Where is our sovereign?

In an impotent burst of geriatric seething, “No Kings Day” has come and gone. I have no idea what they’re truly protesting, and I’m sure even they don’t know. No kings? Or just their king? Biden might not have been a king, but he certainly was a tyrant. Or rather, his string-pullers, auto-pen operators, and pharmacologists were. “No Kings” isn’t some principled homage to the founding of America. They don’t care about Constitutional limitations on power, they only care about who wields it. It’s a tantrum thrown by what appears to be mostly white Americans in their 60s and 70s over…deportations?

Weren’t these the same Boomers pushing endless lockdowns just a few years ago, utterly destroying the lives of the young so that they might feel a phony sense of safety? But we know what the lockdowns really were: the tyrannical persecution of the young, happy and content, by miserable retirees. The middle aged and elderly were the driving force behind lockdowns, mask mandates, and the various strictures on the behavior of normal Americans who didn’t live in hypochondriac terror over a mild virus.

The miserable retirees today protested against “kings”, but maybe a king is just what is needed. Democracy and “voting”, on every single issue, has brought us to the brink of utter ruin. We should give more thought to the fundamental truth that, given the choice, a population will invariably vote itself into slavery if promised an easy and carefree life. They will vote for their interests, even if it means parasitically siphoning the life force of other groups, notably the young. This is vampirism via political voodoo, and it has gone on long enough.

The adults have not been in charge for many years, and because of that, a sort of arrested development has occurred among the voting public. Voters act like spoiled children when they don’t get what they feel entitled to. So they agitate, descend into extremism, and either support political violence or engage in it.

Our current system of government appears designed to accomplish absolutely nothing other than a maintenance of the status quo. A President attempts to do something, a judge stops him. The House attempts to do something, the Senate stops them, and vice versa. This will go on until we’re bankrupt or bombed out of existence. Our current system of government will not change, and it appears totally impossible to change it from the inside, through “voting”.

Two things are disturbing: his inability to answer a slam-dunk question, and his reflexive phone check. Both Israel and his device own him.

Remember the Israeli-operated cattle runs for starving Palestinians?

There is something incredibly Freudian about what Israel has done to the Palestinians. Nazis dehumanized Jews, and that abuse somehow became the psychological underpinning of their new nation. The parallels are so complete that they almost cannot be distinguished. Strangely, and this may be closer to the truth than we want to admit, it seems as if the massive concentration camp known as Gaza has been kept and maintained as a form of catharsis for the state of Israel. An outlet for their aggression and revenge. They relive historical wounds in the role of aggressor by inflicting those same wounds on another population. Worse, they feel entitled to do so. This phenomenon has been observed among serial killers, rapists, child molesters, et cetera. They do it because it was done to them. But now their captive population is almost gone. Will Israel seek a new population to inflict ritualistic cruelty upon? Or will they, after 80 years, finally heal?

Or maybe this is totally off base, but we must make sense of it. We’ve witnessed a modern genocide. We have the footage, we have the figures, we have video evidence of the statements made by Israeli officials and their American counterparts. We’ve watched an act of total, nihilistic depravity play out in full view of the world. Even worse, Israel acted with impunity. No one with the power to stop it did so. Aside from Trump. This demands understanding.

Hamas hostages are looking healthy

The newly-released hostages have been released back to Israel, and one thing to note is how healthy they look. Has Israel ever returned a prisoner back to Gaza not looking like a living corpse?

Tech evangelists and the opium den of convenience

The acolytes of tech saturation preach just one gospel: that of a future in which technology caters to our every need, anticipates our every desire, and absolves us of the burden of thinking, or of being human at all. Their god is simply, convenience. But its convenience as a narcotic, a convenience so total that it brings with it an eternal sleep, a living death. How else could the situation be described when machines think for you, live your life for you?

What is the point of living, if not to feel alive? What emotions could such a creature feel, what thoughts could such a creature have, so ensnared all its life in Elon Musk’s black mirror utopia? Can you really feel human while pushing a button that parks your fking car for you? Does this grandiose and opalescent future consist of nothing more than a series of button-pushes up until the moment of death as the zenith of human experience? All our western history and experience, our striving, and to end up as a data point, a puny node, in Elon’s button-pushing wet dream?

We have to wonder what we give up when we opt for allowing our car to pick our parking spot, as opposed to the apparently horrible notion of doing it our goddamn selves. There will come a day when we’ll wonder what path took us to the point that ended with a human slug staring back at us in the smart mirror, a device that’s also bitching at us to take our pills, lecturing us on our spending or eating habits, and squeezing in an ad or two before we shuffle away in self-loathing.

This is akin to the tyrannosaur evolving by choice into a chicken. This is self-enslavement. As the digital drug is refined, purified, enhanced, packaged, shipped, dealt, and consumed, the human experience endures a series of silent extinctions. We have to wonder what we’re selling in return, what this costs us. Well, everything. This viewpoint will be mainstream within a decade.
