Like A Car

There is no equality when it comes to cars. We seem to be fully aware of the differences and accept them. Some big, small, fancy, practical, fast, slow, clunky, sleek, etc. Then, we have differences in pricing, taxing, insuring, and repairs, colours, accessories, and preferences. They are subject to scrutiny, MOT’S, and monitoring for speed, road worthiness, and, ultimately, safety. A serial number, annual checks, and whenever they feel like it, new rules or restrictions.

Do you feel like a car yet? Because what they propose for people is very similar in my mind, except the awareness and acceptance of inequality and difference. We are to be treated like cars, but ones that are all the same model, shape, size, and level of efficiency. Socialism. Where you are made to be all equal, get the same, are treated the same, and have the same expectations placed upon you. One size fits all.

But it doesn’t, does it? One size when it comes to life doesn’t fit all, clearly. Otherwise, there would be no need for billionaires, big houses, richness, or poorness as they class it. What seems to be occurring is a need from those billionaires to ‘buy poverty’ for everyone else. Playing a dangerous, high stakes game amongst themselves, where the people are pawns, hired and expired as necessary.

All these strange and restricting ideas and policies, enacted by people who don’t follow them, the rules are for thee, not for me. As seems apparent. And like with cars, if you start to restrict the road or come up with a stupid route, it causes a bottleneck, accidents, and detours. Imagine if they decided one day that all white cars weren’t allowed over bridges or through tunnels? But the next day, they decided red cars could only travel on B roads. It would get weird, difficult, and be deemed astoundingly ridiculous. Yet that’s what they are doing with people by essentially playing with their lives, restricting opportunities based on race, and creating an ever hostile environment for everyone. As the summer rumbles on, we shall see what the next move is in the rather odd plays of society and just how hostile it’s going to get.

The Golden Child

It’s a phrase I’ve come across on the internet, where people share ‘stories’ of their childhood and of the subtle or sometimes extreme favouritism that was prevalent within the sibling ranks. The golden child. And of course, it was a great film in the 80’s with Eddie Murphy and with slightly different meaning.

But in the set up where a seemingly equal situation should occur, there is a wild imbalance. Where favouritism and separatism creep in, and a difference of expectation, affection, and reward are often the result. And this can happen in all sorts of scenarios outside of the family structure, teacher’s pet, star employee, golden child etc, and seems to be wherever you have people. Because it’s clearly a trait that some humans have, not to just to have a preference, but to make sure it is used as a weapon and tool of dominance, of control and of manipulation.

The psychological effects are known, and that’s sometimes why people do it. Deliberate favouritism, to show you and tell you how someone else is better, more important, worthy, and qualifies for more. But that isn’t enough, it’s like they need to see you go without, see you thrown aside and be affected by being discarded. And it really isn’t a problem that only affects children at all, it’s just often when it begins or people are first exposed to it. Not that everyone notices, some people end up taking it all in and just end up thinking they aren’t good enough, or thinking they deserve to be treated as lesser because the systematic exposure to it gets ingrained and you become conditioned to it.

So, when an entire population gets shunned and has to watch the ‘golden child’ get adopted into the family with a very public and nasty replacement, it can be very hurtful, shocking and demoralising. As it would be if an actual parent did that to their own child, making sure everyone got to see them being thrown away and treated like crap over someone else. But it’s weirdly sinister with the government doing it to you, after they have conditioned you to see them as a caregiver and helping hand, because they also make you pay with your actual time, money and life to have it done to you. Having already trapped you into the systems that feeds it, with rules, laws, bullying and threats to force people to comply, to keep quiet and to keep handing over more of their time and money to keep it going. Making Money From Misery is an industry they don’t want to let go of, with new and elaborate ways to make people miserable…
