‘Maddening’ seems like a good fit. And the joker (using the latest movie as base) also fits well the open eyes in a dark world. How else to cope if not with dark humor. I see it the same way and my humor has always been very dark. And with each decade i become more “incompatible” with social groups and need to restrain my cynicism and misanthropy. But how could one not become that when running around with open eyes, unclouded and unaffected by propaganda?
Fuck, I’m sorry to hear that dude. I always cuss at our local injustices here towards handicapped and whatever else, but then I hear/read something from you guys and it all seems relatively grear again. Like our saying “complaining on a high Niveau”. We are far from perfect (and even drift in the wrong direction), but, in principle, we have a social/medical net. Homeless people, in theory, get their welfare, everyone does who can’t work. We were even close to the much better solution “universal income”.
Homelessness being illegal is one of the most dystopian things there could be. But probably helps greatly in getting cheap labour punishing bad people for their crimes.
Crossing fingers your realism pessimism won’t be fulfilled and trump suddenly dies of penile rotting cancer and untreatable adult testicular torsion. But I could totally imagine camps. You could even name them bad-people-killing-facility and Murica, nay the whole world wouldn’t even flinch. It would just be noticed and maybe harshly judged by some random, yet uninfluential, intellectuals. Like with what the Jews currently do.
Especially weird if you grew up here, where generational guilt is still taught at school.
Oh no, I totally botched that translation 😁 I meant this more in the sense of “I cried because I had no shoes until I saw a man who had no feet”. Like when 99% of the country is great but you’re complaining about the 1% that isn’t.
That hate for the poor is here too, maybe just not THAT exaggerated as to throw them in prisons for free labour. They are the best scape-goat for everything that is bad. Our people living on welfare are also always the source of everything that destroys our future. And despise for them is a very common thing amongst the regular joes and Janes. This was actually one of the main points why I stopped working. This workplace - ethics here are unbearable. Mixed with the sheer stupidity or ignorance. No Jacqueline, it’s not the fault of welfare that “those beggars make nearly the same like me without lifting a finger!”. It’s your boss that sacks 99,9999% of all profits for him while paying you jack-shit.
That’s also a very deeply imprinted, I dare to say indoctrinated, life-motto here: lick the asses above you, kick the asses below you. I always found this to be deeply wrong and incredibly disgusting.
As to the jew-topic: I have a very deep disdain for religion/cults. As they’re the epitome of evil to me and most often, if not the source, the the justification for tremendous violence, injustice, sexism, racism and whatever else *isms on this rotten planet. So, while I don’t like what the Israelis do, I don’t mind at the same time. It’s child-abusers killing other child-abusers. And mysognists for free on top. Couldn’t cheer for one side. The hipocrisy of it is what drives me nuts. I grew up learning how bad we are for what we did one-two generations before. And now they do the same and still play the victim- or antisemitism a card.
To be clear: I dont care for people’s beliefs. The organized crime, errrr church it is what I despise. This fucking tribalism.
