welcome to america.
i'm genuinely shocked at all the shock-edness lately.
keep your ear to the ground for more wtfuckery coming soon.
but bear in mind:
there's not a damn thing you can do about it.
because you, yes you, taxpayer.
you, voter.
citizen, you have allowed this to happen.
yes, i mean you.
you, who have consistently traded your freedoms away for comfort, a sense of security, and fleeting tastes of prosperity.
you, who stand idly by as your elected representatives chip away at the idea of a true republic, a true democracy, and the true american way.
you, kind citizen, have allowed all of this to happen by being fooled into believing -- truly believing -- that all of the problems bringing our country to its knees can be resolved by holding others accountable for the mess we're in.
manipulative, greedy, power-hungry men and women that lead our nation aren't the problem.
the commoditization of human life in pursuit of monetary growth isn't the problem.
big business and corporate-funded politics aren't the problem.
no.
you are the problem.
so. you know what?
fuck you.
fuck you, for being so goddamn apathetic to your fellow man. fuck you for being so blind to history repeating itself over, and over again. fuck you for being stupid enough to be lulled into sleep every four years by the political theater. fuck you for being too weak to stand up as an individual and take responsibility for what has happened to us.
and most of all, fuck you for being conditioned into believing that you're accomplishing something by bitching about our country's problems. fuck you for thinking that you're making a difference by spreading the word about the evils of our government. fuck you for letting the corruption continue for so long that short of revolution there is no changing course from where we are heading as a nation. fuck you. you're the reason my vote doesn't matter anymore.
fuck you all.
and fuck me too.
