Mencken wrote in 1926 = "The great masses of men, though theoretically free, are seen to submit supinely to oppression and exploitation of a hundred abhorrent sorts. Have they no means of resistance? Obviously they have. The worst tyrant, even under democratic plutocracy, has but one throat to slit. The moment the majority decided to overthrow him he would be overthrown. But the majority lacks the resolution; it cannot imagine taking the risks."
You know, it's for this reason that over the past couple years, I've seriously looked into moving to more liberal countries. The problem is, a lot of other countries require you to speak a different language, plus it would probably be expensive. Really though, there's been too many times where I've just been sad, sad beyond words about the sort of things that happen in our country.
I'm surprised that I didn't feel more distraught when I saw the news about the pro lgbt discrimination bill in Mississippi and North Carolina. I think at this point I'm just trying to say no, I'm not going to let it bother me. It gives me great, great pain and sorrow though, when I look at the sad state of our country. I'm just trying to avoid becoming depressed and losing my peace of mind.
I'm just trying to avoid that, enough is enough. I'm tired of the pain of it all, to hell with politics. It's not my job to fight against those deplorable scum bags, I didn't ask for any of this. In fact, I never even asked to be born, yet I have to push against the complete pointlessness of life every single day. Sometimes it's difficult to even find the motivation to do anything, really. It's hard to see the point.
But it's fine. I just wish that those horrible, horrible people would realize what they're actually doing, and how it hurts so many people. I can only imagine how many lgbt have committed suicide because of this... actually I better not think about that.
The reason people end up in chains is because everyone is afraid to resist. All oppressive ideas start with one person.
