Apes with egos
Escaping from the plains
Wearing their tuxedos.
Apes with big brains
Super-inflated egos.
They are not animals;
They have a soul!
They enjoy carnivals
And are in control!
Escaping from the plains
Wearing their tuxedos.
Apes with big brains
Super-inflated egos.
They can feel pain.
They can think and feel.
Snort cocaine.
Buy their next meal.
Escaping from the plains
Wearing their tuxedos.
Apes with big brains
Super-inflated egos.
Animals are lesser
Use them as you will.
Kill them for pleasure.
Until you’ve had your fill.
Escaping from the plains
Wearing their tuxedos.
Apes with big brains
Super-inflated egos.
Opher – 3.10.2021
It always astounds me when I find someone who really believes that we are not just animals. Somehow in their heads they separate us from the rest of life. There are plants, animals and us!
They have been told we have a ‘soul’ that makes us special.
They have been told that we are god created.
They have been told that we are eternal.
They have been told that the animals and plants were put here for us to use.
They are fools.
There is little special about us.
We are apes with big brains and slightly more intelligence. That doesn’t make us any more special than any other creature.
If they knew animals better they would know that they are capable of feelings, can think and experience terror.
If people weren’t so stupidly arrogant maybe they would not gaffe and hack at poor creatures. They’d understand the terror and agony they were causing.
If only we were really intelligent.
If only we weren’t so gullible and stupid.
All over the world people are looking at the performance of these extreme populist clowns and laughing.
We have a leader who resembles Worzel Gummidge but is not as bright.
We have a government who promises the earth but only delivers for Tory donors.
We have to have the army restocking supermarkets and petrol stations.
We have one of the worst records in the world for covid deaths.
We have the poor and public servants being robbed and the wealthy receiving multimillion pound handouts.
This came through from John Peachey. It seemed to sum up my feelings. Inequality has gone nuts! Arrogance rules!!
‘What pisses me off is the people who do the shitty nasty messy jobs like wiping bottoms in hospitals get paid peanuts while the privileged, cushy, sit-around-chatting-all-day drinking champagne types store up millions in their offshore accounts and contribute nothing to the economy. They would argue that they provide the work for the peasants but it is long overdue that a balance was restored. ‘Restored’? It’s always been this way. We’re long overdue a revolution!’
So as Johnson splashes out £100,000 on art for his flat (partly paid for by us), , splashed out £200,000 on a flat make-over (£30,000 from us and the rest from Tory donors? – £840-a-roll wallpaper, a £9,800 Baby Bear sofa, a £3,000 Lily Drum table), goes on lavish exotic holidays (all paid for by Tory donors – who, of course, do not want anything in return), offers up secret meetings with businessmen for £250,000 donation) and lives the life of Reilly with lavish food, wine and champagne, while masquerading as a ‘man of the people’, a jolly good laugh, he, and his Tory colleagues, are taking £20 a week off the poorest members of society, throwing them into extreme poverty and mental anguish.
In short – they don’t care!
They lack empathy.
These people are viewed not as people but as trash, losers, life’s jetsam and flotsam. A drain on society.
The truth is that Tories despise the poor and the public servants. Anybody who is not looking to make huge money (at any price) is a loser. They view public servants as parasites. Caring is a weakness.
For these Tories life is all about making their millions at any cost. As we see with Cameron, Osborne and their multimillion pound incomes (We’re all in it together – what a laugh). We see it with the corrupt and sleazy deals. We see it with the burner phones being dumped. We see it with the desire to control and suppress. We see it with the tax cuts for the rich and the way that tax loopholes are left untouched. We see it with the pay freezes and pay cuts for Nurses and Teachers. We see it with the immoral profiteering over Brexit and Covid.
They see nothing wrong in making huge sums of money out of other peoples’ misery. Cold, calculated and uncaring.
The people who die, whose lives are wrecked, are collateral damage in life’s game. If they had anything about them they’d be making millions and screwing everyone else. That’s life – winners and losers.
So where does this come from? This lack of empathy? This ruthlessness? This greed?
Simply – are they are severely damaged by a lack of love? Emotionally stunted? Taught that emotions and people do not count? That life is a game and they are superior – and superiority means winning at all costs (even if that hurts others or causes immense damage)?
How many Tories have made millions out of Covid and Brexit? The list is long!
They are brought up in wealthy families where parents are distant and ‘Nanny’ provides the care. They lack the hugs and kisses necessary to provide a healthy emotional life.
They are sent off to private schools where loveless austerity rules. They are taught to be superior and arrogant. They are taught how to fool and manipulate. They are taught all the skills to achieve. They are taught all the etiquette and rules, the social mores and codes that set them apart, the attitudes of the ‘successful’ rulers, but none of the emotions or empathy.
If you care; if you think about others and the effect of your actions, you will lose. Life is about winning.
They are taught to not care and that they are superior and deserve it; that the plebs are inferior and deserve all that’s coming. That’s life. It’s brutal.
Mummy and Daddy turn up in their posh cars and shake hands.
They become sociopathic, even psychopathic, because those are the qualities that are rewarded.
So Johnson and Cameron see nothing wrong in the excesses of their lifestyles and the extravagance. They see nothing wrong in the lies, the sleaze, corruption or immorality. It is what they have been taught. They deserve it. They are winners.
They see nothing wrong in the pay cuts, the child poverty, the austerity and hardship they create. They deserve it. They are losers.
These people are emotionally crippled. Their lack of empathy and caring has been deliberately bred into them.
That’s the cruel reality of elitism.
This is a very interesting. It is quite unbelievable that working class people really do believe that this snobby overprivileged self-server has their interests at heart. Unbelievable.
The Union Jack and flag waving what is this all about?
I think it stinks!
I’ve seen the fascists strutting the streets with the Union Jack as their symbol. I’ve seen Tory profiteers wrapping themselves in the flag. I’ve seen flag waving military parades that lead to genocide and torture. I’ve seen the USA use its flag to denote arrogance and superiority.
I despise nationalism.
It is divisive and used by scoundrels to justify their crimes and throw a smokescreen over their actions.
I’ve just seen an arrogant Tory MP telling me that if I don’t like his brand of flag-waving nationalism I should find another country.
I don’t like his brand of fascism at all but I would be prepared to fight (metaphorically) to keep this country free of this xenophobic, racist bigotry.
The Union Jack is not so much a symbol of a fine unified country as one of oppression. You can stuff it. I have no interest in isolating myself. I’m part of a world community of free thinkers, free people – not some bunch of fascist nationalists.
A Member of the Elite
As a member of the elite
I have to play the game.
I have to wear the uniform
Speak the right words
And never feel the shame.
My life’s a façade
Hiding what’s underneath
A charade
A shield of wealth and power
That is our one belief.
Haughty manner
Springing from superiority.
Looking down
At minions
The spawn of the majority.
I am of the elite.
Born into privilege.
Master of the multitudes
From every dirty village.
Of life’s finer things
I always have a surfeit,
It is just what we deserve
Because I know we’re worth it!
Opher – 23.1.2021
I detest that advert that asserts that we are worth it.
There are a whole privileged class who have every opportunity, a life of ease, an easy path, networking, the old boy network and wealth.
They can buy what they like.
They use their privilege to enable their sons and daughters to prosper while disdainfully keeping the hoi-polloi in their place.
Their wealth is incalculable.
They exploit, control and are happy to see poverty and destitution.
The poor are where they deserve to be.
The wealthy are assured of their own superiority and worth.
