hobos, tramps, & bums

Amongst the homeless, there's a hierarchy~hobos will work, tramps only if they feel like it, & bums, not at all, ever.

I've met lots of hobos, tramps, & bums & was very surprised that they classify themselves differently!

Traffic Calming Measure

This is something that happens in supermarkets; a two-seater with a trolley is wandering slowly and aimlessly down the aisles with a queue of other customers behind them. They seem apathetic and prepared to tolerate the slow progress, none of them apparently capable of saying “Excuse me” or “Can I just get by” or even “Get out of the way you fat, useless lump of shit!”

I went to the supermarket to pick up some food but didn’t bother, the place was full of traffic calming measures.

Traditional Aristocracy

It is a regime, a transcendental, mythic, metaphysical, and spiritual bond in which rulers embody superhuman types as a telos, based on spiritual transcendence, hierarchy, authority, discipline, courage, honor, loyalty, fidelity, temperance, abnegation, virtue, wisdom, symbols, asceticism , anagoge and heroism. Consequently, the intrinsic integral development of its members (suum cuique). Something similar to ancient wisdom, myths, epics and spiritual traditions.

Among its main concepts are the fierce opposition to the centralized Modern State, the French Revolution and the consequent Liberal Bourgeois State, and its evils: Anarchism, Liberalism, Fascism, Populism, Communism, Marxism, Socialism, Nationalism, Modernism, Representative Democracy, Capitalism, Progressism, Totalitarianism, Humanism, Secular State, Statism, Positivism, Freemasonry, anti-right-left dichotomy, mass media, consumerism, materialism, darwinism, rationalism, anti-system, anti-republican, feminism, human rights, technocracy, gay rights, ecumenism, ideologies, globalization, militant atheism and abortion. He is skeptical of science, technology, organized religions and economics.

Traditional Aristocracy differs mainly from the liberal bourgeois and modern oligarchy, as it is based on transcendence rather than immanence.

Train Whistle

Train Whistle — the new “dog whistle”. The current idiom “saying the quiet part out loud” points to the idea that a new term must be used to discuss impolite political discourse. Dogs can her at a frequency that humans cannot; so, the old idiom “dog whistle” pointed to a subtle statement.

Well, in 2023, both irony and subtlety are dead hence the new term “Train Whistle. If you can’t hear you are deaf.

Visiting insurrection prisoners on the eve of the 30th anniversary of the Waco Texas standoff; scheduling a Republican Presidential rally in Waco Texas on the anniversary; and Trump’s proclamation that he is “THE RETRIBUTION” of the Republican Party and MAGA; Trump’s threatening doom and destruction if indicted — this — collectively — isn’t a dog whistle it’s a Train Whistle.

It’s in your face; and, there is no more “quite part” to say out loud. IT’S ALL OUT LOUD IN THE RANGE OF HUMAN HEARING!!!!!!

The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise

A story that the Jedi would not tell you.

'Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic he could save others from death, but not himself.' - Sheev Palpatine
