The more rage hatred disdain and malice you feel in your heart the more love splendor joy and connection you feel simultaneously.
Something about the duality of man. Idk It’s weird and I don’t understand it, but this is the way it works.
Men want to be in a line.
You don’t.
You say step out of line and say to the others step out too and be free like me.
They don’t.
So you say “fuck it. You like being in a line so much? Line up behind me.”
So one does.
And then another.
And another.
You are now a leader.
This video goes ridiculously hard and I have no idea why lol Something about penguin suicide and the indomitable spirit of the human will lol I really don’t know but I watched it like 10 times. 😂
America is a nation that began with soaring dreams of freedom and self-creation, then over time it was tested and fractured by money, race, war, desire, and technology, until it was forced to confront whether it still believed in the meaning of its own promise.
For me?
The answer is without doubt.
Emphatically yes.
I still believe in America.
Sometimes I’ll space out and this recurring thought will play in my mind.
About the Belle Époque that was the 90’s and 2000’s. About how it was unceremoniously ripped away and about how the desire to take it back by force will lead to an American dictator.
I think about how those who are coming of age now never really knew the beautiful era. They only knew the dismal downturn.
But millennial politics are largely driven by a deep unconscious desire to return to the 90’s.
And so if American Hitler/stalin/Ceaser etc… does exist he’s probably a millennial. Someone who knows very deeply what was lost and will do anything to try and get it back.
I think about how this is probably inevitable and even though I can see it coming in the distance I can’t do anything to stop it.
Then I go back to scrolling.
