I\u2019m tired of it and I\u2019m sick of the people that live there.<\/p>\n<p>I still can\u2019t believe the enormity of the crimes that these people have committed. They\u2019ve sown discord and chaos all across the world, and betrayed and ruined their own country, solely to ensure that Wall Street executives could give each other record Christmas bonuses year after year.<\/p>\n<p>The scale of their sins is almost too huge to comprehend. They\u2019re not human, these people. They\u2019re monsters, real monsters, and what they\u2019ve done deserves the ultimate punishment, which is what they will ultimately get.<\/p>\n<p>I just can\u2019t with these people. I can\u2019t, and I won\u2019t. I\u2019m over them. I used to watch SNL, mostly for the references to me and the spare bits of humor that I could find in it. No more. There are better things to do with my time than to waste it watching that trash.<\/p>\n<p>What is <em>wrong<\/em> with Hollywood these days? Why must they endlessly celebrate depravity and criminality, especially that of the New York \/ Washington D.C. set? Whatever happened to simply telling a story that might actually have some appeal to normal, non-corrupt people?<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been watching a lot of anime recently, which I\u2019ve just realized I\u2019ve always liked better than the swill they show today on American TV. I\u2019m not alone in that sentiment either. When was the last time an American TV character entered the global consciousness in the way that Naruto or Goku have?<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps things would be different if my household had more than basic cable. I\u2019m sure that the spate of recent HBO shows are superior to those I have access to. But still, the point I made stands. Which one character in the current roster of American TV characters has the universal appeal and global following of Naruto?<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m getting off topic.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m beyond tired of so much attention being paid to the problems of that overrated, broken down, dirty, crumbling, freak-filled, useless city. I don\u2019t CARE if Wall Street goes under. I. DO. NOT. CARE. AND. NEITHER. DOES. ANYONE. ELSE.<\/p>\n<p>What the FUCK, people? Is it really so important to you to keep your financial bubbles going that you will literally destroy the economy of the world to keep them in place? What is WRONG with you?<\/p>\n<p>Lately, a regime mouthpiece, Bloomberg.com, reported that US food prices are up by 19% thus far in 2014. Which of course means that they really are up by 25% at least. And all of this is happening as Obama continues to shove hundreds of billions of dollars a month into Wall Street so those monsters can enjoy their bonuses. Hey Obama, what the FUCK, you stupid idiot? You can\u2019t even do corruption right! This kind of extreme disregard for the welfare of the public is something that not even a third world dictatorship would consider.<\/p>\n<p>The US government\u2019s ONLY duty is to protect it\u2019s citizens. That is it\u2019s only reason for existing. It does not exist to engage in financial speculation. It is not there to interfere in the Ukraine. It does not exist to advertise \u201cequality\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>If it is the case that the American public is protected and doing well, it may be possible for the government to do other things, such as those I listed above. But it *cannot* do these things while there is significant strife at home!<\/p>\n<p>Trust, once broken, is not easily repaired. The bridges between the US \u201celite\u201d and the public have been burnt very badly by the stupid nonsense and blatantly criminal behavior that has come out of NY and DC for the past 20 years. It will take decades of careful actions to rebuild trust- if such a thing is even possible.<\/p>\n<p>For what it\u2019s worth, I do not think it\u2019s possible. I see nobody in the \u201celite\u201d with the brains, patience, or education to do such a thing.<\/p>\n<p>Wikipedia has a list of the factors that are considered elements of a \u201cfailed state\u201d:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Loss of control of its territory, or of the monopoly on the legitimate use of physical force therein<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Erosion of legitimate authority to make collective decisions<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">An inability to provide public services<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">An inability to interact with other states as a full member of the international community<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Also from Wikipedia:\u00a0 Common characteristics of a failing state include a central government so weak or ineffective that it has little practical control over much of its territory; non-provision of public services; widespread corruption and criminality; refugees and involuntary movement of populations; and sharp economic decline.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>People, this is our destination in the very near future. This is where we will be in a year, or two at the most.<\/p>\n<p>All of this really makes me regret choosing to be a part of the establishment in this country, today. I should have just gone off and done my own thing. But I was curious and I wanted to see how all of this would turn out.<\/p>\n<p>There are good reasons why I\u2019ve kept the vast bulk of my hidden knowledge to myself. It\u2019s kept in walled off sections of my mind. Nobody can see into those places but me.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s because I know that the knowledge I have will only be used for negative and destructive things by my \u201cfriends\u201d, since they seem permanently incapable of actually creating anything beneficial or helpful to society at large.<\/p>\n<p>Honestly? Fuck them. As if I\u2019ll tell Lady Gaga, of all people, the steps to fixing her Lupus. She can figure that shit out for herself.<\/p>\n<p>And thanks again, assholes, for the Obama administration. He will without question go down in history as the most incompetent AND the most corrupt President ever.<\/p>\n<p>Really guys, thanks sooooo much!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can fuck itself.
