Better things
I have a friend that is openly a Marxist, but we haven’t delved into the details of his particular flavour of Marxism, because everyone’s is different. I think that’s because Marx is more of a critical analyst than a person wishing for power for himself. I intend to pencil in the day my friend educates… Continue reading

What have we already been through?
I got talking with my pal Dave at the weekend, he’s often a source for ideas for my writing by providing a secondary and often contrary perspective to my own sometimes skewed and biased opinions. Everyone that thinks and writes must realise that they themselves do not hold all the answers to all the questions,… Continue reading

Everybody loves you when you’re dead.
The phenomenon is well known, that we should only say positive things about those that have passed, and that to tell truths after the death is unacceptable. The reason for this is that the person no longer exists to defend themselves against criticism. For normal people in the world this holds merit, but for those… Continue reading

I am not one of “them”
There may come a time in the life of a thinker, and I think I am one of those, the life examined, introspection coupled with curiosity and all that jazz, where there is a realisation that the thoughts and conclusions we have are not isolated, unique, nor original. I spend a lot of time listening,… Continue reading

The Manosphere
I asked my partner Em randomly if I should join the manosphere? The reason I did this was to get her reaction, which I knew I could feed off. Sometimes when people agree on something, and we (Em and I) agree strongly on women’s rights and the toxicity of modern male behaviour regarding it, you… Continue reading

It’s him or us
This guy may be trying to get all us inconsequential people killed. I personally fear our lives, anyone’s lives, everyone’s lives. We are clearly a sacrifice he is willing and happy to make, but who gave him this right to affect me and the world? Some of the American people elected him, not the rest… Continue reading

Community my ass
We hold a quaint notion regarding our neighbourhoods, that they have community, community spirit, neighbours that look out for each other and protect each other’s interests. You say hello to these guys, wish them a good day, maybe when they are away you might put their bins out. We have a regard for our neighbours… Continue reading

Protection racket
For those that value privacy over safety I have to ask, what have you got to hide? What I have to hide is… The things you would use against me if you knew me so well you could predict my reactions to your actions. To measure is to improve, that is a true statement, but… Continue reading

The day the TV turns you off.
I fear social media just as you do, I see it as a force for possible good that will of course be used by the powerful to cement their power if they are able. And if it cannot be used by them they will act to curb it by creating a non-statistics based fear, a… Continue reading

Delegitimise me
To tackle any issue one must first not delegitimise the position of those persons who caused the alleged problem. All issues are “people” issues, premises on a belief, a position taken by them. Protest is the expression of a disagreement that can find no other method of expression. The people who express their disagreement through… Continue reading
