Invariably, some denier who got Covid is mentioned and something akin to, “They deserve it,” is a likely rejoinder.
One doesn’t usually align capitalism and moralism because, in its purest sense, capitalism is only about one thing, profit. The minute it factors in elements other than profit, the income model gets tainted and predictability falters.
It was 2016 and we were heady with an unquenchable appetite. We wanted it all, and not with a layer of guilt on top.
The Spanish Flu took 675,000 lives in America. By the end of this year, we will easily pass 500,000 deaths.
It would seem that the marauding domestic terrorists, as they have been confidently labeled in the press, have a clear agenda, but I, for one, don’t quite see it.
I thought I knew my mom, but apparently, she led two lives, the one she shared with us and the one she reveled in with others.
We live in times of hyper intense consumerism and it begs the question, have we gradually become more intolerant the more things we acquire?
A healthy sense of self-preservation ensures that the way we see the world, is the right way. There are, none-the-less, reasons to morally vilify either side of the me-and-mine and the us-and-ours.
The police are not an isolated culture unto themselves, perpetuating an alternate social paradigm of their own making. We, collectively, are complicit in their policing practices. The police are guardians of a social order we impose by how we live our lives: where we live, who we marry, what our schools look like, who we hire, bank lending practices, etc.
Being there, imposes on someone else a formative experience of dispelling all stereotypes and seeing the real. Presence challenges our inclination to take the easy road, to get our information about others from oral or written tales, or video media that is all too often, simply wrong.
