Caution: this post is purely antidotal rhetoric without factual basis beyond my own experience and powers of observation. In no way is it supposed to be presumed that I am correct. But I do encourage you think about what you think the top ten things are that are wrong with America and how you'd go about proactively changing things without hurting anyone, because the Lord Almighty knows, far more than then things are wrong with America, but here's a few to start some dialogue, featured in no particular order:
1). WE WORK TOO FUCKING MUCH
Jesus H. Christ, we work all the fucking time when we can find the work and then it's still not enough for The Man, we have to clock mandatory OT or get a second PT job. Chicks work through their labor pains not to lose their base pay scale. This shit happens and it happens here, in America. I have seen travesties committed against my own people. The employer-employee social contract is tainted and corrupted for the most part. We are consistently overworked, underpaid, underemployed, undervalued and dehumanized. It is done systematically. We are in the belly of the leviathan at all times, we are enslaved for a wage and call it freedom. We should never settle for the term "working poor" to be anything other than an oxymoron. Trickle down economics is a fucking pyramid scheme. It's all bullshit, the great majority of you hate your jobs. You know it's a joke, you're just another cog or crank of a capitalistic beast gone out of control. But not just any capitalism, you are under the spell of predatory Janus-face capitalism. It manufactures the consent of your children to bow to this bogus system (see the quickly approaching number two). It's sole purpose is to create the malleability of your will, stealing your hard earned wages through taxes, fees, necessary commodities, and manufactured needs.
This idea of the "welfare state" and the "welfare queen" is utter total bullshit and many a cat has gotten fat on the restriction free legit "corporate welfare nanny state" our paid for government endorses. As we erroneously pretend a corporate entity is a human blood person.
I get furious when people seem to think that the average American is a stupid, selfish, lazy simpleton. The average American has been misguided and lied to all their lives. They are under a grand deception of sorts, they are bred to accept the illusions of Hollywood, commercials are the new pulpit. They cling to religion with the best of intention, but it is a limp empty teat, bearing no more milk for them. They starve spiritually. A lot of our children drink too much, drug too much, and fuck too much. They don't have big thoughts. They're taught to regurgitate memorized 'facts', not to deconstruct in our schools.
So we are worked too much, we commute too much, we are separated too much from one another, we are alienated. We're forced to drink the corporate sponsored red Kool-Aide and say it tastes great, it makes us so fulfilled and happy. When for most of us, homelessness is a mere one paycheck away. We are not rich, we are enchanted by bullshit fluff.
We could work 20 hours a week, 15, 5 -- or even NONE, we could enact a mandatory living wage of $35,000 annually to each American citizen making working an option, not a socially manufactured obligation. Giving rise to meaningful work and a truly skilled labor class, a glorious creative class. Nobody says we have to live this way. The rules can be fluid, we are all connected. We just have to want more for each other and ourselves.
The automation age is coming soon and there's bound to be more job displacement than we've ever seen. Baxter Bots will take the worthless jobs, nobody really wants anyways, but then they'll grab the helm of specialist positions formally reserved for the intelligent human, robots will replace physicians, surgeons, teachers, because robots won't demand a pay scale or benefits or try to unionize, and do as they're programmed.
If you're poor, you're best off embracing working only as much as required since your labor is making someone else rich.
There is so much human misery in this world, much of it over acquiring money, so what if some of that pressure is eased?--it would eradicate homelessness, reduce prostitution if we had a base guaranteed income just for existing as a member of the human race. This would do much for the everyday person. There is also so much more uncertainty in this world and such a need for so many to have an opportunity to start over.
The funds for such a venture are there, they've just been misallocated. Too much money is fed into our prison and entertainment and sports industries. These things are hollow distractions and excessive life-altering punishments when it comes to penalization over trivial transgressions.
Speaking of which, I digress.
#2). STOP ADVERTIZING TO PEOPLE
Just fucking stop it already. None of this bullshit matters, you're wasting trillions of dollars on advertising, nobody gives a shit anymore. Funnel that money on better-spent ventures that would benefit all of America. Start trying to see how many eating disorders fall off the radar after a couple of years of no adverts whatsoever. Trust results and word of mouth as ways to sell your product. Be ethical in your business decisions, stop trying to poison the fucking planet and rip people off. And for Christ's sake, stop selling to the children, stop pimping your damned products to the kids, stop selling them toys, clothes, sexy dolls, stop all the horseshit, back the fuck off and get out of our psychosphere you fucking psychos.
We are under a constant physic barrage of infotainment that cripples our souls. Since birth. My generation is the generation that knows our cartoons existed merely to sell us toys. And now you sell pink pretty princesses to our young women and you sell guns to our sons. It's created a horrid rancid quagmire of homogenisation, both of places and personalities. It's awful. Advertizing ought to be illegal. We can seek our own information and determine on our own if a product is good for us or not. There is an over saturation of false diversity when we all go shopping and it is known that humans are depressed when presented with too many choices, the entire shopping experience is an illusion of choice and imagined wealth. It's not real. You are fed the machine so you can feed the machine, but you should be raging against it. You should be exorcising all the demons from the hallways.
You should be demanding more, by demanding less. I am under the personal belief that we need advertising in our lives about the same as we need warfare, that is to say, not at all. It serves no higher purpose in the aspirations of mankind, other than the serving of the profit motive of the very few, at sometimes the cost of great spiritual oppression of the very many.
Which leads me to number three...
#3). LEGALIZE DRUGS
You know what creates drug addicts?--an emotional wound, abuse, molestation, poverty, chronic anxiety, chronic pain, but drugs don't create addicts, if they did, everybody would be addicted to every single drug they've ever tried which is just not true. A victimless crime, is no crime at all.
In Canada, employers are not permitted to drug test their employees since they rightfully recognize that it is an infringement upon their personal liberties and should have no impact on work performance. What is any entity corporate, government, or otherwise, having anything to do with what I personally wish to ingest in my body? Now when it becomes problematic and endangers others, yes, then I should be jailed and restrained. If a certain drug is known to cause such issues, it should be studied fairly and deemed a real danger or not to society.
But the issue of pot, when both cigarettes and booze are legal, two of the most lethal substances you can ingest long term are somehow socially acceptable--you gotta be fuckin' kiddin' me!!
There are so many good, good reasons to legalize drugs, I can't even list them all, I know it might sound shocking at first, but it's really the only way to regulate such things, take money from out of the hands of terrorists, from gangs, and drug cartels, you take away their fuel, their fuel is illegal drugs, the attraction for a lot of people is the notion of illegal. They feel they are doing something naughty, but if that notion is eliminated, they can finally see it for what it really is, without prejudice and determine if it's actually just stupid.
