It’s Tuesday morning just before noon in Belarus so I am a little preemptive here. A glance at the poles shows that things are going to be tight but that Harris is going to be the winner. You never can tell. You never can’t tell the level of honest excitement and you never can tell the level of shock and disbelief that some people are experiencing at all of this nonsense.
I believed that it was my Civic duty to speak as loud as I could concerning Mr Trump’s bid for office starting in 2016 and then again in 2020. It seems that everything that I have ever believed as being right and good for people was being put into question. And truly, the converse was also true. Everything I hated about the world seem to be condensed into one orange iconic cold sore of a man, flagrantly laughing at the law while somehow saying that his was the correct way for people to live. Well, everybody is clever with their money because this is the world we live in. But you can’t make enemies unless you live in a tower with an army to protect you from them. The philosophy doesn’t translate to individuals actually living in communities.
My pic was Kamala Harris. It came from a little flash of video where she was taking it to some bullshitter on the right side of the aisle. And she was just leaning into him asking him if he truly believed his own bullshit. A prosecutor? An angry non-white female prosecutor. Tell me we did not have the perfect ingredient.
Well now it’s 2024 and my perspective in all of this is that this has been a gigantic waste of time, resources and has done nothing but make the world worse to live in. Individually, people get that daily track decorated well if they have enough money to pay for it. If they have enough money to pay for it, they get coverage by social media. And who controls the media? Who controls the algorithm? And really, who determines how all of this gets filtered to us. I am vegan yet it is amazing to me how many hunting videos show up in front of my face. I have no interest in guns or violence. Why is it so many images of killing and hate are in front of me. And I’m really not interested in capitalism because I don’t believe in the things wealth can buy and yet, I keep getting shown these merciles vicious business videos that are entertainment for people. Game of thrones is with us. The world is futile because it is feudal. We are living and dying at the whim of economic royalty. There is no democracy because there is no humanity.
I imagine myself as one of my working friends from somewhere in Europe or America or here. And let’s say we take someone who is 30 years old or 35. And we say what do you want? And the only answer they are going to come up with is to be allowed to keep going. If they are alive at 35, they have already built up their life and if they don’t continue feeding their life, their life will collapse. This means to continue working at whatever it is you have allowed yourself to be enslaved by.
Let’s go a little bit older. What about the ’50s? At this point one wonders where the energy is starting to go. There are more compromises and lies than there used to be. It’s much better to allow other people to do things than to have to do everything yourself. And possibly we’re talking about more money or more ready threat of death because there isn’t any. What do they want? What do they need more than anything? That’s right. Just to keep going. Just to keep going.
At what point are we not desperate to keep going? Because this going seems to require private automobiles burning gasoline and that’s pollution. These private enterprises seem to produce a lot of shipping which uses a ton of plastic, none of which does anything but fill the world with garbage that has no other place to go. We’re doing all of this with non-biodegradable materials and using absolutely filthy forms of fuel. We’ve destroyed the water with our plastics and our garbage. We’ve destroyed the air without our emissions and we’ve destroyed the land looking for perpetual profits instead of ways to work sustainably. The world said it wants to be fed now. Now is the opportunity for wealth to be acquired. Now is when we have destroyed the world with 9 billion people all trying to keep something going that should not be kept going.
Kamala Harris wants us to keep going. She thinks this is the correct message. It’s not the correct message. The correct message is it’s time to stop. The correct message is we can’t do this anymore because it doesn’t work. The correct message is that she was a prosecutor because that was the most needed thing in the world in a corrupt government that was hell bent on bringing misery to people to inspire greater profits. She didn’t mind any of that. She just didn’t appreciate that they were so smug.
So for me, I want to say that the eventual call that she wins the presidency will be a happy thing for me. In a way, in my own subversive way, I have been in her camp for a long time. She was my pic and now she gets a chance to do her thing. And all of this is wonderful for the story. It’s amazing she did it without dragons although you never know what she will pull out of the hat for her second term. I only am interested in what happened to me. And I was brutalized and the United States did nothing to help. I was brutalized here because of American policy and it didn’t seem to bother them one bit. I’m talking about the government and my American friends. It’s a really interesting place to say that I’m behind them and feeling patriotic and trying to do my social duty when the truth is I completely disagree with the lifestyle and what the place physically does to the rest of the world. I’m not a fan of the USA. I’m not a fan of Americans. I am an American and my vote is that the boat’s going in the wrong direction.
So let’s count up the votes and let’s yell and scream a little more. The team I voted for in Japanese baseball won the championship. It seems everything that I vote or pay attention to becomes more successful. Maybe this is something I’m imagining or maybe it’s just the truth. I’ve put a lot into Kamala Harris. I think it would be nice if the idea of a sustainable Utopian goal instead of a bunch of drug addicts trying to keep it going might be a better way to run the wealthiest country in the world. It might also be nice to generally stand down their military and get out of the oil business generally. It’s time and we don’t have any choice.
Wednesday morning 10:00 a.m.
The poles are basically showing that Trump is taking all of the swing states. It isn’t even really that close. It’s hard to say what went wrong or what went right. The only thing I have to say is that I don’t want any part of this. I don’t want any part of Donald Trump leading anything. I don’t want any part of the United States of America being led by the conservative party. I don’t want any part of this economic juggernaut at a time when the world is so sick from pollution and misuse. I am sick but I guess it’s understandable.
We are drug addicts. There’s nothing else to say uplifting about people. I know that when you go online, you are obligated to say positive things. Even saying negative things will get you strikes from the algorithm. The way we are taught to live is to go along with the popular wave. Go along with it and don’t worry too much about anything. Don’t worry about the truth, don’t worry about the science of anything, just please yourself and that’s all you need to do to live.
Of course this is absolutely no way to train people to live in the world. You can’t raise selfish idiots who go me before you before everybody. You can’t raise a world which is looking for a fight. You can’t have a world we’re beating people down is the norm and learning to deal in a world of hatred is the way to live. We were taught by the Northern Europeans to live like you’re Northern Europeans. They know they have absolutely nothing positive to give to the planet and yet they live with it because they themselves live. And of course they have enough money to stay inebriated enough all the time never to feel any pain from anyone or anything. I’m sorry, this planet is a failure.
But if this is the way it goes, I’m going to accept the result but I myself don’t want any part of this anymore. I don’t want to comment and I don’t even want to look at it. I don’t want to be a part of a shit show. I don’t want to waste any more of my life because I don’t have so much life to waste.
So, although it’s officially not called yet, it certainly seems that we see which way this is going and barring some mysterious comeback from late counted write in votes, We need more gibberish in our lives for four more years. Americans can’t tell the difference anymore. And I can’t blame them. Americans are beaten to death by their environment every day and yet they have to figure out a way to work harder than they want to everyday just to keep the abuse going.
Well, now you know. There’s nothing to believe in because we’re gone. We are too stupid to live. We are too stupid to have ever been allowed to live. We are garbage.
