away with.  If you don’t stand up to them, they will continue to bully, they will continue to take further steps, they will continue to push that line back, it will not end.  “Just ignore them.” Oh horseshit.  Look, I’ve tried that tactic more times than I care to count and you know what?  It doesn’t fucking work.  These types of people look for what they think are easy targets.  If you do not stand up and let them know, in no uncertain terms, that their shit is going to end and end right here, right now, they will keep at it.  Most of these bullies are pieces of shit with no self esteem and are, actually, scared little bitches who will flinch when you say, “boo”, to them.  All you need to see is that one, little flinch to know what I’m talking about.

When you stand up to them they might talk more smack, hurl invectives your way, reduce themselves to name calling, whatever but they do know this:  That you are not a little pussy who is going to allow them to do and say whatever they want with no resistance whatsoever.  Bullies do not like resistance.  Their sole purpose is to try to cower you down, to intimidate you, to get their way by instilling fear in to you.  If you show them that you are not afraid of them, you will fucking stand up to them, you do indeed have a spine, you’re not their little bitch, things will change.

Will it change overnight?  Sometimes yes, sometimes no.  Bullies are hard headed, stubborn and incredibly fucking stupid and some of them need to learn the hard way and they will keep testing you to see how far they can go.  They’ve got an idea of your boundary but they’ll test it anyway, see if you might break or back down.  Eventually they’re going to get the point.  Sometimes it requires a serious ass kicking or teeth bashing before they do get that point but again, you do not necessarily have to resort to that. 

Will they still hate you?  So what.  Who gives a flying shit if they hate you.  Wah.  Not my fucking issue. 

Now, what’s even worse is if that bully fucks with many people.  Maybe they don’t just fuck with you.  Maybe they make shit hard for all kinds of people.  So, should we just sit around, bitching about it and saying what an asshole that bully is or do we stand up, as a group, and fucking solve the problem?  NOTHING conquers a bully faster than when people unite to stop him.  NOTHING.

And I, for the life of me, cannot figure out why people choose, instead, to just sit and bitch and moan about the problem but do not get up and get together and face the bully head on, as a collective group and tell him, “No.  Enough.  You are fucking done.  You will not do this shit to us anymore.  You are out.” It is that easy.  It is that fast.  It’s been done in the past so herein lies my problem as I stated at the beginning:

I just really wonder if people are pissed off enough yet or if they have any fucking backbone AT ALL.  Or are they happy to bitch but deep inside they care only about themselves and their lives and who gives a shit about my neighbor’s life and injustices.  I look out for me and me only.

That’s not what started this country.  That’s not what gave us our freedom from bullies.  That’s not what gave us our liberties.  Do you think sitting around and bitching about what an asshole the bully is will get you freedom and liberty?  Or will the bully continue to hold power over you because you’re too much of a fucking bitch that you can’t get up and make a change?

Some of you need to go join a fucking sewing circle where you can gossip like hens all day long since that seems to be good enough for you.  I’m talking men and women alike.  Don’t fucking tell me that you will stand up for what is right, that you will strike out injustice when you see it, that you have your brother’s back and then pussy out at the first sign of trouble. 

“I don’t want to get involved” is the mantra of the whipped bitches in this world.  I would have far more respect for you if you admitted you were too scared to get involved instead of strutting around like you would until shit hits the fan.  Fear can be overcome.  A spineless, lying bastard is harder to work with.

Another saying to watch out for:  “I’d do this but....” Any time you see the word, “but”, you can forget every last word that person said before, “but”.  It’s a lie.  Instead of saying, “I’d get involved but I have to work that day”, they should be saying, “I’m a scared little bitch and don’t want to do anything uncomfortable.” THAT is the truth.  I won’t respect you for being a scared little bitch but I sure as hell will respect you for being honest.  Of course you may have a little disruption and of course you may have a little hardship but nothing fucking good comes easy.  Have we all forgotten this?  Are we so spoiled that we can’t remember that not all battles are easily won?  So, ok, we shouldn’t even try, then?  Is that it?  “Fuck it, it’s too hard, there’s no point in trying.” Here, baby, let me get you your pacifier.  Thank God our Founding Fathers weren’t too busy sucking on their thumbs while hiding behind mommy’s apron strings, peering out in fear at the possibility of something being hard.

“I’ve got too much to do.” You are too busy for freedom?  You are too busy to fight injustice?  Holy hell are you fucking kidding me?

Now, I’m going to make this a little personal, sort of.  I don’t typically talk about people who comment here because I try to keep posts for the general viewing audience.  This post still is for the general viewing audience of course.  I do want to point out a commenter and what they said because a lot of people give this commenter a lot of shit.  Does this commenter deserve it?  Sometimes yes.  They handle themselves just fine without me coming to their defense.  And this comment was not made on my site.  I read it on another blog and he really does have a point.  And his point is what I’m trying to say in this entry:

So, Ratso, I agree with you when you commented on another blog about how you were very unimpressed with those who say they are going to do all these things to protect themselves against the government yet you don’t think they actually are or will.

I think you are spot on.

I think I’m hearing a lot of blathering from people who are angry, just not angry enough to actually stand up and do anything about it.  This isn’t just about politics, either, kids.  This is about your every day life occurrences.  You have bullies in families.  You have bullies in neighborhoods.  Hell, I’ve often seen a bully in just about every damn place I’ve worked.  (Course, most work places have their own politics.) Some are worse than others.  And almost every single person has something to say about the bully but they never fucking do a damn thing about it.  If everyone thinks the person is an asshole, why the fuck do you all not join together, as a group, take care of it and/or let someone in authority KNOW the person is an asshole.  A disruptive asshole, at that.  Why the fuck do people leave it just one person to do?  If you actually think you are not affected by it, you are severely dumb and blind.  The way to handle it is not to ass kiss and/or scamper away at the first sign of trouble.  The way to handle it is TO HANDLE it.

I have this issue in my current job.  I’ve seen it, as I said, in every job I’ve had.  And the mindset, “It doesn’t affect me that much” or “I’ll just ignore it” or “Yah that person is an asshole but what can you do about it” is a defeatist attitude.  I’m sorry, I thought I was living in the United States of America not fucking France with a bunch of spineless weenies.

This also goes for our current administration.  Countless blogs I read talk about how angry and disgusted people are.  What the fuck are they doing about it?  What?  Most people are just bitching.  Most people aren’t doing shit.  Some people are attending tea parties.  Some people write their congresscritters.  I KNOW the chances are you’re going to get the response back, “Not my problem.” MAKE it their problem by being relentless.  You want to give up on the first try because someone said, “Eh, I don’t care”????  YOU should care enough to keep trying!

I’m so irritated with the defeatist attitude.  If that’s how the people in this country want to act, then we deserve all the bullshit we get.  If we can’t stand up and fight, as a group, then what the fuck are we doing in this country? 

And what you would be willing to do to fight for this country should trickle on down to your neighborhoods, your families, your friends, your associates.  I’m fed up with spineless hacks. 

Don’t talk the fucking talk if you can’t walk the fucking walk.  Pick up your knitting needles and wait for the brave people of this country to make things right.  Pansy ass.

Now, for those of you who are brave enough to stop making excuses and acting like 4 year old girls, read this:

This Should Piss Off Every Red Blooded American

Pansies?  I’ll make you some tea and get you some extra yarn.  Don’t worry your pretty little heads about anything.  Just sit there and be the vacant little twits that you are.
