Kim Jong Un and the great devil Trump

Kim Jong Un and the great devil Trump

You should like this one, Jim Murray.

When I first heard of the death of Kim Jong-il, I was riddled with the hope that his son would become a great leader—bringing his country, and perhaps the world, into a new era of light and enlightenment. What a shmuck I was.

As a psychologist and a behaviorist, I look deep into the hearts of men (and women.) We are a predatory species that feeds on its own. It’s rare, these days, for the pacifist to emerge king (or queen.) Women were once the kinder sex, but Hillary has shown us she can wriggle her balls with the best of them. Kim Jong Un and Trump stand side by side, gazing down at each other’s family accouterments, comparing who’s the bigger in size, while Hillary stands off to the side whining about how small she is.

The family jewels have translated into nuclear accomplishments, with one threatening the world, and the other vowing to stop him. Predators have floated to the top like cream, though cream they are unlike. Our world has become unstable, and you and I are its victims. We hold our breaths, waiting for those at the top to seal our fates.

How did it come to this? We follow the lead of Millennials, crying out, “Me, Me, Me…” We have lost the ability to join our voices and scream, “We, We, We, the people. We are meek and troubled and sheep.

In trying to raise a voice for children, I have found rabid competition to be a stumbling block. There seems to be an inability to join together in one voice over each other’s accomplishments.

“I did this, or I did that,” is the cry.

Who gives a good Goddamned who accomplished what? Children’s lives are my hue and cry. I’d gladly join together what I’ve discovered with the goal of preserving those small lives.

The threat is far greater now, with leaders threatening annihilation rather than a simple death toll day by day. How did it come to pass that we allowed these thugs complete control over our lives?

I once volunteered for a campaign. A candidate I believed in was running, who is neither here nor there, but what I witnessed astounded me. One candidate arrived fashionably late to a debate at a college; wearing a trench coat worth several times over my wardrobe; forging the way with bagpipes in his stead.

“We don’t want to elect a king,” screamed my mind.

“Oh my God—we want to elect a king,” screamed the answer.

Have we not yet evolved past the point where a pretty trench coat can get one elected? He lost, in the end to a purveyor of The NewAmerican Century—where a new Pearl Harbor set in the blazing light of 9-11 set the world forth on a new round of undeclared World Wars. All the men mentioned on that website swept to the top of the US government, bleeding its coffers dry with new embattlement costs. To hell with the homeless; the starving; the less fortunate. We must defeat the enemy.

But the enemy is us.

Another well written one, Claire. Frankly when I look to the future I see our annihilation at one point, by our own hands, as you say. The only species to ever accomplish this.The Bible predicts this, the signs are obvious. However ( as horrific as it sounds) perhaps its for a good thing. At least the rest of the world, flora / fauna can get on with it, without us. Is this the only way to save our children living under constant evil threat from each other in the world we should be co- habiting?

Does the truth set you free? Brilliant buzz by Joyce \ud83d\udc1d Bowen Brand Ambassador @ beBee

Bravo Joyce \ud83d\udc1d Bowen Brand Ambassador @ beBee for stating what we know, but few would even bother with....that's how low we've sunk; that everyone becomes something to be priced by an biased abacus that has crept into vogue. We are all culpable (certainly those in the first world and all of those nations that rule by democracy). We have unleashed the beast and I wonder how much of that is just to make our own 'hollywood blockbuster'...a distraction from the truth that we're not doing so good as a species. Now, alongside us comes the usual suspects in the form of dictators that have just the perfect platform to swing their own children by their necks and blame it on an ideal that has left the building. I am tired, like you, of what is still good and noble and hopeful that is left in us being overshadowed by swinging dicks. GREAT buzz.

You do wonder what is really going on in their heads. Trump is an old guy who has no regard. Kim is a superannuated child for whom the word "no" has no meaning. The koreans have to decide what to do about kim themselves, and as for trump time is not on his side. But a pecker contest is only interesting when the peckers are big enough - not the case here

Interesting perspective. I agree that certain female politicians today aren't any different to their male counterparts. Also, the people in power in certain countries, like the US and N. Korea, seem to be oblivious to the repercussions their decisions have on a global scale. They are just too focused on acting out their egos than do anything useful for the people they allegedly represent. Things may not be so gloomy though. Bold words aside, these "leaders" are there mostly for collecting praise, like some applause junkies in the entertainment industry. I doubt they are willing to act on their bold claims and start a war, since they have more to gain (in their minds) by simply attracting the limelight in press conferences than leading a war.
