You know what's fun about identity politics? They don't matter to anyone but you. That's right, they're just based on what you define as a set of people.
This quarantine has cost people their jobs, their lives, and their future. I've seen people go from 24/7 beach bod to lumpy sacks of shit. I've seen them turn to DYEL skellies.
I've seen people brag about their LA socialite life and their newly leased Euro sports car now tossing everything out, using prepaid "gibs" cards from the government, and now social recluses.
But you know what? I kept working, I haven't lost anything, and I haven't become less social.
But guess what?
I have nothing, gained nothing, and never have. Not once did I say "wow, that's so heartbreaking."
frick you, I've lived a horrible life and my heart doesn't go out to anyone. Because no one has ever given a shit about me. Ever. "Oh lol not with that attitude"
frick no. Even as an innocent child, it was evident that I'd get the short end of the stick.
It wasn't because I'm Hispanic. It wasn't because of the system. It's because life fricking sucks. People are rotten. From the individual, all the way to the structures they create. Not once has there been something truly virtuous or beautiful created by people. It's always been duality since day one.
I don't have issues with police. I don't have issues with the ghetto because I avoid ghetto people and ghetto neighborhoods. I am poor, I am true blue. I don't get up every morning and say "you know what, my life sucks so let me become a junkie, a criminal, or some degenerate that harms other people's success." I don't believe it's because something is inherently wrong with me. It's just the dice I roll.
I accept that my life is my own and know that at the end of the day the only person that's out for me is me. No one cares about me. Not because I'm poor woe me or I'm a victim, but because life is all about what you can get. People only care if they can get something from you. It's why we don't give a damn about the less fortunate and while we scorn the wealthy, we still kiss their ass and give them free shit.
Black Lives Matter today, but tomorrow you'll have new cause to virtue signal. Worse yet, there's gonna be a new bottom of the totem pole group to get fricked.
All I see in the news coverage on the cops side: Workers who couldn't get a better job/chose wrong for the day to feed their families, careerists, hero complexes, and aggressive mindfricked individuals.
All I see on the protesters: Individuals actually affected, virtue signaling white people who have no place there, bandwagoners, and political fanatics.
From the looters: Scum. Just shoot them. They're parasites, once they turn their back on society, turn you sights on them.
Honestly, a funny turn. "Don't gather in groups, social distance because less than 1% of population is dying due to natural causes (a disease). Also please support essential workers."
Now: "Yeah, let's disrupt traffic, make it impossible for people to work as things were reopening and let's fricking torch people's livelihoods."
Bravo people, bravo.
