SoCiAl OpPrEsSiOn Kurdtis social oppression. why is it, that a man is born free, but perpetually bound by chains? man is always confined to a state in which natural rights are infringed by either the infamous "system" or his peers. Authority would be respected more if it were in power for thhhe people. i know that that's what democracy is supposed to be, but democracy is not what the U.S. holds. the united states has a fucked up democracy. nepotism is as common as fried chicken and the "good ones" are murdred for greed. the people have no rights. (in theory they do) Kids especially have no rights. women, minoritiies, and men have semi equal rights. (although a white male probably has better oppurtunities than others, there are programs specifically for minorities and women, so it sort of evens out) but not kids. they are the epitome of oppression. and they lose any right they had when they enter school. but let's not get into a school rant. so, what motivation is there for you, as an american, to do anything. what can you get by going to work. can you work? can anyone do what they want to do? you may be qualified for a nice job, but can't get it because someone is better looking or a different color. you may have the best qualifications on ther earth, but no skills to get you where you want to go. there are reasons. A. your school probably did not teach you skills necessary to get a job(ie. filling out applications or making a resume) B. you are of the wrong ethnic background. america has been programmed to accept people of its own race. whether black or white, if two applicants are equally qualified, the one that is the same race as the interviewer will probably be favored. if we are not free, then why doesn't anyone say anything? our rights are a myth. your government, to whom you pay your taxes, is making you think that everything is dandy, but your neighbors are dying in wars that are not made aware of to the media or public. You can have all of your belongings confiscated by the state if "they" have "reason to believe" that you are up to something illegal. and this includes anonymous phone calls or letters. remind you of germany? military helicopters and other equipment is being used in the apprehension of people involved in domestic crimes. an act the constitution explicitly prohibits. yet nothing is said. the common people are even slightly scared of the govt. people are scared of being listened to by the wrong ears. and they have reason to. since u.s. officials can drive by your house and know everything you're talking about. phone tapping and letter opening is not uncommon. your friendly government is trying to make encryption techniques such as PGP illegal. so d/l all your encryption software you'll need now, cuz in a few years, it all may be underground. the u.s. is spending way too much money on other countries when we have a multibillion dollar debt. makes me think of the french just before their big revolution. they spent so much money funding shit in the american colonies, just to spite the english, that they ran out of money and would not tax the nobles. hmm. that's weird. the middle class holding the majority of the tax burden while the noble class pays not a cent... that's weird.... NOT!!! heheh (sorry, but wayne's world is amazing) oh well, the u.s. sucks. and i don't think it can get any better. right now, the u.s. is like a tetris game. it has been played for a century. and sometimes the players weren't qualified. so, you know what happens when you aren't very good at tetris. the bricks begin to stack up. and the "bricks" of the united states have been stacking up for a very long time. soon it will be time for the presidential elections. i doubt that any of the candidates are qualified for the job, but even if one was. even if there was a man who was smart enough to baffle the other politicians, strong enough to cut through red tape, and stupid enough to run for presidency, do you think he could make any changes? he's handed this tetris game on pause, that has blocks stacked up nearly to the top. now, he has to get through, brick by brick to get back to the bottom. to get to the roots that this country was founded on. for this is a hard task. a task that can not be accomplished in a short time. but if one could regtain the standards of equality and freedom that is guaranteed in the constitution, such a person would go down in history. but it looks to me, that oppression and forceful government will be here for a while.. unless... you know.. there were a REVOLUTION. thank you. and goodnight. -]footNOTE[- this writing mentions "he" when talking about political leaders.. we here at SwS are, for the most part, FOR equality for men and women of any race. I would just like to say that a woman has the same chance of fucking up in politics as men. if you feel that "he" should say "he/she", then pretend. i hope this hasn't been an inconvenience.
