Greetings good citizen,
Here, in the ‘aftermath’ of the election we find some disturbing indications regarding what it means to be ‘progressive’
Mind you this divisive mindset ISN’T coming from the decidedly twisted conservative side of the fence…it comes from the (Libertarian leaning) ‘progressive’ politicos.
If you aren’t ‘down with brown’ then you’d best find someplace to hide, honky! (because you’re about to be made politically irrelevant…)
And one would have to admit, this isn’t how, er, ‘democracy’ is supposed to work.
Just one more reason why we desperately need to overhaul what we do and why we do it.
The latest ‘cage match’ between the Conservo-loonies and the Tax & Spend Libruls is all the proof anyone needs to see that we are going off the political rails into ideological warfare…a war only the very rich can A.) win and B.) afford.
And our source of ‘intellectual reflection’ (C.K. Michaelson) points out, the issue is deeper than just the stewardship of our one and only home, it is about the survival of our (entire) species (and not just the few who have laid clam to what we all need to live!)
To that end any new social model needs to be ‘sustainable’…which could explain why the current pinheads are driving our civilization over the cliff.
They are indeed trying to kill off as much of the ‘surplus population’ as they think they can get away with.
YOU have been led to believe that the planet is ‘over-populated’ rather than grossly mismanaged.
Most of you believe we need to reduce the human ‘footprint’ to a more manageable level…and are you aware of what is behind that backwards kind of thinking?
A deeply entrenched desire to ‘preserve’ (predatory) capitalism!
Worse, it is the, er, ‘desire’ to make money, er, ‘meaningful’ once more!
While I have failed to sell A Simple Plan to the general public on the basis of Justice and Equality, maybe I could garner some support by drawing on one of the other ‘pillars’ of its creation…sustainability.
By design A Simple plan dramatically reduces energy consumption…by, er, ‘making it unnecessary’ to commute. It will also build new structures designed to conserve energy by using geo-thermal building techniques, reducing the usage of both heating and cooling resources.
Note how I avoid the term ‘cost’…because NOTHING ‘costs’ ANYTHING! The ONLY real costs are ‘opportunity costs’ and squandering those should be avoided by careful planning!
How difficult is it to understand that we could reduce what the world spends on ‘anti-terror’ to ZERO if we’d simply treat people better?
Worse, why is that concept a ‘non-starter’?
Am I a ‘dreamer’?
I don’t think so…I (perhaps mistakenly) believe most people think as I do but their ‘practical side’ gets in the way of their (very weak) desire to ‘do the right thing’.
We must stop voting for ideologies (especially the ones that preach hatred!) and start voting for equality and justice!
Albeit those abstract concepts are difficult to quantify even if they are universally understood.
And this is where we run into problems. When people start to ‘quibble’ over the definition of universally understood concepts.
It is not unusual for these quibblers to become ‘lawyers’ (a profession that is outlawed under A Simple Plan.)
It is the current failure to evaluate the common good from what’s good for the self-interested that has led us to where we sit today, on the verge of social collapse.
We can’t continue to allow the self-interested (read >One Percent) to decide what is ‘good’ for the rest of us.
Good luck finding someone who disagrees with THAT statement of fact (that ISN’T a freakazoid Libertarian!)
Correct me if I’m wrong good citizen (because if I am wrong and the majority of our species is ignorant and greedy then we are already doomed!)
But (fortunately) this is not the human race I encounter every day.
So the problem must be confined to the ‘people (wrongly) in charge’.
And it has been, unfortunately, my experience that people elevated to that level of trust are usually shiftless and untrustworthy.
So what should be a simple exercise of doing what is IN YOUR BEST INTEREST becomes an exercise in not wanting to be the ‘odd man out’!
(So get back in the corner as start fucking yourself, like everyone else is!)
It seriously doesn’t get much sadder than that good citizen,
Thanks for letting me inside your head,
