The world is pretty fucked up at the best of times, but
right now things seem to be becoming unhinged at an increasing rate. A quick skim
through social media and it becomes apparent America is busy tearing itself in
half; those still blinded by patriotism are furiously clinging on to the notion
that Trump is a competent leader, while everyone else screams he should be in
prison. In Britain, the entirely unnecessary Brexit referendum has given a
voice to those we’d hoped had gone the way of the dinosaurs and proved that
stupidity is still the dominant factor.
I think it’s fair to say the right wing has had a grip over
the western world for at least the past forty years. Ever since Thatcher and
Reagan cuddled up and introduced a new extreme brand of conservatism, there has
been little trickling down to the masses as the top one percent insist on
keeping it all. The working class, as a political entity, has been smashed,
stripped of unions and rights, and doesn’t really exist anymore. In it’s place
lies a breed of consumers, who live their lives drip fed by advertisements and
encouraged throughout their education and beyond toward apathy.
But in 2018 there has been something of an awakening. A
group of schoolchildren, survivors of the latest American mass murder, have had
the audacity to open their mouths and challenge the status quo. And you’d
better believe, the status quo don’t like it one little bit.
It’s easy to tell the right wing are rattled, because the
propaganda has gone into overdrive. The usual drool has progressed to outright
lies as they desperately try to pull back the tiny slippage of complete
domination they have suffered. Some of the crap coming out right now would be
hilarious, if it weren’t for the fact there are plenty of people willing to
believe it.
For instance, did you know that if only the NRA had been
around in nineteen thirties Germany, the Jews could have armed themselves and
fought off the Nazis? Or that in the sixties, the NRA armed black folk to help
them battle the KKK, a ‘Democrat sponsored terrorist organisation’? I don’t
know about you, but when I think of the Third Reich and the Ku Klux Klan, I
tend to associate them with being on the right. But apparently not; the GOP and
its fanatics are rewriting history to suit their own particular brand of
bullshit.
So, from hence forth, a democrat is the same thing as a
liberal, which is the same thing as a socialist, which is the same thing as a
communist. You hate America and you want to steal freedom. Go back to Russia. Yes,
Russia; the same country that Trump is alleged to be in the pocket of, but don’t
let the facts get in the way of your stupidity.
And if you think people deserve healthcare, or if you think
we shouldn’t destroy the planet we live on, then you’re a ‘Snowflake’. I have
no idea where this word suddenly came from, but it’s apparently a generic
insult to be thrown at anyone who disagrees with Hitler.
I think we should take the word back. Come on, my
snowflakes, let’s stand up and be counted. Let’s stop swallowing the bullshit
of brain dead, redneck, Nazi warmongers everywhere, who insist on blindly doing the
work of the handful of aging, white billionaires who actually cause all the
damage. Jesus was a socialist. If it was good enough for him, it’s good enough
for me.
