A few days ago, me and a coworker got into a "conversation". We were both born and raised "country" but ended up in the city for work related reasons. We both got front row seats to the "mostly peaceful protests", and had to endure in silence the vitriol of the people around us. Two days ago I commented to him that I was planning to move out. I hated this place, and more importantly I hated the people who lived here. A rather dark assessment on my end, and rather then disagree my coworker agreed. He also hated this city, hated its people and also planned to leave.
America, we have a problem. A very BIG problem. I can handwave away my own dislike of the people around me, the current trajectory of our culture, and even the wildly different interpretations of the "mostly peaceful protests". While the media and the political establishment, including out current Vice President heralded positive and peaceful protests for change..., I saw "violent riots and state sanctioned murder". But that's just my opinion. An opinion also held by my coworker. But also just his. The very last straw for me, something I ranted on yesterday in chat was a 3 by 4 foot plexiglass "cough shield" suspended from the ceiling in front of my work desk, and everyone elses' work desk. So that when we interact with clients we can do so "safely". And the stupid things were suspended a foot away from the keyboard meaning in order to use my computer the damn thing has to smash against my face. Repeatedly. Over and Over again. 2020 saw "peaceful protestors" rampage through my neighborhood destroying property. It saw me forced to put masks on my face, witness businesses and cultural institutions I loved get eviscerated while big corporations like Amazon were allowed to pick up the slack. I now see even more Amazon vehicles then I do United States Post Office vehicles. Every time that plexi glass shield is smashing into my face (every day since Wednesday, March 3rd 2021 for people reading this in the future) I see the proverbial boot of the inner party stepping on the face of man. Over and Over again. It was what ultimately pushed me over the edge and led me to confide in private that I no longer just disagreed with the people of this city. I HATED them. And I found out my coworker hated them too.
And hatred is a powerful emotion. Not one bounded by math, societal constraints, shame or any other of the myriad social controls the powers that be in America have attempted to use to brow beat the public into submission. The reason "Cancel Culture" has been successful so far is because the vast majority of Americans, myself included up until March 3rd 2021, did not hate their fellow countrymen. They still held common fidelity with them, even though they disagreed fundamentally with their politics. After all, we are still Americans. Right? Wrong. After about the 5th time that plexi glass shield smashed into my face, on March 4th, I had reached an unfortunate conclusion. We aren't still Americans anymore. I never really agreed with the mask mandates, the shut downs, the riots, the shenanigans with the election. But these were all things I could ultimately handwave. It took the physical smacking of plexiglass onto my face to really rub it in.
Our political establishment has surrendered the hopes and dreams of hard working American Entrepreneurs to uncaring multi national corporations with no bonds of fidelity to our American Community.
They have established a legal and political system that exists to protect this multi national economic order and murder in the cradle any threat to it. Like Parlor v. Twitter.
They are using emotional blackmail, fear, and othering to drive a hard wedge between the various political factions in America in a naked grasping effort for power. And it had worked all too well. They have split the coasts and the cities irrevocably from the fly over states and rural counties. Severing the bonds of fidelity without a care or pause of reflection.
They have engaged in wholesale, racial attacks on a significant racial component of the nation, one that is a majority over all but an increasing minority in their coastal and urban power bases. Not out of any desire for social justice, but for the simple naked political calculation that if they can just get their pet minorities to the fear the evil race, they will be their peons for life.
They are seeking to disarm their political rivals, in violation of their constitutional rights, so that they may be better dressed for the submission, or slaughter. Whichever comes first.
They have surrendered our military industries, corporations, and even our very culture, to the perfidious Chinese communists, for no other reason then to aquire more wealth and power for themselves, at the expense of the American people, our legacy, and our values.
They allow the same corporations that thank the guards of concentration camps that exist to ethnically cleanse religions and racial minorities in Xinjiang to dictate what Free Americans can think, say and see.
They have expended the blood and treasure of our people in endless foreign conflicts that serve no benefit other then to enrich these same multi national corporations that support genocide when convenient to their profits, and vile oppression against the free people of America.
Do I want a war? No. I had a front row seat to a civil war in Iraq and let me tell you this is the last thing any of us should want. But its coming. I am just one person out of many. I just want a peaceful and free future for my children. But if given a choice between peaceful OR free, my choice will be for Free. And the sad truth is the reason I have begun the hate the people of the city is because I have concluded they have happily accepted the chains of slavery and now they want to put them on me. And my people. The people of the fields, the mountains, and the America the bankers in New York and San Francisco "fly over".
