If you STILL think it doesn’t matter
If you think I should shut up
If you try to justify your silence
Because you fear that bad things might come
If you don’t hold your tongue
If you watch in horror at the hatred
Then close your eyes, walk away
If you’d rather run than fight
It’s someone else’s problem, you say.
I’m not gonna judge you.
You can fucking judge yourself.
After the coming flood
When your world is washed away
Because you thought that
Filling sandbags was someone else’s job
It turns out, life is never what you think it is. Several times in my life, I’ve learned this lesson. Sometimes the hard way.
Just because you think it’s important, doesn’t mean it is. We are always deciding which thoughts are important enough to act on. Everyday decisions are the real meat and potatoes of life.
Do we choose to follow the herd, or step out on our own? Stay or go. Buy or steal. Fight back or apologize. Choices we make seem right at the time, but the disasters they cause beg to differ.
All you can do is pick up the pieces and try again. Try and do it better. Make it right. Start over. Forward. Now will be the past.
The future will arrive. The doubts will clear. Maybe this time it was someone else’s fuck up that knocked us down. We’ll fuck up again. Or maybe we’ll succeed.
Doesn’t matter. The system is designed to keep you down. We’ll get knocked down, by our own stupidity or someone else’s.
And we’ll get up and do it again.
Until we don’t.
Fuck the system
This goes out to all the Faux-christian nationalists in charge, and the immoral idiots who voted for them.
Lyrics below. Thanks for sharing if you enjoy it!
You took a big step over the line
Laughing as you turned your back
People needing help, you walk away
Especially if they’re poor,
brown or black
You gonna push us too far
Being cruel as fuck
Karma’s got your number
Gonna call your bluff
She gonna bend you over
Make you shut the fuck up
Shut the fuck up
How’d you get so dumb?
If I was that stupid
I’d bite off my tongue
I laugh my ass off when you talk
About God being on your side
Shut the fuck up
You’re a goddamn fool
You ain’t just stupid
You’re a fucking tool
Jesus thinks you’re a piece of shit
I know you know that He’s right.
(Additional verse, not in video)
In times like these we gotta take a stand
Stand up for the ones who can’t
People needing help gotta lend a hand
Try and make things better
Any way we can
You’re gonna push us too far
Being cruel as fuck
Karma gonna get hit you
Like a semi truck
She gonna run you over
Make you shut the fuck up.
Unalienable
We’ve grown complacent and blase
Mainstream music, homogenized, bland
Time to teach them the meaning
Of Punk. Rock and Roll. Again.
Time to hammer the hounds of repression
Demand Freedom. Liberty for ALL.
Demand Equality. Justice and peace.
Nothing less is acceptable.
Nothing more is necessary.
Unalienable. Undeniable.
We did it in the 60s-70s. Well, I didnt. But I watched them do it. They did it without the Internet or anything. The elite fear us, so they censor our communication and divide us with propaganda.
Music will unite us again, and they won’t be able to stop it. They won’t be able to stop us, because the universal truths are on our side. All are created equal. We have Unalienable Rights, as HUMAN BEINGS.
Unalienable means the rights cannot be given or taken away, and these rich motherfuckers will NOT deny us.
Time to stand up.
Alas, our government is soon to be under control of a South African Nazi billionaire and his cronies, who paid to have their idiot criminal Manchurian candidate installed by a ‘free and fair’ election, that was rigged by manipulating public opinion.
With the aid of complicit billionaire owned news corporations, these plutocrats controlled the media and normalized every horrid and sordid thing Trump did, while scrutinizing and demonizing the black woman who opposed him. They made it NORMAL for a convicted felon rapist dirtbag to run for president, as they played to every racist and sexist trope.
With some help from the other side. Biden’s DOJ failed to prosecute. So much for ‘nobody is above the law’.
AND…..they won the election.
Suddenly it was just another election. MSNBC’s morning hosts immediately flew to Florida to kiss the ring. They were ALL working for the other side folks. Money decided who won. THEY did.
None of this normal. This is a class war, and 97% of us just lost a huge battle. So many of us are still cluelessly believing what the talking heads tell them. The lies will keep coming until we wake up.
In Europe, they call it Austerity Measures. Add a pinch of Faux-Christian Nationalism, and a huge scoop of racism and blame, alongside the overhanging threat of using the military and police against anyone who protests or threatens the regime, and what do you get?
The United States has become first NORTH American Banana Republic. American Idiocracy at it’s finest.
Oligarchy. Plutocracy. Look them up. Then look up socialism and capitalism. Capitalism is the highway to Oligarchy. Socialism is the fruit of Democracy. In which we learn to share, and take care of one another.
Authors Note: All opinions expressed here are just that: opinions. If you don’t like mine, I probably won’t like yours either. Let’s just nod, and walk away. Maybe come back with solutions instead of opinions. Because of the two, only solutions actually matter.
Upstate NY…the part we live in is actually part of Appalachia. It’s not actually as bad as the Simpsons say, and somehow, red and blue voters have always been able to get along in the past. The truth is that everyone you ask cares about the same things.
For the record, if it sounds like I’ve lost my sense of humor, I have. There is nothing funny about any of this, and I’m keeping my head down and remaining on full defense. Call it Self Care. It’s not paranoia if they ARE out to fuck you. Trust me, they are out to fuck us. Most of us.
The next few years are going to be unlike anything we’ve ever experienced. People we know and love will die. Women. Children. Trans kids. Refugees. Journalists who dare report the truth.
All Unnecessarily.
People are going to lose their freedom for standing up for what is right, against a completely corrupted government with zero tolerance for dissent. There will be protests in the streets, and violence when Trump sends the military against the protestors. I’ll keep speaking out, like this. Until it becomes too dangerous, or they come for someone I know. Then it’s war.
Simply put, if you aren’t on the right side of history, I don’t need you in my life. On social media and real life. Friends. Family. ANYONE. If you’re still cluelessly sitting on the fence, YOU ARE on the wrong side. I might try to school ya, but only if it doesn’t cause me too much stress and pain. It’s easier to block and ignore.
Like I said: Self care.
This is a hill I will die on, figuratively, but also literally if they come for people I care about. If you didn’t vote, voted 3rd party, voted for Trump, you are on your own. Because you voted to hurt people. This isn’t just about political party, it’s about morality. It isn’t just politics. This is basically America’s moment of Truth. Our own little custom Armageddon, and ironically, the Church is on the wrong side. Maybe it’s because they aren’t reading their Bibles. Or maybe they are, and they’re actively working with the Orange Anti-Christ to make it a reality…to force Jesus to come back or some dumbass bs.
Don’t misunderstand me. I’m not getting all religious. I do believe in a greater power, but i don’t think Jesus is coming to save us. I think we need to save ourselves. I’m just pointing out the obvious similarities between Revelations and Reality here, while knowing there are other, more tangible explanations for them.
Look. Above all, this is about defending myself, the people I love, and all the good people who value the Truth, from harm. Keeping the pain as far away as possible.
It hurts to talk to certain family members. So I don’t. I won’t. That’s the simple truth. They’ve become immoral and represent everything I detest about America. About Humanity. I may love them, but I have no room for that negative energy in my life. No room at all. It just brings me pain. And right now, I’m not looking for that in my world.
You know what I’m about to say.
Self care.
