Where's the Audience When They All Turn Mean

Not everyone turned mean and the trick is finding them.  The regulars here aren't the mean, selfish savages we see elsewhere online but the people on social networks aren't real so there's no really no telling if they live as stupidly as they present themselves online.  The question with many them isn't whether they graduated from university but rather whether they even graduated from high school.  A tiny few are curious about new things but the others are just animated lumps of granite.

(Ed:  what do you mean they're not real??)

Almost all of them hide behind masks and most viewers need an insulin shot after exposure.  Second Life has a much higher level of personal commitment and intimacy.

(Ed:  maybe they have jobs and can't risk exposure)

What kind of Crisco brain uses a social network from the workplace unless it's a supremely shitty and boring job so it's not worth protecting anyway.  That pitch makes little or no sense here at the Rockhouse.

Your best protection in Facebook is to use a fake name and then throw the account if they ever bust you for it.  The probability of that turning up in a workplace is low unless you brilliantly tell them.


The hippies and freaks aren't dead but there sure aren't too many left.  If you're not going with the killing, you have no play in America, ok, so I have no play in America.  The continued exaltation of this violent hellhole is unusual but it seems to amuse them when nothing much else gets their attention.

Cat is a definite freak and she was in Berlin when the Wall came down.  No-one needs to tell her about Walls since she saw the worst one in the world and she saw it fall to the ground.

No-one needs to tell her about Trump's brown shirts since PEGIDA is right in front of her doing exactly the same thing but, for now, they're less heavily-armed.

No-one needs to tell her about Obama's provocations of Russia since she's right next to Czechoslovakia and will be one of the first to die when the provocations come to combat.  The absurdity is Americans think they're safe.


I'm not that smart so why are smart people so rare.  Cadillac Man isn't a super genius either but he's always curious about things and that's a huge part of our talks.  It's the same with Mystery Lady as she's never stopped being curious.  Yevette is poring laboriously over ponderous tomes because she 'wants to know what is going on' and I keep telling her the really crooked stuff isn't written but she's determined to find truth somewhere.  Lotho is always building something and, assuming full use of his appendages, it's a safe bet he's building something now.

A large part of what will get me steamed isn't so much any research I've done but rather Yevette will tell me about this or that she has read and I'll be pissed because of the thought, man, look at what you fuckin' people did to her.  She's scared and a Texas girl will never admit that but it comes when you believe the crap on the Internet.  There's so much hideously-violent spew out there and no need to quote anything as you know already it's there.  Two words:  Alex Jones.


You all know how it goes and maybe then it gets theoretical for why it's this way but that hasn't served any purpose toward fixing it.  Really the only thing any of us have ever had is an idea.  Mostly people don't listen to them but that varies over time and most are scared and closed just now but that doesn't stop ideas in you, does it.

Seems to me it always comes back to the same thing:  nur in Stille sind wir besiegt, only in silence are we defeated.

We aren't fighting anyone but they are and that's a bit of a problem.  Be quiet, accept, behave, etc, etc.  None of us are particularly good at those things or we wouldn't be reading this now.  Still the same answer comes:  nur in Stille sind wir besiegt.
