We so called "Americans" seem to be in a spiral of making the same mistakes over and over. And we are so stupid, it is really sad. Opinions can be violent and subjective, as is the concept of "ownership" which is a shameful concept and will ultimately be our undoing. None of us have been here long enough to have a valid opinion, yet we feel entitled based on our self interests, our ownership of whatever assets we have gained and are trying to protect from those who we do not "Agree" with. Assets are nothing. We are fighting about nothing. We are not entitled to anything, as we belong to the Earth. You can't OWN the earth. We are all part of it, it owns us. Where I live in Santa Cruz California, the real "Americans" - the Natives who lived here peacefully for at least 10 THOUSAND YEARS or quite possibly much longer than that were called the Ohlone people. They were non-violent, and hardly wore clothes, completely living off the land and travelling between San Francisco and Big Sur as conditions and food availability dictated. They were smart enough to know you can not own land. They knew they were "of the Earth," and not there to achieve gain of assets other than acorns or deer or whatever bits they needed to survive and live. So along came the fucked up Catholic Missionaries, who basically attempted to "convert" them to their reprehensible Religeon which was a fantasy used to justify their desire for assets and control. They enslaved and tortured the Ohlone people and literally wiped them off the face of the earth over a short period of century or two - gone quickly after being here 10s of thousands of years, The Ohlone people left no garbage or junk and hardly any markings that they were ever here at all - because they didn't own anything, beside what they needed to survive. These were/are the real Americans, who made America "Great" and lived like God (which is nature elements and unconditional love) intended. So here we are - whole bunch of dumbshits driving around 165 years later. We morons JUST got here, they were here for thousands of years leaving no trace. And in this 165 or so years, we have completely THRASHED the place. Our Walmarts and Dunkin Donuts, and Cheverons on every corner, we immediately de-forested almost completely the Old-Growth Redwoods some of which had existed since before whoever "Jesus" was came along. We leveled this beautiful place and sliced it up and started selling it to each other lol. We took sides on everthing with our opinions justifications based on religion race nationality social status and desire for profit We created many unbelievable wars in which millions of people were killed. And we have so many lined up, as it is quite a profitable business, allowing us to gain more assets and buy more land lol - yes we are dumb enough to buy land. This is stupid and sad. We sold land and in seeking profit have quickly ruined the world which we think we own, but this world still owns us. I believe if Jesus is up there looking down he is shaking his head going "What the fuck have you done????! I gave you everything and you destroyed it, and are on the edge of blowing the whole place to bits. Let's recap -We are of the Earth we can not own it. So this big insane sociopath dickhead we ELECTED as our leader lol damn we are idiots - he want to make "America Great Again" this is great. Really? It has never been GREAT since we got here, and folks... news flash. we JUST got here. And we fucked it up in less than 200 years. Great going everybody. So just love your children and try and teach them love and compassion and ignore the rest, that is all you can do. It is a big show, and certainly destined to end badly unfortunately. But since we are already fucked, try and enjoy the short time you do have here, as life is very short, and LOVE as much as you can. Spread love, try not to have opinions because you have no idea what you are talking about, regardless of which side you are on and which "bad" guys are coming to get you and your assets. Better have that gun under your pillow because the liberals are coming to make your Dorrito eating kid gay. if you think your opinions are valid and you are on the right "side" you are seriously disillusioned - well we all are, we were programmed that way. Good night all,that is my rant on the state of affairs. Enjoy what's left of your life and remember who you belong to. The earth, it does not belong to you. Peace.... and always remember my Steemit friends I love you.
