FEDIT POLITICS Thread

pisses me off
seems like every administration was like "let's dump this shit on the next guy"
and now the next guy is the guy with the least political experience
of course if pantsuit ckunt were in charge we'd already be at war somewhere

 

Why you pissed off?
What was your plan?
This shit is inevitable and there are only two things politicians can do.
Go to war, or bluff.
We have been bluffing for years, its called propaganda.
War is hell so you bluff your way until you cant escape the coming of hell.
We have not been in a war in a long time, all we have had are 'military interventions'.
The war on terror is not an actual war, it is just a metaphor for propaganda purposes.
So you bluff with these interventions and sanctions and tough talk.
Because you want to avoid all out war. You dont want to come off as a punk though.
Thats why we kill people all over the place and act and sound tough.
Governments must do this, and they have done this forever.
You think the cretins didnt learn their lesson when little David knocked their best tank (tank is an RPG word for heavily armored warrior) out with a stone and a slingshot?
So the cretans got more concrete and built a Blackhawk factory, so little David turned his slingshot into a bazooka and the blackhawks went down.
Cretans come back and build a huge tower to serve as a center for all the worlds top traitors to get together and betray their own kind.
So little David upgrades his stone to a 747.
Now little David has nukes, allegedly. And they are the kind that can hit us here in SoCal to boot. LA being the most important target, although i figure NK is going to target Palo Alto/San Jose/Frisco for a variety of tactical and idealogical reasons.
Take out our tech strongholds in norcal, our entertainment strongholds in hollywood, our financial stronghold by having us involved in so much conflict that we are spending ourselves thin (plus borrowing from NK ally China who can debase our currency with one call) or the terrorists could help NK out and take another plane into the weak exhaust end of our deathstar.
Let's not think of ourselves as the rebel alliance. We squashed the rebels a long time ago, but the south will rise again, right?
We are the empire. And this has been a long time coming.
The empire is well aware, they are not caught off guard, and they hired Trump because this is a time for Vader.
Hillary would have been another Grand Moff Tarkin.
Although I'm not that sure Trump can be Vader. Hope he doesn't turn out to be Nate Gunray though.

"In debating social policy through the language of war, we often forget the moral reality of war."

 

just because it's predictable/inevitable doesn't mean i shouldn't be pissed off

 

It means you should have prepared.
You are pissed because you did not prepare.
By you I mean us as in The U.S.
The US is the greatest empire in history. We have done the most good but like all empires a shitton of bad.
So we are pissed because we are entitled. We don't want to see the hell of war in our land. We know that it will mean the end of life as we know it.
This sucks and we don't know what to do and we look for who to blame.
You are too blame.
As a teenager when you first learned what was coming what did you feel?
In your twenties when you saw that what u started to know earlier was actually happening what did you do?
In your thirties when your faculties are hitting their prime what did you think?
But now when you are past 40 and much much less useful to society for what you think do or feel... What do you say?
Because your feeling of anger is meaningless and kinda silly, too old to do anything, mind too filled up to be reeducated. All u have is your voice. Do you have a voice?
Because there is no bitching in baseball. Specially after already spilled milk.
You know who gets mad when the dog runs away. When the mom leaves them to hang out with some tomcat. When the milk spills?
Pussycats.
They get so mad and territorial.
Because madness is fucking nuts.
And we all crazy as foxes.

 

i am prepared
but really, what can i john q. citizen really do?
write my congressman?
hope for the best, prepare(d) for the worst

 

It's like getting mad you getting old every year n one day will die of old age. You always knew and as it advances towards the end you get more and more signs and the symptoms get worse n stronger.

 

so i should just sit and be content then?

 

Duh, yeah, of course.
If you arent, then what will make you content?

 

You mean that crazy guy?

 

you are prepared, prepared for what and how?
what can john q citizen do? nothing, if you have to ask then it is too late.
you ask because you dont remember

first you feel but cant do anything because you cant do it
then you can do it but you care stuck because you have responsibilities
then you figure out how to do it but you start to lose that loving feeling and you love other things way more... like yourself/your life... style.
you asking too many questions because you cant remember what you felt before you knew what you could do and now you cant do because you dont know because you dont feel and so that leaves you confused which leads to madness/bitterness/disintegration/cynicism like when you first felt it in high school or if you got out of high school alive in college and for some their whole life and the lucky few never.
that is what is coming
and the lucky few like always will be far away in band camp or boy scout trip or whatever and will get away unscathed

 

The only thing you can control is how you react.
Can't control the antics of politicians...at home or abroad.
But there probably are things you can control in your life...spend your energy on them.

 

exactly my point

totally agree
things irk me, but they don't dictate how i react
