A short while ago a friend of mine posted to me this article about two new Steam security holes found by outside sources that participated in Steam’s bounty program:

I’ll put it flatly, and with color. Fuck that wall. Fuck Nazis. Fuck White Power. Fuck Racism. Fuck anyone who’s stupid enough, or racist enough, or selfish enough, to support that bullshit. Keep that shit shutdown until the government is ran again by somewhat sensible people, trying to do sensible things to protect the American people. I’m not Republican. I’m not Democrat. I’m not Liberal. I’m an American who believes in American qualities and the right to say fuck. And fuck you for trying to put a label on me.

“Policy arguments” don’t happen because one policy is actually better. They happen because one group of people wants to get away with something. Either the other group lets them, or they don’t. There’s no argument about what’s right and moral. The argument stems from how many people agree on this or that for their benefit. The argument comes when you get a greedy rich man trying to convince the poor guy that if he votes for x law, he can keep his pennies instead of paying them in taxes, because that’s better than actually getting a well deserved minimum wage increase that comes out of rich man’s pocket.

Sure, keep your tax pennies as long as I don’t have to pay you dollars more from my ever growing massive basket of wealth. you go right ahead. Oh, and I’m going to sneak in taking money from your Social Security to pay for my debts because hey, you don’t need that money mr. poor man, and I need to pay off my massive debts from my own stupidity. So say the greedy rich.

Keep your guns so you can kill each other with them. one less person to worry about wanting my glorious money, my almighty God, in whom I trust and steal from every person I can. You know why people got upset about Obamacare? Because the second half of the plan, to raise minimum wage to $15 an hour, didn’t get implemented because of the greedy rich. How DARE those with less money than I want a better quality of life! They didn’t EARN it by taking money from the work of others! So says the greedy rich. The republicans sure did a great job of fucking things up for the majority of Americans. The only quality of life that matters to them is their own.

You know why Trump wants to build that wall? Simple. He’s afraid. He promised people who voted for him, who’ve little ethics and few morals, that he would build that wall, and they told him if he didn’t follow through he and his family would be in danger. There’s a reason why American Presidents in the past don’t make deals with terrorists and the criminally minded.

If a “fair deal” does not emerge by Feb. 15, Trump said, there could be another government shutdown or he could declare a national emergency, a move that could allow him to direct the military to build the wall without congressional consent. Such an action would likely face an immediate legal challenge.

Washington Post

In discussion today on Facebook, one guy said ”
Make your dream a reality. We are humans, that’s what we do.”

That’s not always possible. And please don’t give me any silver cloud fluffy garbage about how it is. There are things that happen in life, brought about by others or ourselves, that can completely block any pursuit or advancement toward one’s dreams. If you’re one of those who’s not experienced that, great. And you can believe that it should be that way for others, but it’s not. And all you’d do by trying to espouse that it should be for all to people who’ve not achieved their dreams is cause those people a greater personal sadness because it’s not true for them.

I’d like to add, and here’s where my “liberal” or “democratic” or “socialistic” mentality comes in, if you want to help others to achieve their dreams, and to overcome the blocks they have, that’s an extremely noble goal, which can become very personally taxing, and it adds an element of chaos that could result in the person you’re helping actually achieve their goals.

If you want to help others, you might have to step up, and take responsibility for other people, those you want to help. But never mention to them that they can do it. They’ve been told that many times before,and they couldn’t on their own. And, to be realistic, no one achieves success on their own to begin with. They only distort the reality to aggrandize themselves in their own ego.

I wrote the below in response to this video –

Star Wars isn’t dead. lol. What’s happened is that some people don’t like the direction some of the movies went in. When I was young, I watched each movie of the original 3 ( 4 5 and 6 just to be clear) well over 200 times each. I used to be able to say each line of those movies from all the characters right along with them.

One cannot critique a movie without having personally seen it. So, to say you’ve boycotted it while you’ve seen it is counter intelligent. You’ve not boycotted anything. You’re bitching because the movie or movies didn’t go your way. Don’t confuse those words. I’m not supporting the story or characters of the new movies by saying it. I hope you’re intelligent enough to discern the difference. If you rage at me for typing that, then I guess not. And, you missed my point.

I saw the original movies (4 5 and 6) in the theater. They were amazing to see during my childhood, and I suggest them to anyone raising children. And this is where my point comes in. Star Wars wasn’t intended as an adult movie franchise. George Lucas himself says that. Try looking at the new movies in that light. Look at how a child might see those characters you’ve criticized, and you might see something completely different than your adult eyes will allow.

The old skool Star Wars fans have all grown up. Watching these movies as a grown up is very different than during childhood. Children don’t have expectations as adults do. Children don’t have awareness of adult political arguments, or the political climate going on at the time a movie was made. Children don’t understand that the United States of America is having a Morality and Ethics War, nor should they. But, these paint how adults look at movies.

I’ve seen arguments about what a strong woman should be related to the Star Wars series. This argument belongs in political / moral / ethical discussion (it’s more a discussion that should exist in the realm of politics, ethics, morality and psychology), but emotionally driven people can’t help but spew their garbage all over the place, even attempting to relate it to children’s movies, because they don’t have the knowledge to address these issues in a formal setting, with people who do.

I’ve got to say this. The only one who can say what a strong woman should be is woman. No man can define what a strong woman should be, unless he’s quoting from or taking observations from a strong woman he knows, or knew. Men who bash on depictions of strong women put themselves into a weak position to begin with.

Many adults go to see these movies, wanting an adult experience of the Star Wars Universe. But, those just don’t exist, at least not yet. I’ve yet to see a Star Wars movie receive an R rating. Of the 10 currently released Star Wars movies, 5 have a PG rating, while the other 5 hold PG-13 ratings. To me, the target of these movies, based on the ratings, shows they’re for children and young teenagers.

Spoiler Alert here (Don’t read this paragraph if you’ve not seen and want to see The Last Jedi). As example, to show how the movie caters to the teenage rebellion mentality, I’ll bring to mind how Poe Dameron rebels against Vice Admiral Holdo. He knows better than any old mother type figure could possibly know, right? I’ll also bring to mind also the anger issue that Kylo Ren (Ben Solo) deals with, which is very similar to what new teenagers go through when experiencing the increasing strength of emotion that happens on the way to adulthood.

Maybe it’s time disenfranchised fans, those disenchanted by the new Star Wars movies, understand that the movies might not have been made for them, but for children and young teens according to the ratings and George Lucas’ original vision for Star Wars, as entertainment for kids. May the Force be with You.

So, somehow I ended up today at this:

Lets do what you’re doing @StevenCrowder, but with what you support – What is Democratic Capitalism? Saying “I have the right to make as much money as I want with as little government interference as I can talk everybody else into accepting through votes, lack of knowledge, and the general financial depression that causes people to sit in their chairs and do nothing.” It’s saying “I don’t want to share my money with anyone else, even though I’ve got 90% of all the money. I don’t give a damn about the lives of other people as long as they don’t try to interfere with how much money I’m allowed to keep for myself. I certainly don’t give a damn about their health. I don’t want to pay for healthcare, and I don’t want to pay for their schooling, and I don’t give a damn about the future beyond my own lifestyle and my family.

The worst thing in the world for people like this is what happened in the past, the Great Depression, when money had absolutely no value. How did that happen? We the people stopped buying the top 90%’s products. We the People stopped buying their bullshit, we the People went on, living as we were, poor as hell, hunting for our food, etc. What did the rich do back then? Many of them killed themselves because we the People destroyed the value of their paper.

Democratic Capitalism is not what the founding fathers intended for America when they first presented the Declaration of Independence, then constituted the Articles of Confederation, and later the Constitution of the United States. Did you know the Constitution was revised in 1992? That means it can be revised again, and changed, or completely re-written. 56 People signed the Declaration of Independence. It took 56 people to create a new system of government and country.

The Declaration didn’t say the unalienable Rights are “…the pursuit of Life, the pursuit of Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness,” No. The Declaration of Independence said specifically:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

This falls on deaf ears here toward StevenCrowder. This is more a rallying call to those who stumble across this as I did, who’re sick of the disturbed, ignorant, and egoistic prattle that spews from the greedy mouths of those who’ve lost sight of the fact that no one accomplishes anything by themselves, and being as such it’s in the best interest of all to take care of each other to the best of our abilities.

You don’t get a job on your own, or by yourself. People built that car you’re driving to the interview. People came up with safety laws that you must go by when driving to the interview. People created the gas you put in your car to get there. People selected you to interview. A person or People interviewed you.

The rich, like Trump, didn’t get rich on their own. Their parents and grandparents, in his case, sold something that many people wanted, healthy for the people or not. They didn’t care, often skirting the boundaries of what’s moral and legal to sell to other people, preying on the weaknesses of man. Grow the fuck up and learn what real responsibility is. It’s not just for yourself.

The obvious statement is that Trump doesn’t give a damn about the country as a whole, and shouldn’t be President. It’s sad that if I say “anti-social” in relation to Trump, many people think that’s a good thing because the only thing that comes to mind in a political sense is “Socialism” of the past. They ignore the reality of the psychological definition entirely, which means “to be against the welfare and success of others; to seek to sabotage the welfare of others; to not consider others’ needs.”

The definition of Anti-Social in Politics goes against the definition of Anti_social in mental health. Chew on that.

Bernie Sanders on Democratic Socialism:

Explanation from MSNBC –

I don’t usually post these kind of thoughts here.

I have experienced many physical pains. But no pain I’ve felt hurts as much as the pain of loneliness. No, I don’t mean loneliness of not hanging out with friends. No friend can fill that hole. I’m talking about the pain of separation from the person you need to hug.

Not want to hug, but need to hug. Your soul cries quietly in the rain until you can get that heartfelt connected embrace. It’s far more than two bodies embracing. It’s your complete being embracing. Only one person can fill that emptiness.

The person to which you say “I love you” and it’s like breathing. It’s like when you hug you can breath again, and anything before that is like gasping for air, but not being able to get enough air to breathe, no matter how hard you try.
