Something ... broke in me today. I came across a link about advocates for the homeless calling on the government of NYC to lift the ban on going through trash cans- so the hungry and homeless could find food.
Somehow ... the majority of Americans have found a way to accept this, to excuse it, to turn a blind eye. This is beyond ignorance, beyond cognitive dissonance. Today we have joined the ranks of evil, we have stepped into the same line waiting for destruction as the Germans did in Nazi Germany, the Russians under Stalin, the Chinese under Mao, the Kampuchians under Pol Pot. We are unclean, and we know it!
Here's what I wrote regarding the insanity of right minded people having to beg the government to respond to human suffering:
"I have to remark on this. In fact, I'm going to rant, cuss and act up in ways found unacceptable by polite society. Governance in the last 13 years has given us more hungry, poverty stricken, homeless and untreated Americans that at any time in our history. To which I respond- FUCK both parties!
They're traitors to the American people- and they're lining their fucking pockets with millions of dollars to Judas kiss all of us. These so called elected leaders couldn't care less what suffering, misery or death they and their fucked up laws and regulations cause. Get it through your fucking numb useless mind that you are less than shit to them! We're being sacrificed and slaughtered for the profit of of a handful of billionaires. To which I respond- FUCK the god damned billionaires!
They're soulless heartless pieces of human shit who deserve to be charged, hunted down, dragged into the streets naked, forced to watch as their precious treasures and homes are piled up and burned, then marched directly to trial to face whatever suffering the people choose to impose on them.
[...]How fucked up- how far from reality have we fallen when we are begging the government to allow the hungry and homeless the "right" to eat garbage? Are any of you sane? Where the fuck are you? This shit is serious. This shit is deadly. This shit is insane. "
I've literally spent years trying to explain, educate, cajole, and motivate my fellow Americans to come to their senses. The horrid, naked truth is that our leaders are sociopaths, mad men, unleashing unspeakable suffering and brutality on us and the rest of the world.
We are engaged in illegal pre-emptive wars. We have become a rogue nation, and our government is a threat not only to the rest of the world but to us, it's citizens.
There is an open disregard for the plight of the hungry, the poor, the sick, the homeless and the elderly. Violence has become so much a fabric of our lives that we no longer even flinch as the hungry starve, the homeless die of exposure, the poor are left to choose between silent suffering or theft just to survive, the sick are allowed to die untreated and the elderly are quietly and efficiently disappeared.
And my people, my fellow Americans not only accept all of this, they embrace it! They applaud it, and rationalize it, and deny it, and ignore it! I pin myself to the ground here and now! If you support the sociopaths then you are insane. You cannot, and I will not allow you to, shrug this off, to excuse yourself, to pass on responsibility, to justify the total lack of morality any longer.
I'm tired of feeling like I should wash my mind every time I talk to you! You're sick, and it's catching and I want no part of your illness!
I hope to fucking god I offend every god damned one of you! You smug Republicans, you blind Democrats, all of you! You are every bit as sick, every bit as evil, as the government you continue to support. I don't have to get along with you. I don't have to accept insanity just to be polite. It's time to stop getting along."
