An allergy to Peace.🩸
A new rebellion. ViMs July Soapbox Prompt By Mother Combs

They stand at the podium, still vociferating as everything crumbles around them...so immersed in glorifying themselves, they miss the cracks in the walls of humanity poised to fall on their egotistical heads, crushing them at the earliest opportunity.
Or maybe they think themselves immune to human revolt, safely shielded within the power they wield.
An overworked, underpaid, uncaring mob, inured to the blustering and rhetoric, throws missiles at the Old fashioned old timey soapbox podium with the sad skeletons of time as speakers.
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah bl...
"What's he saying". I don't really care, asked carelessly.
"I don't know and don't much care, all I hear is, blah, blah, blah. Same old thing, different day". Bored and tired of the same shite, answered. Bleary eyed, in need of sleep, but has to get to work so as not to be late... Thinking how much the job sucks but it pays the rent and puts morsels on the table. Why should I go and vote for them rich powerful snobs who don't care a lickity split for me or mine?
I don't really care bobbed his head vigorously up and down in acquiescence, agreement and frustrated commiseration.
Everywhere you go the story is the same.
People are just feckin' gosh darned tired of it all.
Revolution by force only gets people killed, leading to looting, wanton murder and mayhem which ends badly for everyone.
Man invents laws which allows one jackass to rule the world unimpeded, with genocide, eradication of the innocent and general death by human pandemic of stupidity, being the end product. If one brave soul dares to intervene, (wink, wink)...to end the vicious cycle...they guillotine, hang, lock up and call them killers, not liberators.
The ones, called leaders, who seem to pop up from the woodworks like cockroaches who never fall ill and just die, appear unhindered and unstoppable.
Why does one man have such powers. He is not a God...nor superhero, he is an antihero, a villain, a mortal...so why is he allowed to wreck the lives of the innumerable souls suffering in silence with abstract acceptance.
What are we doing....really!
America is undergoing (TrumpFantasia) a modern day purge. The very people who joyfully voted in a "Robbing Hood", is seeing the system used against them...One could say, "serves you right for making a madman lead you, blindly serving his own purpose". (Don't they all though, with a few exceptions). Happily, the rich voted for him...they had their agenda well mapped out long ago. Also did they have the proletariat sighted in their binoculars as scapegoats for a financially gullible few who make up the Wealthy Minority with the 'mostess' v the Majority - the 'lot who manage', while sitting on the throats of the 'have nots'.
Putin, Ukraine, Iran, Syria, Haiti- Just about everywhere. Fergedaboudit! Cockroaches...they are everywhere.
Here’s a glimpse into history’s darker corridors - where power was absolute, and the consequences profound:
🩸🩸🩸 We already cited Trumpism...grieves the heart to even allot it a name.
🩸Slavery from the beginning of time, comes in top of the list.
🩸 Adolf Hitler (Germany, 1933-1945)
- Orchestrated the Holocaust, leading to the deaths of over six million Jews.
- Initiated World War II with the invasion of Poland.
- Established a totalitarian regime built on propaganda, fear, and racial ideology.
🩸 Joseph Stalin (Soviet Union, 1924-1953)
- Led purges and mass executions during the Great Terror.
- Enforced collectivization, causing widespread famine (notably in Ukraine).
- Maintained a brutal police state and labor camps known as the Gulag.
🩸 Mao Zedong (China, 1949-1976)
- Launched the Great Leap Forward, resulting in famine and millions of deaths.
- Initiated the Cultural Revolution, which led to persecution, imprisonment, and death of intellectuals and dissenters.
🩸 Saddam Hussein (Iraq, 1979-2003)
- Used chemical weapons against Kurdish civilians in Halabja.
- Suppressed uprisings and dissent with brutal force.
- His regime was marked by torture, mass executions, and fear.
🩸 Benito Mussolini (Italy, 1922-1945)
- Founded Fascism and dismantled democratic institutions.
- Allied with Nazi Germany and enacted anti-Semitic laws.
- Crushed opposition through secret police and propaganda.
These figures shaped history through control, fear, and violence. Yet their regimes fell and resistance bloomed in the cracks of their power.
Tyrants do not care, or listen to reason...narcissism courses through their veins. They have no feelings for the ordinary people...though indeed, we are extraordinary in our own rights.
We are a spinning merry-go-round of sameness. Electing clowns and jokers to lead us into the valley of the shadow of Death!

The pied piper leading the rats to a drowning with empty promises and evil smiles painted on wretched faces.
Subtly, we must rebel. Each subtility joined to a great big whole to dethrone the wrongs and bring peace and truth to the forefront again.

Did not many before us rebel, so that we would not have to. Maybe it is every generation for themselves...rings the town crier sadly, beneath the fake smile he wears to shield the plans for revolution.
TO ARMS...Yet again!
