Self-Loathing

More news. And it’s bad.

We have the Senate report on torture.

What can we expect now?

Nothing.

What happened after the Wall Street banks blew up the economy?

Nothing.

What happened after Sandy Hook?

Nothing.

What happened after the NSA got caught spying on innocent citizens?

Nothing.

Just look around at what is happening at the same time as this report.

The House of Representatives, based on fabrications and unfathomably simple-minded propaganda, just passed HR 758. It declares Russia the source of evil in the world and deems it an enemy. It is effectively a declaration of war.

What did we learn from Vietnam?

Nothing.

What did we learn from the gross deceptions leading to Iraq?

Nothing.

America is now a domestic abuser, a man who beats his wife to a bloody pulp, then comes crying and pleading for understanding and forgiveness __ refer to the Senate report __ and finally tops it all off by beating his wife again to within a breath of delivering her lifeless corpse to the morgue.

When self-criticism __ which can be constructive __ becomes self-loathing, it becomes a pathological addiction, a sadomasochistic descent into the writhing depths of agony.

I’ve never understood self-loathing.

But I’ve never understood cockfighting either.

I just know it when I see it.

Tonight on your favorite TV station: Hand wringing. Despair. Teeth clenching. Nausea. Self-inflicted pain.

Lots and lots of pain.

Don’t miss it!
