Pollution on the Pages

  I have mentioned Yabberz before, a commenting site and news discussion place I write on at times. It is hard to put energy into the site at times. It is not the disagreeing voices and discussions. It is not the snarky and thinly veiled insults and insinuations. It is the pollution plain and simple, the pollution of the kind of branding and "news" that the right deems worthy. It is their processes of attacking the messengers and diluting the message, bringing the value of any discussion to zero. Baseline mentalities that look for every reason to jerk their knees and "teach" everyone who disagrees. Bring you down to their levels and bash you with their well used dummy clubs.
  I know a lot of people who are Republican and Conservative and they don't act like this in real life. They don't act like this in front of their Mother, why the hell do they do it on these pages? I have spent two and three hours writing something to be considered for discussion only to have it completely misunderstood. Reading comprehension issues, and just plain stupid reactions put up, memes that have nothing to do with the subject plastered across it like graffiti. Just because they think that that is the way you discuss something, antagonize, attack. It is as if their penchant for destroying something they don't understand and declaring war first runs all the way to their commenting styles. So the page that I like to post on is and has become littered with stories from the extreme right wing. Ugly, filled with lies, and just plain made up crap is tossed into a page with real thoughts real pieces, written by real people. Not simply cut and paste opinion pieces from the latest right wing rag, or derogatory and inflaming memes.
  New people coming onto the site at times must see a litany of pieces that would make your head swim. It is mostly the right, some on the left, it is pollution of the page and a dilution of our effectiveness to get our voices out. It's like there is a concerted effort to shut out our pieces by cluttering the page with bullshit. Polluting the comments with the very thing the page was supposed to avoid, this kind of petty attacks that are allowed to happen. This polluting of the page that has been allowed. It is not the voices that disagree and say something completely against us. It is the hollow profiles and rabid vitriol that those who are there to 'teach" us would have it become. A soapbox for sure, but the line is now filled with names like God and something dot com. Pieces written by the person are getting rarer and rarer and most just want to put up a link to a story without considering they would then be asked to argue its points.
  With all of that pollution it is hard at times to think of anything that you would want to write for those jackasses. Your friends are busy with their thoughts and pieces and the others just suck you IQ down by the sentence. Meh, I talk to myself all of the time. I don't need anybody else to validate my BS. I don't need that kind of constant pollution either.

America - I'm Lovin' It!

Welcome to America.... Can I take Your Order? As this week begins, I am reminded again that the events and results from the previous year are trying to push themselves into this one. We are just short of that time when we permanently scar the buttocks of the nation with an asterisk and a question mark. When we hand over the government to those who wish to erode it away. Globalism made to order for a few, the people still a commodity being traded away in the most covert and overt of manners. I have written about the outright antagonism that the Russians have engaged in, the voting and manipulation of the American psyche. Breaking in to C-Span, dogging our cyber security and basically just laughing at us, we apparently are not going to do anything. There are others involved in this as well including our pals the Israelis, if there was a closer tie to another Super Power in this world we would be closer to China, but the Russians are working on them as well, so here we are....

The Cost of Living

In today's world that title is thrown out there to speak of a lot of things. The cost of housing, and food and electricity, you throw them all together and that is your penance. You must be responsible enough or dirty enough to succeed in covering your cost of living. Through hard work or in some cases none at all, people are programmed from the beginning to cover their costs. There is a price for living in today's world and the rest will be culled by societal natural selection. The fittest survive, the others struggle, while some just simply walk around in their meatsuits, the walking dead. That is our grand society, that is the nature of our success, we enslave from the get go. Program and pull levers to make our offspring just that much more efficient. The system has gone well for so long and it has produced some amazing success, but it is an old and unthinking model that allows nothing else to replace it. A conscription before they are even born, expectations created and a ...

With Slings of David

I have had this title sitting up here since November 10th. I had no idea what it was supposed to mean, though I didn't get rid of it for some reason. Was it some part of an idea or concept that already escaped me? Or one that was yet to fully come into clarity? I have no idea where this block is originating from, but it's reach feels somewhat gigantic. Mercury in retrograde may be a part of it, or an inner tornado of bile that won't settle down with the best meds around. Maybe it is just a huge denial system that got kick started like an atomic bomb? Maybe it is a huge realization and a betterment of my perceptions? Maybe it is a grief of mourning for what I once thought I knew, not only about my country, but about people as well? I don't know what to call it because it has not yet made itself clear enough to me. Thus I pick up the pen, or in this case keyboard and walk my way through this. It must have needed a crisp New Year, a new perspective to get something out...
