I call them “FLeepers.”
‘Fleapers’ is even more apropos
They must be the ones that hang around dead dogs.
Freedom of Choice - DEVO
A victim of collision on the open sea
Nobody ever said, life was free
Sink, swim, go down with the ship
But use your freedom of choice
[Pre-Hook]
I’ll say it again, in the land of the free
Use your freedom of choice
Freedom of choice
[Hook]
In ancient Rome
There was a poem
About a dog
Who found two bones
He peeked at one
He licked the other
He went in circles
Then he dropped dead
[Post-hook]
Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom of choice
[Verse 2]
Then if you got it, you don’t want it
Seems to be a rule of thumb
Don’t be tricked by what you see
You got two ways to go
[Pre-Hook]
[Post-hook]
[Hook]
[Outro, repeatedly]
Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom from choice
Is what you want
Yeesh. No wonder we're in this mess.
LOL
I had friends who got out of communist Hungary during the Cold War. They had friends who had immigrated to the West, and went right back to communist Hungary. Freedom includes the freedom to fail, and for people who have spent their entire lives being guaranteed employment, the notion of being out of work and unable to provide for themselves was so terrifying they went back to communism.
Powerful reply.
But having next to nothing like the communist countries then coming to the US and seeing that even the poorest have more than enough and then going back to communism. The fear in their minds would have to be near insanity.
In the early 70s my sister worked with a woman who had escaped Poland. The woman would go to garage sales on weekends and buy used shoes to send back to family in Poland. That is how little they had.
Freedom requires individual responsibility and exposes individual weaknesses and failings.
The narrative is on its set course no matter what PDJT is doing, or who is worshipping or criticizing. That’s really all I’m saying here.
It’s bad news for the Establishment. It’s time has expired. Explains why its minions have become increasingly unhinged and violent.
It’ll all work out in the end.
Nothing is ever on a ‘set course no matter what...’ outside of perhaps the Second Coming.
I will soundly, nay violently reject any form of predetermination, ‘fate’, or ‘destiny’.
Nothing, for good nor ill, is decided until it has happened.
There you have it. America (esp. the demonized American male) is about to be vindicated "bigly", so buy American flags and download all the patriotic songs before the rush takes down the internet. :)
They can ‘demonize’ this chunk of toxic masculinity all they want, I got more :-)
WE don’t need ‘vindication’, we need to keep putting boot to ass. I don’t need a flag or patriotic music to tell me, or anyone else, I love my country and its Constitution :-)
Regards!
Authoritarianism is ALWAYS bad. People who suggest we, or anyone, has too much freedom need 9 grams to the back of the skull.
No, that was Theodore Adorno, another leftist liar.
Because success is the most difficult adversity to survive. People who have reached the ‘self-actualization’ level of Maslow’s hierarchy have withdrawals from not being stressed, so they make stupid decisions to restore the stress and feed their addiction.
Bull friggin’ sh@t.
No one is afraid of freedom. They are petrified on the limits placed on it. And terrified of what it will lead to.
That’s why I left, and why many expats leave the USA.
Told one this morning that he wins and trump is only out to screw us and is the worst President ever....hope he gets some satisfaction....
I'm with Trump because he is fighting harder than any of us, against evil hordes of every sort and doing his damnedest to fulfill his promises.
MAGA!!!
FReedom is hard work and requires responsible action and investing of oneself...far too many choose slavery because it’s easier.
