Unbridled Greed is a mental illness

Unbridled greed is a mental illness.  Healthy human brings don't "need" everything.




The illness with most of the world's wealthy is that if anyone else has anything at all, then it means there is something the rich person does not have.

You're thinking "That's silly! There's lots to go around!"

Which is true, but you've missed the point of the mental illness. It is impossible to "have everything," but by denying others of anything, the illusion becomes "They have nothing, therefore I must already have everything!"

Except it doesn't work like that, and even if the rich person had all the material goods, there are things left over - water, air, animals, people.

Look at Trump and his cronies - look at the GOP leadership - they want to take things away from people and give them to the rich (especially the ultra-mentally-ill-ultra-rich).

Unbridled greed cannot be sated. It is impossible. But, those with the disease of greed will not let things like hurting people stop them from trying to possess everything.

It's Class Warfare - but they overplayed their hand

You don't have to agree with anything I believe.  I will still fight for your right to disagree with me.



I don't have to agree with anything you believe.  I may even disagree with you very aggressively, although I usually wait until you start the insults first. I prefer to argue about the points and the thoughts, and leave the mind-reading to the mystics and mutants.


But you do need to understand that our mutual right to disagree with each other is under assault.  Yes, both of us are under attack.  My rights and your rights. And you and I are being attacked by the same people.


They have lots of names: Oligarchs, Billionaires, Neo-Cons, Fascists, Assholes.



They want you and me to blame each other. They want you and me to fight with each other.



If you and me are fighting with each other, then we're not paying attention to what the Assholes are doing.



They'll try to convince you that taking away your rights is a good thing. Oh, they'll say it's "law and order," and that they are "protecting you."  Funny thing, when you stop listening to the bullshit and think about what they're really selling, and realize how much they're stealing from you.



Stay focused people. We're on the same side - fighting to protect our fundamental rights from those who want to take them away.



It's Class Warfare, Bitches, only this time the villains don't realIze they have over-played their hand, and that we're going to fuck them up.

Each day is a choice

I wake up each morning and have a choice: 
today I will let the annoying people get under my skin, 
or I will laugh at them. 

Some days I laugh so much, my stomach aches.

Try to think before you repost

Thats nice. And the only reason to shout "March organizer!" is in an attempts to discredit 3 million Americans who marched in opposition to President Trump's Sharia-law like policies.

Yes, yes. Let's not forget the real purpose of the meme, even as we all congratulate ourselves for routing out this terrible woman.


Ain't Got Time To Bleed - Class Warfare Doesn't Sleep

I think he covered just about everything and wrapped it up with that evocative tagline. Nice.


Oh, we mock celebrities, but we also worship them (cough Trump cough).  And let's face it, sometimes it takes the eye-grabbing mechanism of a celebrity to get people to stand still for 30 seconds and pay attention. Once attention is grabbed, then maybe the message can be delivered. Gov Ventura is actually quite articulate and had some decent policies during his tenure.

He has a good message here. The big thing he does is appeal to everyone. His message isn't "conservative" nor "liberal" - his message is "We The People Are Fed Up!"

It's a good message. Slap people who split hairs about it, instead of paying attention to the substance (e.g. food genomes are patented, not copyrighted [yet, anyway]).

Boycott Trump business - make them come unglued

We need a massive boycott of every business venture Trump or his people touch in any way. Starve them into panicking, and crank their batshit crazy up a few notches. Make them come really unglued.

And I don't just mean Trump properties - I mean find his suppliers and boycott them. Find out who made the hats and tell them you are boycotting them to protest them helping Trump. Find out who else they make hats for, and tell those companies, they buy from a company supplying Trump, therefore you don't want their goods either.



If no one wants to buy from Trump's suppliers, no one will sell to Trump. If no one will sell to Trump, even his bobble head worshipers cannot buy from him.

And not just Trump, but the Cabinet - Tillerson or De Vos and all those swampland alligator billionaire cronies installed specifically to hurt America.




Starve their business partners and they panic. They think money is important. They worship money. They suffer an insanity of greed and the ego that comes from syncophants fawning over them.

Cut off their connections, and they panic. Make them panic - make them feel Trump is toxic - and they pull the plug on him.

Starve the greedy by cutting off their egos, and change the world.



Modern "conservatives" kind of suck

Perhaps I'm naive, but I tend to think of real conservatives as people who care about family, children, personal and financial responsibility, taking care of the less fortunate, being nice to strangers and thinking everyone deserves a chance to life a rich and fulfilling life, and sometimes that means lending a hand to create secure footing to help people grow and be whom they can be. You know, shit Jesus mumbled about, like taking care of each other, feeding the poor, helping the foreigner, and all that hippie shit he's famous for.



The modern GOP hold none of the values I just mentioned. Nada. Zip. Zilch. The modern GOP are all greedy elitist opportunists. The vast majority have college degrees and many of them have graduate or doctoral degrees. The vast majority of them were born into wealth and privilege and sought the feed trough of public office to force others to their whims, or even to openly exploit the perks and graft available.


"Don't screw it up," indeed. The modern GOP are about to fuck everyone - starting with anyone NOT heterosexual and white, and moving on to religion, and finally - but not least - stripping women's rights like the Taliban. The modern GOP is going to use every excuse to crush the poor, create a new two-tiered society of the privileged and the trampled, and only fools don't see that.
