This is one of those subjects that needs to be addressed repeatedly but it seems to be always addressed in the most backassed way that it just gets Tubularsock angered enough to go out and shoot someone!
Ahhhh, maybe Tubularsock could come up with a little better way to frame these feelings.
Tubularsock becomes so angered that he feels like slitting a child’s throat!
Ahhhh, nah. Not much better for sure.
OK, OK …….. take a ball-peen hammer and “Pelosiedly” it into the head of …….. ahhh Tubularsock means a chainsaw, NO! A long rusty butcher knife!
Well, another trip to Tubularsock’s therapist for anger management. Tubularsock has
worn-out three to date.
There is always so much angst, sorrow, sadness whenever another gun violent episode takes place. And yet they have been so common that if you pay close attention you might just go over the edge.
As you know, it is just too difficult to keep up.
Tubularsock usually just skips knowing the details as they are splashed all over the media because the subject is so depressing.
Case in point.
Tubularsock had heard in passing that the bank shooting in Louisville had to do with a bank employee. It seemed to Tubularsock that if Tubularsock had to work in a bank, shooting your way out of employment just might be the way to go.
So naively Tubularsock typed into DuckDuckGo ……… “Bank shooting”
And this is what appeared:
Seems it is way more prevalent than Tubularsock ever guessed. But why?
Well JUST MAYBE we live in a bat shit crazy society that you are told to FIT INTO it if you want to BECOME someone!
But you are ALREADY SOMEONE … You are you. That should be good enough, PERIOD.
But oh no …….. you have to be someone that the society finds acceptable otherwise you’re a bum or no account and a drag on society.
You have to find a job EVEN IF YOU HATE IT to be “respectable” and “responsible”.
And what happens when you have a job you hate? Usually you get sick. Some chronic illness rather than just saying NO. Being “sick” is acceptable being a bum is not!
Some people fake it and “try” to fit in a job they hate and end up shooting up the place. Why?
WHY NOT! “I hate my job, I hate myself and I hate you”!
But just where does this idea come from that it is OK to kill other people?
Many blame violent films. The ratio is about 10 to 1 in favor of blowing something up in ever film produced.
Many blame gang violence and police violence both are just a flip of a coin in terms of who is responsible. Basically they are one and the same.
And CRIME is a job description after all.
But the greatest cause of all this violence is the amount of propaganda of “HATING OTHER”. Our culture has constantly enhanced the “HATING OTHER” concept. We as a country was founded on it!
And the cost has driven us as a culture to the direction of acceptance of direct violence toward “OTHER”. And the definition of “OTHER” is “whoever the power structure deems to be our enemy-du-jour at any given moment.
THEN WE ARE TRAINED TO KILL THEM AND HATE THEM AND BE ABSOLVED OF ALL GUILT BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS SAY IT IS FINE TO DO IT, EVEN PATRIOTIC TO DO SO.
Now stop and think about just how prevalent this happens to be. IT DRIVES OUR DESIRE TO CONTROL THE WORLD.
And so we as a country will slaughter hundreds of thousands of people under the banner of saving them. Wrap your head around THAT concept.
And this insanity is rationalized under the premise of MIGHT BEING RIGHT!
So just how can our country go around the world starting conflicts and directing death and destruction on PEOPLE and then ask:
“WHERE DOES VIOLENCE COME FROM THAT PERMEATES OUR OWN SOCIETY?”
No, not too many guns and access to them. Remember—-“Guns don’t kill people, PEOPLE kill people!”
If there weren’t any guns there would be knives, clubs, saws, bombs or your neighbor talking you to death!
So just maybe our tendency to kill others comes from our very own government. From our very own culture. OUR TRAINED MENTAL ACCEPTANCE OF KILLING as an acceptable means of settling issues.
We are a killing culture and our country was founded on it. We as a people murdered our way across the continent and stole other peoples lands and then justified murder and theft under the moral flag of Manifest Destiny. GOD DIRECTED US!
Religion has ALWAYS been a major killer of “OTHER” and then used to tidy up the destruction with moral platitudes and positioning.
The created “mind-set” has been fortified over hundreds of years. To turn it around and stop this killing spree we’ve been on from our founding will take more time than we have.
UNLESS WE KILL EVERYBODY. AND THAT PROCESS IS WELL ON ITS WAY!
Yet, on the other hand, what else do we have to do? This path we’ve been living our lives from has never really worked well. To see others as the same as ourselves goes a long way to bring a new paradigm of thinking that could change the world.
Seems we have nothing to lose following this new direction.
And if YOU don’t change Tubularsock will blow your fucking head off!
Ahhh, just when is Tubularsock’s new anger management appointment again?
