How The Dominoes Fall

How the dominoes fall

http://reason.com/blog/2014/12/01/chris-rock-stopped-performing-for-studen The last line, though interesting and relative to the article, whether by the author's volition or not, indicates a much more troubling fact: Americans are being taught from the earliest ages possible they should downright fear anything contrary to keeping the status quo of everyone is equal and everyone is the same; parents, teachers, religions, administrations forcing the next generation to avoid at all costs even hinting someone may not be exactly like themselves, even though another may be as akin as the Earth is to our sun. This is not merely developing the next generation(s) into overly-sensitive, wishy-washy, dull, cowering "pussies" (as the general term ascribed to such people); this grooming causes these generations to embrace an intellectual plateau no higher than the lowest-common-denominator, refuse competition in any form, expect handouts based on non-extant achievement, abhor anything that may cause their limited intellectual capacity to grow beyond what's been spoon-fed to them (via older generation, media, equally-misinformed peers, media, and media [Did I mention media?]), and absolutely, never, ever, do anything that may require more than a modicum of effort, especially when it may cause someone else stress. What this did to my generation and those following was allow the leeching older generations to maintain a foothold of their xenophobia, technophobia, and epistemophobia while ensuring they retained their comfortable lifestyles as bigots, profiteers, fear-mongers, corrupters, and saboteurs of human progress. This all for the sake of keeping their power until their otherwise parasitic lives end with them having more than everyone else because they made sure no one could upset their apple cart. Our generations (mine and following) were bred to be indecisive, afraid of change, and lost in order for older generations to perpetuate a near religious dominance over us. They are the shepherds, they know better than we do, they can lead us, they have the resources, they have the power, they know more than we ever can, and all we have to do is twist our rationale to convince ourselves we need them. We are being lied to. We've been lied to. We are not special. Of all the creatures on this planet now and that have ever been, why in the fuck would humans all be equal? This mentality has helped make our generations the most apathetic, stagnant, weak, and mindless to walk our countryside. WE are to blame for racism. WE are to blame for classism. WE are to blame rampant stupidity. WE are to blame for violent, arrogant, and ignorant interpretations of religious texts. WE are to blame for saying there's nothing we can do. WE are to blame for our country's downward spiral. We are not our parents. They didn't have what we do, and it's our job to learn to deal with that. Our grandparents and great-grandparents cursed us all by giving us wondrous contraptions that can shatter our planet. Our parents were all too happy to play off the fears of our ancestors in order to turn a quick buck, but since our parents don't want their children doing the same, they've perpetuated a system to make each generation after less like Men (not gender, actual species) and more like sheep. The fact I had to add that parenthetical addendum clarifying what I meant by "Men" is evidence enough our generation is all too eager to misunderstand, take offense, and argue mundane details amongst ourselves rather than look at the larger picture. Men are men. Women are women. Black people are black people. Yellow people are yellow people. Brown people are brown people. White people are white people. Grey people are grey people. Red people are red people. What turned these labels into slurs were not why they were used in the first place. The way our generations are receding, we'll have to stop calling planets "planets" or water "water" because someone might get offended that the planets or water might get offended. We won't have basic colors anymore because those might be racist or sexist somehow. Do you know what you people complaining about everything not catering to the least-common-denominator and faceless masses have done? You people, our generations, have caused more racism, more religious intolerance, more intellectual intolerance, more violence, less education, less cooperation, and greater poverty on a massive scale than any government administration in our country ever has. Your incessant complaints, lawsuits, and threats have backed our own Bill of Rights into a corner, and gave opportunists rule of law. WE are hanging ourselves. WE are letting our generation be the absolute worst. WE have let bias, greed, apathy, arrogance, and ignorance become our battle standards from under which we shout misinformation and hatred at each other. Are we truly this downright stupid? Are we so utterly blind? Our generations are an insult to our species. We've fed the trolls, and they did a great job making us hurt each other. It seems we enjoy getting duped.

You know you're a POS when you have zero doubt in your mind that invading another country is okay, and you refuse to hear out anyone that believes it may have been a very poor/internationally immoral choice. Or you are when you are so rife with corruption you don't want to accept responsibility for stealing millions from your country to build yourself a nicer mansion.

What Would [Insert famous person's name] Do?

This creeper at work keeps hitting on me. I suppose it was my fault he found out my phone number, but he continues to text incredibly inappropriate things. Mainly trying to get me to sleep with him or send nudes. Thing is, I'm not gay, and he knows that. Told him that over a dozen times. He's even threatened to find where I live so he can "spend time with me". I've tolerated it thus far, but it's been a little more than uncomfortable a lot of the time. Could start a sexual harassment complaint, but that's a can of worms probably not worth opening. Fucked up how that works, isn't it? Can't even do that without getting a ridiculous amount of backlash and probably killing my career. Could just block his number, but I try not to be too much a jerk. Eh. It's all bullshit. I've nothing against homosexuals, homosexuality, or any level of LGBT. Love is love, sexuality is sexuality, and happiness with yourself is what begins becoming more for others. It's just incredibly disturbing when what amounts to sexual harassment occurs. Can't imagine what it's like to be most females on social media these days. My outside perspective thinks it's really shitty most of the time. I try not to be a jerk, and I even apologize for writing or saying something clearly a joke. But, for people to be serious when they say the stupid shit they do makes me exceedingly angry. Red-out angry. I can't even call a girl names during sex (when I know she likes that kind of thing) or be super dominant in a relationship. I'm not the submissive type, either. Balance is my preferred state. A girl I can have pillow fights, Nerf battles, or spar with. Competitive, direct, and open. That's my taste, though. I know there are a lot of guys who want their girls to be second banana, and there are girls who like that (a very good friend of mine is that way); however, being fuckbucket misogynists and having heads so far up their own asses they amount to human Möbius strips doesn't give them any right to talk to anyone how they do. Think it earns them the right of letting a woman much stronger than them (Rhonda Rousey, perhaps) ensure they never regain full functionality of their bodies. The internet seems like a shitty place to be female. I'm sorry if I've ever been one of those guys. Something needs to change. It has to happen, doesn't it? Hard to believe it still hasn't happened, and the little progress made is very quietly pushed to the back burner. The stupidity of the human race can be so appalling.

The more you know

I saw the term "fuckboy" for the first time today. Not directed at me (I have a strange aversion to women. Only reason I even met my last ex was through a coworker). Anyway, it seems I really missed the harbour for the ship from the land of retarded dirtbags. Part of me wonders if this was a latent characteristic in too large a percentage of men who just didn't have the proper outlet for their useless douchebaggery, or if social media/pop culture/etc. have, in part, spawned a new race of... Ick? Is that a good way to describe it? I'd say slimers, but that'd be kind of insulting to the Ghostbusters character. I've already admitted I made a lot of stupid mistakes in the couple relationships I had, but... damn... I hate one ex with what I'd hope is enough ferver to cause nuclear fusion, but I don't see how that should make me entitled to anything. Is this what it's come to, though? Some sense of entitlement solely because you're a male? Some girl didn't treat you right (or like you wanted)? CALL THE FUCKING WAAAAAHMBULANCE. Treat a woman how she wants to be treated. Is that such an arduous task? Yeah, Tinder and dating sites have a pretty good volume of people wanting sex. Does that mean EVERYONE on there is immediately, desperately, helplessly in such dire need for sexual contact they should all be subjected to... Ick? (I like the suspense from ellipses. It's like "Legen- -dary" It's a good buildup) I can feel my brain almost overheating trying to figure out just... Why? It's almost as difficult for me to fathom why there are so many money-obsessed fuckers in the world when a 30¢ bullet can make that money not mean shit anymore. Or as maddening as the totality of the universe, our complete lack of knowledge or thirst for exploration, and how utterly insignificant and useless we are (especially compared to a 30¢ bullet that can at least change something in the immediate area). I feel the gears siezing at the notion some guys think they're so integral to the operation of the planet, their dicks/looks/money/whatever are cause for any and every woman they want to strip down and fuck wherever they happen to be. I'm not religious. I hate religion for what it is and tends to do to many people. But, one thing that nearly every religion in existence has ever had in common is what most people call "the golden rule." I don't know why such a purely basic concept requires a gilded name (probably some bullshit about gold being worth something as currency), but is it that fucking hard to not be a fuck-shit stack? When did that concept devolve into "I show u mah dik u suld send nuds"? (My brain nearly hemorrhaged typing that) I'm trying to figure out what would happen if law enforcement and the justice system got their heads out of their asses and actually allocated time and funds to taking online sexual harassment and assault seriously. I think some fuckers would find themselves out their precious smartphone they use to prey on other women. See how fucking awesome they are with a flip phone and a name that is legally forbidden from online dating. (A fake name wouldn't work out in the long run) You know, maybe there should be a push for that. Banishment from social media as a legal function, not some shit to be ignored by moderators and businesses. There's got to be money enough in there somewhere for someone to run with it. I, for one, do not have that kind of money. Or, really, not much money in general. Food is too tasty for money. Money sounds most unpleasant as a meal or snack. Or drink. Goldschlager may be an exception; though, I cannot recall ever having it before. Where was I? Oh, yeah! JUST FUCKING CUT THE SHIT, YOU FUCK-SHIT STACKS. You have as much right to assault women's vision and emotions, as I have to assault your eyes with metal filings. No, those two are far more similar than you think. I'm not some dumbass white knight, some hero wannabe, some super-nice and sensitive guy women would be lucky to have. I'm neither conceited nor delusional. Learned from my mistakes. I might never be in a relationship again, never have sex again, whatever. At least I can say I'll have gone without being an utter fuckwit to any random woman who is connected via physical proximity or cyberspace.

The only thing you should be worried about is this question I'm about to ask you: Who wants a taco?
