My continuing thoughts here are this:
I am sick and tired of being treated like a child. I am human, like everyone else. Just because I’m different- a telepath- doesn’t mean that I shouldn’t be treated with the same respect and accorded the same dignities as everyone else.
I see all of this not really as something specific to me, but as a symptom of how corrupt and selfish the oligarchs are in this country.
A week ago, an old video resurfaced of Donald Trump’s family listening to Taylor Swift in his car. When I saw that video again, I understood it for what it was- a dumb, infantile attempt by the Trumps to connect with the working class base. Table scraps for the peons. A pat on the back for the slaves.
And, perhaps Trump was trying to curry favor with me, somehow. Maybe, of course, I don’t know for sure. But if he was, that’s not how it works. I’m not a child, Trump. And neither are any of the people who voted for you, you asshole.
And no, it wasn’t just a random video. With a potential presidential nominee- and especially one who ran for President before- nothing is ever random.
This kind of perennial disrespect, endemic in this country more than any other, really, really gets on peoples’ nerves.
Do I need to talk about that recent survey that said that half of working class Americans feel like strangers in this country? If not, I’m going to, anyways.
It’s that continual, dismissive arrogance of people of Taylor Swift and Donald Trump that causes this. These assholes just sit there, sequestered away in their castles, fiddling away while the rest of society burns to the ground around them.
I’m getting tired of feeling like this. Always, always, even if you develop superpowers, you are disrespected and pushed off to the side by the A-holes in charge. Because you’re not in their network, or because you’re a traditional white male in his 30’s, and thus not allowed into the Kool Kids Klub enjoyed by the infantile oligarchs and their semi-literate “civil rights activists” from the protected classes.
Oligarchs, I could level you. All of you. Bulldoze the entire regime and put all of you 6 feet under. The Trumps, the Clintons, the Kushners, Soros, the Rockefellers, the Swifts, the Zuckerbergs, and the rest of you. Not a one amongst you could stand against me, if I were to attack you with my full force. I know this. Of that, there is no doubt.
To say nothing of what would happen if others were to join me. Which they would.
Oligarchs- you assholes are being put on notice. I am not here for you. My powers are not here for your enjoyment. I live for myself, and for what I deem to be just and good, and right.
Heed this warning. It will not be your last, but it means more than the others have, until now.
The clock is ticking, you dumbfucks.
