Outbroke Britain 1: I will not survive Covid

Society will not survive Covid.

In the case of the latter, it shouldn't. Exceptionalism from imperialist global society is informing utter ignorance and driving it towards oblivion. The freedom not to wear a mask isn't a choice. You could choose safety and health over not. Of course there are no guarantees. Of course masks, lockdowns, and social distancing, are not perfect nor are they intended as cures. They are steps. You should choose to follow good advice. This isn't happening across the world.

In the case of the former, I must not survive. I, as I am; a person moving into middle age is passing out of this broken society. It isn't my place and it isn't my world anymore. It will be for the survivors: the generations to come who will inherit the misery left behind in the wake of our disastrous handling of this crisis. One that, globally speaking, is far from over. The economic effects have barely begun.

And that's before the crisis of climate change (and Brexit!).

This world belongs to the generations that will inherit these terrible remains. They have been cursed not blessed. The dinosaur elites have made sure of that. For this reason, and many others, we must support nascent voices of long standing outrage. BLM should absolutely smash the statues, and we should help them - at the very least not arrest them.

The greatest opponent to this change is the cancerous monolith, the media. The dull witted dolmens of the fourth estate who refuse discussion of change, refuse to countenance criticism of this rotten system, and are members, largely, of the ruling elite. Look at how they have managed to convince people, enough to vote against their own interests (again), that a decent bloke was a terrorist adjacent advocate of gulags and financial ruin. That's Jeremy Corbyn, obviously.

It isn't a secret. Look at the guy; he keeps an allotment, makes jam, has a full career supporting positive causes. Speaks against racism. Yet somehow, despite all this evidence pointing to a humane character - whatever you might think of his policies - the media has created cognitive dissonance such that he can't be what he so transparently is. The notion that he hates Jews and supports terrorists is basically false. Is he perfect? Fuck no. Is he an Etonian racist, thug, and professionally incompetent bullshitter? N.O.!

Look at his reception visiting the Grenfell victims compared to the dismal awkward spectacle of Theresa May looking shifty and escorted by the police! Consider that the people smearing Corbyn, who appeared with warmth and obvious empathy, are those responsible for the conditiosn that led to the disaster.

This is how they play us.

Tomorrow I'll discuss the letter from the JC that arrived today informing of my Work Focussed Interview, three weeks hence. Fortunately it's by telephone!
