Have you figured it out? The world I mean. Maybe you haven’t. If so, sorry for the spoiler.
You see the world we were taught about, the dreams we were given, the instruction, the rules….
All of it is bullshit.
The world we were told about never existed.
Not for most of us.
We are told that anything is possible if we are willing to work hard.
That is a total lie.
We are all born into different situations with different advantages and disadvantages.
The issue is that some are born with practically every advantage and some with practically every disadvantage.
That’s hardly fair.
But see, that’s the point. Life isn’t fair. Not by any stretch of the imagination.
Want to succeed in the US today?
No problem!
Just be born rich, white, and male.
You’ll be on your way!
(Otherwise, you might want to temper your life expectations.)
So let’s assume you’ve succeeded in being born rich, male, and white.
Now all you have to do is work hard and you’ll make it!
You’ll need to be smart, honest, and loyal.
Bullshit.
None of that shit is important.
Why? Politics.
Not the GOP and Democrat political bullshit (not yet, important, but we’ll get to that.)
Office Politics.
All you need to do is suck up to the right person or persons.
Hyperbole? Perhaps, but not by much.
I don’t know if everyone comes to the same realization that I did: that the reality of which I was taught, by parents, teachers, professors, practically every authority figure actually never existed.
You know what I’m talking about. Study hard, work hard, do your best and the world will take care of you.
Bullshit.
This country is made for the rich, by the rich. They control everything, including you.
And good luck if you don’t like it.
The GOP has one goal: To promote a two-class system. That system consists of the ruling class; rich, white, and mostly male. And the wage-slave race; eternally poor.
The Democrats have one goal: To oppose whatever the GOP promotes, at least on the surface. Their true goal is simply to stay in power.
Have a nice day.
