Sheeple’s Resistance

Sheeple

This is one of those terms.  The people who say it, seem to do so to the point of rendering it meaningless.  It simply becomes the go-to battle cry for us against Them.

Logical Discourse 101

“Them” is always some kind of monstrous representation of some hideous force, the mindless sheeple are too consumed by to notice.  It’s the verbal representation of all you are supposed to fear.  Summed up in one innocuous word.

Fear

We fear, as a species that which we cannot comprehend.  That which lurks in the shadows, just out of sight.  We cannot grasp it, nor see it.  We only know “it” and “them” are to be feared.  Don’t misunderstand their is true terrors in this world.  The horrifying part is, statistically it’s more likely to be your neighbor than the cop on the corner.

There is true evil in this world.  Monsters, that don’t live in your closet or under your bed.  These monsters live down the street, on the  next block, or a leader in the church or community.

Communicate Instead of Accusing

Try this, instead of outright calling someone a “sheeple” or proclaiming said individual being one of Them try communicating.  Logic goes much further than insults.  Take away the fear based communication.  Introduce logic and common sense.

Media’s Monopoly

You have fear shoveled down your throat everyday.  Panic induced by advertising and media.  Take a step back, really look at your surroundings.  Breathe. 

The world is bad right now.  It was never the pristine place of your dreams. 

Realize this.  Yes, this are getting worse.  You’ve survived thus far, you can make it further. 

Take away the grips of fear.

Get angry.  Let yourself get angry. 

Now tell me:  What will you do about it?

 

Delusional Revolution

Reading what I wrote a day or so ago about Feminism’s Bastardization.  I realized I was in full on rant like a loon mode and didn’t really get my main point across (I confess, I get this way at times).   Granted, I still stand by what I wrote (no backtracking from me) but it seems my main issues with Feminism now a days (doesn’t that saying just conjure up images of drinking lemonade whilst sitting in a rocking chair?) is it’s separation from it’s original ideals. 

Simply- Equality

Not to drastic eh?  I know I can’t go around thinking everyone thinks like me.  I know damn well they don’t.  I’ll even go out on a limb and admit, I get confused with the way I think at times.  My beliefs aren’t fully set in stone (no one’s are, when they get to that point inevitably you will be so pulled in you can’t listen to anything else).  There’s also a hell of a lot of grey area.

At the end of the day though, it still seems as if acting like a free prostitutes (I know not all), is the only revolutionary thing a lot of women do now.  Claiming it’s freeing.  Honestly, that bugs the hell out of me. 

The mindless and self-serving promotion of a horribly misconstrued ideal. 

That’s not revolution.  It’s delusion.

Now, this is a shock image.

Trickle Up Economics

I think we’re in a bit of a throwback economic mess at the moment (really, we’re full on tanking).  Now with another big name thrown in, (WaMu, namely).  Things are looking like they will just be getting choppier.  Granted I’m not really surprised at this, all in all it’s pretty much in line with what one would expect.

The government tried the economic stimulus package with it’s citizens, and aside from gambling and porn spending going up not much else changed.  So here we are, are we on the verge of a full collapse?  Reaganomics didn’t work so well.  Giving the people money didn’t work so well.  The brutally rich trickle down to every day people effect didn’t happen.  Seriously though, who the hell though that they got rich by spending? 

What wound up happening, is the taxpayer money is going to “help” the big companies that screwed themselves over with bad business.  The people who made bad deals with loans?  They’re just screwed.  That is, trickle up economics.

Ahh America…
