Enough is Enough.

You know, I always try and give this world credit. No matter what compassionate, positive and empathetic people try to achieve for the greater good of the whole, there are always some well placed, paid and very bigoted arseholes there to block it.

It is getting to the point where this world needs to stand up to extremism, hatred, bigotry, shaming, bullying and other forms of suppression of the human identity. What are they trying to achieve? Archaic Abrahamic laws so they can discriminate at will? Are they trying to reintroduce Monarchic laws from the Middle Ages to have a world of serfs?

Where does it get to the point where the good have to start turning to the weapons of their oppressors? As a Bi and technically disabled human being, this is just getting irritating. I look at places that enact all these laws, and think, "Damn it, there is another place I won't go."

People, you have to start deciding where do you stand? Are you there with those of us trying to do good in the world, or are you there helping those who are going to turn their teeth on you after what THEY want is achieved. If you support extremism, if you support free speech, the freedom to love who you will, if you are a bully albeit a low level one in the scheme of things, they will turn on you when they are done, because you are the last piece of useless meat they see.

Someone only goes for those they despise first because they feel threatened. Those thugs that do their bidding are always left out in the cold or consumed in the fires when they have set the world ablaze. Don't believe me? Take a good long look at pictures of SS troops when the Reich was defeated. Look at the empty, soulless, rejected look in their eyes. Look at these thugs, all proud and strong the day before, crying for their leader. That will be you. You think that these extremists love you, that they care for your well being. You are wrong. You are the last one left to turn their soil and wipe their arses when they have finished shitting all over your freedoms. Good luck with that.

I might be a small, infinitesimal cog in a giant mechanism. I might break first, but I can assure you, there will be more to take my place.

There is just no point in trying to argue with delusions of idiots. I always get told that compassion is a weakness, well, as is eluded to in many works on Buddhism, especially in Shinto and other forms, compassion is also a form of strength in knowing when to be firm and unyielding. Sometimes, strength is needed to say no, to say enough. And after living in a very educational part of the world that I am, after having finally recovered many parts of life that I had put aside, or were left scattered in the sands of time, I know now, that was the final lesson I needed to understand.

So, I am going to continue to spend more time being active in things I put away a long time ago. And it starts with this. Stop the bullying of people for who they are, and grow up, and start to learn that while you may not like the differences between you and those you despise, more oft than not, your enemies are your better teachers.


Peace, love and compassion to all. And sorry for the long read.
