American’s like to project. Too many now blame others for their own failings. Taxes too high? It’s the “illegal’s” fault. Lost your job? It’s those God forsaken minorities. My own father was a projector for a long time. Every problem in his world came down to Muslims, Jews and Blacks. He wasn’t afraid to let us know it. He’s toned down and I don’t know if this is because of social acceptance diminishing for blatant racial rants or if his position has really changed. Regardless, his past behavior is a great example of how unaccountable so many American’s have become for their own failures.<\/p>\n
Never mind he lost a job when I was thirteen and NEVER really went back to work until recently. We lived off my moms income as a nurse. He dabbled in real estate, an endeavor that might have lost more money than it ever made. To ask him, the lack of opportunity and pay he faced came down to Muslims and his claim they “can’t be trusted”. I trust every Muslim I’ve ever met. Of course, unlike the conservative fear mongering implies, they are not members of ISIS here to perform covert terrorist operations on the US. They are here to do things like raise families and source cheap textiles from overseas, which may be the most threatening thing they do to America.<\/p>\n
I reflect on the 80’s and 90’s. Yep we wore disturbing clothes, Pana D’or Parachute Pants happened to hold a level of awesome unmatched by any 2000 era article of clothing, but we were a nation of high physical standards, “No Fat Chicks” and embraced fitness. Flash forward 2015:<\/strong> American’s justify “Plus Size” as the new normal. Apparently so many men have gotten fat they can’t imagine “No Fat Chicks”. But that doesn’t mean we’ve avoided double standards. Not by a damn mile. American’s make sure it’s understood that while we actually produce less we will tout “hard work” as the reason for success. Never mind that what we are “producing” is phantom bullshit thanks to the “investment” or “ownership” economy. All those “hard workers” watching money compile on computer screens. They must be too sore to get out of bed the next morning.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, as usual the people actually doing work continue to lose money and spending power. We’ve given up on higher standards. We don’t want to offend. Great. Now we are just a bunch of lushes making sure laws can be passed to keep the laziest the wealthiest… “Work Smarter, not harder”? WHAT THE FUCK EVER. How about produce an actual damn result besides money in your personal bank account. We must stop measuring accomplishment by monetary gain because it’s now a piss poor indicator of what a person’s actually accomplished.\u00a0 Some of the dumbest, laziest people in society are the wealthiest.<\/p>\n I will judge a person by the contents that make up their character, not giving one turd about anyone’s concern that I do it.\u00a0 So if you’re a fat, lazy, non productive ass wipe just trying to make it through your day to your next beer and eventual paycheck don’t expect to be treated by me as anymore than that. In particular I think of fat hillbillies. American’s embrace these losers because they are “Good ‘ol boys” representative of “America values”. So “American Values” are now…<\/p>\n Hillbillies aren’t cool.\u00a0 Thugs aren’t cool.\u00a0 Fat chicks aren’t cool.\u00a0 The decision to embrace them because you are one isn’t cool.\u00a0 It’s embarrassing for a country to denounce health, the environment and intellectualism as pretentious and arrogant while embracing bad lifestyle decisions.\u00a0 That’s where we are.\u00a0 Simpler, easier, lazier and dumber… “Don’t tread on me”!\u00a0 Yep, it’s your right to be a fat, uneducated hick or wannabe gangsta.\u00a0 Expect to be treated like one.\u00a0 All in the name of “simple folk”.\u00a0 Ya, you’re fucking simple alright.\u00a0 Too simple to understand or even try to comprehend the problem: Fat, lazy people in denial.\u00a0 Now, get mad and blame Obama, minorities, gays, Benghazi, gland problems or whatever fuels your denial.\u00a0 But for the sake of Buddha don’t take any personal accountability for your own failures.\u00a0 Not your fault right?\u00a0 “Land of the free” and therefore home of the under paid, heavily armed, uneducated, lazy and fat people.\u00a0 These are the freedoms you choose to embrace over the last 20 years?\u00a0 And yet we argue over what went wrong.\u00a0 Apathy rules!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" American’s like to project.
