The bullshit of illusion is gone.
I get it now. I really get it.
You don’t get love and support from friends and family. nooooooo. That’s all just an illusion here. Words.
You don’t get attention and help from your community.
And you sure as hell don’t get anything from the system or any of its myriad agencies. Yeah, I had two more today, tell me “um most likely not – go here”.
🤬🤬🤬
You get help when the MEDIA HIGHLIGHTS you and tells the masses: THIS PERSON HERE. THIS IS THE PERSON OF THE WEEK TO HELP.
People go to protests and assault an ICE agent.
Or stand up to one of those ICE people.
ICE fights back.
Person gets injured.
BAM! Headline news!
Fundraisers are created immediately for this person, and suddenly, within hours, you have MILLIONS of happy little dollars dancing into their life or the life of their families.
All because people do what the media tells them to do.
All because people believe it when the media tells them who the next world stage victim is. You a solo “victim” – human in need – asking for help? Sorry. Not interested because my television hasn’t told me you’re worthy.
Doesn’t matter if these money-donating people have to step over homeless moms or fentanyl addicts to get to their banks to make sure they have the funds to distribute to the person who again the media told them to. Or drive around potholes and crumbling road pieces to get there. That, as well is not important enough to DO something about.
Doesn’t matter if these same money-dating folks have criticized others who have reached out for help – someone like myself, let’s say – saying “you can’t post that here” or “why are you asking us to pay you money to read your stuff I don’t understand that” or god forbid I write something on Unity that triggers their little program turning them into rabid bats and going for the attack by then turning your heartfelt words into some justifiable reason to say “ARE YOU A TRUMP SUPPORTER? ARE YOU OK WITH WHAT HE IS DOING? ANSWER ME!”
(yeah this is what happened after I tried to make some peace here locally on the topic of unity and did not ONCE MENTION THE “T” WORD.)
(and yeah this is the sort of responses I have received when I have shared requests for support for my work, for employment, for housing (except the creepy looking dude who had a run down trashy trailer for $1800/month)….for funds period)
Because I am white, and therefore I am privileged.
Because I am straight and therefore not diverse enough.
Because I am not allowed to support even just one tiny thing T is doing – even when I criticize him for a butt load of b.s. – all these programmed people who I swear make up the vast majority of this reality are incapable of seeing ME for who I am and HEARING me and caring just a teeny tiny bit to help me out so I don’t fucking drown.
Privileged, my lily-white ass.
But I see clearly now who does get the love here. The attention and support.
And it ain’t the kind ones.
It ain’t the abused and battered ones.
Nope.
It’s the ones the media says are deserving. On both sides of the political toxic fence.
And me?
I don’t want to have ANY PART of such a world anymore.
