Can't You Hear the Screaming?

 

Have you ever "discovered" something...only to realize that it's been there all along - you've just not really seen it?

This is the dance I've performed with my anxiety...oh, my whole life.  

I've disregarded my intuition for the most part, because it was so easily mistaken for the anxiety that veiled every aspect of my existence.  Yeah...fun.

But in the last year, I've really applied myself to containing my anxiety.  I've learned that my intuition actually has a very different voice than anxiety does.  It comes from a different place.  I feel it in a completely different way, a different spot in my body.  It's sight...sight I couldn't indulge because my anxiety shadowed it...blocked it out.  I've experienced spurts of it...during meditation...card reading...spellwork...

But now, it's "turned on".  I have it all the time.  I can see things in ways I couldn't before.  Sense things I couldn't before.

Let me tell you something, folx.  It's not happy foresight.

I am seeing ugliness in people.  Not in faces. 

In actions.  

In thoughts.  

In expression.  

I am seeing how nonchalant society is being with the lives of many.  I am seeing how privilege is manifesting as callous action in so many - citing inconveniences as "oppression".  

Being asked to stay home is not oppression.

Being told that, as civilians, it is unnecessary to  own military grade artillery with the sole purpose of killing as many people as possible, in as short a time as possible, is not oppression.

Banning hammers/cars/knives/screwdrivers/alcohol/whatever other ignorant argument you might insert here is absolutely stupid, because these items are not designed and used specifically to kill people.  By your ridiculous logic, everything should be banned.  Anything can be used as a weapon, and I'd be hard pressed not to see you all weeping "unfair, boo" in the streets if your cars were taken away...

Shut your mouths.  

As you scream, "I didn't know we lived in a dictatorship", people in the Philippines are being shot in the street for failing to adhere to social distancing measures.  Shot and killed.  In the open street.  As directed by their government.

Our First Nations are displaced from their home communities to "save" privileged properties.  To build pipelines. They are shot with rubber bullets for peacefully protesting for their right to drinkable water.  There are communities in Canada who cannot access drinkable water.

They can't drink the water that runs through their taps.  Can you recall how much Winnipeg cries when we have a "boil water advisory" for a day or two?

Imagine life like that.  Years and years of a "boil water advisory".

Where are the rubber bullets for the fools converging in the streets to protest "staying at home"?

Think on that.

You're running your mouths (or fingers, as it were) on social media...calling out our government.  I saw one individual share a meme of Justin Trudeau photoshopped into a Nazi uniform.

Do you fools not understand that, in a dictatorship, or a fascist regime, you would be eliminated for this expression?  How brave would you be in a true dictatorship?  We're not communist...although how many of you would last in that system, either?

Capitalism has afforded you many privileges.  You can leave your house without the threat of death.  You can state your opinion on social media.  YOU CAN ACCESS SOCIAL MEDIA.

Stop drawing parallels to Stalin and Hitler.  It makes you look absolutely ignorant.  You don't need that AK-15, and you don't need a haircut, and you don't need drinks on a restaurant patio.

What's coming is not an oligarchy.  We don't have to fear our government.

We need to fear ourselves.  We need to fear what we are allowing society to become; because in times of hardship, as much as we like to push the "together we stand" message - we are selfish, and would without any thought, sacrifice anyone around us to save our own skins.  

That, my heathen loves, is the monster we need to watch for.  I can hear the screams.  I see the fall.

I feel like the Oracle at Delphi, and I'm scared.

Instead of bitching over guns and your impression of communism, I encourage you to learn to garden.  Grow your own vegetables.  If you're able to, raise your own chickens; both for eggs and for meat.  Become sufficient.  Learn as much as you can about sustaining on the land, because life is going to get fucking expensive. Learn some fucking compassion, because now, you will have a glimpse into what it's like not to have everything handed to you on silver platters.

Because the dystopia is coming.  It's not going to come with zombies or a dictatorship. 

It will come with humans being absolutely shitty to one another.

That's the history we need to remember.  The fact that we will no sooner stab our loved ones in the back, than a complete stranger.  

Ave Satanas
