What Grinds Your Gears?

OOf, I know that feeling with the cracked tooth :sob:

When you want to do something, but everyone calls you to do a billion of things :wagh:

Thank you. I should be going to the dentist once the whole quarantine thing's over.

My thoughts exactly.




Another thing that grinds my gears is how people who act like they care and appreciate you, retract and are silent don't stick up for you when injustice happens. Everything I have given to people and I am treated like a pain in the ass and a thumbtack in someone's foot just like another thing that will pass.

This has happened outside my home. It has happened in my family. It has happened with friendships with other people. It's happening now at my home where I used to find peace and feel protected - safe.

As of now I hate God for all of this. He's shown me that kindness, gentleness, understanding, and genuine care are null in our existence. I'm sickened by people who act like they care with words and no actions. I can't keep living like this.
 
United States in general. COVID panedmic response, cops killing and getting away with it, and a clown of a president getting assmad over Twitter. 2020, just bring in the aliens.
 
The inaction and double standard of the american government. At least after the rioting they finally arrested the bastard responsible. And Donald Trump fucking instigating and inciting violence by saying the worst things and the worst times.

Right?

United States of America has a history of committed violent acts against citizens, including minorities since its conception. Yet as soon the hornet's nest starts fighting back, all the sudden the advocate for "peace" is on full force and/or attempt to gaslight protestors by turning small fraction of people looting. Nah, screw that. I applaud for the protestors, and burning down the police precinct...? Truly stunning. It'll make a nice album cover.

Breathtaking.

Oh, and it grinds my gears when people tried to create "what if..." as if it justified placing a knee on somebody's neck.
 
They didn't learn from the Ferguson protests at all did they. It shouldn't take a full-on riot and the burning of a precinct for a cop to be apprehended for blatant abuse of power. But here we are!

Course, it's hard to expect a complicated system like the Justice System to NOT be broken by design, since it's fundamentally problematic on every level of the hierarchy. The police exhibit the worst of it since their actions are personally able to target individuals directly for any reason they can phrase as being done under guise of upholding the law. I get it's impossible to guarantee every person that comes into that sort of power will remain impartial with their judgements and never waver in their moral fiber, but it speaks plenty that despite implementations of body cameras and the like, we still have to pressure the system into punishing its own members for practicing needless brutality. 

From pressuring minorities into giving false confessions under mere circumstantial evidence to outright police brutality, it's a problem that spans literal generations. People tend to think that the Civil Rights movement was a long time ago, but it really wasn't-- its peak ended 50ish years ago. WW2 ENDED 75 years ago, and we still must deal with residual waves of Neonazis popping up all around that you simply won't realize are there until they feel bold enough to paint the targets on their backs.

The fight for equal human rights for all won't end as long as the system continues to break down and spark conflict. We also have to stay aware of any attempts to distract from these problems by making different groups turn on each other since that's what is preferred. Power tends to corrupt, but absolute power corrupts absolutely if it's allowed to happen.

Spoilered for the long rant, I tend not to speak at lengths about such a nuanced issue, but it needs to get off my chest. I wish things were better and that we lived in an ideal world where nobody has to worry about these sorts of things. I'm probably going to log off my SMs for the weekend since it's a lot for me to take in.
 
Lately I have noticed certain people b____ing about me taking a bath twice a day and they would rather I be "like them" in spite of the whole COVID-19 situation. Another thing that grinds my gears is how people instantly become robotic sheep and how they're acting and not thinking beyond what they're told.

I was browsing through the Facebook group I attend when I came across the sick post - the original post I reported to Socialist Facebook - by some sick fuck who harms animals such as cats.
 
Being told that I need to "more" stuff, and I do, only for them to turn around and do the thing they were harping me on about. Literally just say what you need and I'l take care of it. Don't add other bullshit on it.
