WORK ETHIC:
Whether it be fanatical psychopathic death cult nonsense, or just a normal, altruistic person working really hard to achieve something, I think pretty much all of us would agree that hard work is a desirable trait. Hard work is hard, though. Psychologically it’s the hardest.
After all the trials and tribulations of the day have taken their toll, who really has the time to turn off the television and, instead of spreading your ass cheeks to the inevitability of someone’s else’s decree, take action to, in whatever small way, fight back against the darkness? Oh wait a second, a bunch of people have the energy to do that.
It’s kind of sad to listen to my elders say ‘what do you think you can hope to accomplish?’ ‘Why learn about any of that stuff? It’s a waste of time.’ So many people from the generation that got us into this insane mess are the ones telling the ones working to get us out of it to just give up. It’s kind of hilarious in a dark way. They threw credit at you and what did you do? You bought car clubs, and ab machines, and watched MASH, and whatever the fuck. Totally clueless. Thank god some of the kids figured out the internet cause it was like ‘Oh, wait a second… yep, you can’t actually just go through life watching television, hoping to work 40 years at the same job and not have their be repercussions. Shit.’
So here’s a tip to the dinosaurs who have this implicit infant-like trust in the government/media, and get abnormally defensive/uncomfortable when someone mentions 9/11, or other topics that seek to break the cocoon that by some miracle hasn’t been broken yet: just sit back and watch the show. Seriously, get out of the way. You probably do have the time to do the reading you should have been doing all your life right now - it’s not that arduous - but since you feel you can’t fit it in between reality shows and figuring out your Ipad and renewed sex life, just leave us alone and let us work. Don’t continue pumping energy into 9/11 was muslims, or that’s not chemtrails up there, or any of that shit. If you want to be so lazy as to simply trust some authority figure then trust me.
The new standard for work ethic isn’t your grandfather’s elbow grease ‘be a man’ variety, it’s the ‘actually think, and be a human’ variety.
