#327 - #352 (25)

I am really exhausted. Watched the Witche yesterday and the best part of the story which was the weird timeline has complete disappeared. So now it is all plod plod plod... it was very dull. Where previously it was funny and irreverent, there was this taking the self to seriously creeping in. 

We did watch the Plum and Pigeon show which was very very funny. I am constantly amazed by how good these guys are. Honestly we are so lucky to have them teaching our children. From the anti-burlesque to the acrobatics, it was all good. Sigh.

I miss going out. I really do. Of course after all the covid tests etc... we are now back in theatres where people are no social distancing although there is the entire charade of people having to put on masks when they enter. It is all nonsense. 

Then they close the borders but before they do so, they take in a massive influx of people jamming train stations and airports to escape before everyone else.

Between that there is corrupting and sleaze. Of course it was too much to expect them to let the entire cake slide off the plate the way it had been going. In order to justify the entire mess, they had to overreact to a moderately serious virus. And so we are in lockdown again because the vaccines don't work like they were supposed to do. They don't, full stop. Anyone who says they are doing what they were meant to do is deluding themselves. Apparently the hospitals are full of unvaccinated people. Well are they? Are they full of unvaccinated people? I can understand the initial response which was - well I don't, but I will pretend to do so anyway - but now, again? The vaccines have not worked and instead of funding the NHS better which is what they should have done, recognising the importance of a good health care system, their response is to once more drive people into the arms of privatised health care - people who can afford it will pay for treatment and people who can't well, they can just go to the wall, right? 

The thing is someone like Boris Johnson - he didn't make his own fortune - he inherited it. It is repulsive. And his father did the same thing. All they have done is pay people to look after their money for them. It is these people, the perpetuists which we have governing us now. And it is ok for me, comfortable and happy - but the working class. I don't understand them... why are they not storming the barricades? Why put up with shit? Why? And policemen and nurses and soldiers... they come from this class too - how come they are not doing more to bring down the entire rotten core? It's mad. 

Instead you have the right-wing making hay, as usual. I can see it now. The perpetuists - the drunk on power, the Ian Paisleys of the world. The self delusionists... the perpetuists and the self-delusionists. All in league with each other. This is literally how the world ends then.

Well this cycle at least. The Hindus are right about the yurgas - each age must come to an apex, a zenith and then it will collapse in on itself. This is the nature of human beings. We still despite everything cannot seem to maintain the balance. Equanimity still eludes us.

We cannot be content with enough and we end up lionising, lauding the monomanics of the world. So here we are Christmas 2021. They say people are tired of it. Yesterday I heard on BBC Radio these women their their voices in their shoulders and their little Hitler attitudes which just fucked me off to no end. They had moved past the irrational egged on by the media and gone into full beast mode. People who have mental health issues, like possibly the men and women who would go into raptures during the Middle Ages and end up policing people, thinking they have some mainline to God - or in this case science. This is what has been completely unscientific about the entire show - more than anything else when the science instead of enabling rational discussion ends up repeating dogma, i.e. the science it is when you have to pack up and go home.

And right at the start I said this as well - the science, the science... no other time have governments ever acted on the science. Why have they decided to act on the science now? They didn't do it for pollution, for social deprivation, for education, for economics - why act on the science now? That is what makes the entire thing so completely revolting to me. It is a side show, a distraction from the real issue and the real issue is the over consumption and income inequality. That is the real issue. The perpetuists and the delusionists once again in league with each other.
