The Uptight American: Part I
most will blame the uptight american anus
(oops, did i say “anus?”) on the fact that the empire was
formed by rich white puritans who were scared of their
own *****es & ******s so much that they hoped their “god”
would have created them without such horrid raging beasts
between their legs---
so the story goes, americans still rule the world with the
barrel of a gun & the will to destroy everything in their path
in order to keep it that way, but on the home front, they are
terrified of talking about things that other cultures have no
****ing problem doing
(oops, did i “curse?” why is it a “curse”
to begin with? more bull*****spawned from self-righteous
christian thinking from way back when keeping a woman
locked up in a goddamned house & slaves toiling in the fields
was permissible, but “taking the lord’s name in vain” was
more than frowned upon).
americans will not talk about the fact that they don’t have
money, because celebrity worship is so great in the belly of
the empire that to think you’ll NEVER EVER become rich &
beautiful like those pristine white teeth movie stars is a
thought that most just don’t want to register.
if someone is mentally ill or if a family member is, forget about it,
act like it DOESN’T EXIST---if a family member, someone you
knew, or even a total stranger blew their ****ing head off,
act like it DIDN’T HAPPEN, or if you can come to terms with
the fact that it did, blame it on the individual---they were selfish,
they weren’t getting enough sex (ooh, but don’t mention the word
“sex”…say something like “nobody cared for them”), they
just couldn’t get it together…ANYTHING but looking at how
american culture is geared towards tossing the unsavory in
garbage cans in the blatant attempt to get rid of them, at least
from the public eye…at least so we don’t have to look at them.
