THOUGHTS MOST SINISTER...

.

Fuel companies:

Yes, we did make billions in profit,

"But by giving that to our shareholders we are promoting and encouraging future investment in infrastructure."

"If we lower prices or return that money to customers, they would only get a very tiny bit of cash each."

"And that would achieve nothing!"

"It would be a waste!"

.

E6 economic bracket fuel customer:

"I wish I have a few coins to get a tin of beans,"

"So, I did not have to queue at this food bank."

"A tiny bit of cash would make all the difference to me, right now."

.

Some of the self-elevated need to let their bare angelic feet touch the earth occasionally!

Because things are getting real shit down hear for all of us, “other” mere mortals!

.

.

If you are only being a decent human being, just to get the bribery of Heaven or avoid the threats and intimidation of Hell

- Then you are being a decent person for ALL THE WRONG REASONS!

.

.

The idea that good defeats evil is just a silly fairy tale for children.

The direst and most ruthless always win,

The evilest is always victorious.

Then they get to rewrite history afterwards!

.

.

IT AINT JUST FLEAS!

.

Great revenge causes little revenges upon their enemies to hate 'em,

And little revenges cause more revenges, and so ad infinitum.

And the great revenges themselves, in turn, have greater revenges as causes to go on;

While these again have greater still, and greater still, and so on.

Doing work and putting effort in that your boss would never touch with a barge pole?

Holding down two, maybe three jobs needed and still, but there is not enough to live on?

Dare ask for an extra dollar, and they look down on you as if you shat in their sandwich?

When did your kids last eat?

And what nutritional quality did it/could it have, on both your financial and time available to cook budget?

Will worse food harm their health and their ability to learn and be educated?

.

…At a certain point, crime, even violent crime, becomes a valid moral choice.

- If you have never seen, touched, felt, smelt, and tasted that point

Seen the suffering

Touched the shit, feeling it go under your fingernails

Smelt the ice-cold purification

And tasted the acid in your mouth from nutritional starvation.

- even from a relatively safe distance

- Then any moral judgment you offer is born of nothing but piss, wind, and sheer ignorance.

- At a certain point, crime, even violent crime, even organized violent crime, is wholly society's fault.

It is their own sins made manifest and that same society's own self-served punishment.

.

You may become a victim…

Robbed at knifepoint, or worse.

You may cry at the violence and injustice of your pain.

But the real reason it happened was that people with more than enough money thought it was funny and clever to find creative ways to keep it,

Instead of paying their fair share.

.

Your attacker was very likely a victim, of immoral yet legal crime…

… many times over, first!

.

The rich are responsible for the crime against you

Your attacker just held the knife!

Violent Crime is a symptom of a critically broken system

It is a sign of a collective failure as a species.

It is NOT a reason to weirdly celebrate in our mass media and culture

.

Things that the Peaky Blinders (and other gangsters) are NOT.

NOT HEROS!

NOT CHEEKY ROGUES!

NOT GOOD GUYS!

NOT ROBIN HOODS!

NOT MISUNDERSTOOD!

JUST FUCKING THUGS!

JUST COWARDLY NARCISSIST SADISTIC SOCIOPATHS!

.

DEAR WORLD!

STOP IDOLISING COWARDLY NARCISSIST SADISTIC SOCIOPATHS!

(Eg, The Mafia, and the Krays, etc)

.

YOU STUPID BLOODY IDIOTS!

.

VIOLENCE IS NOT EXCITING!

VIOLENCE IS NOT GOOD OR BAD!

IT JUST IS!

.

DO IDOLISE THE BRAVE INCORRUPTIBLE COP, SURROUNDED BY THE CORRUPT, THAT STILL REFUSES TO BE CORRUPTED!

BUT THEY HAVE NO FRIENDS BUT DO THE RIGHT THING ANYWAY!

.

DO IDOLISE THE BRAVE PROSECUTORS, THAT KNOW THAT PROSECUTING IS A DEATH SENTENCE!

BUT THEY DO THE RIGHT THING ANYWAY!

.

DO IDOLISE THE BRAVE WITNESSES, THAT KNOW THAT TESTIFYING IS A DEATH BY TORTURE SENTENCE!

BUT THEY DO THE RIGHT THING ANYWAY!

.

DO IDOLISE ALL THOSE THAT RATHER DIE A HORRIBLE SLOW DEATH THAN EVER BEND TO EVIL!!

EVEN WHEN THAT INCLUDES THEIR OWN FAMILY!

BUT THEY DO THE RIGHT THING ANYWAY!

.

THESE ARE YOUR REAL HEROES!

NOT THOSE SORT OF SHITHEADS!

You May think that I am just being a mad ranting socialist…

BUT WAIT –

I am not!

At the risk of being figuratively crucified…

… WE are the problem!

.

Socialism (by itself) is NOT the answer!

Capitalism (alone) is NOT the answer!

.

Capitalism is NOT evil

Socialism is NOT evil

.

Capitalism is NOT good

Socialism is NOT good

.

Both are just organizational tools

They are NOT religions

Neither are faiths to be blindly followed!

.

NEVER use a hammer to cut wood.

NEVER use a saw to bang in a nail.

Instead, ALWAYS, Use the right tool for the right job!

.

STOP WORSHIPING MERE TOOLS!

.

Theoretically, BOTH COULD, Alone, be an almost perfect system.

Except for one major flaw…

.

The Flaw is US Humans!

Our own innate crappy human natures.

Not in the organizational tools that we choose to use!

.

.

EXAMPLE: That rage you are currently feeling? Justified or otherwise? THAT is part of our shared problem!

I happen to self-identify as being "always right",

So don't oppress me!

.

.... Only a man capable of violence can be a real pacifist.

The same way that only a person with plenty of access to food can go on a diet!

The rest are just starving...

... and telling themselves that they are on a diet.
