I said I was emotional but also I'm getting fed up with how people behave today and it's grinding on me. There are some thick-as-mince sort of people around who jump on the "latest thing" without any idea about what they are truly/really saying.
So many things but say Climate Change is a good one to start with. The vandals, for that, is what they are, destroy things and annoy people to highlight that we should (insert the latest thing here) give up something. Now the oil types make you laugh because the very clothes that they wear and shoes on their feet, their high viz jackets etc are all made from oil products. There isn't much that isn't a by-product or that requires the energy from oil, gas and coal to be made. Indeed the very machines that make these things require lubrication and so if you have no oil, well you go back to greasing stuff up with lard and tallow and you have nothing.
They don't seem to understand that the last 100 or so years have seen our life spans double, and the ability to heat our homes and rid ourselves of diseases are all down to industrialisation driven by oil, gas and the like. If these guys end up in hospital what do they think syringes and all the plastic is made from? Would they like to do without it.
So that's just one area, consider any other like taking sides in wars. Since when do you cheer on a side in a war that isn't yours? Since when do you arm each side and not discuss peace at a diplomatic level? Take other stuff going on like clean air zones and fining people for driving where they've always driven before. London's ULEZ is a ridiculous thing. The metropolitan elites live where the transport system is the best and the railways, underground and buses serve 24-hour transportation. Where I live, the buses stop running around 7 pm! If I am back later than that I have a 45-minute walk in the light - at this time of year it will probably take a bit longer as for 75% of the way home there are no street lights and it's pitch black! I'm not that far out of London but if I want to drive to a station it will cost me £12.50 before I've paid parking and the train fare! Who thinks these things through? The answer is that people only see the money and not the consequences of what they are doing.
I enjoyed telling the council what their charges for parking had achieved when they wondered why the high street shops were dying. After 2 years of stupid lockdowns and making people deliberately stay away they then shove the car park prices up. I would only go to the HIgh Street if I had to and that's rare - twice last year. I prefer to drive to a small shopping complex where I don't have to pay anything to park and everything I want is there.
What else? Well just about everything is wrong these days, the news is more like Pravda and we have to pay for the privilege of watching it. Well I don't actually watch it any more as it is part of what's giving me these head problems now. In addition, Facebook, Twitter and the like are also just as bad. You think you know people and then you see they come out with some outrageous stuff on their timelines and you wonder how they can be so ignorant. Of course, if you look at the MSM and their programming, you soon see that people are repeating what they are told is the truth. If they dug deeper or asked a few questions they'd see that things don't actually add up and things aren't what they appear at first sight.
Let's take the "pandemic" No one is asking why, a couple of years later, excess mortality is so high, especially in younger people? You can of course speculate why this is but to ignore the fact that more young people are dying suddenly doesn't make the fact go away. Excess heart disease and cancers are also troubling. Some say caused by shutting down the NHS for after all, what was a respiratory virus much like Flu. But whilst you could understand that in the older population viz me, these are young people, athletes, people who shouldn't be presenting this early on. Anyway, no one cares and no one notices. But here's the thing, I've lost a number of acquaintances through heart attacks and just dying in their sleep and I've a number of friends who are now presenting with heart problems.
Back to my old friend climate change which is a bonkers proposition that CO2 can heat things up. I like to ask people how much CO2 is in the atmosphere? You'll get answers of 5% up to 20% Very few know that it is around 0.04% so less than 1% and that makes the planet heat up? CO2 is heavier than O2 and so it isn't where you think it is. If it's so good, why don't they fill the double-glazing air gap with the stuff? It's because it wouldn't work, the good thing about CO2 is we could do with more of it. When you go to those who grow plants they'll tell you that they want bigger concentrations as it makes their plants grow better! But no, you'll get someone telling you how the poles are melting and CO2 will make the oceans boil etc etc. Not a fucking clue. A short introduction to thermodynamics would actually help if they stayed awake long enough to listen and actually understood why this stuff isn't possible.
Then the hilarious stuff about windmills and solar panels and cheap reliable renewable energy. That's really funny as energy costs have doubled or more, no one seems to understand that if the wind isn't blowing or the sun isn't out you don't get any electricity out of them. They aren't reliable, efficient or indeed recyclable. In Scotland they cut down hundreds of thousands of trees to make room for them, they chop up wildlife and need massive subsidies to make them attractive to investors. Windmills use oil and need massive amounts of power to manufacture so how green are they? I like the idea that someone once told me of batteries to store all the free electricity they make. You'd need a battery the size of Wales to look after the rest of the country and they don't last long, they will need replacing after less than 10 years and so on. Windmills were replaced in the 19th century when we got steam because steam was reliable and the 17th century windmill had had its day. In the late 19th century we used to have electric cars until the ICE came along which was far more reliable and extended the range available.
I could go on about our Politicians who seem to have barely left kindergarten rather than be professional, diplomatic, managers. They are crap, wishy-washy and shit at their jobs. They throw our money around as if it is a bottomless pit of cash and they haven't solved anything in 13 years of Government. Yes, just about everything is triggering me at the moment. I used to just curse and get on with things, but now it affects me and is dragging me down. I regularly hear myself swearing at these idiots, some of my favourites being "Why don't you grow the fuck up!" "You utterly useless piece of shit!" "What a waste of Oxygen" and so on. These things can't be good for my blood pressure.
So I'm getting it off my chest here and elsewhere and I'm going to tackle this by trying to move away and into my own circle and control. I can control my life and actions and I've just got to work out how I do that and pull away from the MSM and the evil that seems to surround us all these days. I'm sure I'll do it but not sure how long it will take this time.
