In our time.

By Niklas S. Osterman

America.

We have lived through 4 years of hell if you’re a moderate and 4 years of bliss if you’re a Trump voter.

It is troublesome that we spend much time and emotional energy on the symptoms of systemic failure in America rather than coming together and start to analyze why we are were we in fact are?

Extreme inequality.

Extreme wealth

Extreme conceit.

Extreme racism

Extreme views

Extreme income inequality

Extreme self deception

Extreme greed

Extreme lack of empathy

Extreme egotism

Extreme disparitity

Extreme lack of education

Extreme lack of investment in the American people

Extreme power hunger

Extreme hyperbole

Extreme blindness

Extreme capitalism

Extreme Zero Sum system

You either make it, or you don’t

If you do, great. Now fuck everybody else.

Money. Money.

So, the word democracy. republic is the system of government that allows a country to be democratic

America is a Constitutional Federal Representative Republic

Constitutional comes from that our way of governing is based in a constitution.

I can’t recall how many times I have heard cries of; this is not democratic.

For 4 years.

For the record. I am a moderate independent Bernie Supporter

I never have and never will support Trump.

Never.

Now that we got that detail out of the way-let’s move on to what really matters and why the assault on the people’s house most likely will lead to a stronger bipartisan congress and presidency.

Let’s talk about democracy and what this word means.

I know that when I say democracy some of you will instantly think of for example-freedom of speech.

Equality and unity. One people working together towards a better future. A future where we are more concerned about the end than the means.

Democracy is a delicate, finicky, vulnerable thing.

It is also something our forefathers fought and died for.

You are not right all the time. You share. You play nice with the other children in the sand box. You respect others. You seek to make foes friends. You show humility and mindfulness about who has the right to what.

You understand that a two party state is critically dependent on bipartisanship.

You respect yourself.

It’s time to make a u-turn.

No matter what amount of self resistance you have to claw your way through in order to look at the deep systemic and institutional dysfunction in America today.

People will not end democracy. Democracy only exist if enough people support it, thus, that statement is not true.

What in the other hand erodes a democracy is taxation without return on investment.

When we pay taxes we invest in ourself, in our community and in our nation.

This is the whole idea of democracy-all of us chip in and all of us receive a return on our investment.

Trillions of dollars that should be the return on our investment ends up in the industrial military complex. Trillions. Enough money to put every American through university. Or pay for healthcare for all. Decent companies run by decent people that understands that they would not exist if it weren’t for the American worker.

No human is a deserted island. We are a part of a gigantic machinery. We control this machinery because we are in charge.

That is democracy.

You can do as you wish in a democracy, within decency and reason.

Factually America is an extremely Christian nation.

That’s all well and fine.

The pickle is that America is also the most unchristian nation.

People do not practice what they preach. Do you?

Seriously, I’m asking in all modesty, when your in bed getting ready to go to sleep, alone with your thoughts and feelings?

I might be wrong but I think you’re potential to be a strong caring teacher in your life.

Give back. Volunteer more. Be more inclusive and less exclusive.

We are humans. There’s a fucking word for how we should behave ourselves; humanly.

Archaic meaning of humanly is: with human feeling and kindness.

I don’t think those fleeting thoughts flirting around your mind says; fuck it all. Fuck you all. I’m going to fucking kill everybody. I hate EVERYBODY AND EVERYTHING.

Only You know how much love you have inside. Only you can feel the thrill of a mutual smile.

Only you know your internal anxiety. Only you know you.

Remember all you know. All the little things that make up the unique you.

Accept imperfections in yourself. Be patient with yourself. Be kind to yourself. Learn about your body. Investigate. Ask questions. Offer help and response. We are made to love.

Remember that yes you matter. Yes you are special. Now get over it and join the rest if us. Until we have achieved gender equality, equality between ethnicity’s, free healthcare, free schools up until university, parental leave, inexpensive healthcare, less financial inequality, less of our investment (taxes) used for surveillance, to control other countries by investing in more nukes.

Then and only maybe then will I consider addressing you by your fantasy pronoun such as, them, they, it, cat you selfish fuck.

In this case I couldn’t give a rats ass for whatever the fuck you want to be addressed as. You and all the other fucking freaks that can’t find a home among us without forcing us to participate in this mockery of what basic human rights are.

Your identity crisis is something every single fucking human that has ever lived have gone through.

All of us end up in a spot wondering who we are, what we are doing with our short life, why am I going to die? Why did my son die? Why did my father die?

Why am I not happy? Am I gay? Am I bi? Am I trans? Who am I and what is my role.

And, please god I never want to die. Please answer just once, once is all I’m asking, will I live forever in heaven even though I voted for trump and called black people nigger?

Even if I chose the golden calf idol before you?

But you never do answer. Do you god?

Jesus was no Christian. Jesus was Jesus. A man, one single man. With a message of light in a dark world. With a message of love in a world full of hate.

I feel sad about how organized religion has gotten of course. Jesus said that god is not a house. God is not a church. God is in everything and everyone. We are God, we and every other species.

Everything you can imagine, all your thoughts, everything you do and feel.

The entirety you you. The total sum of your existence is how you leave it. What you leave behind, the memory of you will affect your children, grandkids, etc etc.

Trumpism and extremism is here to stay.

The myth around Trump suits the current narrative about him. He is the savior for Christians

Betrayal and treason. You Donald J Trump have spit in the face of those who have waited for their savior , the archangel lucifer, and boy are you good! You have corrupted and invaded the minds of Americans that have lost their livelihood since China was accepted in to the world trade organization.

The corrosive process started before 2000 as companies also started to become more driven by what they perceived to be the better path forward; the company has given the stock market the reigns because every decision corporate will make is the one that best integrates in corporate growth through future looking statements and mass firings. DuPont lost 100 k in a few short years into the second millennium and…you know what? We know better. And if you value trump more than the lives and wellbeing of your loved ones you probably were part of the mob either violating and desecrating the house that was built to house all of our local representatives. These are the people we can turn to with certain grivences, support and assistance. It is also a vibrant job that requires a lot of learning. To understand how to build networks, join commissions, campaign every Saturday caucus style town hall meeting with moderate Republican and Democratic decent folk.

By God, sure it’s a cliche that we are better than this? Are we? There’s at least the same fury and distrust with the Democratic Party. They lost their way in globalism, the computer paradigm shift even greater than the first and second industrial revolution together.

Never before in human known history have our complete existence been uprooted in a similar manners as what has been willingly imposed on us in the last 20-30 years.

Slowly and benign at first the internet only suggested the invention of a world were everything is possible and you can be exactly who you truly are.

Those days truly were beautiful and helps such promise. The open source community, the whole concept that the internet is our personal limitless playground were we can set free the dark underbelly of our sexuality,integrity and humanity. You have started to chose internet porn, before the real thing. Do any of us feel clean when we investigate our, shall we say, more intimate aspects of our desires and wants. With the internet we can unleash the beast we are ashamed of. We have to critically assess ourselves if we are ever going to live in peace.

We are not living in dark cold caves anymore.
