Re: Desensitization to news and events
I think the world and the events therein make you that way Stock.
The world we now live in is a twat of a place populated by twats. Anybody who thinks its just media sensationalism and rule by fear and things are no worse now than they were X number of years ago is just deluding themselves or lives in leafy suburbs where fuck all happens. The community that I live in is now a shithole, years ago Priory Road was fine, you toodled around, folks spoke to you, now you daren't go out after dark on foot on your own. But its not just isolated to where I live...its across the board. The types of crimes being committed in areas where they happened sporadically are now not even newsworthy and in places that you never dreamed they would happen are greeted with a yawn and a "oh right, another drug related killing was it? ah well, yeah, somebody was raped in that street a couple of weeks ago aswell".
The usual response is, what are the Police/Government going to do about it? My view is that I grew up in the same area and live on the same streets, I take responsibility for my life and my behaviour, when are other cunts going to do the same? Its going to get a whole lot worse to the point where a week without a murder/raping/shooting etc is going to be the exception to the rule.
I used to be as left wing as they came, and I had faith in human beings to have the propensity to change or at least listen to reason. I believed that the 'system' badly let people down and peoples current behaviour was down to past experiences and it was the break down of 'society' that was to blame for most ills. Doing the job that I do and living in the place that I live has, over a period of time, lead me to conclude that cunts are cunts and always will be cunts. They aren't interested in changing, they are waiting for the day when doing what they do isn't a criminal offence and they can do it with impunity...and even then they will find something else to do which pushed the already badly eroded boundaries back further.
People are cunts, because they are happy being cunts, they are from a long line of cunts who don't know any better. You need a licence to drive a car and keep a dog, yet shitbags who don't even have a sufficient sense of personal responsibility to carry themselves with any dignity at any time are allowed to influence the development of other people.
People are given opportunities to better themselves and having not taken them and chosen the wrong path, they are then given an opportunity to change/reform/rehabilitate themselves....they aren't interested and therefore have no part or place in the society where people who can behave themselves live.
Nobody gives a fuck about anybody else anymore for the most part, and in the type of place where I live, which is mostly populated by no-mark arrow fodder, you have to get desensitized to events as you would be on edge all the time. People aren't reasonable anymore and thats down to them, the lack of socialisation that they've had and that by their very nature they are cunts who should be exterminated like vermin.
I often wonder whether I'm the same species as some of the people I meet/talk to/work with on a daily basis. They say that Aliens walk among us, the older I get, the less I'm doubting that. You can't keep blaming something that happened 20 years ago for your behaviour today.
