Ukraine is a reminder of the stupidity of mankind. Our psychotic leaders keep taking us down this destructive path.
Have we learnt nothing????
I remind everyone – the major reason behind the creation of the EU was to bind countries together in trade and prevent us descending into this madness again!
We have such short memories!
The Days of Insanity
The clown parades in his hi-vis suit
To feed his own vanity.
Blithering and blathering, he lies,
Drowning in his own inanity.
He raises the taxes to batter the poor
With no shred of humanity.
His charisma hides the sleaze and corruption
On this path to catastrophe.
He quotes Latin and silly soundbites
To conceal his banality.
Contracts for the wealthy, cuts for the rest
Delivered with brutality.
They still stupidly fawn as deaths they mourn
And he utters his profanity.
We helplessly watch the farce unfurl
For these are the days of insanity.
Surely, these are the days of insanity!
Opher – 18.2.2022
I watch all this total farce unfold in front of my eyes and find it hard to believe.
In America they elect a billionaire crook who they think will represent poor people!! I mean????
In the UK we elect a millionaire conman??
Both adopt extreme right-wing policies. We have fear, division, hate, lies, racism and violence.
We have senators sending Christmas cards featuring their gun-toting families! We have mass shootings!
We have the police killing black people because they are black and we have politicians declaring that Woke culture is destroying civilisation.
We have lying, corrupt politicians being caught out and forgiven, not even a slap on the wrist.
We are close to a war in Europe.
We have global warming, mass immigration and a handful of people owning half the planet.
Superyachts parked next to starving people.
People who would rather believe superstition and conspiracy to scientific fact.
People who believe proven liars.
People with military rifles.
These really are the days of the collapse of reason – days of insanity!!
Mankind has gone completely mad!!
I can’t stand Cummings but…………..
As he said: getting rid of the inept liar is – “sort of like fixing the drains”.
Dominic Cummings has said it is his “duty to get rid” of Boris Johnson as prime minister, describing it as “sort of like fixing the drains”.
Cummings revealed one of the most damaging No 10 lockdown gatherings, where Reynolds had emailed staff inviting them to drinks in the garden and to “bring your own booze”. Cummings has said Johnson was warned about the gathering, which the prime minister has admitted to attending but claims to have thought it was a work event.
The former adviser told New York magazine Johnson was driven entirely by what would be in the papers the next day. “In January 2020 I was sitting in No 10 with Boris and the complete fuckwit is just babbling on about: ‘Will Big Ben bong for Brexit on 31 January?’” he said.
Asked if it was fair that he was mounting a campaign to remove his former boss, Cummings said: “What’s fairness got to do with anything? It’s politics. All this is not fair. The fact that someone wins an election doesn’t mean that they should just stay there for years, right? If you’ve got a duffer, if you think someone can’t do the job, or is unfit for the job.
“You know, as he said to me: ‘I’m the fucking king around here and I’m going to do what I want.’ That’s not OK. He’s not the king. He can’t do what he wants. Once you realise someone is operating like that then your duty is to get rid of them, not to just prop them up.”
Cummings also told the magazine Johnson acted as if considering “what would a Roman emperor do? So, the only thing he was really interested in – genuinely excited about – was, like, looking at maps. Where could he order the building of things?”
Cummings said Johnson fantasised about “monuments to him in an Augustine fashion”.
QAnon
I’m in love with QAnon
Fighting the lizard kings.
Seeking out the commies
Who run the paedophile rings.
I love my guns
My right to kill
Exercising
God’s will.
Under the constitution
I am free.
No government
Is gonna tax me.
I’m a QAnon believer
I know the world is flat.
The government’s my enemy.
I want my coup d’etat.
He may be a billionaire
Chubby chump
But I’ll put my faith
In President Trump.
He don’t hold with global warming
He’ll sort that old trade gap
Resurrect the oil industry –
No commie claptrap.
He says he’ll drain the swamp.
End these years of pain.
Build us a wall.
Make America great again!
I believe in the superiority
Of the white man.
God and my country.
I’ll give it all I can.
I’m a QAnon believer.
The UN’s a commie plot.
Trump’s our saviour
I’ll give him all I’ve got!
Opher – 6.1.2022
Somehow all these conspiracies come together in some absolutely crazy scenarios.
We all are cynical about self-serving politicians, supposed experts and the media and the populists have milked that to their own advantage.
The irony is that nobody is more self-serving than Trump, Bolsonaro and Johnson. They love conspiracy and help spread it.
QAnon has gathered all these absurd conspiracies together, pasted it tight with racism and elected Trump as their saviour.
It’s a weird conglomeration of religion, myth and absurdity, denial and fear.
Alien lizards, flat earth, paedophile rings, Satanists, Covid, vaccination, inequality, space ships, the UN, socialism, moon landings, holocaust, control, Muslims, immigrants and racism are all brought together in an insane Science Fiction conspiracy.
Can anyone imagine a more unlikely saviour that the philandering, misogynistic, racist, conniving billionaire?
You have to wonder how sane people come to believe this crap.
It’s a Dark Matter
There is dark energy pervading politics
Creating ninety-five per cent ignorance.
At its centre is a dark matter.
It is driving everything apart
Swirling, spinning and careering
Into isolation.
It is banishing the warmth
Of togetherness.
Will we ever come back together again?
Opher – 30.10.2019
I was reading about Dark Matter and Dark Energy. It makes up 95% of the mass of the universe and yet we know nothing about it.
It made me think.
All the energy and matter in the universe, every single atom and ray, makes up a mere 5% of what is out there. That is all we know about.
It is the Dark Energy that is driving the expansion of the universe. If it wasn’t for the Dark Energy gravity would pull us back together. Instead all our trillions of galaxies will spin off into the vacuum, become more and more isolated and die alone.
I thought this was analogous to the state of politics right now. There is a dark centre of populism and nationalism that is driving us apart, isolating us. It is based on ignorance. We can call it Trump, Brexit, Farage, Johnson or Bolsanaro.
Madness
Madness,
Stupidity,
Insanity!
Wars,
Forest fires,
Hunting!
Pollution,
Population growth,
Politics!
Who allows these leaders to get away with it?
Opher – 25.9.2019
Sometimes I think human beings suffer with mass insanity!
We elect psychopaths.
We do the most ridiculous, foolish things.
We are so cruel and thoughtless.
Imagine
Imagine a world with no dance;
A world of silence
Filled only by prayer,
Where no music stirs the soul.
Conceive a world without fashion
Or cosmetics.
Where women are hidden
Behind the bars
Of a social prison.
Think of a world where history is denied
But which is trapped
Within a medieval system
Of primitive law.
Envisage a world without sport
Or fun.
Where entertainment
Is a sin.
Visualise a world where science
Is denied,
Ruled by superstition
And words written in ages past.
Picture a world where society
Celebrates slavery, martyrdom,
Mutilation and death.
There are those who believe
God demands a drab
And soulless life
Based on mindless recitation
And total acceptance.
I am not one of these.
Opher 16.5.2016
Imagine
Fundamentalism is a contagious disease that is inherited through a vaccination of ignorance, as one generation injects the venom into their children.
Once someone accepts that every word of their holy book is sacred, is the exact word of god, must be taken literally and acted upon, they are lost.
It is the end of tolerance and freedom. There is no discussion.
Once a parent believes that they have the right, in fact the imperative, to brainwash their children into the same doctrine, they are all lost. There is no doubt or questioning.
Once a person accepts that the only truth is the version they hold and all other ‘truths’ are wrong we are on the road to division, hatred and war.
Once a person believes that women a lesser breed and should be segregated, hidden away, disabused of rights and freedoms, and always hidden from male gaze, we have abuse.
Once someone denies science, entertainment, music, sport and dance we are heading for a totalitarian fascism.
Once we have a regime that accepts mutilation, torture, slavery, arbitrary execution and martyrdom we have a society without human rights.
Fundamentalism is a scourge of insanity that needs opposing in all its forms.
The world I want to live in is alive with fun, beauty, tolerance, variety, fairness, freedom, awe, wonder and justice.
Over the course of the last hundred years we have spent countless trillions of pounds developing horrendous weapons to intimidate and kill each other.
Just imagine how that money could have been spent.
Just imagine if they had spent a quarter of it on research to develop generic antiviral drugs we might not live in fear of virus pandemics. Viruses could be a thing of the past.
Just think.
Instead we have invented ways of wiping each other out!
Are we mad?
