doomscrolling, I saw this one meme.\u00a0 At this point, I can\u2019t remember what it was about, whether it was Iran getting bombed, the rise of shitty gas prices (again), a bunch of dumb white guy CEOs biting into hamburgers, or whatever, but it went like, <em>The craziest part about X is that [orange fuckface in the white house] is named in the Epstein Files over 3,000 times<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">For whatever reason, this stuck with me, and I really began to actually think about recognize about all the shit going on in the country and across the world, that really are just a whole bunch of distractions to the fact that the sitting president of the United States has been named countless times in the Epstein Files.\u00a0 And of course, not a single fucking soul is doing anything about it, and as much as I want to love my country of birth, I just end up hating it a little bit more each time I think about it and am reminded of such.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">A few years ago, I felt like I had one of those life\u2019s revelations that in spite of the constitutional right to have information, the media really does go out of their way to steer people away from thinking about bigger issues, and at the time, there was a big hullabaloo about the Washington Redskins finally agreeing to change their name, conveniently at a time where the country was in turmoil over coronavirus, Black Lives Matter demonstrations, and just the \u2018usual\u2019 state of civil unrest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">That was probably the first time I really noticed and recognized a scenario of mass distraction like that, and despite the fact that I was like 40 years old, it felt like one of those na\u00efve moments of realizing that the world isn\u2019t quite as innocent and altruistic as we might want to believe it is.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">We are truly never too old to learn and realize new things.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Either way, that\u2019s kind of where I\u2019m at these days, feeling frustrated, disappointed, and generally mad at my country for being so simple-minded and easily distracted to bigger things.\u00a0 Obviously, I knew nothing major was really going to come out of the initial release of Epstein Files, because Washington is a spineless and gutless swamp full of people with all the cards who would absolutely not narc on each other, and would sooner eat their young than to act in a manner that positions themselves contrary to the mutation of whatever direction-wing that the right has transformed into these days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">It\u2019s almost flabbergasting the lengths that the current administration has gone to in order to get people not talking about the Epstein Files, and that the actual president of the country is named literal thousands of times in it, which is absolutely not a good thing, considering the context of just about everything else in them.\u00a0 Like, the United States basically started a war, with Iran, in order to get people to avert their eyes somewhere else.\u00a0 And then predictably, war-like conditions always result in a spike of gas prices, and for the people lucky enough to remain blind to World War 3, they definitely wouldn\u2019t miss the escalation of gas prices on the homefront, and then they\u2019re busy being miserable about that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">But honestly, it\u2019s the fucking noise about the McDonald\u2019s CEO and the wimpy bite he did, and the ensuing chatter and bullshit that has emerged from that, that has me feeling the most enraged.\u00a0 Because there\u2019s literally an unearthed horrific global pedophilia ring that was just revealed, but people would rather expend their energy debating and analyzing some rich asshole taking a bite out of a hamburger.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">As much as I loathe all of the fucks in Washington that are keeping our entire country as the cesspool it\u2019s been downgraded to, I have just as much vitriol and disdain for all the people in the country that fall for such elementary distraction tactics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">I digress though.\u00a0 This is a topic that I really didn\u2019t want to expend any energy on, because politics are all shit and I hate them, but it\u2019s like when I\u2019m on social media, and I see things that I want to comment on, where I can utilize the template of \u201cthe craziest thing about X is that [orange fuckface] is in the Epstein Files,\u201d but I don\u2019t want to deal with the rebuttals and responses of anyone who does live on that side of the fence, because their stupidity would undoubtedly be detrimental to my general state of mental health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">So to my safe little brog that nobody reads, where I can pop off about whatever topic I want, without there being any real chance for any recourse, even ones as inflammatory as politics are.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A little while ago as I was doomscrolling, I saw this one meme.\u00a0 At this point, I can\u2019t remember what it was
