Thread: On the Same Energy

  1. #1

    Default On the Same Energy

    this is a graph of the Consumer Price Index (green) and total American deaths (yellow) over the past ten years on the same % scale:



    we're told the economy is what everyone really cares about, we say the economy is what everyone really cares about, we talk about kitchen table issues

    we don't talk about the kitchen tables' empty chairs

    .

    this is the same graph with the daily new cases of COVID in the United States (red) since April 1st on the same % scale:



    we don't have any sayings about how we have to draw air into our lungs and shortly thereafter expel it, we breathe automatically
    there aren't any quotes about how the body has to shut down and enter torpor every few days, we sleep automatically
    you can't find an aphorism about how ignoring a problem is great, we do that automatically too

    we have sayings and quotes about what's NOT automatic in order to remind us that we are capable of more
    that there is something in all of us that can choose

    we have to say "neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented"
    because neutrality and silence are automatic
    we have to choose to take a side, choose to speak up

    we have to say "folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. they kept going, because they were holding on to something"
    we have to say "that there's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for"
    because turning back is automatic
    we have to choose to keep going, to hold on, to fight

    and we have to say "the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing"
    because doing nothing is automatic
    we have to choose to do something

    we all see the lines on the graphs,
    we all know what they mean, and
    when so much of us and so many others tell us it's over,
    it's not worth it,
    it's too hard,
    it's too weird,
    we have to live our lives,
    it's time to move on,
    everyone else has,
    i say to all who keep choosing to do what's right:

    you are not alone
    Hasta pronto, porque la vida no termina aqui...
    America, stop pushing. I know what I'm doing.

    You still trying to convince people to stay home and save lives? Even Democrats have moved on from fearmongering about COVID after realizing they totally fucked up the economy and the lives of hundreds of millions of Americans with their endless shutdowns and restrictions.
