AFAIAC Activism is a mental illness and Activists have major issues,
some sort of denial and projection and all sorts of twisted ways to deal with problems that are deep within themselves:
a repressed anger aimed outward instead of inward
they are like the modern Don Quixotes fighting hot air in battle they cannot win
( despite sometimes short victories that will be overrun soon enough)
The good old "Fix your own house / Clean your Own Room
before you go and fix the world or what YOU THINK is wrong with it
Every time I see one I am always reminded of the words of Ani DiFranco an ageing activist herself
Your Next Bold Move
Song by
Ani DiFranco
coming of age during the plague
of reagan and bush
watching capitalism gun down democracy
it had this funny effect on me
I guess
I am cancer
I am HIV
and I am down at the blue jesus
blue cross hospital
just lookin' up from my pillow
feeling blessed
and the mighty multinationals
have monopolized the oxygen
so it's as easy as breathing
for us all to participate
yes they're buying and selling
off shares of air
and you know it's all around you
but it's hard to point and say "there"
so you just sit on your hands
and quietly contemplate
your next bold move
the next thing you're gonna have to prove
to yourself
what a waste of thumbs that are opposable
to make machines that are disposable
and sell them to seagulls flying in circles
around one big right wing
yes, the left wing was broken long ago
by the slingshot of cointelpro
and now it's so hard to have faith in
anything
especially your next bold move
or the next thing you're gonna need to prove
to yourself
you want to track each trickle
back to its source
and then scream up the faucet
'til your face is hoarse
cuz you're surrounded by a world's worth
of things you just can't excuse
but you've got the hard cough of a chain smoker
and you're at the arctic circle playing strip poker
and it's getting colder and colder
everytime you lose
so go ahead
make your next bold move
tell us
what's the next thing you're gonna have to prove
to yourself
THE OLDER I GET NOW,
THE LESS I HAVE TO PROVE TO MYSELF
OR TO ANYONE ELSE.
I mean I just saw a 7 year old called a conservationist activist.
A bit like that Greta girl.
Talk about devious malevolent parenting now
The world praises this
and I call it Child Abuse
There is absolutely no way ever
that that left wing will ever be fixed or healed>
It is FUBAR now and forever
and the powers that be will ensure it remains so no matter how much mouthing off one does
plus the powers that be are mostly invisible to all these Don Quixotes on their high horses
So enjoy your life eat and drink and be merry for tomorrow ye shall die just like the rest of us: billions and billions
And stop playing strip poker on the Artic Circle now :|
