And? So?
Oooh, St. Hope and Change won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Whoopdedoo.
So did Yassir Arafat.
It’s no longer meant anything to me since then.
By the way, speaking of stimulus packages that didn’t actually work, (Hi Detroit! How’s that unemployment working out for you? You wanted those Dems in Congress and as president....get what you pay for!), I’ve come to realize something:
For the longest time I could not understand why people didn’t educate themselves about politics and economics in this country. It’s really not that hard to get a basic but good understanding of it if you just apply yourself, but it seemed that no one would do it. They just parroted the same old tired lines, “It’s all Bush’s fault, the Rethuglicans, Christian bible thumpers, gun toting crazies....”
I thought, if things really aren’t going well for you, if things really are that bad, wouldn’t you get mad? And if you get mad, wouldn’t you want to know how to change it? Wouldn’t you educate yourself on how to change the current status quo and fight for change? (Change you can believe in!) Wouldn’t you want to know how politics and the economy work so that you could fight to make your life better instead of constantly being ground under the heel of “the man”? Wouldn’t you want to find a way to stop all the corruption and lies and theft? Wouldn’t you want to find a way to make your life easier and better?
I’ve been asking these questions in so many ways the entire time I’ve been blogging. And you know what? I’ve realized all this time that I’ve been wasting my breath.
People do not want to understand how things work so they know how to fix them to make their lives better, richer, easier.
You know what people want to do?
People want to sit there and bitch, piss and moan about their eternal victim status and blame one person for everything and I mean EVERYTHING that doesn’t go well in their lives. This way they never have to make any effort, they never have to learn anything, they never have to take responsibility for their lack of ambition or for their laziness; they get to sit there and cry and whine from the time they are born to the time they die.
OH what a hard life they’ve had! No one understands! It’s all (insert Republican individual here), fault! They should be compensated for the hardships they’ve endured! And while we’re at it, give me money for all the hardships my ancestors have endured! Here’s my race card! Here’s my victim card! Here’s my gender card! Here’s my sexual orientation card! It’s not my fault!
That’s really it. They don’t actually want anything to improve, they just want to complain.
Look at the 60s! All those fucking hippies didn’t have a DAMN thing to be bitching about but they invented issues and complained about them. Nevermind how hypocritical they all were, they were only happy when they were complaining. Life was good for them but that wasn’t good enough.
People love to be miserable. They love the drama. With all that going on, they don’t ever have to stop and look at themselves.
I’ve concluded that most people do not like themselves and they will continue to do as little as possible to help themselves because of it.
