Head's sore but I can't unwind, so I thought I'd mess around here.
Been putting together a massively long, rambling post about Panama ... but I can't concentrate to edit at the moment.
Not sure it's even worth posting. Another one of those posts about nothing, really.
Sure, there's information. But it's just a bit of random information I found interesting.
Been thinking there may be a giant 'victimhood industry' that's evolved out there, comprised of and perpetuated by several interacting sectors within any given community: eg. government/legislators, legal industry stakeholders, interest groups, activists, political parties, academia, and media, as well as the more directly involved coalface workforce and above.
Shrilly pathologising (or piously preaching about) all trivia under the sun has somehow become the 'norm' in society, because everything is filtered through a skewed lens of hyper-vigilance for 'offence', oppression, suffering, injustice, 'privilege' and so forth, that 'must' be challenged, corrected, redressed, outlawed, legislated against, attacked, blamed, shamed, silenced -- especially silenced -- until the world is one homogeneous, perfectly healed, beautifully evolved, loving, hand-holding, whole; a Great Mother, upon which no alternate reality shall intrude.
What is desired, on a social scale, is an impossible return to the safety of the womb or a symbiotic mother-child state of bliss.
Meanwhile, martyr-victims have become hosts to their hero-saviours and, perversely, also have become the victims of any number of hidden agendas, both personal and political.
Where is the rational principle among all of this pathologising of life? Where is the resistance to loss of individuality, enforced conformity, loss of freedom and the removal of responsibility for oneself?
What I see is ugly. People who claim moral superiority are also people who think nothing of vilifying and destroying others, like a bunch of bible-bashing hick town rednecks with a hard-on for an execution.
It's how I think and feel at this very moment in time, sketched out in rough.
