The Media – written by Jordan Holmes

The Media – written by Jordan Holmes

Of course the media isn’t “The Media”. No one believes that individual dum dum talking heads are controlling the fuckin news bro nor does anyone believe that you or anyone you know is in charge of The Media. 

But you are The Media. You are a cell in the body that is “The Media”. And you are fuckin’ up, bruh!

Speak The Language – written by Jordan Holmes

Speak The Language – written by Jordan Holmes

I am not talking to you! I am talking to you! Do you understand what points I am making? Then I am talking to you! Do you not understand what I’m saying? Then I am not speaking your language. If you would like to understand me, you can learn my language, or I can speak to you in yours.

It is not the first time in America’s history that we are faced with multiple, fractious parties within the supposed two party system. America is a large place, with many factions, factions within factions, that have little to do with conspiracy and everything to do with region. Who is fighting right now? People who share a culture with people who share a culture. People who share a lifestyle with people who share a lifestyle. People are fighting with people who speak a completely different language. 

Imagine having a conversation of nuance and depth with someone who hasn’t read the books that taught you about nuance and depth. I have had those conversations, I have had many of those conversations. I have had them with a breadth of people, about a breadth of topics. 

In most situations, it’s difficult to divorce one’s sense of overall morality from the present from the gut. The present is now and the part of our brain wired to react immediately is not wired to react with depth or nuance. People who are overexposed, people who’s defenses are down because they are emotionally overloaded, these are the people that you cannot talk to with a well thought out essay about the possibilities of generational change. What do they hear from you? They haven’t read this line in this paragraph. It’s too far down.

FOOD – written by Jordan Holmes

FOOD – written by Jordan Holmes

Do you think you’re smart? Do you think you’re strong? Do you believe yourself to possess some attribute to a greater degree than others? 

I bet you eat food! I bet if your body is spectacular, you eat specific foods, foods that are available to you. You are an animal! That needs to eat to grow, to succeed, to learn. These are attributes you cannot possess if you are starving to death

Are you pissed off that other people are stupid? Switch diets with them! Give them everything you eat and eat only what they eat! What do you think, you possess some sort of innate genius that can never be replicated by another human being?

The Hoard is the Threat – written by Jordan Holmes

The Hoard is the Threat – written by Jordan Holmes

You don’t want too much shit. You aren’t trying to hoard money because you want money. Money is just a way to assuage fear. You don’t want a shit ton of money in your bank account because you think having a shit ton of money makes you awesome, 99% of people don’t want that. You are not just not alone, that’s damn near everyone

There are a small number of people who hoard money and they do that because they are psychologically damaged people. They are no different from someone who pisses in bottles and protects themselves with towers of newspapers. They deserve our pity. They are hurt

What we do is elevate them because their hoard is a means to assuage our fear. Elon Musk doesn’t receive 50 billion dollars because he needs it. He gets it because people feel safe giving it to him. If he can hoard safety, then he can teach me how to do it! And then I will be safe. 

They can’t teach you shit! They are damaged. They do not want the same things you do! They want to surround themselves with piles of newspapers so you can’t hurt them. These people are insane

Anyone who wants too much shit is insane.

This is Not Your Land – written by Jordan Holmes

This is not our land. This is not our home. America does not exist. America is blood and fire and genocide. America is murdering swaths of people across thousands of miles to take their shit. That is what America was built on. It was not built on freedom. It was built on slavery. It wasn’t built to free its people from the shackles of monarchy, it was built to enslave people with the shackles of oligarchy.
