Men With Nuclear Arms. Men! 2022. Acrylic on canvas, 14 x 11"
Sane quote before you read insanity:
A person who has remained a person and not become a thing, cannot help but feel lonely, powerless, isolated in present-day society. He cannot help doubting himself and his own convictions, if not his sanity. He cannot help suffering, even though he can experience moments of joy and clarity that are absent in the life of his “normal” contemporaries. Not rarely will he suffer from neurosis that results from the situation of a sane man living in an insane society, rather than that of the more conventional neurosis of a sick man trying to adapt himself to a sick society.
—Erich Fromm
Please think on this today as your pretend nations pretend that nuclear weapons are pretend poof bombs that little boys play pretend with in the tub. I despise the pretend men who have taken over our inate, collective “love your children” sanity. My nation is rogue and outlaw. It’s national politics are blind white and disgusting. Yesterday I gave a framed painting away for an art auction to raise money for the homeless. Yesterday I gave a framed painting away to raise money for a nature research center. Yesterday a pretendedly elected governmental body unpretendedly stuck a gun up the mouth of my grandchild, then gave away billions of homeless nature dollars to buy weapons for blind white and disgusting men. Men! Men!
I can’t help any of you. You want your pretend enemies? You want to keep propping them up?
Oh my god these monsters! Let us little babies slide under the sheets and close our eyes!
There. That’s how to wake up in the morning and react to a stupid WASP government with nuclear weapons. All I wanted were two small cups of coffee and excited thoughts about my next day on the job that I’m not getting paid for. And the BidenPutinsLockheedMartinGeneralUnderpants play old man white man pee-pee in the tub with all life on earth.
Happy Thursday!
