Fiscal Activism or WTF Seriously America?!

 There are very useful publications and applications for mobile devices related to "Voting with your dollar" that provide a wealth of easy reference tools to help us learn how and what we can do to make the changes we need to in our own lives. promote fiscal activism by not buying stuff you don't actually need from companies that are actively destroying our home and treating your fellow humans like cattle that eats plastic and shits money.


 Whether you are interested in buying American made and manufactured products, or not perpetuating an entire industry that poisons and tortures animals until they expire from toxic exposure from, from,, deodorants. The facts are, it is time to change our nasty habits.

 
We need to find and teach each other that consumption for its own sake is a losing model, and it will kill our entire species,,,, if a giant rock doesn't get us first.


The self delusional ideal of capital worth, as a measurement of human value. As if what you have, your house, the car you drive, your watch and clothes are part of the equation that validates your existence and self worth,,,,; it's so gross.   


Don't get me wrong, i like having stuff, being able to go places,  and do stuff is great; being poor sucks ass. I grew up poor and lived worked hard get out of poverty. Right now I am poor as I have ever been in my adult life.  I make the best of it and I am always aware that my poverty is above and beyond what many of my fellow humans on this planet will ever hope to know. . I have been to war; the day to day lives of civilians is survival. I did what I could to protect them as they put their lives in danger for a stones weight in rice, maybe some hard tack bread. I can't even write about that, it fills me with rage.

Lets clear some of the fog,,,

American Industry:

China didn't steal all our raw materials, our patents or our manufacturing and textiles production industries; we outsourced them. Our great American Industries sold our national manufacture workforce out for massive golden ribbon welcomes in countries with little to no oversite, or regulations; and what pisses me off is that we negotiated tax shelters and gave them protections for their endeavors payed for by the our national federal taxes. WTF seriously?!  And how is it that so many of you Patriotic Americans simultaneously fight against regulation and oversight, while screaming to the sky about your careers and jobs being taken overseas.... 


Who did this to us?!

You did. 


You either didn't educate yourself and take part in our democracy, or you didn't vote
because of   {INSERT EXCUSE FOR NOT VOTING}

OR


You fought tooth and nail to elect people who actively engage in creating policies and removing the roadblocks to and safeguards that our people fought for over a hundred and sixty years to put in place.

You cry like little babies about the government coming to takes your guns, but guess what? 

 If the government wanted to take the majority of new manufactured weapons off the market, it would happen. That would be that, and it would be the people we elected and our enforcement bureaus who would stand the ground. What would you do about it, arm yourselves and march on your own local government and demand access to more weapons? It is not like any of those companies have any respect for your intelligence or activism skills. You buy the products from the people who are screwing you, and everyone you care about. 

 How can you squawk about how proud and patriotic you are when you have never done anything but yell?

 
Right now, at this time in history all of America's boastful, ugly anger and lies are being placed in front of the world, it is time to bow your head in shame, to look at the rage and hurt all around you. See the path you walked so proud that brought our country so low. You have to earn pride, and it is given by others through work done for its own sake. You can feel pride when others are proud of you. Americans have a whole lot of real life that needs to be faced and we can do it together. And together doesn't mean, just us, or our wealthy powerful buddy governments, it means humans, all of us and especially our neighbors.

Nobody,
                from anywhere on this planet looks to America for great ideas or innovations anymore. We just buy the majority of the great products made by other peoples. Even our best and brightest global tech companies like Apple manufacture the worlds most sought after high end tech, in countries we are actively apposed to because of their human rights abuse.  Why? Because you all need to have the cheapest, the best and you want it made from whatever is available, as long as it doesn't cost more than its worth to you. None of us deserves anything special, especially when we don't make anything special.

We are the worlds #1 creator of fucked up daily news media involving violence, of all varieties. We are the number one global creators of new independent amateur pornography, which would be great if we were the leading distributors of our own pornography, but we aren't.

 We don't make the best car, or the most reliable of,,,,, anything anymore! The products that America is known for are like our angry "Patriots", empty, and worthless.

It is our responsibility to change ourselves.
We must recognize this and stop the hypocrisy. 


I don't get all ruffled but once a year for this blog, I spend the majority of my time living, and finding new depths of kindness; listening and understanding. Showing people that kindness is a strength, that it's value grows and distributes itself in ever growing magnitudes.  That pride is earned from what you bring, or make or tend that has worth to your fellow beings.  That personal responsibility is not a punishment, it is a noble virtue that we should each seek within us. It is a key skill that helps us be more aware of what we do to each other and helps us to see communication and immediate action are the right things to pursue when we fuck up. 

 It is a mind field of oops, OMG, and WTF I am so sorry. The only people doing it wrong are the ones not doing anything, or mean people. Be kind, be strong, yes you fucked up, but the best thing about fucking up is being able to make it better, make yourself and the world better.


I genuinely care. I love my fellow humans and I look forward meeting and learning about all the cool stuff we have to share with each other. Our differences are what makes us amazing, and we have the power, each and every one of us to decide to share our differences with each other.


Good Luck, we can suck better, together.

suck, suck, suck,
