Why is it so cynical?

[sweetheart]

With the breakdown of the social fabric in to which we are all woven,
it is not the "dear leader", or the GOP that is so evident. It is
rather the implicit flippancy that comes out of the political
conversations that they influence.

It isn't discussion anymore, nor any sort of coalition of goodwill,
but rather cynical hatred, dressed up as respectibility. In this sense
the republicans have poisoned the water supply, not just of their
enemies, but their own children.

No sane creature poisons its own society unless it is so enveloped in
self-hatred that they want the society destroyed. I really believe it
has come to this, that the root motives behind the pukes are the total
destruction of all society, of all social goodwill and of any ability
to reach out to your neighbor and offer unconditional community.

It seems almost conscious, as if they are all lurking terrorists too
cowardly to hyjak airplanes, and rather seek to destroy America in the
dark. And this terrorism seems veiled in this flippant cynicsm that
denies our common cause, our collective presence on this planet for
a facile charade of lies. What is it about our culture that allows this
hatred to be elevated, without opposition, to the basis of government?

Is it just from the corporate media, seeking perversely to reduce
and destroy anything but free market social darwinism. Is that it?
Is it from apocalyptic cold warriors who feel cheated that it did
not end in a ball of flame?

3. symptoms of a decline

There is more evidence, certainly, of this institutional cynicism,
from the drugs war to criminalize poverty, to the debasement of a
presidential candidate with lies, and they all seem symptoms of this
deeper cynical hatred... and not causative.

Maybe they see the society as an outgrowth of themselves, and with self
loathing, hate the mirror image. Is it then a giant social suicide by
sick sociopaths who don't have the self effacing nature to realize that
it IS suicide they are on about.

Rather they seem like a cantankerous child running about the classroom
screaming DEMANDING someone put them down, like a sniper holed up in
the top of a texas baradur, waiting for someone to destroy the ring.

And all the horses men could not put humpty together again.

5. negative, it's more the case clearly that...

your wordy, superfluous goobledygook is by proxy 1,000's of miles & approaching 6 ~ 13yrs far too late common, pro-ative good & so untimely rend here & now contemporary gratuitous this your disjointed futile rant that imo

6. Ok, so you're cynical

It is not futile.
Sorry, it was poorly crafted by your standards,
given your rich command of the language.
There is no 1000 miles proxy to the
impact of the BFEE and its agents.
HOwever there is a need to diagnose
its methods and expose them, woven
in to the propaganda it exports.
The cynicsm is common, to the point
where it is a collective conclusion
that the only purpose of the entire
american government is to break
people to make them cheap labour.

2. What it's come to is this....

It is, in the most unfortunate sense, from all of the above.

I had a friend who I would never turn against and thought we were through the worst, than he and her friend proceeded to tell me Sean Hannity was right. We had regained America's reputation and restored freedom.

I was disgusted so much so that, I instantly spun around later when someone came in claiming the dinosaurs were not real and that God never allowed the dinosaurs a space on our planet.

That was it, and became the last proverbial straw. These republicans and democrats in name do not deserve to be part of this once great free country. They deserve to be somewhere else, well catering and feeding to their hatred and bigotry against those who don't see their view.

4. mirror sunglasses

And far beyond the esoteric political, people don't take off their
sunglasses anymore... why bother... a mirror is better for adjusting
one's hair, and to see another person is dehumanizing.

Meeting another face to face, is to admit the cynicism, to recognize
the fallability of human nature and its humour and joy... but no,
the sunglasses culture is disengaged behind giant cappucinos, sucking
on caffeine and sugar to replace engagement.

Perhaps we should all start wearing darkened motor cycle helmets as a
social commentary, and heck, it protects the head more, so that
the psychosis can complete the transformation of the butterfly in to
the rotten dead bug.

7. the meme of distrust

has it that even to suggest it is itself cynical and must be founded in
some corruption.

8. Not as much self-hatred as greed, the desire for control, and what happens

WHEN they get the control.
