Because I guarantee 99.9% of people won't agree with me on this. And that's fine, I'm used to being opposed regarding this issue. But if you feel the need to comment, be intelligent and mature about it please. I support Martial Law - that's what this is about. So if that upsets you, stop reading this now. I can already guarantee that you're not going to like what I'm going to be saying. SO now that's out of the way, I need to get this off of my chest.
I am straight up disgusted by the way many Americans are acting these days. We have it good here, far better than most countries... still, people want more. Take the Occupy Wall Street bullshit (yes, that's what it is - BULLSHIT). People are out there complaining about the money politicians and CEO's of Fortune 500 companies make... while they use those same companies' products. While they listen to music, watch movies, support celebrities who get paid even more than what these CEO's and politicians do. Let's see. Running an entire country/business vs. pretending to be someone else in front of a camera, getting drunk on camera (ahem Jersey Shore), playing music in front of live audiences, having the whole world in love with you. Who deserves the money more? I'd say the ones who worked their asses off to get where they are - not the people who happened to luck out one day and be discovered. If you want to protest how much money certain American citizens are making, stop going to the movies and listening to music. Common sense.
If politicians and CEO's of Fortune 500 companies get paid more and are taking our tax dollars, so the fuck what? Are WE running an entire country? No, we're not. And if taxes are really that detrimental to your life, you need to find a better job, or learn to adapt. Politicians and CEO's of Fortune 500 companies deserve every penny they get. They worked their asses off for it.
The ironic part is that all of these people protesting, wouldn't be if they were in the shoes of those politicians and CEO's. Because people are lazy sheep. They'd rather call for a revolution and bring America to the brink of a civil war... as if we're not going through enough already... than to get off their asses, go to school, find a good job, and make their money back. None of that is impossible. For ANYBODY. And why is that possible for everyone? Because the GOVERNMENT is KIND enough to provide social programs to assist even the poorest of people, even homeless people, to HELP them with that stuff. But people aren't happy with that. They want more.
So they go out and clog up entire cities, then cry when police officers DO THEIR JOBS. "Boo hoo, someone got maced." WELP. Cry me a fucking river. That someone shouldn't have been in the middle of the street disrupting the peace then! If you can't handle being maced, tasered, or beaten by police officers... well, don't reap what you can't sow. That's all I have to say. Common sense. You know the consequences of starting riots like these; I don't want to hear anybody crying when it happens to them.
That is what disgusts me about Americans. There's more. But it would take too long to write. And this is where Martial Law comes in. In my opinion, it NEEDS to happen. The laziness, the ungratefulness, the complete and utter BLINDNESS to how much our government actually does for us in comparison to other countries... who are SO much worse off... it's all just gotten out of hand. People are fucking burning flags and shit.
Honestly, I just want order to be restored. I want people to be put in their place and get a reality check. People complain about what they have now and how horrible our government treats us (which is a fucking joke). If Martial Law was utilized... if Obama would be smart JUST THIS ONCE and make that decision... people would be absolutely BEGGING for things to go back to the way they are now. Let's take away ALL of our rights for a while... we'll see how much people complain about the way things are right now then. Sometimes that's what it takes. Sometimes in order for someone to realize what they have, you have to take it all away. It's extreme, but when it gets this out of hand... fuck, I'm sorry, but SOMETHING needs to be done.
I'm not going to lie. I used to be one of the many sheep in the masses before I joined the military. I took shit for granted too. Had I not actually lived under military rule myself, I'd probably be out there with a sign too, just going with other citizens say instead of looking at the facts and accepting things for the way they are. I'd still be a sheep. Which is why it's just absolutely insane to me that there are actually military personnel out there in those crowds.
I can't even begin to explain how much being in the military opened my eyes up to things. Especially during boot camp. Damn, did I realize how much I took for granted. Not just the little things, like family and candy bars. But the big things too, the "rights" people are fighting to "get back" on Wall Street right now... like being able to speak whenever you want and say whatever you want. Like having privacy. Like being able to read your own mail. Like having the freedom to go where you want, whenever you want. Like not having a curfew. Things like that.
And even major things. I'll tell you something personal just to get my point across, because that's how important this issue is to me. While I was in, I was raped by one of the Drill Instructors that lived in my barracks. When I tried to turn him in, I was told to shut up and not say anything, and then I was NJP'ed for making a "false official statement". I wasn't lying. I really was raped. My consequence for trying to get help for myself? Two days on restriction, where I was only allowed to eat bread and water and I could not go anywhere... I couldn't step foot outside of my barracks room... and my pay was taken away for two months. Yes, my entire paycheck. No, I was not reimbursed for any of it.
Once that shit happens to you, you appreciate what you have. Like I said, sometimes it all needs to be taken away in order for you to see what's already right in front of you.
And that's what I assume Martial Law will be like... the same thing as being in the military. We'll have a curfew, we will NOT have the right to say what we want whenever we want to say it, or go where we want whenever we want to go there. Our mail will be monitered by the federal government. People will constantly be afraid of being killed or punished, constantly on edge. Exactly like the military. Fine with me - fear instills discipline. I guarantee you if the government handed over the reigns to the military for a year, Americans would come out of it with a whole different view on their country. They might finally start appreciating the things our government DOES provide for us. They might finally start appreciating the products those Fortune 500 companies' produce. The reason they're Fortune 500 companies to begin with is because people need their products, and so everyone buys them. And yet... people are protesting the companies that produce those same products they use on a daily basis? Why? Where is the logic in that?
I'm more afraid of other American citizens these days than I am of the government. Why? Because this Wall Street business is really getting out of hand... revolutionaries are starting to crawl out of the woodwork and organize movements that are not so peaceful. The protestors themselves are starting to get violent. They're even taking the protest to other countries, which I honestly do not understand at all for the life of me. They don't realize that the government doesn't care. This protest is not going to get anyone what they want. It's going to get Martial Law put into effect, and if it continues the way it is now, it's going to get people killed. Because if Martial Law IS put into effect as a result of this (praying to God that it is), people will blame the government. They'll say the government is out to get us. They won't look at what they've done and realize that THEIR OWN ACTIONS are the cause of anything.
So you see... Americans these days are ruthless. They're quick to point the finger at everyone but themselves. And hey, it's no one's fault but your own if you either A.) didn't vote, or B.) you voted for the wrong candidate for the wrong reasons. (*cough*votingforObamajustbecausehe'sblack*cough*). And that is why this shit scares me. American citizens are causing this country to fall to pieces. NOT the government.
America is in a very deep sleep right now. It's sad. And it sucks, because it's not like there's an anti-Occupy Wall Street movement. So what are people like me supposed to do? Except for write blogs and talk to people who won't listen. People think my way of thinking is the wrong way, the violent way. It's ridiculous. My way of thinking doesn't fight back unless provoked first... and I mean severely provoked. Poked at and prodded at until there is absolutely no other choice left. All I can do is sit on the sidelines and try to get people to wake up and see what they're doing... and wait for my side to start fighting back.
Someday, we aren't going to be able to write these kinds of blogs. I don't know if it will happen tomorrow, or next month, or a few decades from now... but Martial Law IS going to be utilized on a national level at some point. And it won't be the government's fault, it won't be because the government is out to get us or wants to kill us all off like some conspiracy theorists think. It will be because of the actions of AMERICAN CITIZENS... NOT the American government.
Honestly, I just hope people will keep these things in mind when it does happen... and that I'm alive to see it.
