Why I Hate Modern Prose

     The only thing tougher than being a writer sometimes, is being a reader. I’ve had the chance to read some blogs, articles, poems and the like and find those to be pretty well done and in some cases, writing far better than my own. Don’t get me wrong, I still adore books and reading, but the last 10 years have made me really sadden and depressed when it comes to the novel, primarily.

     In no period of human history, short of the 1800s until about the invention of the television set, has the novel been the primary form of a person’s love and adoration, baring the few of us who really enjoy it, to the point our rooms look like Belle’s Library in Beauty and the Beast. The irony here is the amount of people who want to write one at some point in their lives far outnumbers the amount of readers.

     It doesn’t take much to find books in today’s day and age, but the amount isn’t the problem, it’s the prose that is and with that, I am depressed, because with so many more options, there could be so much better writing.
I don’t pretend to be the William Shakespeare of my generation, only with a modicum of luck and ingenuity, I may be able to make such beautiful works myself. That said, I still think most of what is floating around out there is rubbish. It makes it hard as a reviewer sometimes to find things that I would love to write about, when every other book is a 50 Shades of Gray.

     I look at The New York Times bestsellers list and I still see a lot of the same authors adorning it as when I was a child. I’m a 32 year old man, in 6 months I shall be 33. While 33 years on this planet may not be the longest amount of time to have lived, it is long enough to know that it is a problem when I can only come across the same authors, some who have been writing longer than I have been on this planet, on The New York Times bestsellers and wonder why these are the only authors I can come across. When it isn’t the same author’s, sometimes it’s their children. Is there no one new?

     Not a single person on that list doesn’t deserve their success, they merited it, but I can’t help but think of how much that success is partly owned to gauging the work by the amount of money it makes as opposed to the prose. Don’t even get me started on the awards, I don’t believe for a second an award has any meaning anymore. Game of Thrones has a Nebula award, I shit you not. How does something like this happen? Do reviewers not even know how to do their jobs anymore? There once was a time when the critic meant something, they were people who understood their niche in reviewing. They understood beautiful prose and exquisite story telling. Now everyone is a critic, but not a good one. Critics remind me of the age old adage about everyone having a novel in them and in most cases, that is where it should stay, except replace novel with criticism. Being a critic is no longer for the sake of intellectualizing about books anymore, but serves only to exist for one more asshole to attach Stephen King, George R.R.Martin, Ann Rice, J.K. Rowling, Vince Flynn, James Patterson, Dean Kootz, Joe Hill or some other more successful writer than they are for SEO and chase that $0.01 blimp from drawing someone into their blog. It works too! I don’t blame people for doing this, it is human nature, looking to capitalize and make money, but we’re people are struggling over pennies, when most of you couldn’t even be bothered to bend down on the street to pick one up. Irony is when not even 10 years ago, the government seriously considered phasing out the penny, but when the same object is digital, it is gold!

     Writing is hardly the only spectrum to be hit with this, one look at the trends on Youtube and we can see a generic no name rapper attacking a well-established star to get themselves over with the crowd.

     The new age where anyone can now go out and do whatever they wanted hasn’t helped much to alleviate this at all. Now there is so many more options, but who am I going to read? You have to do so much more footwork now a day, because an award is as meaningless as doing household chores, critics have no fucking clue what they’re talking about, they just want to be blow hards for the sake of being blow hards, your average fan with no special knowledge of writing doesn’t know shit from shinola, but they know what they like and with any typical fan they will gush about you from here to Alaska without missing a beat, because of how you made them feel.

     I know having guardians that can decide to can and cannot publish isn’t a great thing for most people, because they too, are all about marketability when it comes to books and each year, we lose out on amazing potential authors who deserved to have their book published, but when the opposite end of the spectrum offers the same set up, are creators and consumers really winning? Is there no happy medium where we can concentrate on beautiful prose and still have the occasional 50 Shades of Gray, instead of attempts to rank in Google searches, monetization, attack artist you once enjoyed, boycott things, frivolously on Twitter, because they threaten you, not because you actually believe in the bullshit you espouse? Just to get that pittance of money? I don’t think so, and to quote Bill Hick’s, “All my heroes are dead!” I’m glad too, because I couldn’t imagine how I might feel if they were alive and doing this shit!

     I’m not free of absolution here, I am just as complicit as anyone, because of my desire to write and communicate my thoughts so they can be understood from a wide audience and you do not have to have a Ph.D to understand my writing. I sold out, a long time ago and I don’t know if I am better or worse off for it.

     After reading Dracula the other night and coming away from it, feeling as I did when I was a kid, just discovering books for the first time, I had this epiphany. It wasn’t even just the book that inspired this piece, it is partially brewing for a while, because of critic’s ineptitude and then there is the fact Twitter has also allowed me to see deeper than any other social media. Looking at random accounts, some with blue check marks, and not for real world success. There are people who have fans, just for being fans. What the fuck is wrong with this world? 20k followers just for enjoying things. Meanwhile, I watch people who have actually worked in Hollywood, with fewer followers than your random blogger and have to wonder to myself, what the fuck! Who would want to write and especially well, when your fans will end up with a better following just for loving you?

     I don’t profess to have all the answers in regards to this, but I do know, I don’t like this new world, one that is championing mediocrity and promoting idiocrasy. Up until now, I wasn’t like a lot of people with nostalgia for the past, because I don’t miss it. I do miss discovering good lit though and that, if anything, is what truly has be nostalgic. I defer to Kylo Ren when he said “Let the past die, it’s the only way to become what you were truly meant to be.” Couldn’t that be at a higher plane than we are now, though?

Boys 2 Men: Sexual Socialism and you!

 I’m tired of weak ass niggas whinin over puss
That don’t belong to them, fuck is wrong with them?
They fuck it up for real niggas like my mans and them
Who get it on on the strength of the hands with them, MAN-DMX

     I’m a misogynist! Granted, not in the traditional sense of the word, but the modern evolution of the term. It used to mean “Hate” of females, with the opposite being misandrist. In modern America, it seems to be a carnality in regards to woman. What can I say, I like tits, pussy and ass and make no qualms on my desire to visually quaff the beauty that is the female form. Albeit, When it comes to hate though, I have plenty reserved but it isn’t based on genitals, skin color or otherwise. I’m misanthropic, which is the antonym of philanthropist. I’m not very fond of our species and I find myself having to sort through the bullshit of your average troglodyte on a daily basis. I can claim no special omniscience, even though I can be perceived that way. I merely pay attention, imbibe on the libations that are the words of intelligent authors before myself and through due diligence of thinking, fact checking or more, to the best of my ability, be able to draw a conclusion with what is available.

     What I don’t tend to understand is this weird return to a time when “adult men” were waited on, hand and foot, by a woman, simply because. There is something emotionally stunted with it and I cannot wrap my mind around being ok with the equivalent of a mother, whom is also my sex partner. Never mind Freud and psychoanalysis on such, just the very idea that impinges on the fabric of my being.

     I know I’m being judgmental here and I am ok with that, in fact, that is my desire, to judge thusly those imbecilic, vacuous and insipid “humans” that are into this inane idea of perpetual adolescent and a weird Oedipus complex they need to work out with a shrink.

     Now, anyone who wishes to work out whatever arrangement they desire, is ultimately up to them. I’m not one to talk, because a lot of what I enjoy could be taken out of context. Here though, that isn’t what I am doing. It is the idea, concept, and through having listened to braindead people who enjoy this abject bullshit.

     Men and woman were always meant to be a team, working together, not a child with a mommy watching over the dullard. I believe that toxic masculinity is a positive thing. A man being independent, educated, pulling ones weight on the team and ultimately bringing something to the table is a must. The same must go for woman, because what good is a childlike woman for an independent man?

     Now, I write this in part, due to the insanity of InCels in the modern age. The repugnant concept that anything but natural selection will do is beyond me and incomprehensible to a thinking brain, which, if you’re reading this, you most likely are! The pedestrian brick a brac of internet troll dwellings are strung with vitriolic attacks about woman owing this idiots some gash, is enough to consider forcible sterilization at best and turning them into eunuchs at worst. The entitlement is strong and attacks at “Chads” and “Stacy” types spills across the digital landscape with the same vigor as an impotent, spurting a tad bit pre-cum, overly excited that his penis is slightly functional still.

     I have never had an issue with getting some pussy when I want some. It is quite simple, yet this pariahs complain and complain, never taking personal responsibility for themselves, and bitch that the government should give them free cunt. What in the great blue fuck, is all I can muster at these types! Sexual socialism and the redistribution of pussy. Even a double face palm is an understatement in an attempt at expression of unbearable dismay.

     Now, while I undoubtedly believe that prostitution should be legal, since a woman has the right to sell what she can give away for free and putting woman in jail for it is absurd. What I cannot agree to government subsidized sexual deviancy, in regards to woman being given to men, because they cannot get vagina themselves. Not only would we be allowing horrible genetics to breed itself into society, continuing to damn the genepool with inferior specimen, but we’re not teaching them how to be self-sufficient adults.

     These morons lack the capacity to be self-critical and reflect in order to do better in the world. It is always someone else’s fault. Now, I know some InCel men critique their looks and obsess about it like a woman looking at her thighs in a mirror, after a slice of pizza, because God forbid they indulge in a decant treat, least the bottom of the barrel cuckhold no longer wants to stick his microdick in her twat for copulatory actions.

     When I was a child, my middle-school was rife with sexual assault. I favored older woman, anyways, not prepubescent girls. Regardless, I didn’t indulge myself in such cuckoldry. Men are born to be douchebags, it gets us tang and I brazen do whatever it takes to enjoy the fruit of her loins, but Sexual assault is the hallmark of inferior genetics, using such as a reproductive strategy in an attempt to sire more progeny that will go on to cuck the species through horrible violent, entitle outburst at the hands of InCel tyranny as they attempt to install a patriarchy of TIMMAYS and engage in, what Nabokov called in Lolita, a parody of incest.

     Unlike the beta bitch of yore, this type was excessively groomed from day one to grow up to be the entitled little cock sucking faggots they are. The big bad world showed them they aren’t special little fuckers and they’re pissed about their overall banality. Unlike the old beta bitches, they’re also aggressive and will kill innocents over their lack of penile penetration into hot, juicy, cunt. Hey, don’t fret, you can always fuck a piece of lasagna, not like they could tell the difference anyways.

     One of the worst things is the intensity of the hatred for woman doing anything sexual at all and the queer ideas these ignorant assholes come up with. The idea that every woman is getting gang-fucked by 10 to 15 chads. If they are, kudos to those woman for being able to get their boxes fucked out like that and still make it into work the next day. It should be common knowledge by now that men who think every chick is having porn star style sex is normally of a lower I.Q. strata. Also, woman are very unlikely to be into such, since it would be bad reproduction strategy for them.

     Speaking of horrible reproduction strategies, the idea that woman are out their seeking polygamous lifestyles. This couldn’t be further from the truth and here is why: woman look for a man who is fit for reproduction. During times of income inequity, woman will seek out whom are superior, but the difference is, smarter woman, will be more likely to share a man with other woman, because it makes more sense for them to allow a man to have more partners than it does for him to bugger the fuck off. Given the average I.Q. regardless of sex, race or anything else is about 100, I highly doubt too many of these woman are making mini Huge Heffner’s out of the local chads, even once they get a taste of that sexy, sexy chad spunk. Mmmmm, Chris Hemsworth!*Homer Simpson drool* I digress, but a slight interjection on Thor’s huskiness was much needed. That said, those saying that return to more monogamous ways will end the bullshit with Incels, because then woman will have to settle for one of them, settle down and just like yesteryear, all will be good. Except for one thing, we still live in a predominately monogamous society, there isn’t a million wannabe Hue Heffners with harems out there and such a feat will be few and far between.

     Perhaps maybe the reasons these guys don’t get laid is just a blatant and horrible ignorance to the females of our species? I don’t know, but accusing every chick of being a Friday night episode of Debbie Does Dallas on Chaturbate.com isn’t really a way to get your nuts off. Maybe try treating them like people that would be a start too! Also, the THOT shit as denigration for wearing a dress and man-spreading herself is dumb. It is simple jealously of being more secure in their sexuality. If you’re a woman and want to show off ya twat, please do! No amount of pussy ever gets old! In fact, I encourage topless’ on the beach or anything else that will trigger these abnormal snowflakes into hysterical fits of rage quitting on Reddit and other websites. Just do it for the lulz!

Social Credit and Politics

Social Credit

   Ever since I was a young man, I desired to see a better overall system when it came to politics. One that couldn’t be abuse, didn’t impact the lives of innocents because of low information voters and were we didn’t have to argue for the better part of a decade to see gay marriage legalized. I envision a world of objective value placed on an individual’s actions and where saying “Yee-Haw” like Howard Dean did during the 2004 election, didn’t disqualify you, because of your passion on stage. Fast forward to 2018 and China is implementing a system that is roughly what I had conceived in my own mind, a social credit score. While a lot of people are visible upset, siting its Orwellian nature, I submit to you that it isn’t a fascist system, but just typical human nature, now give a quantified score, objectively, instead of being based in subjective criteria. While some tweaks would be needed, since I don’t think someone’s Twitter account should destroy them or bar them, I know for a fact that it would be a far greater system overall as it has been the American system for decades. Consider this, a felony wrap makes it harder to get jobs, because most felonies are harden and horrible crimes, think rape or murder. Someone is put into prison and serves out their sentence and then is, sometimes, allowed back into the general populace. In school, when you did something bad, you got detention, same thing as doing time, but on a lesser scale. People choose not to fraternize with people they don’t like, we all do it, on both sides, as we’re just not going to get along with everyone we meet and that is ok.

   Now, while I don’t think a prisoner that has served his time should be able to kick back and collect a government check by being unemployable, I do think they should be restricted to the jobs they’re ultimately allowed to have. Who wants a rapist serving food, when they could be doing blue collar labor?

    The sex offender registry is already similar to the social currency that China is using as well. Any candidate for a school job is background checked to ensure you’re not hiring felons. Woman even choose the mates they want to breed with through a social desirability system. So why not have a social credit score that could do the same thing for politics?

    Here is how it would look, we phase out voting and institute a credit ranking. The ranking is reflective on hard work you’ve put into your community. You send evidence into an objective body, like if you posted a pic of helping the homeless at a soup kitchen on Facebook. Instead of likes, you get points and those points give you access to further help your community by becoming a politician. The position you gained is based on what you do, local, nationally, federally. So let’s say you’re like Corey Booker and you ran into a fire to save a civilian, risking your life would garner you something like a million points. Who does that in today’s day and age? That is deserving of representing our country at a higher stage. Now, if you just picked up litter and helped the homeless in your municipal, which at best, would allow you to be city councilor. No different from work, school or life, you’re going to get out what effort you put in and rewarded, justly for your effort. Aggressive pursuit of the goals of helping, genuinely, benefits more involved than just straight politicking. No more minor scandals would matter, just Twitter is just that, Twitter. Anyone of any background could be elected.

    Imagine how this could work in other fields, where a porn star could retire and work a quiet job without being chided for his or her past. The objectivity of such could revolutionize the world and strengthen our country.

    Now, my idea isn’t without flaws, as there would have to be new safe guards in place to protect citizens. There would have to be a better way to create and remove law. Social conservatism would need to be prevented, so no rouges could jack the system and prevent things like Roe v Wade, Gay marriage or anything else for that matter from being overturned.

    Life could get on and we could all start living our lives. No more political bickering, no more stupid boycott hashtags, no more human bias against people of color, sexuality or otherwise. No victim-hood about being kept down by fake archys of any kind. Truly the best candidates would shine through and be able to get out of life what they put in. While not perfect at the moment,a world steeped in objectivity, fact and most importantly, merit, is in my mind, to borrow from TED talks, and idea worth sharing.
