More apologies and where I am right now

     I never should've even slightly said violence is our way out.  Not many civilians are equipped to protect themselves in a clash with authorities, and I was only fantasizing about thousands swarming the White House and maybe Congress to force change.  It was desperation because I'm terrified.  Trump told the ruler of El Salvador to build 5 more places because "Homegrowns are next."  That says to me I could be shipped off and beaten to death by prison guards just for having this blog, or my BlueSky account.  That fear made me consider drastic measures, also the feeling of hopelessness due to systemic homophobia which seems to have empowered Republicans dramatically.  I also worry they will forbid Latin Americans from playing baseball in the Major and Minor Leagues to forcibly remove them from the United States, and a good chunk of American baseball is played by Latin Americans, such as Julio Rodriguez, Randy Arozarena, Jose Ramirez, Elly De La Cruz, Ramon Laureano and many, many others.  But my fears are no excuse for considering a path such as violence.

 

    Anyway, June holds promise; it is Pride Month and I plan on seeing two Mariner games and going to a convention in Puyallup.  The Mariners games are Pride Night vs. the Orioles and African-American heritage night against the Guardians.  The Mariners have revealed a great logo for Pride Night and Seattle Steelheads caps they will be giving away for African-American Heritage night.

 



     Washington State Summer Con will also have a lot of people whose work I enjoy; Jodi Benson, Charles Martinet, Ben Diskin, Cristina Vee, Ray Chase, the Turtles and April from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the 1987 show and the 1990 live-action movie and the voice of Mr. Crocker from Fairly Oddparents (FAIRIES!).  My goals for the day are to get a photo with Ben Diskin with my Momo Ayase plush and my Retsuko Funko Pop and an autograph from Cristina Vee on my Sailor Moon Season 1, Part 1 DVD.  I will later tell my Mom this in the hopes she will pay for part of it.

 

    I've been avoiding reality pretty hard, spending most days watching YouTube videos, though I tend to drift from subject to subject pretty quickly.  I guess I'm afraid of videos becoming stale.  I also play songs that are iTunes-exclusive in iTunes and most else in Spotify.  Most of it these days are Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Rush, The Beatles and Miley Cyrus.  I know I should exercise, but I'm terrified of the world right now.  I'm trying to get back into Unicorn Overlord because Cristina Vee's in it and I honestly want to finish it.  I'm so tired and sleep often.  Not much has changed in my daily life, but I just don't want to be so afraid anymore.  I need help, a job and good food.  I'm so exhausted.

Apologies and personal depth of my pain

 

              I apologize for my last post.  I just needed to let all that pain out.  There is a lot of rage right now and because I want to stay connected, I’m absorbing a lot of it.  SAG is getting punished by 7 AI-happy companies, one of whom is Hoyoverse, meaning I probably won’t be able to bring my Edelgard and Annette plushies to WA State Summer Con next month.  AI is making a lot of artists nervous and irate because it can destroy their livelihood, and I’ve pretty much had to stop reading email or going to Facebook due to how people write these politics and the mindless assault on Gaza, with the rage that hits as hard as my last post.  I honestly get the feeling that rage is what the other users on BlueSky want, absolute fury that demands blood.  I do not want to partake in violence and I feel upset that I had to promote it to get the rage out of my system.

 

              Honestly, I do not trust my country anymore.  I believe the 31% approval rating is wrong and it is closer to 80%.  Homophobia and Transphobia is systemic, there are whole industries in entertainment that silence LGBTQ+ people or call them “wrong” or otherwise sweep them under the rug.  LGBTQ+ representation in video games, film and shows is met with aggressive resistance and poor box office.  Many claim Yang and Blake’s relationship was too fast even though it had been set up many years in advance and had been such a slow burn that if it were any slower, it’d be going backwards.  Edelgard is the least-liked house leader in Three Houses in the United States and Nintendo has forced her fandom to relive the pain of the Hegemon Husk in Heroes, as well as treat Dimitri with preference.  Tara was also not interviewed in their “Castle Conversations” series.  And all of this is normalized and reinforced by massive industries.  Country Music endorses the racist Morgan Wallen while the Brothers Osborne (with a gay lead singer) are ignored.  I honestly think Trump won because the United States as a whole wanted to shut down the rise of LGBTQ+ people and force them back into the closet.  How many shows use the “there’s something wrong with him” if the man in question does not want the curvaceous woman advertised?  How many people say “every man” or “every woman” in regards to something related to the opposite sex?  This was just inevitable and will not be stopped with pills or anything other than mass murder.  I’m not endorsing it, but as I see it, that is our only way out.

              My friend wants to improve the world with prescription drugs, removing oxytocin from the brain, or at least lowering it.  Before the Nazis will permit such a thing, they will kill him, burn his research and murder his family and friends (leaving me to be tortured in an El Salvador concentration camp) because the Republicans will likely declare martial law next month to punish the LGBTQ+ community and tell them “No Pride Parades, you do one, we declare you a terrorist.”  They will then monitor our emails and internet activity to randomly punish people as Billboards of Trump are erected, saying “GOD IS WATCHING YOU,” because Trump is their god.  They’ve rejected Jesus and pray to Trump and for Trump.  The only hope is if France assassinates him, bombs Washington DC, Nashville and Tel Aviv.  Blood changes the world, riots change the world, not peaceful practices.  It’s too late to be peaceful, we must kill them or they will kill us with firing squads and sending us to El Salvador concentration camps.  It’s too late for peace and OTC/prescription drugs, we must murder them all, and murder their families and pry this cancer off our nation.  There is no other option.  It’s either that or be victims in a new Holocaust which will make the old one look like two 5-year-olds arguing on the playground.  They will kill over 100 million.  They must die.

 

    I genuinely believe violence is the only way to fix America.  The Conservatives see the Liberals, African-Americans, the LGBTQ+ Community, Latin Americans and Asian Americans as demons from Hell and are working to eliminate them through genocide.  What is the UN going to do, sanctions?  Trump WANTS sanctions, he wants to be cut off from trade and diplomacy to work in his own evil devices and seize all the money in United States.  They want to replace all Congresspeople and Governors with yes-men, which they will do by criminalizing them.  Do not celebrate Memorial Day or Veterans Day or the 4th of July, all US wars have been fought for Capitalism and Power.  They and the Soviet Union were Axis Nations on the Allies' team.  France must destroy New York City, Nazi Nashville, Washington DC and Tel Aviv with Hydrogen Bombs or it is Armageddon.  The planet will not reach the 2030s.  The only good Republican is a dead Republican.
