how life changed...

 Many people have claimed that life changed in 2020. 

Here is my opinion…

                  In 2020 we were served a warning by nature. A warning that was also an opportunity. It said, ‘slow down, find some balance, spend time doing what matters, be with friends and family, spend time with your pets.’ By 2021 and 2022 it felt like we had started to form a better version of life, a more balanced existence, less commuting, less time sitting at a desk staring at a screen, more flexibility to visit family or to go to the doctor or to do some chores during breaks rather than have to do them all in the nighttime, exhausted after a commute home from work. 

                  2024 rolled around and the alpha males were getting restless… they didn’t want to be locked up at home with their wives, they didn’t want people to have the freedom and flexibility that was becoming a norm, they didn’t want to lose control and power, they wanted everyone back… they wanted to exert their power over those they considered inferior to themselves. They started to hate the shift towards concerns for mental health and work/life balance. And, at the end of 2024, their dreams came true, cruelty and a lack of care suddenly became the example. Everything shifted, from the top, into a state of authoritarian dominance… ‘do what we say or get out.’ DEI programs disappeared. Work/life balance discussions were gone. Mental health concerns vanished. Pets were being abandoned because people were told to go back to the office. People started to crack, to really crack. A better life was suddenly taken away from them for no reason other than the concerns of those who want power over others. 

                  So, in 2026, as war burns, prices rise daily, global conflict erupts on a daily basis due to the polarization of society, a society that has simply been pushed too far, we find ourselves completely burned out knowing that a better life is possible but that we are forced to abandon it to pay for our homes and to feed our families. We’ve returned to the slave state… but, we’ve also abandoned all the human concerns that we had spent years building. We all feel alone… women think they are suffering the most, men think they are suffering the most, each individual demographic group considers themselves to be suffering the most. And everything is ‘woke’ unless it is commuting and ‘working hard’. Congratulations, you are now a cog in the machine, and when you wear out you will be thrown away and replaced. Have a nice day.

it's not someone else's fault.

  I see many articles about Britain wanting to rejoin the European Union. I am delighted about this. But people claim they were misled, and that is why they voted to leave. I see people in the US regretting their vote for Donald Trump, and they say they never knew it would be like this. All I can say is that, as a British citizen, I voted to remain in Europe and, later, becoming a US citizen, I voted against Trump. In both cases, it was blatantly obvious to me what the outcome would be. The truth is that Brexit and Trump votes result from the same thing… fear and hatred. It is complex and nuanced, but the main fear and hatred was that of immigrants and immigration, in both cases.                     It is not easy, I understand. In a sense, I was fortunate… when I was eight years old my parents left the UK and moved to South Africa, we were immigrants. Years later I returned to the UK and was ...

their envy

  They drive home from their 16-hour shift in the office and pull into the carpark… then they sit in their cars, engine running, lights on… they sit and sit. What are they doing? It becomes clear, they simply don’t want to go home. They are afraid of the boss all day in the office, and they are afraid all night of the lack of privacy they have in their home. So, that period in the car park after parking their car is the only period of freedom that they have in their day.                     Couples always want single people to date and ‘find a partner’. That is because they want single people to be as miserable as they are. They see the happiness and contentment of a single person and their envy makes them want to destroy it.

big foot beats Jesus

  It’s difficult to stop laughing these days. Well, we alternate between crying and laughing. First, I see that Elon Musk’s Grok has proved that Big Foot exists, then I see a video about ‘six proofs that Jesus never existed.’ My main thought is… why do people even care? My Theory is that there was probably a radical progressive gay guy who was preaching love and forgiveness, then the Republicans of the time put him to death in the streets for challenging their wealth and stone age beliefs. Of course, it is obvious to any scholar of the twenty first century that the bible is a metaphorical work of fiction… but it is certain that, like any work of modern fiction, the characters and events are based on real events. Someone who preaches freedom of love, freedom of religion, forgiveness, tolerance, acceptance… maybe they even supported the idea of windmills… is certain to be killed by the guys who think they are the toughest and the strongest, and the only ones worthy of having choices....
