Abuse cancels everything

If you accept abuse then there is nothing that I want to hear from you at all. When there is abuse it is game over.

Things that are elective, things that people opt to do, and which constitute harming others, that is abuse. It may be argued that there are inevitable consequences of things considered essential, which have detrimental effects. That is also a problem. But what I am writing about is what, far beyond necessity, is elected to be done. Is opted for. Is chosen, even though the knowledge exists that such activity causes violation of others.

It astounds me to see how profoundly sick American society is. What sort of freedom, what sort of rights does it think are worth pursuing, if not the most fundamental right of physical, physiological, mental, and spiritual integrity? Once these are violated, everything else is off. Everything else is a sideshow. A distraction. Or perhaps just evil.

The more one hears about freedom, about rights, about opportunity, about “dreams” in the media, the more extremely sick and demented America shows itself to be. Imagine a person with a huge gash in their abdomen, spewing out blood, their intestines spilling out, rejoicing because they just had a botox injection.

There are people who just naturally “get it”. And there are many, far far too many – I think they are deliberately bred – who don’t give a fuck. But the people who get it, as long as they are sufficiently insulated, don’t care. They don’t want to get involved in some uncool, messy shit that involves standing for things. So I guess when everything goes up in smoke, when all the systems collapse and fail, when the foul aggro abusive fucks run rampant and violate, steal, rape, and kill, then that will just be the way it will have to have been.

So be it.
