The Neo’s and the C’s

Because it’s the American dream. We are in America, aren’t we? I’m not sure, either. See, remember what they used to say? The American dream? A house for everyone, two cars in the garage, a spouse, kids, etc., except for me. That’s what America was but not what it is now and no, I’m not one of those, “Make America Great Again,” bastards. What I’m saying is the opposite of that. What im saying is everyone should be allowed to own a house, which becomes a home, to get married, have, . . .

You’re not understanding, you’re thinking this is America or the America they teach you about in the schools before they were taken away by the NEOs. “It’s duck season. It’s rabbit season,”. No, it’s neo season. Eliminate the bastards while Earth still exists. Remember what Carlin said? “Think about how stupid the average person is and then realize half the people are stupider than that.” Wonder what Carlin would say now? Ask a medium, right?

See, they tell half truths, morons believe them, then they tell quarter truths. They never tell the whole truth until the courts force them to, until they take over the courts. Then, totalitarianism. Then what? But who are they you ask and who are you I ask and who cares? According to Adam’s and/ir LT, “The Earth will be gone in a matter of seconds”. But this isn’t about the GOP, it’s about the Neos, but in looking at them in juxtaposition, there’s not much difference anymore.

You’re confused? Well, as was said in The Matrix, “The question is ‘When are we?’” And the answer is, we think is in the 3700’s ACE/AD. See, radicals on both sides had WWIII, but the Fuckheads won, oh, I mean the Neos. See, there were different levels of Conservative and Liberal before the Fuckup. The Fuckuo before World War III. You’re lost and I’m no history teacher. The point is there were different degrees of conservatism and liberalism. Democrats who believed in owning guns, Republicans who believed in GLBT+ rights, but, crescending, this became less common. Everyone became polarized and stubborn. This led to WWIII, indirectly.

But, today (no one keeps track of seconds, minutes, etc. anymore), there’s no middle ground. You register as a Neo or a Communist. God Bless America. Needs all the blessings it can get. But, the Neos get all the stuff everyone wants like the house .., already explained and we get that as Communist, too, but in a time capsule. Communists; they’re called the C’s now, see no advantage to investing in new things. Like why have a cellphone for music when we can have LP players? Why have cellphones when we can use rotary phones? In fact, why invest in electricity or gas at all when we can live like the Amish? Just kidding, but I wouldn’t be surprised.

But wouldn’t it be nice? Imagine a driveway that curves, surrounded by grass on fresh soil. Imagine we had a fence, so no one else could come in, “peace and quiet”. Ahh. Imagine a door with a lock that only I and my family had keys to and I didn’t have a curfew. No lock down after 9 pm. We could socialize at bars and say whatever I wanted without the fear of execution. We could have modern technologies without fear of retribution. Forget retribution, without fear of anything.

And the Neos could wake up and get “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.” And everyone could have the chance to achieve the archaic “American Dream”. Right, “And they all lived happily ever after”. Bullshit. Think the beginning of “Shrek”. “Like that’s ever going to happen. Yeah, right. What a load of. . .”

But there isn’t what the boy in “The Lorax” was looking for and I don’t mean trees; I mean hope. Think about the parable of the dog in the outdoor dog house. The family (what family? I don’t know) buys a dog, but they don’t want fur on the furniture or to clean up if it has an accident, so they buy a doghouse with a wooden peg in the ground with a sledgehammer and they bring the dog fresh food and water. And, of course, dogs are pack animals and don’t want to be left alone, so he/she whines and moans begging for attention and the owners look outside and see the dog has plenty of food and water and ignores them until in about 3 weeks, the dog is quiet and the owners think, Thank God, as last this stupid dog gets that the dog cage is it’s home. But, that’s not what’s happening in the dog’s mind. What’s happening is the dog has lost all hope of being accepted in the pact and is in deep distress.” That’s where I am.

See, maybe I’m brainwashed the other way, the same way the Neos say everyone needs to believe their truth, the C’s do the same thing, but in the opposite direction. Somewhere in the middle is bliss, maybe?

But maybe there is no middle. Maybe it’s too late to unbrainwash both sides. “You can’t turn a pickle back into a cucumber” and there are still no time machines. And still no hope. So, guess this is a flat story. “What’s the point of that. It just makes me feel like shit” said by Mom. What if there is no point? What if we’re just caught in the endless cycle of birth and death? But, my teachers told me “what-ifs are stupid, because what if the world blows up tomorrow?” Who would care? Douglas Adams, maybe.

Three generations from now, nobody but the anthropologists and geologists will remember you. “It is a sobering thought, for instance, that when Mozart was my age, he had been dead for three years,” said Tom Lehrer. But “That Was the Year that Was” and this is the year that is: somewhere in the 3700’s. Forget about my house, just get me out of Earth.
