Anarchist's folly

I love the ignorance and stupidity of supposed intellectuals who embrace anarchism with the notion that government is bad and society or individuals would be better off without it.

As I've repeatedly pointed out, all institutions look great on paper and none work in reality except for the few privileged that twist everything to their advantage. So the institution isn't the problem, people are the problem. There will always be those people among us, no matter where we are, how we govern or don't govern ourselves, who will exploit to their advantage whatever system exists . Furthermore, there has to be a system if we want to keep the things we have and not go back to the caves, but even in the caves there was a system & people taking advantage of others.  In fact, government rose out of the need. In the cave brute force ruled until societies evolved and put a stop to it. A major part of that society was the need for governance, authority in disputes, etc. In fact, if you are not a fricking moron, you realize that that is why government came into being, to regulate all the assholes (us, you , I). But of course, the next step is for the assholes to take over the government and bend it to their self centered wills and greed (and bullshit the rest of us into believing they have our interests at heart). To put it simply to the anarchist: government isn't the root of the problem, you are (people). People are the government & what causes it to be unjust, bad, tyrannical, whatever. But since we are the government, there is no government without people.Therefore, if the idiotic pseudo-intellectual anarchists wants no government the solution is simple: kill everybody. So the real solution is to have a government in which the cream of society (intellectually and morally speaking) run for and win the political offices that govern us. I'm talking about people such as Noam Chomsky and other writers and thinkers and not the assorted ex-actors, attorneys, wrestlers, singers, generals, career politicians and assorted other half-wits, crooks, perverts, puppets and thieves that we have to vote for now.

How to vote or how not to vote. This is the question

In the last election were you confuse about who to vote for? Were you trying to weigh what everybody had to say about the candidates before making your decisions? If so, that was your worst mistake. Below is my sound, experienced advice for potential voters whether you are affiliated with the Tea Party , Dems, Reps, independents, progressives (whatever because none apply to what I have to say). Rather than being for voters with a specific party affiliation, this advice is for anybody who is intelligent enough to understand the merit of what I am saying & has enough regard for others to want to cast a vote for the common good of all.

     Here is my advice: First and foremost: Don't listen to  anything  anybody has to say about any candidate. I say this because anything negative about any candidate is either coming from the opposition, whose job it is to make the candidate look bad or coming indirectly from them through your friends and colleagues with whom you discuss politics. Conversely, the same is true for anyone saying good things about the candidate! So don't listen to them either. Their job is to make the candidate look good and and they've influenced people who are trying to influence your decision at polling time.

     Instead, listen to the candidates & your own perception of the candidates as you weigh how they behave and speak. Listen to the candidates every chance you get & to determine if they are addressing the issues that are important. Are they actually talking about substantive issues in a meaningful way or are they just talking a lot about nothing & repeating vague platitudes about ephemeral things like "the American Way" & "justice for all." Are they continuously bashing their opponent or do they seem to be masters of doublespeak? Or are they talking about their  plans to do the job if elected & do the seem sincere& honest? If you tune out all the BS, all the lies, all the news media commentary and opinions and let the candidates speak for themselves, it becomes easy to differentiate between the charlatans who just want the power & prestige & the candidates who have an altruistic motivation for seeking the office. But to cast a vote for the common good, your mind can't be polluted by the self-centered, racism & greed & ethnocentric hatred that they throw at Obama like he is Hitler, a nigger, a socialist etc.They hiss "Muslim"  about him, trying to control your vote by playing on your irrational fears about those thing. So along with my advice not to listen to anyone but the candidate, I will say that this only works if you've cleared your mind of all the irrational fears mentioned above. Because if you still harbor them at poll time, you're either a puppet casting the votes your puppet masters want you to cast, or you 're a selfish, self-centered SOB who cares for no one but yourself (in other words, you're an average American).

     So, all you need to cast a good vote is to not be influenced by all the garbage spread about candidates & you need to quell your irrational fears so your choices can't be manipulated by others. The last thing is that you need only listen to the candidates themselves.  If you maintain an open mind and listen to only what the candidates say and nobody else, and look to them for speaking the truth & being, sincere & candid, I promise you that more often than not, you can reach a choice on your own that is yours and as good or better than anyone else's choice.  That's because, you know what? Most people let their minds get polluted by the enormous amount of pure horseshit that is thrown around in these campaigns due to two factors: their ignorance & their irrational fears that allow them to believe, for example that all Muslims are terrorists and Christianity is superior, being conveniently devoid of terrorism throughout it's entire history despite such events as the killings & bombing in the abortion industry by avowed Christians; the Oklahoma Courthouse Bombing by Timothy McVeigh; David Koresh and his cult; the years of Christian-on-Christian terrorism in Ireland, The Salem Witch Trials and the Spanish Inquisition to name just a few blemishes. 
     But if you've tuned out all the crap & have just listened to the candidates, come voting time, you're much more qualified than most people to cast a good vote. Don't listen to stuff about the candidate, listen to the candidate. Anybody saying things about the candidates cannot and should not be trusted because they either work for them or against them and are getting paid to either build the candidate up or tear him/her down.

      This advice is not comprehensive and will not guide you through an entire ballot of obscure offices and unknown candidates for positions you didn't know existed, but at the very least it will help you to make your own decision on a few races that are important to you.
                                                   

Excuses Excuses

Saying "don't talk about me behind my back about it is just trying to avoid responsibility for your actions. Not talking about people behind their backs applies to idle gossip. It doesn't pertain to talking about the person's improper behavior.The people who behave badly, treat others badly & then insist no one is ever to "talk about me behind my back" are trying to control society's perceptions of them so they can continue to behave like an ass &  hide it. If a person doesn't want their behavior talked about  then they should have done whatever it is people are talking about. Women who operate like this come in two types: the ones that aren't beautiful or nice that who think they are hot stuff (typically they are "the bitch and proud of it" type) and beautiful because all their lives men have been lying (subject of a future blog post) to them to have sex with them. They were influenced by the lies to the point that the bullsh** men spewed to get in their pants shaped their entire personality. Then there are the truly physical beautiful ones that from the time they're born, they're told how beautiful & wonderful they are & they grow up thinking that that is all there is to do in life (them). They never learn to take criticism or learn the value of it because they either never got any or it was drowned out by people telling them how perfect they are. Thus they learn that their "appearance is everything". So then, it's not what they do, it is the perception of what they do that counts. Hence, if they can control what other people say about them, then everything is hunky dory for them. The trouble is that these are only extreme categories of this type of behavior. The sad fact is that in my experience, nearly everyone puts appearance above substance, makes excuses and kills the messenger who brings them criticism. I believe this has become "The American Way", indeed, in interacting with people online around the world, I believe it is actually the way of the modern world.
