and the optimist side

Yeah, there is an optimism in my world that I don’t share very often. Like this weekend upcoming, spending time with ‘the GANG’ celebrating our New Year post new years. it not likely any of the ‘shit’ of the world will be mentioned or even touched on. More like we will be working on toys, making plans for our springsummerfall get-togethers and talking kayaks and kayaking in general. or kamping, or FOOD. we all like to eat, (and why I work so hard to maintain my narrow ass self.)

BUT, there is a lot more to be optimistic about than just my immediate local thngs. Sarah points them out here how we really aren’t as bad off as it seems. Rough? yes! in the ditches? not just yet.

and its easy to get distracted by the LENSES* we wear through our days. but when you take a look at the bigger picture, long term, we are rapidly hitting that decentralized state we were in before Kings started declaring solid borders, where language more deteremined what country you were in more than if you were on this or that side of some river/ridge/moutain,,,,

A lot of places have crazy authorities, but not the whole world. we’re not enslaved by the Tech Lords (and what a pitiful lot those turned out to be) and the agencies trying to subjugate us are not all powerful, more along the lines of a bunch of venal chuckleheads. Annoying, with no morals and insane, but not all powerful. It could be worse.

I look around, I see people still doing the same old same old. It costs more now than it did in 2019 and sometimes you have to get something a little different because what you want isn’t available anylonger for whatever reason,,, BUT we keep moving forward in our lives. And I think that eats at the heart of those that wish to rule more than we realize. That they want us subjected is beyond doubt, that they went full bore before their time and flat stole not one but TWO (s)election cycles to hold on to that power shows, at least to me, just how little they actually hold. They have access to the purse strings, but they do not have control over the engine that powers that purse. They keep trying to kill that engine, thinking they can control the world if only we were all dependent on them, not realizing that THEY are the ones dependent on US: without US, they wouldn’t be able to do anything at all.

Honestly, why we tolerate these asshats at all astounds me, but that we do is without question: they are there in DC mucking the whole of this nation.

but for how much longer? Thats the real question in my little world. Will we see the turn around begin in my lifetime, what little remains of it? Or will my grans be the fighters and rebuilders?

I’m a rational optimist with a pessimistic front. I think we ARE seeing the turn around beginning, right now, and spurred by the fact that they jumped the shark and pulled off thier masks in 2020. People are more aware now of how screwy the whole system had become, reeking more of hyena than Eagle. And I think there is an unspoken agreement that the more we ignore them, the more desperate they become and the harder they push that accelerator driving this monstrosity over the cliff. that we no longer have brakes or are on the rails no longer matters. It becomes more “how much longer before we can start the rebuild?”

Me thinks sooner than later. But there are no gaurantees, and will be no silver parachutes. And no one is coming to save us. We are it!!! Prepare accordingly.

* called our Enemedia and other outlets we scroll through daily, but not often outside of those things. more is going on than just what we are told even by those that are on ‘our side’.
