What do Bukowski, Hemingway, and Morrissey have in common? They all hate women. Apparently. Bukowski writes from the gutter and explicitly explains how much pleasure young women with big asses give him. Hemingway just objectifies women. Morrissey just seems to ignore them. And all this leads people to define them as misogynists. The truth is very different. The thing they have in common is their unique voice. A voice which comes from the heart and that is honest and usually pure. In today’s neo -liberal society bereft of unique thought and the encouragement of sheepism, it is no doubt that freedom of speech and opinion are being more and more discouraged and any well thought out ideas are seen as a threat to some oppressed special interest group or other. In something completely different, I will now explain how Donald Trump represents honest thought, no matter how much against the grain it goes.
Donald Trump rubs people wrong, and often for good reason. He attacks innocent groups and indirectly causes people to show their hate. But is he turning people into haters? No. He is just enabling these haters to have the freedom to act out in very narrow minded ways. These people exist and either suppress their feelings or act them out under shadow. No matter what the case, no new haters are being created nor is Trump condoning the racist actions of these individuals. This is in the same vein that Bernie Sanders isn’t creating new socialists. He is giving them a voice. We overestimate Trump’s power and influence. He is an egomaniac who knows what words to use in order to make people react. The bottom line is that he speaks frankly, albeit from a voice that I don’t agree with. But that gives me nor anyone else any right to suppress this voice. He is doing nothing illegal and is actually helping us out by exposing the civil evil that is running rampant in a seriously skewed nation that has been living in a bubble and a facade.
Trump’s evil opponent is Ted Cruz, someone no one is shutting up even though he is more dangerous than Trump. But people are more comfortable with him because they have heard his kind of hate before. They have been given the inhumane policies by the Republican party all wrapped up in a nice package. This is like your millionaire boss telling you how much he appreciates your work while giving you more of it and enforcing a company wide salary freeze. We’re used to this slavery, this neo -liberal version of the emperor’s new clothes. Ted Cruz wants to abolish the IRS and have a flat tax. He wants to control women’s bodies by abolishing abortion. He wants guns for everyone to apparently stop terrorists. And he has this annoying little smirk you want to slap off his face.
Back to Trump. He speaks of the same things your neighbors speak of. He relates to his public. As does Bernie Sanders, a man who is really aiming to improve his nation and empower his people while taking on a woman that only knows how to use political speak and follow all the rules of false promises and power mongering while sleeping with the same bedfellows as the Republican party elite. Thus the neo liberal invasion. Neo -liberalism is a very long extension and expansion of political correctness gone amok. This is based on a bastardisation of the well – intentioned idea of human rights. This is what separates the socialists from the liberals. The liberal movement in the USA has become a group of spineless individuals that dare not speak badly of or condemn anyone. This separates them from the social democratic movement.
What is the point of all this? Simply put, I want people like Hemingway and Bukowski, whether I agree with them or not, to be able to let me know what they’re feeling and what they are experiencing to feel as they are. On a personal note, at the risk of sounding like so many before me, Morrissey took me out of a very bad place decades ago when no one else could. And that’s what a righteous and truthful person needs to go ahead and believe in humanity.
