Social Oppression Kurdtis social oppression. why is it, that a man is born free, but perpetually bound by chains? man is always confined to a state in which natural rights are infringed by either the infamous "system" or his peers. Authority would be respected more if it were in power for the people. i know that that's what democracy is supposed to be, but democracy is not what the U.S. holds. it reminds me of the russians. communism seems like an ideal govt., but russia had a fucked up communistic state, and the people had no motivation to work. well, the united states has a fucked up democracy. neoptism is as common as fried chicken and the "good ones" are murdered for greed. the people have no rights. (in theory they do) Kids especially have no rights. women, minoritiies, and men have semi equal rights. (although a white male probably has better oppurtunities than others, there are programs specifically for minorities and women, so it sort of evens out) but not kids. they are the epitome of oppression. and they lose any right they had when they enter school. but let's not get into a school rant. so, what motivation is there for you, as an american, to do anything. what can you get by going to work. can you work? can anyone do what they want to do? you may be qualified for a nice job, but can't get it because someone is better looking or a different color. you may have the best qualifications on ther earth, but no skills to get you where you want to go. there are reasons. A. your school probably did not teach you skills necessary to get a job(ie. filling out applications or making a resume) B. you are of the wrong ethnic background. america has been programmed to accept people of its own race. whether black or white, if two applicants are equally qualified, the one that is the same race as the interviewer will probably be favored. if we are not free, then why doesn't anyone say anything? our rights are a myth. your government, to whom you pay your taxes, is making you think that everything is dandy, but your neighbors are dying in wars that are not made aware of to the media or public. You can have all of your belongings confiscated by the state if "they" have "reason to believe" that you are up to something illegal. and this includes anonymous phone calls or letters. remind you of germany? military helicopters and other equipment is being used in the apprehension of people involved in domestic crimes. an act the constitution explicitly prohibits. yet nothing is said. the common people are even slightly scared of the govt. people are scared of being listened to by the wrong ears. and they have reason to. since u.s. officials can drive by your house and know everything you're talking about. phone tapping and letter opening is not uncommon. your friendly government is trying to make encryption techniques such as PGP illegal. so d'l all your encryption software you'll need now, cuz in a few years, it all may be underground. the u.s. is spending way too much money on other countries when we have a multibillion dollar debt. makes me think of the french just before their big revolution. they spent so much money funding shit in the american colonies, just to spite the english, that they ran out of money and would not tax the nobles. hmm. that's weird. the middle class holding the majority of the tax burden while the noble class pays not a cent... that's weird.... NOT!!! heheh (sorry, but wayne's world is amazing) oh well, the u.s. sucks. we need a strong leader who is not afraid to stand up to the biggots and political faggots and can make changes, cut spending, and free the people. thank you, and goodnight.
