Apocalypse November 2023
Astrology for Businessmen
You all have given up on it, the dream, I think? So I had better carry on. Better the lunatic you know — the poor victim with the better turn of phrase. What do I not want to do the least? I have to stop myself and go, Think. Engage your brain. Passionating, not just performing. It’s lonely up here in the VIP area. We’ve gone through so much insanity but now his life is normality he’s just some guy. Grr why can’t I… Stop seeing yourself as a bad neurotypical person. Livestock haulier. Dopamine machine. Male aggregation of grind. Capacity isn’t, need keeps rising. A patient cured is a customer lost. Stepping back over the barrier. Pizzled. Lashed by winter storms. You okay? You really okay? Our culture is to bat away the first rhetorical, I’m fine! Memories that we’re not thinking of right now but that we can recall. The full wonder of simply being alive. Deconstructing everything too much nah? That’s mad enough. I’m fully aware how mad that is. But it happened, and it felt fantastic.
What do you do? Much against your own will, since necessity lies more mightily upon you. If you want a bonus, you have to try and scrape it. Making Squid Game reality TV show posed problem of how to shoot players. Casual cruelty that teachers are noticing more and more in the younger generation — internet addiction has flattened everyone’s sense of humanity. Sissies and weaklings. Um. Watch your tone. Imagine how a distant parent would naturally produce a clingy child, and vice versa. It’s pretty logical, it isn’t really complicated. The pissiness is essential to your enjoyment of this thing. Do you have any gaps in your employment history? I can see myself in a lot of these memes. I wanna fuck you so hard. Do you want women to say this to you? Then keep watching ’cause Skip. Nonsense. What is all this trash these days? Modern mush. Standards slip. You’re not supposed to like this. You’re not supposed to like the attention and the praise. You’re not gonna be a teenager forever, you better be careful or you’re gonna get pregnant, your life’s gonna be over. And we’re doing our thing as we scramble with multiple variations in an effort to come to a closer proximity to the king, to kill, the objective from the first move to the last.
First pack of dudes. People running at each other with pointed implements and horses getting hit by cannonballs. As Aesop said, the tyrant always has a pretext for his tyranny. An underlying current looking for a reason. Opportunistic in the killing, festering paranoia of kill-or-be-killed. You have to be a true psychopath to support this. I agree. Where are your calls for Hamas to release the hostages and surrender? Do you denounce Israel’s murder of children? Defeat that’s good it‘ll make the victory even sweeter. Israel to have security responsibility for Gaza when fighting ends, says Netanyahu. Terrorist. Freedom fighter, when death is equated with life under the oppression of occupation. Human rights not something to be earned. Not hard working, not conditional. All people. Do they have reciprocity? If not, why not? Steal and move on. Policies set, actioned and the ripples of them felt as inevitable consequences a hundred years in the future. Sir Ronald Stores, the British military governor of Jerusalem, said we’re trying to create a little loyal Jewish Ulster in a sea of potentially hostile Arabism. It was always borrowed time. Regular land, its consequences. Where will the Israeli Jews go? What about peaceful coexisting? Look at October 7th to see how that won’t work…
It is disingenuous to imply that event was the beginning, of anything. Oil and natural gas resources in the occupied Palestinian territory could generate hundreds of billions of dollars for development. Petrostates bet the planet, betting on Success. Religion is so tied to identity, but is then so tied to conquest. About security and about profit. These ties of kin and commerce. Anxiety mounted at a time when there was an acute sense of imperial overstretch. President Macron goes out ahead of the US and the UK in calling for an immediate ceasefire. That’s how you save life. Evacuate the war zones. They will come back later to a better life without Hamas. They were not waiting for a corridor. IDF is forcing them out of their homes so Israel can annex the land. We are essentially dealing with a policy of vengeance from the Netanyahu government. When he says that on one side there is the people of light and on the other the people of darkness, we can see the kind of spiral we are getting into. Every child, every woman killed, that’s more terrorists. Therefore, Israel’s objective, what Israel achieves, is exactly the opposite of what they wish. All the wars that have been going on for the past twenty years are wars that begin and do not end. These are frozen conflicts (1).
Where have all the poppies gone? No sellers at stations amid fears of attack. Lest we forget… A kick in the bollocks. Braverman will use this as a told-you-so moment but we all know she has caused this. Seems you forgot to mention ya boy Tommy Robinson & co are planning to kick off on Armistice Day. Could any hint be given to the leading journals to refrain from rousing the war spirit here? Armistice is also meant to be about — never again. Why vote when you have nothing to vote for? All along the line we want something, and we have nothing to give. Banksters. Overexplainers. Far right victories in Argentina, the Netherlands. Socialist nationalism is on the rise in Germany. Carrot and stick. Getting growth up. James Cleverly. Home Sec. Will stop the boats. No critical thinking just rhetoric. Cunts are a parody of themselves. See how time has horribly warped these things that you remember. Consider that the last ice age was only 4.5 degrees celsius cooler than the 20th century norm. I really fear that is the way the wind is blowing, wealth gap and brown waters for the many, clean chrome bubbles that money can buy the elite, growing civil strife and general unease, faltering, unsteady. The only certainty of the things we’re waiting for is the end of the path. So we can yet still enjoy the good and beautiful things along the way but the sense of a grand collective, overall mission is lost too late now to be redeemed.
If you assume that the moral improvement of bigots is more important than protecting the people they target, valuing dispassionate intellectualism above all else can cause problems, especially where topics of social justice are concerned, because it can lead you to this kind of toxic centrism that asks, Why are marginalised people so unwilling to have calm philosophical debates about whether they should have rights? Is it really hysteria to react with strong emotions when your basic inclusion in society is up for debate? It all feels very pointless and derivative. There are no partial responses or other subtleties. There’s this tendency to sanitise history and to imagine that progress was smooth and bloodless, that consensus evolved organically, when it just didn’t. And then people get the impression that current movements are somehow more militant than successful past movements, when they just aren’t (2). All these woes shall serve for sweet discourses in our times to come. Hold your judgement and we’ll see, won’t we. We’ll see. The fairies aren’t really there, you’re just walking into a pond and drowning yourself.
