Division

“So that’s the reason.”
*neuron fire*Masks. Gulf of America. Electric cars. Tariffs. Economic theories. Anything the guy you hate says or does.
It’s all a psyop, folks. Division. That’s the product. That’s the goal. That’s what the people who run your life sell to you, every day.
“Love thy neighbor?”
No profit in that. No leverage. No power.
But hate your neighbor? That’s gold. That’s control. That’s loyalty to the brand — the red one, the blue one, whichever keeps you punching sideways instead of looking up.
Take the Gulf of America thing. Now there are two camps:
One calls it that.
The other still calls it the Gulf of Mexico.
What’s in a name? Everything.
Now the second someone uses the "wrong" one, the line is drawn. Doesn’t matter if you agree on 99.9% of everything else — they’re the other tribe. You’ve been told you can’t coexist.
Same with masks. Same with electric cars. Same with what color your coffee cup is.
It’s programming. And the program is us-vs-us.
Because if we’re all busy tearing each other apart, nobody notices who’s still on top.
And that’s the point.

I don’t remember much before 9/11—partly because I was young, partly for other reasons altogether unrelated.
But I remember the feeling.
There was hope. Room to dream. A sense that the future was ours.
Then came the fear.
We traded freedom for safety without reading the fine print. Scared, grateful, obedient.
And just like that, we stepped into the machine—cameras, tracking, data scraped from every word, every move.
When Snowden spoke, we didn’t gasp. We nodded. Of course they’re watching. Even this.
And the worst part? We’ve learned to live with it.
That’s the design. Exhaust us. Make resistance feel futile. Keep us grateful for the scraps.

On High
Oh High
Come in. You’ve made it.
This is it. The place.
A place where anything is possible.
The one you were promised—for all those good deeds, those quiet sacrifices.
Look around. These are the most beautiful things you will ever lay eyes on.
...Okay, enough of that. The infinite choir recital starts in ten. Don’t be late.

Twilight Zone
Twilight Zone
Imagine, if you will, that your existence began in a white room. There's a dispenser on the wall that fills up a cup with all the sustenance you need to survive.
You have a TV and a Nintendo (NES) game console in the room with one game, Super Mario Bros. Your entire life is spent drinking the liquid coming out of the dispenser. Very early, you learned that when you drank it, you no longer felt any discomfort in your mid region.
You slowly start poking and prodding at the game console until you can finally get it working and visuals appearing. Whether this took you days, months, or years, you don't know. You don't even know what those things are.
The strange symbols on the screen make no sense to you, but after a while you learn the game and you go with the flow. You're getting pretty good at it because you're seeing things you've never seen. If you mess up, it seems to start over. You don't like starting over. You want to see more.
One day, the game seems to start over without you making any mistakes. What did that mean? You sit there and look around. You're now tired of the game. You played without error, yet you're right back at square one.
How old are you? You don't even know what age is. You have been puzzled by the reflection on the screen. The longer you played the more it changed. You don't even really know what a reflection is so you just thought it was part of the game.
The things you play with now hurt. The sustenance has become bland tasting, it's no longer filling. Do you know what death is?

It’s all hopeless, isn’t it.
*screeching tiresLife’s like a car crash. Yeah, I know. Even I’m falling for postmodern tropes now. You start up, and you’re going pretty slow and steady. You look around at all the world. It’s a beautiful world out there. The houses look like they were cut straight out of classic cottage painting. It all makes sense. Your eyes are wide, taking it all in.
The car starts going a little faster, you’re pedal pushing down. You only want to grow up. You want to make your own decisions. Now out your car windows, you’re seeing the boarded up homes. You’re seeing the people living in tents on the sidewalk. You could do so much better than the people running the show now. You’re only just starting out, and even you know better.
You push the pedal down more, and the houses move by faster, the years drop like dead flies. Now you’re staring down the tunnel of old age, the end as black as the soul of a military contractor. You’ve done nothing to make the world a better place. If anything, you’ve made it worse.
This whole ride was a mistake, your whole life was. The urge to push the pedal down even harder and crash into the retaining wall becomes almost unbearable. I’m tired.
