Fuck It, Before It Fucks You #72 (I love the way you lie)

Sup y’all? It’s another Friday night and I gotta write something. So let’s see what we can do! First of all let me wish all my comrades who celebrate it a happy International Workers Day! And if you don’t you can fuck right off honestly. And a Blessed Beltane to all as well. I like that those two fall on the same day.. Makes for a good gardening day, since that’s one way workers can be a little less dependent on the system. . Besides, you might as well since the ruling class got it’s way this year and cancelled the May Day march. And of course they put cops all over downtown, because somehow they can’t infect people. Must be the case since I see them standing close to each other, not even wearing masks most of the time. And then if they have to arrest someone for not propery social distancing or whateverthefuck, holy shit do they get close! Like “Can you at least buy me a drink first?” close. Like did these people inject disinfectant like the President told them to? Does that shit really work? Do they know something we don’t? And before you Trump rump kissers start I know he didn’t actually say that, I just find the idea that he did humorous.
But things aren’t all doomy and gloomy. The good news is that the military is talking about showing appreciation for “Frontline workers”, like myself, with an airshow! I am of course very grateful and touched by this gesture, but I just have a couple of questions. 1). How much is this going to cost and 2). Can we just have the money instead? I mean, some flashy aerial acrobatics and loud booming noises that are going to aggravate my PTSD is nice and all, but I don’t see it actually helping much. I mean fuck, first you steal my money then you make a fabulous display of setting it on fire and blowing it out of a tailpipe. I feel so fucking appreciated.
Anyway, so about halfway through typing this I stopped to watch The Invention of Lying over voice chat with friends. Interesting movie, funny and unexpectedly dramatic in parts. Basically the story of how religion happened. Ironically it was hard for me to suspend my disbelief though. Because the world is basically just like ours, except that everyone tells the truth all the time. But that doesn’t really make a lot of sense. Because, while I don’t want to say that civilization couldn’t have developed without the ability to lie, just that itt most likely wouldn’t look anything like what we’ve created. As the guy who wrote Sapiens pointed out, beyond a certain number of people you kind of have to create bullshit stories for them to all get behind to get them to coordinate. We certainly couldn’t have developed modern media or politics
And lastly, speaking of politics, apparently New York is cancelling it’s Presidential primary, but they’re still holding all of their other elections. Isn’t that weird? Apparently COVID spreads specifically though Presidential votes. Maybe that means they’ll have to cancel the November elections too? Maybe not this year, but they might just be gradually warming people up to the idea. People seem to be actually demanding that elections be suspended now in the interest of public safety. Which is ironic because I remember when people would shame me into voting by pointing out how people died for the right to vote. And it’s true. How many black people died for their right to vote over the last century for example? But now people actually want to shut down elections over a virus with a 98% survival rate.
I don’t know. Shit just keeps getting weirder and the puppet show just gets more blatantly obvious. And I feel like nobody notices this shit but me. But that’s probably just my own ego trying to make me feel special . So as always, all I can really say is Fuck it! Before it fucks you!
