World geopolitics got me feeling stressed, but also
not really. The constant immediacy of the impending end in the age of the
internet causes metaphysical adrenal fatigue eventually. But what’s certain is
it seems in many places around the world, the assholes are determined to keep
their power by pointing at some other assholes and getting all the people
worked up about how they should be afraid of those other assholes. And you can’t
get at these assholes, to shut them down the old-fashioned way. Like both in
the United States and Iran, right wing assholes who want to blow shit up are
using each other to rally people to let them blow shit up. It’s bizarre – it’s
like a funhouse mirror of two dogmatic hypocritical bomb-happy cartel of
shitheads looking at each other, pretending they’re entirely different. And it’s
not like poor people will unify and rise up to overthrow all these oppressors
globally because lolol poor people are fucking poor. They’re trying to keep
their head above metaphorical economic water if they’re middle class (which is
actually generally speaking not middle class, but that whole scale is warped by
the extreme upper class anyways), or they’re literally just trying to fucking
eat and survive the week if they’re for real poor. How the fuck do you organize
that shit? You got a bunch of people out here barely holding their shit
together? Some random spark organizes those situations, full of human tinder
built from frustration and lack. Anyways, fuck the news, fuck presidents, fuck
supreme leaders, fuck senators, fuck candidates, fuck mythologies of the
exceptional character of any individual nation-state, whether here or there.
Fuck it all. (Which is not a nihilistic “fuck it all” but one that is full of
hopes and wishes that humans weren’t so horribly flawed at such grandiose
levels all the time.)
