been noting what a great medium for truth comedy is. saying stuff straight will never work, people at large being so fixed in their ways, resistant to change, fearful of the unknown. resistance is automatic and lethal, if pushed hard enough. but if you can pass yourself off as an utter joke, if it's your job to point out the ridiculous and the inconsistent in society for the parties concerned themselves to see but not really see, then you can reveal absolutely everything while ostensibly revealing nothing at all.
it's an ancient principle, 'course. just remember the court jester (aka the Fool) in ol' Willy Shakes' plays, also the Greeks...but if I remember correctly, even the Fool can go so far as to get himself hanged...
personally, do find much truth in seemingly contradictory or paradoxical statements, which oddly enough often appeal to a human sense of humor. brings us back to the function of a sense of humor? coping mechanism for evolved consciousness, consciousness that comprehends good and evil, consciousness that sees how lacking thereof the world is, and so we laugh at the ludicrousness of it all, relieves tension, alleviates depressive symptoms, pumps you up, banish grim thoughts and live another day, laugh another laugh, nature's psychic analgesic...
the only way to fully engage with reality is to laugh in the bitter face of it...

Yeah, don't know what my reaction is supposed to be either.
lmao @ video
but, oh yeah, best believe people're still mad about the Alamo, Guadalupe-Hidalgo, Bay of Pigs, NAFTA, ad infinitum...least here in California, it's pretty common to see mexican flags flying in people's backyards and such. many feel completely justified on the dual grounds that something like 33% of american soil was stolen from mexico, as well as phenotypic/historic nativeness to the continent.
while in college, was approached by at least one latin american nationalist/SJW of some kind, seemed to be trying to recruit me into the movement. heard him speak a few times, seemed completely in favor of invasion of the US of A by undocumented immigrants. dislike dogma and dislike groupthink, so kept my distance. far as I know, West is much to blame for fact that virtually everywhere else is in such turmoil, so perhaps such movements are ultimately righteous. often think of myself as spineless for never making up mind to support any cause, but it's just how my mind works. I learned a long time ago: im an analyst, not a hero.
when it comes down to it, for better or worse, I am quite attached to this country/culture. is it a fault? certainly cultural conditioning. learning to see past a lifetime of deceptions is the task of a lifetime. for time being, can nurture wispy notions of a better world, where none of this matters or is real. without doubt, would not want to live in, verbatim (courtesy of the charming ann coulter), "a third world hellhole."
