When Money Is The Issue

Yup, that really is a very weird phenomenon, and it seems that all kinds of earnings are into it: Born as slow tortoises, money somehow change into fast-moving rabbits

I have to admit that I don't know all that much about the intricacies of the monetary systems of this world, but part of it, like e.g. the American TrickleDown-theft that has been going on for 50 years or so, always makes me fume with indignation. It's totally respectless of the American people who are not billionaires. The "logic" of it has been disproved over and over, and still the idea that poor people experience positive effects when rich people get richer, e.g. by an insane taxing system, and spend more money has not been kicked out as the lie it is.

I often ask Americans on the websites I visit WHY they don't get rid of such a ridiculous and unfair system, but I've never got a good answer to that question. In Europe we pay taxes to secure the common good of the countries where we live as well as ourselves as private citizens, but not so in the USA, why? It's crazy not to tax billionaires more than they are being taxed now, but instead target the "common folks" who thus may end up toiling for those who have the money they themselves lack for food and housing.

tRump being tRump something like this - and there is much more - doesn't really surprise me. I'm disgusted, but not overwhelmed with feelings of surprise at this "knife in the back" of the ordinary, (very, very often) hard-working people of America because that's what the detestable and, in my opinion, criminal TrickleDown-system is about: Exploitation. 

TrickleDown is a TRICK to make the money of the poor end up in the pockets of the rich, where it stays untouched by The Internal Revenue. Weird, to say the least ....

I published some ebooks (KDP) on Amazon last year, but I unpublished all of them over my indignation of this and other "smart" systems. It was a weird feeling to press the unpublish-button, but it had to be done .... These are some of the books, as there are more.

When Princesses Have Had Enough!!!!

 

 

It's very understandable that all those fairy tale princesses have had enough, but why do they take it out on Alice??? I think I know the answer to that: Being set up as images of patriarchal "dream girls" left most of them sort of "glued" to the spot without nothing else to wait, wait and WAIT for that damn, slow prince they had been told would "find and rescue them". Before he did, they were not allowed to do anything, but looking their best - whatever that is - and maybe also console themselves with too many sweets, thus ending up being even more "glued to the spot".

What else did she have to entertain herself with, but fattening and unhealthy food? Well, those animals who befriended her had their own life to see to and couldn't always be at her beck and call.

And then when that prince came, he turned out to be a thorough imbecile - actually a man-child or maybe even a clown! How could someone like that be "the man of her dreams"???? Had she not been living her dull Cinderella-life, she wouldn't have considered anybody like him, handsome or not.

I agree 100% with trick-corr-treat: She would have been better off without this weird prince. However, the myths, the legends and fairy tales tell little girls that someone like him is necessary to change their lives for something better - or just to get moving from that dull, prison like castle or tower. What use is it to let one's hair fall down to the ground like with Rapunzel when one is not allowed to follow it? It may look impressive, but to whom? That prince who has come to "rescue" one? What if Rapunzel doesn't like him, or he has a thing for brunettes, but not for blondes?

Yup, I fully understand why all those fairy tale princesses may be envious of Alice because they feel that she is allowed to live life to the full whereas they have to stay put until they are being "rescued". Just think of all the interesting persons she encountered when she entered that rabbit's hole!

 

It's not fair to take their envy out on Alice, but I must admit that I understand all those frustrated princesses. The boredom they endured must have been killing!

 

 

Stepmom of SnowWhite

 

Come on, take a bite, eat my apple
nothing to fear, I guess
or if so, you had your time
taken out of mine, that is

yes, you had it all, dimples and peach skin
however, youth only lasts until the apple works
then old age reigns again

Had I been a loving mother, I would have warned you
against Father Time, the executioner, torturing and killing
all the time tic-tocking beauty and youth into oblivion
lucky you, being saved from that by me

However, laid bare to whatever "prince" who comes by

As it is, my snake's-heart brewed a poison
all for your dimples and peach skin
some for my old age and waning beauty
everything else for my love of my mirror
what came first is me, once young and innocent
a snow-white lily with a touch of vampire blood

The Rape "Game"

 

Now, what is this? Could it be a pamphlet AGAINST rape, warning men that that fantasy they have about abducting, binding, torturing, raping and maybe even killing women is not good for either them or said woman? Naaahhh, the wording is more like "have fun, doing sexy acts with "party girls" (whatever that is)"

As we know, Erotic transference is quite common. Many (?) women may dream of a situation like that, but how many - and whom - have acted out that fantasy? Almost nobody, whereas countless men have acted upon their fantasies of empowering women who somehow "tickle their funny bone", so to speak. Actually, these women may not even notice them, but that isn't obvious to the men who are caught up in fantasies of "girls lusting for their body". 

I would say that this particular case may look like a joke, but it's anything but funny if red under-wear is being seen as a sexual invite because of the color. After all, there is a reason why underwear is called under-wear: It's not being flaunted unless the clothes covering it is being ripped off. Not even if the rape victim had been stark naked, it would be an invitation to just everybody who might have a fantasy of her or someone like her. Men's fantasies don't oblige her in any way, just as her fantasies don't oblige them.

Even serial rapists and/or killers like e.g. Ted Bundy have said that porn sent them headlong into those erotic transferences of a non-violent and non-criminal sex urge into dreams of acts that grew more and more wild with the actual experience of rape and murder: The more women they raped and killed, the more they needed this stimulation to get sexual satisfaction. Without that, they were left with those "blue balls" all of them hate.

 

In a Patriarchy, girls are being taught from an early age that they should behave in a certain manner not to provoke the allegedly predatory male sex drive. It may be wise in certain cultures, but it shouldn't be necessary. However, new tricks are appearing everywhere, and it's annoying that women and girls aren't safe when they go out to have a drink or more. I'm glad to know that some bars, etc. see the problem and do their best to help the women.

The REALITY of the Assumed Reality

 

No, one doesn't turn into the person whose looks one borrows for a short spell, even though the new, "natural" silicon masks may make one feel that way. The same goes for digital AI-images that are able to turn one's true - i.e. GENUINE, NATURAL - persona into something quite different. To cheat by making oneself look like a beauty queen when on the net may not be all that seldom, whereas it would be to turn oneself into a sort of Quasimodo when one in reality is a beauty queen. People expect those they have romantic affairs with on websites, chat-rooms or whatever to be what they say they are and to look like they said. As we know - e.g. from the MTV-show "Catfish" - that's not always the case. Some get very offended that the one they declared to love wasn't a handsome hunk, but Quasimodo.

Charles Laughton as Quasimodo

However, the everyday transformation of women when applying make-up is considered more of an obligation than "cheating". It may be very obvious that a specific woman doesn't have eye-lashes that long, but somehow these additions to her looks become part of whom she is and thus what people expect her to look at all times - which she most certainly doesn't.

At what stage escapes one's true personality and turns into what is expected by other people? That moment is difficult to pinpoint, and I shall skip it for now and instead look at one special aspect with this make-belief-trap: Make-up signals that this specific and made-up woman adheres to her assigned role. That may not be what she herself wanted, but that is what most of those who see her think. Once I read that some women without make-up were harassed in Japan for being perceived as "feminist" which the fragile male egos couldn't take.

The Mental TrickleDown

 

Exaggerated danger of MENTAL TrickleDown? No, I don't think so, and we should be alert to the dangers of growing up as a "Trickler". 

What America has become may very well be a prelude to something much worse. Losing its innocence has made it turn into something that looks very different from what it was.

From this image of former greatness to what? Well, as a mirror of what it used to be at a special historical moment it might turn into something like this:

These men are symbols of certain actions and ideologies which some find innocent, but which more and more see as a threat to everything that America used to be and which it should become in the future. After all, no country can sustain its image without rooting out what these images represent.
 

Certain individuals might love to see this image as the new Mount Rushmore which really is a potent symbol of what's going on in the USA right now. However, others find the very idea a deadly stab in the back of the USA they want to see in the future, namely the one that's not wrapped in "DIPS", "Insider tradings", sheer "bluff and theft". 

Boobs Out In The Free!

 

Presumably "Tea Cup Sallie"

Yup, some women don't need trays, but even so, most women wouldn't endanger one of their best assets with hot liquors of any kind: No coffee, no tea should get too close to what's both a part of their sexual attraction and their natural "milk station" for babies.

I bet this isn't a baby girl, but a baby boy because that way he may represent the "double consumer" of female breasts without being coarse. To see the happy smile of a baby doesn't suggest that his Mom is a "hoe" - or something like that - for ripping out what nature gave her to feed her baby: It's "innocence" in something that might be called a "desexualized sexualization" of breasts.

This joke is a very fine summary of what might be called "the breast situation in modern times": What this young woman is doing is very natural and in full accordance with her role, as well as obligation, as a mother. She is breastfeeding her child, but lo and behold, it's done in the open which turns it into something that seems to be suggesting a sexual act. Oops!!!! Not her wish, but the mind of the not breastfeeding gender see it that way because they have been conditioned to do so: First and foremost, women "are" sex-objects, and their breasts have been symbols of many different things in the Patriarchy.
 

What to do when one is a conscientious woman who want to do good for her baby? Well, don't be too free with those female assets if you don't want to provoke the public, even though it should be possible to do so without misunderstandings of any kind. 

Yup, that should do it, although there will be loads of people - male and female - who resent that possibility of gaining freedom, even for one night.
