Gonna be a quick post on something that's been crashing itself against my skull,
trying desperately to get out.
Democracy. Specifically so-called Western-style democracy,
which also happens to be practised in Singapore.
Here's the thing. Fascism is really hard, you guys.
Maintaining a really hardcore police state tends to drain profits.
Manipulation is so much better.
It's the lubrication that allows for a 'soft dictatorship',
or something like, I don't fucking know, a 'semi-totalitarian state'.
Democracy works only with an informed populace.
You don't need to know everything, but you need to have and regularly practice critical thinking skills.
- and I've just again been interrupted by my wife who wants help with the baby.
Nothing wrong with that usually, unless it happens all goddamn day,
preventing me from doing meaningful work.
It's hard looking after a hyperactive baby,
but expecting me to contribute so much time to helping out
will prevent me from working.
And guess what? No work = no money.
She understands that on some level.
Some level. But it seems like she gets so fucking emotional,
that logic goes out the window.
Things that could've been settled in a mere hours take fucking weeks.
It's like all she sees is how hard her part is in looking after the baby,
despite the help she gets from my mom and siblings.
Nope.
I need to help at all motherfucking hours of the motherfucking day.
Even with my messed up body,
occasional migraine attacks.
And what's even better?
She usually doesn't even fucking acknowledge the help I do put in.
Just today I spent half of the day looking after our baby,
despite not having enough sleep,
body aches all over
(from having to sleep outside, because she asked me to due to my snoring waking up the baby),
and a fucking headache.
When she finally had the time to look after the baby,
she chastised me for essentially not helping out at all,
by making it seem like she does all the work.
And this happens daily.
While I'm trying to get the business off the ground and look for a job at the same time.
Motherfucker, I can't even finish this goddamn short article without being interrupted twice.
Anyway, I digress.
Best to end this early.
Democracy doesn't work with a dumbed down, uninformed population.
And voting for the lesser evil?
That's still fucking immoral.
I mean, if person A kills two of your kids, and person B kills only one,
would you vote for person B?
This is relevant especially in the US and the endless wars that they wage on other countries around the world.
Well enough of that.
