WARNING – CREATIVE WRITING AHEAD
“Speak the truth” – Jordan Peterson.
That’s what I’m doing right here. Exercising my right to speak freely as what I currently see as truth.
I may look stupid to you. I may write stupid stuff sometimes. I may not be a great artist, or a great writer, or a great photographer, or that great at anything. I may not be in the same tribe as you, or idolize the same gods. I may not be the cookie cutter blog you’d prefer me to be. I may not be as intelligent as you.
In fact I’m pretty average and ordinary by all accounts, nothing special. I just do my best, and hope for the best, most of the time.
I have done my research on passive-aggression. I know what your motives are and what your narrative is. I know that you deserve my pity more than my respect. I know the counter measures and moves – I have been doing this for a while, 57000 comments on this blog at last count, so I’m not exactly short-in-the-tooth by now.
So please kindly stop leaving passive-aggressive comments, or trying passive-aggressive schemes on me – You’re wasting your time, and making yourself look pathetic in the process.
It’s transparent to me by now – someone broke the rules of fight club and showed me “the matrix”, might have even been me that did it.
The silver lining – I never end up short of something to blog about, so thanks for that at least. Also makes me laugh, so double whammy.
But – Why oh why, would you prefer to argue when we could have been friends – I’m perplexed at the lengths people will go spread their misery onto others – it beggars belief, the lengths their ego will go to ensure they feel they’re right, holier than thou, ideologically superior or have “won” the argument, even if it means completely deluding themselves, and destroying a potential friendship in the process.
“Stupid is as stupid does” – Forrest Gump
I guess.
If I have the time, and the skill, I try and help other people who’re honourable and respectful. I’ve lost count of the number of reblogs, guest bloggers and shares I’ve done over the years – bloggers helping bloggers, helping each other – you know solidarity. Not to mention that at least half of the 57000 comments are my replies to others.
At the end of the day – if you have no respect for me, you’re not worthy of my time.
Which reminds me of a quote I saw the other day, I’ll post that later.
Hope you are safe and stays that way.
Cheers
Don Charisma

I don’t understand why some people feel the need to post negatively. If I find a blog/post I don’t agree with I just move on. Posting inaccurate information is one thing, kindly point out the error, but there is no reason to get aggressive about it.
Well, that’s one of the reasons you’re one of my favourite bloggers TMT 🙂 always makes me happy when I succeeded in writing something comment-worthy – and a TMT comment is the “Rolls Royce”/”Cadillac” of comments 🙂
(probably shouldn’t have said that out loud, but, fuck it, I know you have a sense of humour)
After researching and poking around – Most recently I’ve found it’s politically motivated “sour grapes”, for the crime of being a wrong thinker/wrong speaker.
Even being neutral on the teflon orange man isn’t enough, for instance. Oddly enough being attacked for that, doesn’t really endear me to the underlying ideology I’m perceived to have affronted.
Reminds me of the Aesop’s fable of the “The North Wind & the Sun” – http://www.read.gov/aesop/143.html
Other times it’ll be envy. Or one of the other “sins”. But weirdly I never had any problems with religious bloggers, they mostly seem cool and friendly.
Other times I’ll have made a cultural faux pas, or just been plain stupid/mischievous (in which case I might have deserved it)
Other times it’ll just for being different. But I just don’t have the patience or desire to do mono-topic blog. Doesn’t suit my personality, and it’s too much effort to do 60 blogs. Well unless I had a budget and 60 good bloggers – and then there’d be no stopping me. I’d settle for just a budget these days.
Other times I’ll have done a metaphorical “crazy Ivan” on the blog, which I do from time to time (“crazy Ivan” – “The Hunt For Red October” 1990)
The common theme is a victim narrative and the recipient is perceived as the cause of suffering. It’s not a bad strategy overall, often works.
I think the overall arena is called “grievance politics”
Fascinating what’s out there on the internet.
And, err, yeah, sorry about the post in a comment, sometimes I get carried away.
LMAO! Thank, but I’m more of a Jeep person, Caddy’s are too BMWish.
I’ve never understood people who get so worked up over politics. My mother was a middle-of-the-road type person, she would split her vote between the two parties because she believed neither side should be in full control, a balance was needed. Sadly, these days when there is a balance nothing gets done, instead of working together for a compromise solution.
Keep safe, my friend.
I’d still give my right arm to own a Ferrari, but I don’t think that’ll happen in this lifetime. I’m cool with it though, family has become more important as I get older. Ah, yeah, sorry working on stereotypes rather than knowing you personally – just messing around mostly.
I never had any interest same as you, and was same back in the day for me, hardly made any difference with moderate-center-left vs moderate-center-right, I was more concerned with making a living and life for myself and dating. We got what we got as prime minister, and put up and shut up. UK used to be prosperous, and people generally got along.
These days, unfortunately, one side has gone way beyond any reasonable boundaries, compromise isn’t part of their plan and some one’s gotta stand up for what’s right, or it will only just get worse. Not sure if I’m that man, but raising awareness doesn’t hurt.
Emergent is globalism and populism, which are the new left and right. Or at least that’s how I understand it.
Plus I was sick of getting one over’ed on, by manipulation, free speech getting managed by people I don’t trust and EU basically a communist project, with unaccountable and unelected leaders. Not to mention people I’ve come to dislike essentially filibustering Brexit for 4 years and probably destroying my future ability to support myself and my loved ones in the process.
Brexit did seem to be resolving itself, until the virus. Now I have no clue.
I’ll never be saying Comrade TMT, well not unless it’s that or the gulag.
Keep safe also, best wishes to you and your family.
Well said, Don. eŕrr, I hope we’re friends at least? 😷
Thanks. I don’t recall ever receiving anything other than respectful and polite, so yup, you’re still on my friends list 🙂
Thanks for dropping by – Hope all is well, stay safe 🙂
