So, with Trump having had over 50 days in office now, where are we?

The same place we were 50 days ago, it looks like. And the same place we were 50 days before that, and then 50 days before that.

Ugh.

You know what? Fuck it. I need to vent. Hence, this post.

I really, really just hate politicians in this country. Not a one of them is worth the brain power needed to think of a way to criticize them, yet we’re all forced to deal with them anyways.

And I’m getting really tired of hearing politicians talk about themselves, and of hearing others talk about politicians talking about themselves.

So, where are we, now? We’re 50 plus days into the Trump administration, and everything Trump has done since his inauguration has been about him. Not the country. Not even his family. But HIM.

I’ve written before about how my great fear in regards to Trump is that he would turn out to be another traitor like Bush or Reagan, but in this case, even that would be in some ways an improvement, as that would at least show some initiative or curiosity on Trump’s part.

More than 50 days in, and Trump has done nothing of importance, good or bad, and as far as I can tell, he has shown no inclinations to do much of anything in the future, either.

Where is the wall? Where is the crack down on Wall Street excess that we were promised? Where is the immigration stop? Where is the end to street violence? Where is the repeal of Obamacare? And where the fuck is everything else? None of that is here, and it’s nowhere that I can see, either.

There appears to be no substance to his administration. At this point he is looking exactly like the man is described in my earlier posts- he looks like an sheltered oligarch awkwardly aping the mannerisms, concerns and ideals of working class people. In the Oval Office, he looks like a fish out of water almost as much as then Obama did.

Thus far I have found little to like in him or his actions since he took office.

Enough, already, with this talk of Obama wiretapping. NOBODY FUCKING CARES, and Trump, you look like a self-absorbed brat even mentioning it, even if it is true. Just SHUT UP.

Ugh.

Thus far the tone of Trump’s admin has been a mixture of extremely dated 1980’s GOP boilerplate militaristic nonsense mixed with Obama-era multicult garbage mixed Keeping up With the Kardashians. And, UGH, I mean that literally. Thus far, Trump’s three most notable acts as President have been a proposal for a massive and senseless increase in the military budget, a proposal to keep Obamacare up and running (!) in all but name only, and a summit with Kanye West.

People, what the FUCK?

No, no, no!

Trump, you have a JOB to do. You were HIRED by people, in this case the public, to CLOSE THE BORDER, amongst other things.

NOW DO YOUR FUCKING JOB.

Trump, it is not difficult to build a wall. With modern techniques and an infinite amount of money at your disposal, a wall separating the US and Mexico could be built in a week, to be generous to you.

And there is no reason why such a wall has not been built already, except for the obvious one, which is that you, and the rest of the oligarchs, really do not want to build it.

If we can declare war on Iraq and Afghanistan and Libya and Vietnam with a Presidential Order, than surely a fucking wall can be built with one, too.

Look, guys, the circus that is Washington, D.C. is running on borrowed time. The depression that started in 2008 continues, unabated, to this day.

Trump is being given a grace period, to allow him to acclimate himself to the job. But that grace period will not last long. He needs to PRODUCE, and do it like NOW.

Enough!

What I’m thinking now, as I close out this post, is how Trump’s presidency illustrates everything that is wrong with oligarchy.

Trump and the other oligarchs are inherently uninterested in the advancement of the nation, or in the fixing of it’s problems. Their only interest lies in stability- of the country, maybe, but really of themselves. In an oligarchy, those with power work only to keep it, and they will only change if they believe that change will help them hold onto power.

Hence, of course, Trump’s reluctance to fulfill any of his campaign promises. To my eyes, he seems unsure if closing the border will benefit himself, his own constituents be damned. So, it hasn’t been closed yet, and it might never get closed in actuality. I would not put it past him or those around him to half-ass a “wall” with giant gaps that would allow the flood of illegals to only be moderately reduced, as opposed to eliminated. Why? Because this would benefit the rich, and Trump, like the rest of the oligarchs, are all about money and position, and not principles.

I believe that this motivation is what inspired Carson’s recent goofy comparison between slaves and immigrants. What he (Carson, or maybe his handler) is trying to do to generate sympathy for immigrants amongst black people with such idiotic, nonsensical statements. Then, hopefully, Trump can use that sentiment to weasel his way out of his promises.

Well, either that, or Carson is just a typical Affirmative Action employee. Illogical, untalented, and awkwardly foolish, but impossible to fire or ignore without causing too much of a hassle.

You know, what I would really like to see within my lifetime is this: A political administration I can actually respect.

I hope, truly, that this is not an impossibly tall order for the oligarchy to fill. Though it may well be.

I don’t want a president that takes advice from Kanye fucking West, and I don’t particularly want one who comes from a Reality TV background, either. And I certainly don’t want one that is an illegal immigrant from Kenya, or one who deliberately and openly declares war on his own country with a terrorist attack on the U.S. homeland, or one who prefers getting blowjobs from ugly interns instead of preventing the dismantling of the entire nation’s economy.

I’m getting really tired of this shit, guys. Me and everyone else, really.

The oligarchy here runs on inertia and fumes. Once upon a time, a LONG time ago, the people who ran this country were competent, good natured, and wise. They knew how to act in such a way that their actions benefited the people as well as themselves.

Because of this legacy, the fools running the ship now have been given “Get Out of Jail Free” cards by the public. Hence why none of them have yet been executed for treason, regardless of their actions.

Oligarchs- it’s time that you kids grew up, and started acting like adults.

If you don’t, one day, the warnings will stop.

Keep that in mind.

Since publishing my earlier screed, I decided to test my theory.

And in light of the Oscars coming up this week and the whole “whitewashing” controversy refusing to leave the headlines, I feel it apropos to chime in again on this topic. So, here goes.

A lot has been written about the film Warcraft and it’s immense, and to many, incomprehensible financial success in China.

I was curious, too. So, I watched it myself.

I liked the movie, personally. I was pleasantly surprised that the film took more inspiration from the RTS franchise than the MMO, which I was never a fan of (the subscription model didn’t agree with me; seriously, Blizzard, time to go free-to-play with WOW).

At any rate, it was cool to see so much of the stuff from the RTS series on screen, like the big-ass portal that the Orcs used to escape Draenor. Very impressive. And Gul’Dan kicked ass, naturally. Us evil wizards always do, really.

I found the film more Warcraft 2 than Warcraft 3, which was doubly awesome. Maybe the sequel can introduce Arthas and Illidan, or at least Kel’Thuzad. That would be nice.

Is it just me, or did it seem to others that the film took inspiration from the old iOS game Orc: Vengeance as well? I mean, the story about the Orc chieftain being the protagonist and saving the world from evil, etc.

While I’m on this stream of consciousness kick here, some of what Medivh went through with the Fel seems eerily similar to some of what I went through with those ultra powerful dark and death based demonic energies that I experimented with, years ago. I got some weird flashbacks watching Warcraft. Crazy stuff.

Don’t get me wrong; I’m still evil, and I still have access in my brain to that stuff in case I ever need to enslave the Earth, or something. But, that isn’t on the radar right now.

Anyhoo- to a longtime fan of the franchise, the movie was nice.

Um, back on track, here… so why did the movie do so well in China? It’s because it wasn’t Chinese, of course.

It presented to the Chinese mainland a fantasy world that is unlike anything that they have themselves. To them, Warcraft (and the other Blizzard properties) are pure escapist entertainment.

China has it’s own mystical tradition that is unrelated to the European mythological and LOTR based worlds that White culture has. So to them, these Western traditions are new, fascinating and edgy. I think that to those in the far East, playing Warcraft would offer the same escapist thrill that Westerners get when watching Kung-Fu movies, or when getting tattoos of Chinese words, or something like that.

And all of this can be applied to Starcraft and Warhammer and The Elder Scrolls and Mortal Kombat and Avatar and the rest of the modern Western fantasy franchises, all of which have huge followings in Asia.

See, what people here need to “get” is that China has no need for, and no willingness to see, China and Chinese stuff in Hollywood movies. They have their own film industry for that.

I can’t stress this enough. China pumps out hundreds if not thousands of movies of it’s own, every year, that focus exclusively on China and Chinese issues. That being the case, why are people here thinking that the Chinese are begging to see China ineptly shoehorned into American films? They have zero need for such representation.

Done well, pandering to Chinese audiences will get Hollywood nowhere. Done badly, it looks offensive and dumb. So why do it at all?

The best approach to things in the future, by far IMHO, is to ignore China and other cultures completely and go full tilt White and European. This is what the Eastern audience WANTS.

I mean, JUST LOOK at the box-office receipts! It’s right there!

So, upon seeing Warcraft, my opinion still stands.

Whitewash everything.

These have become kind of a tradition here, so here’s this year’s edition.

Sports wise, the short takeaway is that this was a good game, what with it going to overtime, and because of Brady’s records and all that. He really is a great player. You can tell because even I think so, and I’m not a football fan.

That’s the litmus test for real greatness, IMO. If someone who doesn’t follow the sport and doesn’t even know all the rules can immediately tell that you’re the best guy out there, than you probably are. I mean, I only watch one NFL game a year, so I can’t honestly tell the difference between a poor QB and an average QB, or an average QB and a pretty good QB. But Brady? He is awesome- there’s no question. He is the best. Everyone can see it.

Watching Brady tonight, I got flashbacks of watching the Bulls, back when Jordan was our sports hero, here. He is so obviously superior at his sport that even non-fans feel comfortable cheering for him, even when they don’t understand 100% of what’s going on.

It is kind of unfortunate that the Falcons lost. I was actually rooting for them, because I’d learned before the game that they’d never won a SB before. I didn’t know who was on their team, or anything, but I thought it would make for a good ending if they would’ve taken it, kind of like how the Cubs won the World Series.

But… the Patriots deserved it. They were the better team today.

So, congrats, Patriots.

Non-football stuff… Lady Gaga was also awesome, as usual. Hopefully, her performance will lead to a comeback of sorts on the charts.

So, everything was all good, except for… that. The feeling.

That other feeling.

Is it just me, or is football… boring, now? Even the Super Bowl.

It’s puzzling. This was a good game, at least near the end, when it really counted, but… it was kinda boring, even then. It seemed very samey, which struck me since I only watch one game a year.

Something’s happened to the NFL lately. It’s nowhere near as fun or as interesting as it used to be. I think I can say this with authority, since I’m a non-fan. I can look at it objectively.

It was a good game, but it seemed weirdly anti-climatic. To me, it was a tense game with a unique ending that somehow seemed rote and routine. Even with Brady’s epic performance, the whole thing seemed hollow.

Maybe this is the “Cubs effect”. Around here, you can still buy magazines celebrating the Cubs’ World Series win. And a lot of them, too. I went to the corner drug store today before the game and saw fully stocked rows of four different magazines commemorating the Cubs’ victory. And still, the hats and T-shirts were prominently displayed, as if the Series was last week.

It could be that compared to the madness that was the Cubs’ victory, any Super Bowl would look stale here.

But… IDK. The NFL really seems to have lost it’s luster, and it’s aura of mystique. Back in 2015, I wrote another one of these, and I started the post off with this: “The Super Bowl is the only NFL game I’ll really watch, because it mostly isn’t about the NFL. It’s about everything besides.” But, I feel as though even that’s no longer true. This year, I felt as though I was just watching the SB because it’s what I’ve always done, and not because I can actually glean something from it.

The ads, especially, were horrifically boring. God, were they boring. They were awful, awful, awful. It used to be that people watched the SB ads because they were more entertaining than normal ads. But, things have actually swung in the opposite direction. I would have rather watched any normal ads over the SB ads this year.

And it isn’t the politics. I mean, everyone took note of how overtly political and anti-conservative the ads were, this year. But, that isn’t a surprise, or even noteworthy. That’s just how TV ads are, these days. But what is noteworthy is how utterly charmless and devoid of humor this particular bunch was.

Most of the ads were like sermons; like lectures on Proper Behavior. They were morose and tiring, and some were outright condescending. It seemed like there was *no* humor in the majority of them.

It was awful. Really, it was awful.

The ads are making watching the SB a depressing, painful experience. As it stands, I watch TV to be entertained, so I’m thinking of skipping next year’s show because of the overwhelming number of sullen, intentionally boring ads in this year’s show.

The ads this year illustrate, once again, how badly the left is missing the mark these days. Ideals aside, who in their right minds would want to be ruled over by people as flat, condescending and dull as those types who made this year’s commercials?

You know- what I said earlier, about the ads being like sermons, seems more appropriate the more I think about it. It really did seem like Sunday school all over again, because I remember watching movies like those ads all the damn time in Catholic Sunday School classes. Really drives home the Christian origins of the multicultural mentality to me, as if more proof was needed for that.

Beyond the ads, it just seems that football itself is boring, too.

The game itself never changes.

The sports boom was brought on by the advent of HDTVs. For the first time, people could actually see what was going on on the playing field. HDTVs and new camera tech re-invented watching team sports. It made the old games of the past interesting again. But now, that interest seems to be waning.

Football, I think, will likely take the brunt of this.

Football was boosted by HDTVs perhaps more than any other sport. NFL games are perfectly suited for them- they’re just the right length for a get- together with family or friends, and have enough action to entertain, but not so much all at once that you can’t talk with people or get something to eat while the game is on.

IMO the NFL was boosted by the advent of HDTVs perhaps more than any other entertainment choice.

But, the novelty really does seem to be wearing off.

You know… I think I’ve said enough. It’s midnight, I’m tired of typing and I’ve already given this experience more attention than it deserves, really.

One more of these, on the eve of the inauguration.

I’m not sure of how the next 4 years will go, with Trump as President.

TBH, I don’t think as of now that anyone can be.

But, I do want to say a few things.

1) In general, I dislike politics and most political people these days.

It’s all ego, it seems. Nobody seems concerned anymore with facts and on the ground, obvious realities. I do realize that this has always been the case, of course, at least somewhat, but I don’t remember it ever being this bad in my lifetime.

Case in point: all of those ostensibly conservative people and websites- and there are a lot of them- who are proclaiming that Trump is some kind of second coming of Reagan, who apparently embodied working class values.

There… is so much that is wrong with this, and so much that is, I am sorry to say, DUMB with it, that I almost can’t summarize how brutally incorrect this idea is.

I’ve tried before, but here’s a refresher, since it seems that we need one:

Trump’s past is that he is a billionaire, who was born into a very rich family, who made his own fortunes in the Fed-fueled easy money experiments of the 80’s and 90’s, and on his appearances in reality TV shows about monied businesspeople, like “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” and “The Apprentice”.

Reagan was a Hollywood actor and lifelong socialist who joined the Republicans when it was convenient for him personally to do so, and who promptly amnestied every illegal alien and shipped virtually our entire manufacturing base overseas as soon as he took office.

Neither one of these people is or was an embodiment of “working class values”, and it’s still baffling to see intelligent people even claim such.

Reading conservative (meaning, GOP oriented) blogs these days is very telling. You can see plainly how these suckers just keep losing and losing, over and over again. They’re pathetic; they refuse to look reality in the eye. They’re weak.

The left has not been as weak as they are. The left really does demand actual results, as opposed to simple lip service. They expect their leaders to actually deliver. The GOP worshipers don’t; they are too gullible, or too scared, to do so.

The professional “right wing” seems infested lightweights and weaklings.

The left, as well, seems to have gone off the deep end, but in their own special way. There is no discussion, and I mean none that I can see, about any of the very valid reasons why so many people are ardently against them.

There’s been a lot of talk from the leftist intelligentsia about “soul-searching” after Trump’s victory, which to them apparently means pointing the finger at others for their own mistakes. Especially, they like to blame Hollywood for Trump’s victory. Hollywood, it seems, drove the country to vote for Trump as a counter-reaction against them- as if celebrities putting posts on Instagram about their support for Hillary led the common man to vote for Trump, instead, for some reason.

Nowhere on the intellectual left is there any discussion about, say, black-on-white crime as a motivator for people to reject liberalism. Nor is there any meaningful discussion about the systematic and severe job and school-related discrimination faced by poor whites, and most especially by poor white men. No, there cannot be any discussion of that, because that would affect the intelligentsia directly, since so many of them have cushy, tenured jobs in universities and such.

So, they point the finger at others. At Hollywood, for example. I mean, it’s Leonardo DiCaprio’s fault that Hillary lost! Isn’t it obvious?

Not to me, it isn’t. People do still listen to these guys, though, because of their past history of victories. But not because of respect for their ideas, I think. We’ll see if people keep listening to them if / when Trump makes any changes to the system.

2) Like everyone else, I’ve no idea how Trump will do in office. But, there is a good chance that he will flounder and flail in the same way that Obama did.

The country really does seem too divided at this point to be governed effectively. Simply put, the nation is too diverse. There might be no way for any President to get all of the groups in here to see eye to eye on anything.

And especially, I believe that Trump may not be able to reconnect the white working class with everyone else.

I still believe that there is a good chance that 9/11 sunk that particular ship. Once the oligarchs directly attacked the mainland of the US with micronukes or whatever it was that they used to bring the twin towers down, it was probably over for them here.

To appease the white working class now, and to really get them on board again, would require Herculean, and maybe impossible, acts of contrition on the part of the oligarchs.

To eject every illegal in the country, and to make Black America pay publicly for their epidemic of violent crime, would be a good and promising start. But it would only be a start.

I can’t imagine that anything Trump has to offer at this point would be anywhere near sufficient, or even respectable.

Keep in mind that the US today has by far the greatest wealth inequality ever seen in history. Here, the divide between the oligarchs and the white working classes in particular has been growing ever since the Fed was established over a hundred years ago. It may take that long, or perhaps longer, if it is to truly heal.

If such a thing is even possible.

I will not be holding my breath.

3) I don’t envy Trump. Not even a little.

His job will be hard, to say the least, if not even impossible to do well.

The US has been pushing it’s problems aside now since from… who knows, really. But it’s been a long, long time.

The debt needs to be brought down. It cannot continue to grow into infinity.

People need jobs- tens of millions of them, and they need them yesterday.

Obama’s wars need to end, everything else notwithstanding. They are costing trillions of dollars a year and thus are far too expensive to maintain.

And- the government (like the schools) must cop to reality and admit the truth that the races are not “equal” in intelligence level or mental competence. They don’t have a choice about this, IMHO. Everyone from the ages of 23 – 55 with an internet connection knows the truth, by now, regardless of what they say in public. The secret is out, and this is one genie that will never be able to get back into the bottle. It’s over, guys. It really and truly is over.

And I won’t even get into stuff like immigration or whatever.

All of this being the case, I don’t envy The Donald.

His “drain the swamp” stuff, whatever it is, is most likely not going to cut it.

4) Apparently, Trump’s first act as President will be to be sworn in on 2 bibles. Why? PR stunts like this aren’t what’s needed. Trump and his team should be focusing on more important stuff, not clickbait generating nonsense like that.

Besides, Christianity is a dead religion, and most especially amongst Trump’s own base. The White churches are empty. Nobody cares.

Leaving aside my own prejudices, it would be better sign, IMHO, if Trump was to ditch the bible entirely. Now THAT would be different. That would mean that he wasn’t a typical amoral GOP stooge like Reagan, the Bushes and Nixon.

I mean, did he HAVE to choose Lincoln’s bible, of all things? The Bible of Mr. GOP himself? I thought that Trump was supposed to be some sort of renegade in his party. Someone different. Apparently, I was wrong.

But… this is only a detail. And I really should hold my tongue until he has had a chance to prove himself, as I said yesterday.

So, I’ll end this one here.

Trump, if you’re reading this, good luck.

I haven’t done an update on this in a while, so this might be long and kinda convoluted. But… I feel I need to. So, here goes.

1) A few weeks ago, I got to see Lucy Hale’s tits. And some other things, mostly pictures involving Rose McGowan. Pretty wild stuff.

Back then, upon seeing Lucy’s screed about how the leaker can “kiss her ass”, I thought about replying with this:

@lucyhale Gladly.

@lucyhale You guys should have chosen your collective boyfriend more carefully. Oh well, we’ll just see this through to the end, one way or another.

Yeah, so… that was a little dark, I thought, and not at all appropriate for a message that was to be posted a few days before Christmas. So, I nixed the creepy threats and just went with “Gladly.”

I’m glad I did.

But, the point remains. It’s kind of crazy that my girlfriends are so fond of me, considering my history and inclinations. I guess that they chalk all of that up to me being “quirky” or something, but IDK. If I was them, would I trust me? I think. I guess.

I hope.

And yeah, I really was that guy regarding the Paris tape. I was the guy who took that video out of the underground and onto the P2P networks, complete with carefully chosen tags and descriptions designed to garner the broadest possible audience and the maximum amount of exposure from client searches. That one fateful act that morning arguably snowballed into the craziness that we see around us today with leaks and stolen pics and all that.

And of course, I made sure of my infamy that morning by checking, more than once, for the existence of the tape on the P2P networks before I started seeding it. I’m sure it wasn’t there.

That isn’t to say that things would be that different today had I not leaked the tape. TBH, if I hadn’t done it, someone else would have. And it certainly didn’t take long after my initial share for my file to get copied and clipped by others, so that there were dozens of different versions of it floating around of various sizes and qualities (and even some from different sources, I think), with the smaller sized files soon overtaking my own offering in popularity.

Man, though. Those were crazy times, weren’t they? And so long ago. Another reason I didn’t tweet that bit to Lucy is because I’m not sure she’d fully grasp it’s significance.

That really was a long time ago. Things are different now. Mostly.

Shades of Zoey Deutch, here.

2) I’m not sure of what to think about the Rose McGowan pics that were also leaked that week. I mean, they are interesting, and I’m glad to have them, but… isn’t she married? To somebody else?

Which means that perhaps they should be off-limits to me.

Yeah, I’m still hung up on the whole “Fucking Another Guy’s Wife” thing, which may be much to Rose’s chagrin right now.

I think it’s our different cultures. I still exist very much in the traditional, German ethnic blue-collar Catholic Midwestern culture, my own experiences and attitudes notwithstanding. Where I live, it is verboten to fuck someone else’s wife. It just isn’t done.

Sure, I did that back when I didn’t realize that my fantasies were actually real, and then for some time after that, mostly for revenge purposes and other unusual motivations, but then- I got Taylor Swift. And that changed everything.

Now, I have an obligation to Taylor, and some others. Psychic energy is limited in humans, even for me, so I need to direct it towards myself, and to those that are closest to me- people like Swift, Stewart, Lawrence, Watson, and Moretz, for example. They can benefit most from me, and I can benefit most from them.

Rose has her own husband. It’s with him that she should be concerned, and not with me.

After all, I’m not concerned with her- at all anymore, in any way, if we’re being 100% honest.

This is also why I didn’t touch Casey Wilson after her leaks. ’cause she already has someone, and so do I, and Casey and I don’t know each other at all, so maybe we shouldn’t just casually have sex with each other. Don’t get me wrong, I might collect and share the pics and vids because that’s my hobby, but that’s as far as it will ever go with her, as I’m sure is very clear to her by now.

3) Since the Lucy Hale leak, I’ve wormed my way into an underground invitation-only message board concerning the leaks and the hacking that provided them.

To inform anyone who might be reading this: I haven’t tried to break into any of my girlfriends’ accounts, even on those occasions where I have acquired from others their working email addresses and iCloud usernames. They ARE my girlfriends, after all. And I do want to see them nude, and with my knowledge of them and their pasts I probably could crack some of their accounts if I really wanted to, but… I love them. And they love me. And we trust each other.

Case in point, Aimee Teegarden. Or Scarlett Johansson, back when we were together. And Phoebe Tonkin, as well.

No, Phoebe isn’t a girlfriend, but she is friends with Shelley Hennig and Britt Robertson, who kinda are. So, who knows where a cracked email account from Phoebe could lead me.

And no, if I was to start actively hacking, I wouldn’t be too worried about the FBI. I know what I’m doing with computers and in particular with all of this celeb stuff- I mean, I once got a freaking PDF from one of the original celeb hackers that describes in step-by-step detail everything that must be done to break in and avoid detection. That, and I have a pool of others now that I can ask questions of.

And I’m not stupid. I know very well how to cover my tracks if / when hacking. It’s a matter of knowing when to back out; that’s all. Of knowing when to walk away, so that you never call attention to yourself. I’ve talked with so many successful celebrity hackers over the years that I’ve got it all down pat.

You know… maybe I should just stop here.

So, I’ve been staying away, a bit. From here, and from some other things, and people.

Good.

Leaving aside some personal family and job-related stuff, I’ve needed some psychic distance from a lot of things because of a variety of reasons.

First… the holidays. That’s really a time for my direct family, IMO.

Secondly, the election. God, am I glad that’s decided! Though, I will admit, Trump is worrying me a lot right now. I took some time off from blogging after the election on the assumption that it was over, and it was, but apparently it wasn’t fully- at least, not for him, and for a whole truckload of really, really tiresome leftists.

It’s kind of agonizing. I’ve talked about this before. Elections in this country last literally for years. The Presidential election cycle essentially begins the day the winner of the last election is inaugurated. And that isn’t an exaggeration. Watch, you’ll see. The day after Trump takes office, there will be op-eds in newspapers focusing on the 2020 election. Just watch.

That being the case, after the election I had kind of hoped for a brief respite from it all- from Trump, from the GOP, from Hillary, and from everything else. But, that’s not what I got. Not even close.

Ugh. This crap just never ends.

See, this is what I was warning about, vis-a-vis Trump. His style is no different from the rest of them. He seems to really and truly think that all of this is about him. Typical oligarch. Typical spoiled little rich boy. So instead of just clamming up and going about his business, preparing for his term in office like a mature statesman and a real conservative, he refuses to leave those damn twitter spats of his behind him.

And no, I’m not going, yet, to criticize his politics or cabinet choices. Not yet. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt, first. Because it’s the right thing to do. We’ll see who he is and what he does once he takes office.

Thirdly, there’s the whole Zoey Deutch controversy. Since I published that blog post about her, I’ve been having an internal back and forth about some of what I discussed within it, particularly about how disconcerting it is that everyone, including me, her parents and her, just takes it for granted that we’re going to start regularly fucking each others’ brains out, as if it was just some forgone conclusion, decided decades ago, like we’re both involved in some kind of 3rd world style arranged marriage or something.

Not saying we’re not going to do it, mind you. We will. But… it is kinda strange, you’ll have to admit.

Food for thought, on my end.

Fourthly, one of the things I’ve been determined to do this year is to finally use my own powers on myself- see those posts I made at the turn of the new year for my new attitude on this.

And yes, that attitude is different. It represents a break from the past, in which I used the “evil wizard” approach to fixing my and others’ problems.

Basically, I’m tired of advancing myself indirectly, by empowering and then mind controlling others to carry out my will in my place, whether they’re from Hollywood, or DC, or the office, or youTube, or elsewhere. Now, I’m curious to see what I can do w/ my own body, soul and career, directly.

So, one of my projects lately (in the last few months) has been to use my powers to finally get that body I’ve always wanted. Yes, after years of threatening that, I’m finally doing it.

And thus far it’s working, too. Which means good things, and bad, since acquiring the perfect physique apparently requires an enormous amount of energy, both mental and physical. I’ve been draining my fat stores, for example, and that’s been extremely tiring. I feel exhausted, sometimes, and I’m not sure if it’s from my own efforts to mentally direct this or from the toxins that might be now flooding my bloodstream, or both.

At any rate, I’m pretty tired, and I feel that I will be until this particular project is finished.

But it will be worth it, in the end. I’m still curious to see what I look like with a six pack, or whatever it is that I’ll end up with. Should be interesting.

I’m so glad I can do this, now, while not yet working. It really does require tons of energy. Too much, I think, for me to work and force this out, too. But maintenance should be a cinch.

Fifthly, the monster known as the Fappening has returned, along with all of it’s attendant time- consuming craziness and drama.

This… requires a separate post, I think, since I haven’t written about it in awhile.

I think I’ll stop here, for now. I need to ease back into blogging.

I had planned on refusing to blog about politics until Trump’s inauguration, but I know that there are people who would like my opinion on this. And since this issue just refuses to leave the headlines… here you go: a quick and dirty piece on this one, solitary issue.

What I think, contrary to media opinion, is that “whitewashing” actually increases Hollywood’s popularity overseas.

Let’s not lose sight of the obvious and inescapable fact: people do not want to see themselves in the movies they watch.

The whole point of “going to the movies” is to escape from reality. It’s to escape from the mundane, boring world that people must trudge through on a day to day basis.

That said, Chinese people, in China, don’t necessarily want to see Chinese people in Hollywood movies. Many, many Chinese people in China are *sick* of seeing Chinese people. Do you know how many Chinese people are in China? One and a half billion. Yes, that’s BILLION, with a “B”.

Why would an ethnic Han pay money to watch Chinese people in the cinema? If he wants to see the Chinese, he just needs to look out of his window, or turn his head slightly to see his relatives or roommates. Boom! They’re there. They’re… EVERYWHERE.

For most people, “going to the movies” gets you away from people who are like you, your family, your coworkers, and your friends, if only for 2 hours. That’s the real reason that people pay money.

That’s why Sci-Fi is popular. Who on this planet is friends with an alien? Nobody. That’s why they pay the $12.50. To be friends with an talking alien tree for an hour and a half.

This is also the primary motivator behind the Superhero craze. Want to be friends with an indestructable dude who flies? Then see Superman at the local megaplex!

That being said, this also applies to ethnicities. This is why liberals from 99% White communities lavish praise upon films about “The Black Experience”. Because to them, it’s new and different.

This is also why young guys in China watch Hollywood films. It’s because they DON’T have Chinese girls in them. They go to these films to see exotic and foreign white girls like Jennifer Lawrence, not to see some chick who looks identical to the literally tens of thousands of other Chinese girls they’ve seen over the course of their lives. I mean, why would they pay money to see that?

This is why White people are so prevalent in Asian animated shows and movies. Just watch anime from any Asian country for a few weeks, and you’ll see what I mean. Whites are used so much in anime because they’re different. Because to Asians, they’re exotic and interesting. In Asia, the “Magical Blond” is very much a popular and powerful image. To give perspective, think of how liberals here embrace the whole “Magical Negro” trope, and then make that much more prevalent and impactful.

My opinion?

Whitewash everything, and I mean everything. Remember the point of entertainment. Give foreign audiences a distraction from their real lives and problems, and not a reminder of them.

This power. It’s… unreal. Incredible. It’s almost hard to believe, even for me.

This year is my plaything. Anything I want, anything I desire, can be made mine.

It looks like my year of research has paid off. Thanks, 2016.

Now, the sky is well and truly the limit. Or not… maybe there is none, now.

We’ll see.

A new year, and new powers.

And a renewed determination.

Perfect?

Hmmmmn…
