i tend to be neither right, nor left - somewhere down
the middle -
obviously the left is culturally marxist -
since... marxist economics is long gone -
again: i believe it does work, in exceptional
circumstance... and those circumstances
are... notably Poland from 1945 - 1989...
or what could become of Syria...
given... the warsaw pact umbrella didn't receive
any h'american hand-out of the Marshall Plan...
but neutral countries like Sweden and Switzerland
did...
nice - we were given communism...
exceptional circumstances imply:
rebuilding a nation...
from: half of Warsaw where:
no brick stood upon a brick after the Warsaw
Uprising led by students armed with sling-shots
against... an army armed with MG 42's...
exceptional implies: starting with nothing...
or rather: capitalism wasn't exactly as old as it
was in Duetschland or England, France or
the Netherlands... serfdom was abolished in Russian
in 1861...
exceptional circumstance also implies:
not as an insurrection...
and exceptional circumstances implies:
that socialism lasts for about 3 generations...
implemented by a 4th...
the sort of socialism my grandfather reaped
benefits from... while his children: my mother
my uncle my father wouldn't:
having been displaced, having to move since
the country was crumbling as the capitalistic
wild west moved in on the fertile territory...
and my generation: who simply have to
explain little oddities...
and only feel inclined to be reminiscent
of how socialism worked for my grandparents...
as it stands... Poland's foundation
can come from a gratification of socialism...
but its current state? only from capitalism...
in England the "dreaded" council flats...
and the goly grail of a semi-detached
with a garden... i grew up in a "council flat"...
well... all the homes required to rebuild
a nation after being raped in the ass by germany
and in the mouth by russia?
build up: concentrate the cities -
leave as much land to grow crops...
council flats in england are shit,
compared to the council flats in poland...
the key secret is the balcony...
most council flats in poland have decently
sized balconies...
most polish women prefer to turn
these balconies into: gardens...
they tend to fill them with flowers...
the idea never caught on in england...
where balconies seem to extensions of
the attic or the garden shed: storage space...
i'm hardly an advocate for communism...
but it's not exactly: all capitalism GOOD
all communism BAD...
in the the latter scenario? neighbour knew
each other... i'm surrounded by people
who either don't know me,
or fill me with animosity: which is reciprocated
over petty things: smoking a cigarette outside
my bedroom window became a problem for
my neighbour...
if capitalism is this pristine
economic model... 0-hour contracts?!
it sure as shit isn't anything but an economic model...
which translates into other aspects of life
as nothing more than: arbeit macht frei...
in england it's still not illegal to receive
work-related phonecalls outside of work hours...
even in Germany it's illegal...
so the left and its current cultural marxism...
what does the right propose?
cultural darwinism...
besides that... the humanities...
are borrowing scientific terms...
cis- and trans- are, or rather should be:
chemistry exclusive prefixes refering to isomers...
the concept is so simple in chemistry -
but placed in a broader biology debate becomes
senseless...
another pet peeve of mine?
social engineering...
when someone starts talking to me about social
engineering i have an image in my head...
trying to hammer nails into wood using
a screwdriver...
or... attempting to screw screws into
a metal hole (that has the rotations of the screw
clearly defined to compliment the screw)...
using a hammer... same shit, different cover...
and all these social "engineers" are so
incompetent it would make any engineer fume
and blush... imagine being so careless when
constructing a bridge,
social pseudo-engineering...
how anyone allowed these people to get away
with such incompetence over the most
necessary fabric...
no wonder that so many bridges are
burning between people...
this cultural marxist social
engineering is probably as mad bad and ugly
as the nazi eugenic engineering...
although the former is less obvious:
and by that i imply: it's more irritating -
since it focuses on some unknown of before:
pedagogic pedantry...
one can immediately see the ideal
nazi propaganda poster for the family...
but this current load of bollocks?
maybe this is one of the reasons why i don't
want to have children...
what would i gain?
i have memories from when i was 4...
so i'm missing about 3 years of watching as
an adult could influence a blank canvas of a child...
up to 1 year old is the affair of a woman...
breast-feeding, cuddling...
yadda-yadda...
3 years of inquiry...
and then... the hellish years of giving your
child into the hands of strangers, state-strangers...
and one day: you're barely recognizable
in the neu-atheist "concern" for eternity,
i.e.: passing on your genes...
last time i checked the mind
does exist outside of the biological blueprint...
in that res extensa "vogue" of outside influences...
hell: just because i share 50% of my father's genes
doesn't imply i share 50% of cognitive abilities as him...
10%... i have the greater language skills...
he's a great technician...
he has superior arithmetic skills...
but i can solve a sudoku puzzle better than he can...
sometimes we are mistaken as being brothers...
ergo: genes...
so much for "seeing" eternity by passing
genes...
do i have some impeding debt to pay
off humanity? by passing a piece of me?
am i supposed to think that i would be paying
off debt by procreating, having children,
what a silly debt to pay off...
the, "greater good"... last time i heard...
people have children to make better circumstance
for themselves while they grow older...
the whole guilt trip reminding you:
we mothered and fathered you...
understandable... when i visit my grandparents
i like to do the odd job around the apartment...
last time i fixed up their kitchen...
but not every child is going to be as...
forthcoming...
the generation after me?
gen Z? one instance on a bus...
colt (14 / 15 years old) sitting in a seat designated
for the elderly, the pregnant,
the disabled...
glued to his screen, headphones on...
elderly man gets on the bus... hunchback...
takes about a minute to get on the bus...
it's always his seat (summer holidays...
the cold remains glued to the screen)...
the old man is standing over him
imploring silently...
what happens next? the bus driver gets out
from behind his driver's cubicle...
and lectures the colt...
people on the bus start clapping
and in unison: agreeing...
the colt? he doesn't simply get
out the seat and moves to another...
he's so ashamed... he gets off the bus...
so much for right wing millenial youtube
commentators rallying behind
gen Z's sense of "edgy" humour
and anti-political correctness...
sure... sure...
you can have them...
at least most of my millenial
"comrades" still held the belief in:
respecting your elders -
an alien concept these days;
we drank white lightning cider at 14...
bought porno magz from corner shops...
stayed out late...
learned to bicycle a roundabout
and never fall under a truck...
(wearing headphones)...
we bullied each other in school -
we threw snowballs at each other after school
hours when the school prohibited it
during school hours...
and we sometimes
had fights... me and Kieran O'Mahoney...
two right suckers in the kidneys
outside of a mechanics class...
him later crying telling the teacher: he started it!
me voicing my "concern": stop being such a girl
and crying! did i get suspended?
did the teacher do anything beside showing
a guilty smile at my comment? no, not really...
the same Kieran who i met years later...
a bouncer standing outside a nightclub...
whatever life was... it really was...
what life currently is, what one hears of
what life is, these days?
is there any point in not being
a recluse?
em... i'll always show off my anti-recluse
side with strangers, preferrably in a foreign country.
