Fatwa Arbuckle: Misanthropologist

Thuffering Thuccotath…it’th Thurthday, Wheelthens!

Hope Elena and Mac -- and the rest o’ youse -- are well this morning

Wonder what the government of Seattle -- or Washington State -- plans to do about their anarcho-LARPers…especially given the residents and business owners of the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” are effectively hostages?

Too bad there aren’t any LE agencies I’ve got confidence in anymore; OTOH, it may be a bit early for snipers. (And based on past performance they’d shoot the wrong people.)

Criminy…we’re not even halfway through the year.

Thoughts and prayers for Elena’s recovery.

I’m in a funk. After being more or less locked down for more or less three months now, and watching the absolute insanity engulfing the country over the death of Martyr Floyd (I wonder if the next baby name craze will be “Floyd”? In fact, I’m surprised that BLM hasn’t made one of its demands that all white people from here on out must name their newborns either “George” or “Floyd” as penance), I feel overwhelmed, confused, and depressed. Back in January, we took stock of our future and thought we were doing just fine -- all that hard work and planning were going to pay off. Now, all bets are off and America is heading in a direction that is clearly un-American.

What to do, what to do…

Sure Happy It’s Thursday, Gerbil Nation!
Good morning, Fatwa, Sven, and Mac!

Mac -- thanks for the update on Little Mouse! I’m glad she’s doing well. I’m also glad that you were able to spend the night with her. I’m sure that was a comfort for her, as well.

I saw over at AoSHQ yesterday that Seattle’s Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) has already devolved into a dictatorship with a warlord as it’s head. It hasn’t even been 24 hours since the cops were kicked out. These are the same people who want to replace the cops with “community systems”. That worked out real well in their first experiment, didn’t it?

I took today off. Not so much being really sick, but I’m furious to the point of shaking watching what is going on in the country. Coupled with another day of pretending to work doing meaningless shit that no one cares about -- I just couldn’t do it. Couldn’t stare at a computer screen for another 8 fucking hours.

Did some chores around the house -- threw out a bunch of stuff that I’ll probably regret later, but so it goes.

How do you fight back against this shit? I don’t know.

One bit of clarity came from Robinson Jeffer’s poem, The Answer. https://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-answer-2/

I’m choosing the least ugly faction and that’s anyone against the drivel that “White Silence is Violence”, that “systemic racism” is a given, that I should kneel, bow, apologize or otherwise show my contrition to anyone. The least ugly faction isn’t the Republicans, but right now it is Trump and anyone else that is a true Conservative and believes in America’s founding principles.

Tomorrow will be better.
