… man goes into back yard, digs through pile of junk, comes
up with sturdy wooden crate. Man takes
this crate out to the street and places it, upside down, on the edge of his
property line, steps up on to it, and speaks thusly:
“All Right! I Have
Had Enough! I have heard enough of your
lying, enough of your exaggerating, enough of your Point-The-Finger
distractions to know when I’m being scammed!
Enough Already!”
“It’s time to let go.
Your weasel has popped.
And I’m talking to both of you, on the right and on the left. This presidential election in America, just
like the one in Brazil, is the same old stuff.
The poor people have the votes, and the rich people have the money. Oh, yeah, and there’s a lot more poor people.
So all of you, with the possible exception of Bernie and
Elizabeth, are trying to disguise the true nature of the conflict, which is why
all the violent reactions don’t make sense at first. It’s Science and Truth against Lies and
Religion, and for some it will look like the second American Civil War. For others it will be the end times, unless
they get disappointed, and the Anti-Christ fails to appear.
So for the rest of the Silly Season, you can stop all the
bullshit, please. When you root in the
sty to find shit to pick up and throw at them, you get some on you, along with
all the shit they toss in reply. After a
while you both look like nothing but pigs, happy in shit. Then you realize that most of the shit is
coming from people who are paid to produce that shit, and it’s all being
broadcast by networks that make more money on shit than they do on real news!
This is not just a request, here’s what I’m going to
actually do to you: I’m going to tell
Facebook, every time I see a picture of what’s-his/her-face, to block
everything from that source. No clicking
on the click bait, no forwarding, no comments, no reply. I’m just gonna use Facebook to talk to my
friends. I don’t wanna hear any more of
your shit. Trolls, stay under the
bridge.
So if one of your analysts comes to you one day and says, “We’re
seeing a disturbing trend where more and more people are tuning us out, and we’re
not sure why.”, tell them it started right here. Call it the Enough Already Movement.”
Man steps down off crate, picks it up and carries it into
the back yard. This time, he uses it to
store stuff, and gets organized. Then he goes back to work. :-{)}
