Unimpressive America

Posted by VicariousE - July 3rd, 2019


I was barely old enough to appreciate this nation's bicentennial, but I remember how America was, and I wouldn't say it has improved. Once you put technology and intellectual shit aside, we are far worse off now. The corporations and foreign interests are organized, the people who were born and raised in the US, are not. The two party system is a catastrophic failure and encumbrance on our way of life, and should be disbanded, new parties should be formed.


Once a few years ago, I had the thought of putting all my grievances down (along with terms of disbanding the 2 party system), publishing it to a gofundme or kickstarter page, with the hope I could pay to have it listed in the wall street journal as a full page ad. I'm sure those fucks would refuse, so it would go the second most expensive print ad available... why? Those fucks need to realize the American public is not an unlimited resource from which they can draw on.


Oh well, fuck it, who cares enough to foment proper and logical change eh?

nice to see you moderately active again

Adapting to this website's new format, I guess. Still feels like using the scissors w/ the rubber on the finger holes, meant to wean me away from using my left hand.... but they stopped that practice about a decade after they stopped us using anything sharp again lol

I perceive you as this old school kind of guy who would probably have something interesting to say about life in your country in a wide time frame, because you were actually there and are capable of talking straight.

I think the best you can do is through just talking to people, like coleagues or strangers met on the bus stop, because you're a real person and you can get to real people - the current media world is prosthetic, it has it's own language and prays on short attention span. Ortega y Gasset wrote very accurately about the problems which our civilization spawns, but noone even knows him. Kaczyński killed people to draw attention to his manifesto and the effect is that everyone knows Kaczyński, but noone knows his manifesto. Everything in nature seeks the lowest energy state and lowest resistance possible - by taking on the whole media syndicate of a 300 mln country alone you're probably just going to burn out.

If you can play cool, you can always be that random old guy who tells something to a kid, and it resonates in that kid for next 20 years or so. I know I learned much through such encounters.

Or I can go on the offensive, use my words as a weapon against the 'establishment'... and promptly get taken out by them; enough evidence of US gov't internal intervention exists, but folks seems to care less about that than the tyranny of the 2 party system. Or am I wrong?

I do thank you for your assessment Makakaov. It does explain why Western civilization's educational systems are so highly regulated against independent thought, leadership and the questioning of authority (that and a certain German philosopher's guide to a compliant citizenry, eager and able to follow orders, run the machines, clock in on time, and STFU)

BTW, I was always that old random guy, teachers in K-12 usually treated me as an adult and kids, well, called me an old man

I'm going to install you as Imperial Viceroy of the Province of North America someday.

Nah fuck this planet, I'm outty

How about a vacation home at Yuggoth?

Nah, it'd remind me of the bottom levels of Terraria, only deathly cold instead of deathly hot. Bob Ross' house available?
