Now some people are praising the mentally ill for torching themselves to call attention to a cause. Slightly more cynical I ponder why none who injected and have massive problems do not call attention to the plight by lighting up in say the place they injected? Mebbe fire extinguishers? I also ask and have since 2020 where are the Maquis? I fuckin’ don’t know.
What I do know is that voting cements the craziness. Americans are afraid. Voting is their invisible ally. We vote! So here again I ask what is wrong with you people who vote for the whip hand of Left Hand or Right Hand. In other words, you won’t tolerate being cheated at Burger King or a Casino or even Disneyworld but any Governmental bureaucracy is just fine. I took a very different path in my life. Only in 2020 did I realize my intuition chose my fate. 12 years in and out of college rotating majors as I continued to mark time and strive to have a good time too. Good times were had, but not in college. O I had some great fun classes and am pleased that despite the English major killing interest in reading fiction for a few years, the other subjects of Political Science, History, and Philosophy held my interest.
Generally speaking education is Obedience school, Pre- K to-the top 10% in Grad School and then into the profession are being trained reliably to just shut up and do as told by an Authority figure. I will not go further into the idea. Many very bright people have talked about the dismal state of affairs. Though rarely I believe as deeply as Paulo Freire. For Freire, the educational process is never neutral. People can be passive recipients of knowledge — whatever the content — or they can engage in a ‘problem-posing’ approach in which they become active participants. As part of this approach, it is essential that people link knowledge to action so that they actively work to change their societies at a local level and beyond.
We in the West leave it up to the idiotic Right (Trump cult) and the Far Left. Where are Vaccine Victims Matter? WHAT no such rebellious entity? Whait you mean only astroturf Black Lives Matter matters?
I just don’t know. I lost my wife to Covid insanity that had police at gunpoint take her to a hospital; for poisoning. She obeyed her daughter.
I am losing patience. And I am only a Surrealist who looks at billboards thoughtfully. Imagine really, that in 100 cities billboards got altered to reflect actuality. It is not hard. Even an American today can do it. Say right next to a Medical Center.
Imagination to Power!

Like a starved person, mere whiffs of your lingering sanity help keep me sane. The billboards, the nudges, I can't help but hold grudges.
The high cost of a college education and the debt doesn't allow for an out.
Too late, if they ever do question.
