An unapologetic statement.

I took a day away (nearly), from steemit, and from the politics.

I'm a passionate person, and that includes political discourse. It does not cloud my thinking. (judgment, maybe)
Emotions can also focus the cerebral machinations, it does with me.

It also blinds me to other people not seeing what I see. (nothing new there - go see my post about wastepaper and bitcoin)

Which makes it a bit shit. Oh well.

But this doesn't change my perspectives, in the slightest.

I think past experiences makes all the difference in how clearly you can see the world today, and I've seen 'quite a bit'- in my own way.
( are there any awards/sbd prizes going around for understatements?)

Have you ever known people, who's have seen there loved ones, families - heads blown off right in front of them by the military forces, when they were just teenagers themselves ?

NO? Well I do...

Do you know anyone whose entire neighborhood was flattened by bombs overnight, killing many of their friends and some relatives, too?
NO? I do.

Do you know anyone that was raped - nearly every day- just to get food to feed her family?
NO? well I do.

How many of you live within a couple of hundred miles, from sites where millions of skulls were dug up, as testament to the success of communism, (and the genocide that comes with it?)
NO? Well, I do.

The thing is, I'm a big softy, and so I can empathize with Americans.
Because they are big softies to.
Don't get me wrong, I love the states, and the people there - they are so naturally 'nice'.
But a lack of exposure to anything real , does breed a complacency. A softness. (me included, btw).
Concepts are not the same as reality...
If was in foxhole, I'd be much happier with Russian next to me , than an American.
Why?
Does this mean I hate Americans? Hell no, I love 'em.
I also know a few Russians who've had their families destroyed - and their life has been hard.
The kind of hard that you can't teach, you just have to live it... A toughness comes from that.
All the Russians I know are hard people. Nice, but hard.
(Hence the foxhole comparison.)

In all my travels around the world, I can honestly say, Americans are possibly the nicest people I've ever met.
(yeah, I know there are wankers there to, as in all countries - but as an aggregate of).

Fortunately for 95% of Americans, they have never actually known conflict of the military and political sort.
(and neither have I...)

My 'exposure' to the shit the world has to offer coming in the guise of communism has been minimal, at most.
But my minimal exposure has been more than enough to realize what a cancer communism is, and why I am so virulent and vocal in my opposition to it.

Leftism leads to communism, eventually- no matter how well meaning and diluted it appears to be at the time.
It is the thin end of a totalitarian wedge, than can appear as either communism - or fascism - it's all the same putrid animal.

And this is why it's important to fight with all you have, now - to stop the communistic cancer spreading...

For it will, if left to it's own devices.. of that you you can be sure.

My battles are fought by fucking the left off.
Why? Because I enjoy fucking people off? No.
Because I enjoy the flak? No.
(I'm a lover not a fighter. lol)

No, but in doing this, it highlight's the mental illness that is communism, and I can illustrate the hypocrisy and intellectual dishonesty that is communism .

I'm not even trying to change the minds, or open the eyes of the indoctrinated - they have special places for that - I'm trying to let sane people see the truth, over the lies.

Sane people will see the difference, if given the opportunity to differentiate..

How many destructive political movements would never have happened, if only the little people just talked out the truth and the lies, before it got out of hand, and the herd mentality kicked in, and in doing so, then stopped people thinking clearly?

The old saying ' From an acorn into a majestic oak, grows...' holds just as true for communism, too...

Better to stand on the acorn now , than having to buy a chainsaw later...

We will never change the minds of total idiots, but we can highlight their idiocy to the good people of this world, and in doing so, it will expose them for the charlatans, and manipulators, that they really are..

The ONE weapon they cannot, ever, defend against, is...... humor....

(that's why it triggers them so much...)
