The Human Race
This is just a rambling piece, spouting my own opinions and feelings on the current state of the world. Please take everything I say in this post as just an opinion of mine. You're entirely free to agree/disagree with any part of it as you wish. Don't take anything I say as total fact, regardless of how much I believe in it or how much you agree/disagree with it.
I'm just trying/hoping to get people thinking about things, and to question everything going on around them.
Always question everything, never ever take anything at face value, and make your own damn mind up!
I've genuinely been trying my very best to be more positive in my outlook on life this year. Even with the whole world burning up into ashes right before my eyes, I've just been sitting back, letting the flames lick at my skin all around me, with a smile on my face saying, "What a beautiful warm glow :)"
I've been trying my damnedest to just keep my damn mouth shut and enjoy the pleasant crackling sound of the fire amongst all the bloodcurdling screams and wails from all the innocents being burned to a crisp.
I tried my best...
But, dammit, if the universe is not just doing its best to make being positive such an impossible task to achieve! lol
You can take your World War Threes, your global viral pandemics, your global recessions, your murder hornets, and everything else that's horrible to happen in 2020, and shove it!
The newest addition to the big ol' soup of shit of 2020, is definitely going to be the one thing that completely stunts and destroys the advancement of humanity for at least the next several centuries. The developing race war that's taken the world by storm.
Oh, but this isn't a war involving weapons, mass destruction, executions, prisoner of war camps, trench warfare, or any other traditional sense of a conflict between warring factions.
Oh no, this is a war that's going to be far more destructive than any of those things!
Even nuclear warfare will seem like a better option for humanity compared to the destruction that's going to come from the fallout of all this hatred in the world.
Already, we're seeing just how fractured the world has become thanks to this. There's so much more hatred, vileness, bitterness, and anger amongst humans now, than at any other time in history. The divide between human beings is growing bigger and bigger, and that opening chasm is about ready to swallow us all up in one fell swoop.
Black Lives Matter has undone decades upon decades of hard-fought social development, understanding, justice and equality work from many a brave individual who sacrificed so much (even their very lives), in just a matter of a couple short weeks with their brand of divisive racist hatred.
It's no secret that I've made it clear in the past of my utter disdain for that horrific racist political movement, who seek to only drive a huge wedge between the many differing races of the world, who wish to divide humanity and stoke the flames of racist hatred until ultimately every group/race on the planet all hate each other.
Like the bitter hate-fuelled cowards they are, they hide behind their namesake "black lives matter" slogan, and they hide their true intentions of it all behind a veil of moral righteousness. They publicly explain themselves and their slogan to mean that they're combating the "global racism and discrimination towards the black race".
OK, combating any form of racism and discrimination against a group/race found in the world is indeed a good cause to champion. Racism and discrimination has no right to exist in the modern age of civilised enlightenment, it serves no purpose to anyone, and should quite rightly be wiped out. No human being should ever have to face racism and/or discrimination based on their race in their live.
Sadly, we don't live in a perfect world, and racism/discrimination exists. But we must never give up, we must always challenge racism/discrimination in all its forms until every human on the planet is safe from being discriminated against for the colour of their skin.
It's just a huge shame that Black Lives Matter doesn't wish to destroy racism and discrimination in the world. It wants to end racism/discrimination against the black race, sure, but only to the black race.
Now, forgive my ignorance here, but I ask the question; is it really only black people around the world who are the targets of racism? Do only black people around the world experience discrimination based on their race?
There are certainly places around the world where being black is a disadvantage. There's also places around the world where being black is an advantage. But that's the case for all groups and races around the world. In some places in the world it's very beneficial to belong to a certain group or race, in other places it's very unbeneficial to belong to a certain group or race.
And there's even some parts of the world where race is a total non-issue, where no matter which group or race you belong to, you have the exact same advantages/disadvantages as every other group/race living there.
Until we end ALL forms of discrimination and racism throughout the world, there's only ever going to be some places in the world where race is a non-issue. THAT'S what we should all aim for. Not just for one race to be "saved" from discrimination. All races should have and deserve the privilege of not being discriminated against.
Black Lives Matter are only representing and championing the rights, privileges and freedoms of the black race, and are only targeting racism/discrimination that's only targeted at the black race. Forgive my ignorance again, but I ask, surely only championing just ONE race out of all the thousands of different races found around the world, well, isn't that just a little bit of a racist thing to do? O_o
It just all feels very sinister to me. I'm seeing places online where people are trending the hashtag #WhiteLivesMatter, and everyone is attacking this and the people who tag that for being racist.
For me, personally, anyone saying "white lives matter" is just as stupid, pointless, and ridiculous as anyone who says "black lives matter". There's no difference at all between the sentiments. And to those who argue that #WhiteLivesMatter is racist, I ask them, "Would you still consider it to be racist if #BrownLivesMatter, or #YellowLivesMatter, or #PurpleLivesMatter, or #TartanLivesMatter, or whatever lives matters, started trending?"
There's even plenty of idiots who are now claiming that #AllLivesMatter is a racist thing to tag! hahaha xD
Like, seriously, the least non-racist thing of all to say is that every human life on earth matters. But, nope, according to certain dumbasses, that's a very racist thing to proclaim.
Only #SomeLivesMatter is acceptable(!) hahaha xD
Ahh, there's no end to the stupidity found in humans lol but maybe that's something the human race can all unite together behind? That humanity, regardless of race, is a very stupid thing, we're all just dumbass idiots, and we should all join together as one big gelatinous mass of stupidity? Just a thought :)
Prepare yourself, folks, there's going to be a TON of positive-discrimination that's going to come from all this.
..Ugh, PoSiTiVe-DiScRiMiNaTiOn is the worst fucking tool for "defeating racism" that has ever been conjured up in the brain-dead minds of the most incompetently stupid idiots on the planet.
I mean, fuck judging someone on the content of their character and acting just and fair to someone based upon who they are as a person and how they act/behave around/towards others, fuck all that noise. Let's just all judge people on the colour of their skin and/or group/race they belong to, and reward/punish them thusly for only that sole reason! That'll defeat racism(!)
Like, let's all destroy discrimination WITH discrimination! That'll definitely solve that particular problem in humanity and bring all the races together in harmonious unity, by rewarding some groups/races and punishing other groups/races(!)
That won't divide humanity at all(!)
...Fucking dumbass morons...
But I digress, and will put the lid back onto that whole can of worms for now :P lol
Am I the only one who's horrified by the censorship and wiping out of human history that's come from all of this?
Black Lives Matter "protesters" (re: thugs, hooligans, and nasty violent scumbags) are tearing down statues, and crossing out the names and events in the history books to appease their own agenda and the sensibilities of the modern age.
What total fucking bullshit!
Yes, some statues can be found in the world which depict people who benefited to varying degrees of involvement from the 17th - 18th century African slave trade. Slavery was/still is a very horrible shitstain that blots the sheets of humanity and it has no place whatsoever in a civilised world -- though, sadly, slavery and trade in humans still exists in the world to this day, yet no one likes to talk about that because it offends certain people/governments...!
But guess what, that wasn't the only time people and governments practised in and benefited from human slavery.
Oh no, slavery has been around since the dawn of man (possibly even before modern humans rose up through the evolutionary ranks?).
The Ancient Greeks owned and traded in slaves, does that mean we're to tear down all the Ancient Greek artefacts around the world? Are we to tear apart everything the Ancient Greeks taught us about language, maths, science, and democracy, amongst the many other things we got from the Ancient Greeks, because they owned and traded in slaves?
The Ancient Romans traded in slavery, does that mean we're to wipe away all the architecture and the names of modern places around the world that derived from back when the Romans had an empire and built/named our towns, roads, and places? Are we to tear apart everything we got from the Ancient Romans because they owned and traded in slaves?
If we're to do that, then we're going to have to destroy EVERYTHING we own/use right now. Because even today, governments are trading in slaves/benefiting from slavery, and there's very little if anything that we own/use today that's not the result of/or has been dirtied by slave labour in some form or another.
All just the appease our modern sensibilities. What total fucking bullshit.
Tearing down and defacing statues, is just a piss-poor excuse for dumbass thugs to take out their impotent rage and urge for violence on an inanimate object that has very little if anything to do with their cause -- that's if they're not too busy looting shops for that brand new TV they got their eye on, or ganging up on and beating up a defenceless person just because they don't agree with them...
I'm not going to justify any slave trades that's happened/happens around the world, because there is no justification for that level of cruelty placed upon humans. But I'm not going to wipe those whole events from the history/record books, either. There was pros that came from those vile trades, as well as cons too. That's something we're all going to have to decide as individuals for ourselves as to whether such human suffering was ultimately a good thing for humanity in the long run (the ends justifying the means), or whether that price was just too terrible a cost for humanity to have paid...
Either way, I'd rather we all use history for what it's best for, and that's to LEARN from it. But how are any of us to learn from history, if we cross out all the parts/names/places/events in history that's unsettling to our modern sensibilities? The simple answer is, we cannot. We need to look at and study ALL the parts of human history, no matter how unpleasant some of it is, if we wish to know our future and advance humanity for the better.
Censorship has NO PART in the world. Nothing should ever be censored. No facts should ever be crossed out or twisted around to suit the current narrative, or to appease modern sensibilities.
The only thing that should ever be censored, is censorship itself, for censorship is a blight on the freedoms and privileges of ALL humanity. We should all unite together to combat censorship, because censorship is used by those in power to keep everyone, regardless of race, in chains...
Do we not all wish to be free?
...I ultimately just want all humans to unite together against life itself.
Life is a very cruel mistress. She hurts us and punishes us without any care for who we are or what we do. No matter if we're a good person or a bad person, if we're rich or poor, she'll always crack her whip over us and make us suffer in one way or another. To some lucky ones, she's more merciful to them, and to others she's more cruel.
That is life.
That is what life does.
We, as humans, must all come to realise this, and decide to help each other out. We need to realise that, when life is being cruel to us, she's also being cruel to others. Let's not give life that satisfaction of breaking us and turning us against each other. Let's all see our fellow human suffering the way we do, and offer them our hand in understanding, love, and kindness.
That is how we defeat the evils that plague the world, and how we dispel the evil found within humanity.
We don't defeat the cruelty of life by being cruel and mean and evil to each other. We win life, by being kind and loving and caring.
Any person who is evil, should not be accepted in humanity. Anyone who revels in anger and hatred of their fellow human, who show no sign of being kind to anyone, doesn't deserve a single ounce of our love or kindness or mercy in return.
If we all acted together to reward acts of love and kindness with love and kindness in return, and if we refuse to reward acts of anger and hatred with anger and hatred in return, soon enough this world will be filled with love and kindness, and life itself will have no power over us...
Just think about that next time you feel like hurting someone - you're only hurting yourself with self-inflicted wounds. Try to heal others instead, and you'll end up healing yourself.
I'm just trying/hoping to get people thinking about things, and to question everything going on around them.
Always question everything, never ever take anything at face value, and make your own damn mind up!
