We, in the United States, are becoming a nation of defenceless pussies. Cock Fighting is no longer allowed and Boxing is considered “brutal”. When did the little girls take over this nation? When did all of America’s Men check their manhood at the door and sit back to WATCH the action instead of participate in it? Fucking ESPN watching Real-Estate tradin’ mangirls.
I am going to Be writing a book/paper (not sure how much research I want to do) on Irish Boxers in New Orleans and New York. In the course of this research (that I just started), I have discovered how much of the fullness of the American Experience we have lost due to lawsuits, the rejection of “fate”, and the feminization of our culture. And it isn’t even the feminization, really, it’s the gentrification, the lack of a real thing to struggle against. World War II destroyed this country, Hitler Won. The Machine we created after The War has eaten us turned us into consuming zombies, sucked damn near all of our individuality out of us, reduced us to fucking institutionalized “men”, trying to lecherously grab our strength from voyuerism. it’s A real pisser.
I’m training to drive a school bus in Florida in one of the Public Schools down here and the whole thing makes me really sad. I am 25 years old, nearly 26 and we weren’t the damnable tattletales that these 4,5,6 graders are. All of them try and throw each other under the wheels of the nearest authority, who is usually me. All the fucking women teachers always speak to the students with the goddamned “institutionalized” speech - a language stripped entirely of cause - all blame put in the passive voice. The speaker/teacher never threatens the students. “It” threatens the students. “It” carries out the consequences. Fights between students are handled in the worst way. When my dad (God rest his soul) was a teacher twenty five years ago and he found two boys fighting, he pulled them aside and kept them aside by him until the end of school. After school, he put 16 oz gloves on the hands of each of these kids and had them fight. The weight of the gloves tired out the boys within about a minute. By the end of the minute, these boys were so drained physically and emotionally, that whatever the hell they were fighting about was forgotten.
Fundamentally the increasing affluence of our nation is destroying us. My wife has long asked my why I regard rich people with such disdain. Their money insulates them from their mistakes and allows them to never deal with the hard issues of life, issues that make ourhands tough and our dantienmen growl. (sorry for the chinese word - we have nothing equivalent in English)
I got into a great argument with a dumbassed white bigot parent of one of the Boys in my kung fu class down here in Nowhere Florida, shithole of Yankee Imperialism, Neo-New Jersey, the Land that Must Be Like Levittown, The Swamp Without Trees, the Last Refuge of The Seminoles Who then Decided that it was Better to Open a Casino than to Resist, the False Italy of America, The Land Where Long Island Comes to Die and all the other names for this godforsaken hurricane magnet. Anyway this asshole starts telling me how he would never live in Brazil. Okay I say, Why? It’s Filthy, It’s not Filthy I say. It has some dirty Cities, but it has others that are beautiful. Then His parrot son says he hates Mexican Culture . Well this just pissed me right off (as I learned all my Spanish from Mexicans, the best man at my wedding is Mexican and all of the greatest conversations of my life have been with Mexicans). This father and son act then stands as ignorant redneck counterpoint to my Catholic Liberal Cosmopolitanism. We probably would Have escalated to killing each other, but for my sifu calming everybody down. What the dumb father-son act doesn’t understand is that the hispanics are going to save us from ourselves and our Gringo Lawsuitism
Goddamn It.
