The Isolated Blurt Thread XIX: Ice Cream Has No Bones

[CyranoJ]

The Illuminati was a fictional creation by Robert Anton Wilson in a novel. Anyone who thinks it's a real thing is delusional; anyone who encourages it is a con artist invested in distracting you from real politics. Same shit with Reptoid aliens and "New World Order" conspiracy: the Enemy is always some nebulous, fictional bullshit that can't sue the con artists.

When you are raised in the jungle, how can people expect you to be anything other then a animal?

Or more accurately, when you are raised in a deliberately-created desert, how can people expect you to be anything other than desperate?

Tupac spoke about the Illuminati, Katt Williams did too. And those are real niggas. I doubt they would lie. Plus I met Floyd Mayweather bodyguard once, and he was telling us how things are in Hollywood. How most people worship the devil and shit. Do you think that people sell their souls?

Figuratively or literally? I have little doubt that Hollywood hosts plenty of sell-outs, but a great deal of doubt that it hosts much in the way of actual devil-worshipers.

As for Pac, Katt, or for that matter KRS-One or Common or Lauryn Hill or any number of "Nations of Gods and Earths" entertainers: they're entertainers. It really isn't their job to talk about the profound substructure of society, and they're just as susceptible to bullshit as white entertainers are to the equally bullshit myths and con artistry of Scientology. Respect to their musical accomplishments, as politics goes I wouldn't set any store by them at all. I'm sure most of them weren't consciously "lying," any more than Tom Cruise thinks he's "lying" in presenting himself as the Jesus of Scientology, but I'm dead certain they were suckered.

That's been happening for years. Poor persons on a limited pension can't get or refuses aid. When I was young I knew such a person, though we were poor too, we'd leave a small bag of canned goods once a month on her porch.

We knew because we saw her buying cat food and she didn't have cats or strays. I was told by guardian she was likely eating it, very sad.

Which doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me because tuna fish is just as cheap and canned vegetables or canned pasta or soups are just as cheap.

Do you believe that it's possible to sell your soul? I once was in a holding cell with this crazy ass white man. And he told me if you worship the devil enough, he would come see you in your dreams. I mean it's cults and shit for a reason. As far as Pac and them, they witness the shit first hand, who are we to question them?

I don't buy very many canned things, so I'm sure you're right. It use to not be that way, the cat and dog food use to be a lot cheaper.

My feral cats like friskeys, and that is expensive but I know it's still cheaper than canned chicken.

 

[CyranoJ]

Do you believe that it's possible to sell your soul?

Only if you can be convinced to believe you've done so.

Who are we to tell Tom Cruise that he's not the Jesus of a religion come to liberate our body-thetans from the billion-year-old curse of a space alien warlord? The answer is that we're rational human beings who have a responsibility to think for ourselves, and to call obvious bullshit out for what it is.

A further advantage of fighting real conspiracies as opposed to fictional ones? You can actually defeat the real life ones. Housing discrimination is a real life phenomenon with real life political levers operating it that can be affected. The Illuminati is a fictional construct that can never be combated except by buying whatever book or album is being shilled to you; it will never be affected because the real world is not a novel written by Robert Anton Wilson.

You because you think something is bullshit,doesn't mean it is. Me personally, I don't stress about shit I don't have control of. So in turn I don't care about it. I don't give two fucks about politics, the Illuminati or the devil. To be honest with you, the only person that I know that is running for president is Trump. And that's because I see his name here. People call it ignorance, but I disagree.

Unfortunately, you've got that backwards. Of course you have control when it comes to politics. You choose to not use it.

Have do I have control? Please explain.

I can't pick who I want in office. I have to pick out of the choices I'm given. And then I have to hope that majority of the people want who I want in office.

That's like me having a choice of steak or chicken. I pick steak, but most of the people pick chicken. So therefore I'm eating chicken. That's means I really didn't have control.

Do you vote, and not just in Presidential elections, but every election?

 

[smoothg103rd]

Do you vote, and not just in Presidential elections, but every election?

Never voted. Not even for Mayor.

 

[Aglaopheme]

There in lies the problem. People feel they don't have control, don't vote and wind up not being represented.

You never told me how I have control.

 

[Aglaopheme]

Never voted. Not even for Mayor.

Are you registered to vote? Do you know who your city council person is?

 

[Aglaopheme]

You never told me how I have control.

I did. You have control by voting for a start.

 

[smoothg103rd]

Are you registered to vote? Do you know who your city council person is?

Nah, I'm not registered. Honestly, I don't want to be. I don't play politics, I'll leave that to the ones in suits.

And no. All I know is Baraka.

 

[smoothg103rd]

I did. You have control by voting for a start.

Why don't they let felons vote? I'm not one, but damn. Thier choice doesn't matter?

 

[Aglaopheme]

Okay, just don't say it because you have no control.

 

[smoothg103rd]

Okay, just don't say it because you have no control.

Let's say I did vote. The person I voted for lost. Did I still have control? Nah, I didn't. Plus my one vote isn't going to change shit.

 

[Aglaopheme]

Why don't they let felons vote? I'm not one, but damn. Thier choice doesn't matter?

I agree with you 100%. There's a large swath of people that want fewer people voting. They hope this will help them win elections v

I had a big argument about voting with my aunt. It got to the point that I almost fought her son. She talked all that shit about how blacks fought for the privilege to vote, and me not using it is a slap in the face to my ancestors. I told her what I'm telling you, I don't give a fuck about politics. Felons can't vote just tells me that my vote really doesn't matter. So why waste my time?

Let's say they won. Even if they lost, of course you had control. What if your entire neighborhood felt that way, that they had no control?

It's a very hard thing to do, I know, to get people who normally don't vote to start voting.

Good for your Aunt, because it hasn't been that long at all. Only since 1965. Not only did people fight, people died. So you almost came to blows, rather than registering to vote, and asking her opinion on who to vote for? I bet she knew who was running for city council.
