MAXIMS THAT REINFORCE A TOXIC SOCIETY

 



" A helping hand is a helping had whether dirty or clean."

-Not to say that people can't change, but if the same hand that hurt you turns around and helps you it may not be due to a change of heart. 

Many tyrants and oppressors use the "bite and blow" technique to build a loyal following of minions.

They may have killed your uncle but they bought your family a house. All you have to do is keep your mouth shut.


"Don't bite the hand that feeds you."

-This kind of goes with the one above. Just because someone is giving you a food doesn't mean they really give a fuck about you as a human being. ...*COUGH* the slave trade and slavery. 



"Blood is thicker than water."

-Physically it is, but it can also drown you just like water can. I recently ran across an online article pointing to the actual meaning of the saying in the bible. 

Take a look: https://www.anythinklibraries.org/blog/misunderstood-sayings#:~:text=%E2%80%9CThe%20blood%20of%20the%20covenant,that%20you%20don't%20choose.

“The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.”

- "The saying means that chosen bonds are more significant than the bonds with family or “water of the womb.” More directly, it means that relationships you make yourself are far more important than the ones that you don’t choose."



"You reap what you sow."

-That is just plain not true. Yes you are more likely to get abundance from planning and hard work, but that is not what we really see happening is it?

We see people sow inequity and oppression all the time and receive riches and security in return. 

I like what Michael Jackson said better: "Cuz there's a time where you're right and you know you must fight!"

Goon Elimination Techniques

If you love martial arts movies like I do then you already know the formula. ....but I'm not here to talk about that today. I showed up to blow up how those poor unfortunate souls tasked with protecting the bad guy get LAID OUT by the hero. 11. The Warning Yell. -Look, y'all bout to get fucked up. This is the emergency get-yo-ass-out the way broadcast system. This is not a test.   10 . Slappin' ya face! -These goons are so low level that an open hand and a yell is all it takes to get them out of the way. Some might mistake these moves for chops or pressure points. Naw, this be straight up pimpin' without the baby powder.  Yeah I know, she is using a shoe. But that shit is still funny!   The real Slap Attack! 9. Get Outta Here! -What Scorpion would do with these fools, the hero does the opposite. He or She literally shoves, flips, or kicks them out of the way. While finding themselves dazed and confused their brains are no longer required t...

TRYING ME 05/23/25

  There is this dumb, fake ass bitch at my job has been trying me since I was hired.  She's married, overweight and recently a new mother.  When I was hired, she was pregnant and I thought I would only be at the company until she returned from maternity leave.  Before she left, she made sure to act a complete ass towards me whenever possible.  While training me the Ukraine Russia conflict came up (this was back in the early stages). I made a comment (it was just me and her in the room) generally stating that Russia needs to stop flexing because it is affecting the US economy (and it was because we had to impose shipping fees on our customers etc.). This bitch proceeds to raise her voice and scold me about how people are dying and what not.  I let it go. I didn't say anything to her for 2 reasons:  1. The bitch was so pregnant I didn't want to put her into labor.  2. The bitch was so pregnant she obviously was miserable and cognitively impaired....

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE

I hadn't seen this movie in over 2 decades. When the opening credits began, I felt a deep since of sadness and darkness. I could say it was my sparse memory of the plot and the overall somber mood from the imagery.  I know it was something else. It wasn't until the movie truly began that I was able to identify the source of the sadness.  This being a "cult" film, I knew there would be some disappointments in plot continuity and special effects partially due to the "wholesome" expectations of the time.  Overall it wasn't too disappointing. The story itself is so compelling that no one really cared about the following: 1. How well folded and "pressed" that note looked after Blanche had crumpled it all to hell and threw it out a window when Jane returned it to her.  2. How Blanche had no idea that Jane was stealing money from her until she started serving her dead animals from around the house.  It could be that this plot hole is an artistic refer...
