Where was I "ranting and raving"? I was making observations; how is that "ranting and raving"? Do you have something against observers?

Trump started an unprovoked war with Iran and is now killing Iranians. I am ashamed to be an American. I'm evil. I live in an evil country where a majority of its people voted for an "orange hand grenade" that exploded and is now killing other people in the world. AND THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO BUT SIT HERE AND WATCH. Now I deserve to die because I'm an American. Why did you all vote for that evil man? Why???????????

We told you not to vote for him. We told you. You didn't listen.

The Republicans are "true" Americans. That's why the Republicans basically rubber-stamped all of Trump's stupid and abominable personal decisions, because they wanted to please the American people to get re-elected instead of acting on conscience and principles. That's really what it comes down to. Many on the left warned against voting for Trump. We said it would be a disaster. The voting majority didn't pay attention because we're just stinking "socialists" and "communists". We've been protesting all these wars since the beginning. "Real" Americans called us "traitors" and "useful idiots" for protesting the wars. We tried. We did our best. Most people didn't listen.

Good idea!

And a competency test, as often as needed!

And there should be no one over 60 in the Administration or Congress or the Supreme Court -- these need to represent younger generations.

And people in the government should be dealt with in the same way any other dishonest, corrupt, cheating, abusive, and unreliable EMPLOYEE would be dealt with in any other organization!

Yeh, that's a fu<king joke. Some like to claim that even though they, as archaic, gullible, cultish idiots, are simply demonstrating ONE KIND of so-called American. My next-door neighbor behaves like a complete asshole that all of his neighbors avoid, yet he proudly proclaims he's a PROUD AMERICAN! Oh yeh? F#CK YOU for denigrating the idea of being an American! Who the Hell do these people think they are? Come up with a different name for yourselves, like: PROUD IDIOTS. That would be accurate, and you wouldn't be trying to steal a title that belongs to a lot more people than Republicans. For fu<k sake, wake the fu<k up! This country and this world are about more than you and your identity/ego!

"59 years old, no family other than my mother, and on psychiatric meds"

Yes, but you have a car, right? I'll be surrendering my tags (phone too), if i don't find work by Sept 7.

By that date, i will be a bonafide bum lying on a couch day after day after day (as i have been for the last three weeks) waiting for a cat lady to die so i can get some scraps after a bank sells a house and come across some money... maybe enough to disappear forever with. The five grand credit card debt I'm in for having my truck destroyed by a capitalist won't get paid, and a lien will be put on this house. I'd have made this months payment if i wasn't beat out of $300 two days ago by a customer... the first call I've gotten in two weeks (who, again, it would cost more to sue than what he owes, and there's no guarantee the State's judge will follow the law... as i learned six years ago. Won't make that mistake twice.)

I have now in my possession $23.87 cents not counting the change in the two broke down lemons I bought from deceptive private sellers on craigslist immediately after getting out of a prison I shouldn't have been in and going to work for an employer I would end up suing and losing to a year later.

If the cat lady kicks me out because i can't pay my half of utilities or the monthly credit card payment, i will be arrested if i remain in this county and the ball will get rolling much sooner than i thought.

I do know this, though. I absolutely can't walk off the grid without having some dental work done. Springing a cavity while on the run is one of the worst things that can happen to you. The plan would then be to commit a crime that would get me into a jail that would have to address the dental work.... then go on the run after my release. But i couldn't allow myself to be homeless for even a second in this county because it would be my third felony and I'd do about ten years. So, I'd immediately move to a county i can be legally homeless in, register a bridge as my address, commit a minor crime, go to jail, get the dental work done, get released, and THEN dissappear.

P.s. The bags of cat feces that the cat lady collects which i posted a couple years ago are still there piled in the corner of the room.

I dunno... i sent the governor and attorney general an email. A couple, in fact. Maybe the hard lesson learned in the end will be: open your fuckin' emails?

But then what... the State prosecutors spend five minutes dodging the blame ("I just work here yada yada") in the break room, it's on the news for two days, forgotten about, and back to business as usual? You mean nobody took to the streets after hearing my story?! Well, their loss I reckon.

And I'm not really a sociopath (yet). You know how i know? Because i would take pleasure in seeing the look on anyone who matters face when i explain to them how the trail of destruction and mayhem they are now staring at had very modest origins a very long time ago when...... somebody saw my penis.

That pleasure i would feel means i still care about being right, i still feel joy at proving others wrong, etc. All this shows that I'm still entirely too engaged with people, still see myself among them, as one of them. A true sociopath (of the sort i find ideal) is completely amoral and cares nothing about 'justice' or 'truth' or any of that nonsense. A true sociopath would feel as much satisfaction explaining his circumstances to and attempting to communicate with a dog as he would another human being. The distance would be that great between the ideal sociopath and others. By comparison, even Lecter was too close to others, too human, too sentimental.

The good news is that this is fading. You'll note i post less... which means I'm less excited about being right... or i should say making sure someone else knows I'm right. This is progress, and the day is coming when i will have reached the level of being permitted the thousand yard stare. You've seen it in the movies when the once good guy protagonist finally snaps after being in impossible circumstances for too long. He just stands there, silent and staring on the other side of the bars, ready to stab anyone who comes near em. You wave your hand in front of his face. Nothing. Just those dead eyes and the occasional twitch of the eyelid.

Gary, here's a cabinet meeting with the cat lady to discuss the possible consequences of the oncoming economic depression.

Intelligence gathering suggests that mastercard will place a lien on the house and lock the card down, but not take any evasive action and start hauling off furniture and such. We confidently believe that in the event of an actual emergency, one or both of her well-off sisters would help her as needed.

Ho-lee-f***. Let mastercard lock the card, but keep accruing interest on the unpaid balance so that by time the cat lady finally dies and this house is sold, the amount owed to mastercard will be so high that it totally wipes out what little is left that i might get after the bank gets theirs.

It would look something like this:

1. Guy uses credit card first time in his life to get a trans rebuild.

2. Truck is destroyed (and other things happen, etc), the guy stops working and making the minimum payments.

3. Card is locked, debt continues drawing interest, and eight years later, when the cat lady dies, the amount owed is now twenty thousand dollars or some shit.

A simple trans rebuild gone wrong. A beaten, betrayed and broken man's nest egg snatched away. All because of some white trash piece of shit capitalist or opportunistic district attorney? I should say not. You haven't gotten to the end of the story yet.

Well said. Why should the President be allowed to act like an asshole? It's like hiring an employee, and then he scares away all the customers or threatens them. Shouldn't we fire him on the spot before he ruins us any further?

You deserve this corner more than I do. Yours is the voice worthy of speaking out, not mine.

Posted: **Tue Aug 11, 2026 6:14 pm**

Well, my purpose for speaking is to liberate monsters from the shackles of their society and State, not to plead for sympathy or as an attempt to identify and solve any real problems, philosophical or otherwise. That can't be done, won't be done, so there's no point in wasting intellectual energy on anything that isn't some kind of direct encouragement of anarchy or f****** with internet assholes you don't like for the fun of it. Anarchy in writing itself, in structure, destructive and dissembling of everything and everyone. Taking the world as my property. Smashing all hierarchies of order, law, and morality. Think of me as Dan Akroyd in Ghost Busters, except I'm busting philosophical spooks, not ghosts.
