Hatred is a power emotion

Man. I just wish it was directed at the true enemy.

And I don't mean Arabs and I don't mean Jews.

The Gaza Strip is actually a really good prototype of the way they want us all to live. It is very efficient in how it packs the most people in the smallest space. Stacked atop one another. No room for trees or sunlight. No barefoot walks across the lawn. Or weekend barbeques with neighbors. Very few automobiles. Very little freedom. Photographs taken for facial recognition databases. No ownership. No room to live or breath.

As housing becomes more and more financially inaccessible to the average America and food becomes less affordable and new automobiles reach four figure payments, we put our legitimate worries aside and hate and argue over something going on a world away.

And this is all very convenient for them. It takes our scrutiny away from them as we turn our attention away from what they are doing to us and to our children.

I will not comply. I will not anguish over what they want me to focus on. I will not lose my senses over someone else's crimes in some other place a world away.

I will choose my own enemies. The true enemies. The ones who exert their control over me and oppress me. On them I will dwell.
