Americans Are Pissed

Don’t piss it all away…

I heard a guy with an English accent
Use the word “pissed” in the American sense.
No one else noticed.

He was talking to Americans
And Americans certainly know
What it means to be pissed.

A prominent example of an American being pissed. Note the red hat.

We are pissed. We all are.
So much of the time
And for every imaginable reason.

Over there on the other side
Of the big drink,”pissed” means “drunk.”
Being pissed is something you do to yourself.

But what are Americans drinking
That makes us so angry?
I answer that question all the time.

We swim in righteous dudgeon.
We ride a high horse as we wade through the river.
We vote our values.

Apparently, one of those values is revenge.
Another is the fear of being wrong.
But the greatest value is property.

You can own all the things
If you buy them in installments.
The things you own also own you.

Don’t piss it all away, some say.
If piss has no value,
Does that mean it’s free?

Like life in the USA is free?
Or bought with borrowed money?
Or rented, like beer and coffee?

When the Establishment Gadflies Go Gadding About, Causing Massive Cognitive Dissonance.

I’m trying not to repeat things that are being said everywhere online right now. You don’t need that from me. I don’t need that from me. Maybe I have something to say, if I say it now? Someone else will come along with a similar hot take and a larger following soon enough.

Still…

In the aftermath of the Maduro abduction (and the related murders of various Venezuelans in order to accomplish the crime) all I can do is watch the news come out, gather what information I can, and try to think about what’s happening from as many viewpoints as I can manage.

One viewpoint that I’m having real trouble with, though, is the number of people who are willing to try and justify the US’s actions in this case. That hurts my head. There are so many people out there willing to ignore every relevant fact that doesn’t fit in order to say, “The people of Venezuela are actually happy we invaded their country and kidnapped their president and his wife, and killed a bunch of people in order to accomplish it!” How stupid do they think we are?

“Now we’re going to steal all of the good things out of their ground just like a bunch of pirates, which is what we are. But if we’re pirates, we’re pirates for the good of the Venezuelan people!”

And yeah, there’s a brilliant video online already where a guy says he’s taking over his neighbor’s houses “for the good of the neighborhood.” I can’t top that. I can certainly enjoy it though. Go find it, it’s really funny.

But what it comes down to is that Fascism doesn’t give an inch, and it will take a mile if you give an inch. And here’s the time when we see the proof. Remember: these people are stupid – too stupid to realize that in the long term, Fascism always fails, and that the way forward for humanity and the planet is science, reason, and compassion.

We have to be adamant, and set the world on that course.
