What did I used to do before all of this happened?
Months ago, and even years ago…
Before the thought of any type of pandemic or huge “situation” was truly a reality, something dystopian was always a fantasy I’d mused about.
And yet, even that type of wishful thinking wasn’t manifested into a true apocalyptic “end times” scenario.
No, what we got is this faux contagious disease (not even a legit one that would terrify us to the core because of its natural reach and deadliness, and overall controllability), with all the standard physical symptoms, expanded into this huge scheme of sorts. Our body responds in fever and cold-like symptoms to EVERYTHING. If you think about it, they were smart to be so on the nose with their deception, because people will believe anything, or they will MAKE themselves believe it.
One hand, I don’t think it’s an issue that should be political in the sense of actual “proper procedures” and all that, and you don’t mandate NATURE. But at the same time, how isn’t it a “political”/branding strategy?
I mean, all of a sudden the “government” or whatever entities you’d like to call them, can make all these quick changes to “help” people in this country, through aid, money, etc.
So you have to think: how much trouble are they in, that they actually have to put on this façade of helping “their people”?
I’m guessing their strategy would be easier on their minds if they could go through with their schemes and plans without the unfortunate side effect of actually helping anyone.
Then I start thinking of who might MOST benefit from this entire scenario: online businesses, delivery apps, makers of sanitary products, money “hand outs”/laundering…
Maybe some other brands besides the company “usa corporation” has benefits in all this. I mean they’d have to. Such a large-scale plan has to have major support in many industries. So what do those industries have in common?
But one of my favorite theories so far is that this entire covid situation is that it is simply a business maneuver: these “aid bills” and all this “help from the government” is the most flippantly brazen way for a business to launder money. And usa incorporated, though it is not the best, or ethical, or brilliant entity—we can say it’s creative in attempting to solve its internal business problems.
They crack down on “organized crime” because they aren’t getting a cut. That’s all it’s ever about. The whiny child wants someone else’s toys and success, and will only stop if they are bought, bribed, or killed.
People thought that cleaning their money through little strip mall businesses, casinos, parlors, and the multitude of other ways there are to launder. But such a massive need to clean money, that they’re making up billions and trillions in “aid”…come on. We are all willing accomplices to this “crime”. We take the $1,200, thinking either, “yay free money” or “I love my country/patriotic bullshit.”
And whether consciously or not, we are accepting a bribe in exchange for our compliance. Not unlike Pablo Escobar having his entire country on payroll to sustain his business and life. (Besides all the unnecessary violence, I don’t see anything wrong with running one’s own empire, but I digress)
usa corporation does the same thing. And they are so shameless that they are presenting us with their laundering, that most won’t recognize it for what it is because it’s so outside the reality they are comfortable with and used to. That such a huge slap in the face by their government (like all other governmental diminishments of honor), that they are scarcely able to believe it. They’ll just be in denial and get angry that someone would “lie” about their “pReCiOus gOvErnMenT”, that of course this scheme will be gotten away with.
People would rather blame anything else than accept a new reality that paints them as accountable for any shit they do.
Maybe none of this is even a crime—I mean nothing is naturally a crime. We just come into the world, write down some rules we want OTHERS to abide by, and call it a law. Well, I’m not talking about what “legally” constitutes a crime—like any other endeavor. We just use the human psyche to get what we want. We use inclinations, beliefs, propaganda, emotions—all to be able to manipulate our external world to achieve outcomes of our own choosing. I don’t need to blame some entity for my own problems. What I CAN do is take advantage of the entire systems of the world when they benefit me, and get around the things that don’t.
We are all going to attribute anything we ever do to the most base of reasons: survival.
But the truth is, outside of our basic needs that we literally need for our bodies to stay alive—everything else is a luxury.
We are not altruistic and selfless and doing it all to maintain our status of corpus vivum. We fight for “bigger” things than survival: we fight for an entitlement to luxury.
I can’t even just hate an entire entity, because I know people are just doing things to benefit themselves. And as long as I know that, I always know what someone’s motivation in life is. Is it my fault that I can somehow spin that motivation to get myself something I want? Especially, if it’s not hurting that person or anyone else?
I guess barring some capabilities of national government, I’m as unscrupulous as any country’s “leadership.”
Maybe I launder a few thousand dollars, or maybe I just hide my income and resources completely. My entire enterprise isn’t cleaning billions and trillions. My enterprise keeps me living comfortably. I don’t need trillions for that. And I don’t engage in commerce, or NOT engage in commerce, with people/businesses based on them running a wholesome “legal” or clean enterprise. I do business with the ones that will provide the product or service I want, at the value that I see fit. We are all accomplices. I choose to be an empowered one.
At the end of the day, I know, and we should all know, that absolutely anything that we disagree with or are experiencing, or maybe even deny that we ourselves perpetuate—all those ththis—we are looking in a mirror. We are all at fault.
This isn’t a call to action for morality. This is just a call-out to anyone that thinks they’ve got it figured out. You don’t.
I don’t.
The entire world is running on self-preservation. And you know what lengths people will go to to protect or advance themselves.
And another thing, people don’t want to hear shit about fuck if it makes them look ignorant, weak, or like maybe they trusted the wrong people or entities. The fact that some people only in recent years have been saying “I don’t trust my government anymore”…
Where THE FUCK have you been?
How have you EVER trusted it? I could wax poetic about how people are stooges taken for a ride by usa incorporated, or any country for that matter. They are all corporations. They have business needs, and they do what they can to achieve them.
Now, this story I came up with might not be true, or it might be partially true, or it might be the furthest thing from truth. But the point is…it’s all possible.
No one can reasonably say that this scenario is impossible. They’d have to be certified idiots to say otherwise.
If it is physically possible to occur. Then it can.
Doesn’t mean it will, or is. But it can.
And that possibility is enough for me to accept our fate.
And that possibility is also enough to make me decide to live my life as unscrupulous as I’d like, because truth is: our world is chaos.
And we can do anything at all if we convince our own selves.
