      You have the chance to be the underpaid actor made for entertaining the world, if not then you get the alley beside the showhouse with a dimly lit streetlight and a fogged up window looking in on the stage

      Koudos to you, kikivon! Excellent, truthful, accurate description in so few thoughtful words 😢. I'm not saying that sarcastically at all. It is sadly the reality that we've been handed. Chin up & always remember that we ALL are Americans first. We can accomplish anything together even with respectful disagreements, actually helping the process along.

In my time we took whatever we had, and school was warm, and there was food, a playground, and sometimes fun stuff. More than we got at home, growing up poor. And we learned respect. Or else.

      It's the main principle of hierarchy that the top takes from the bottom and that the top controls the bottom. The kings and "the club" rule over the slaves. We are in a system of hierarchy and not in a system of freedom, although the manipulated masses believe they are. Call them citizens or slaves, doesn't make a difference, it's same.

    People are discomforted by me when they try to lure me into a political debate, when they realize that I'm immune of whatever stance they are rooted in because my values, and belief system lie far outside the staged dichotomy of the two-party system.

      You and me both.
      The amount of dates I’ve pissed off by simply saying I don’t believe in politics, I can’t even keep count at this point.
      Last week at soccer this guy couldn’t accept that I don’t believe in politics, my reasoning being that it’s a distraction from the fact that corporations run the show.
      His argument was that everything was political in one way or another and that even not believing in politics is political. Seriously.
      Our debate drew the attention of a couple more guys who played with us, and soon enough they got angry that I don’t vote or believe in politics.
      I left when my head started to hurt. People have lost the plot entirely.

      @@Men_of_Tomorrow You don't care about politics but you do care about corporations? You do realize that corporations use politics to "Run the show" as you put it right?
      I get not being drawn into the old Right vs Left debate. But saying you "Don't believe in politics" not only doesn't make sense. It makes you sound ignorant since you just proudly declared how you care about what corporations are doing.
      Your head was hurting because people where asking you to think critically and critique your own views and beliefs. That happens to people who don't really believe anything and are told what to think.

      No, fuck em. Local businesses are just baby corporations ran by capitalists who weren't lucky enough to own a monopoly.
      Local businesses steal from local workers. Big businesses steal from everyone. Maybe the problem isn't the size of the damn business or where it's fuckin located, but the fact that Business itself is about how badly can you screw people for a quick buck.
