I don’t want peace; I want problems ALWAYS!!!!!!

I don’t want peace; I want problems ALWAYS!!!!!! — a popular meme that originated in the unbelievable genre: African Martial Arts Films.

This particular line appears in the 2017 adaptation of the Mortal Kombat game, from Ghana's Kumawood scene. The line is spoken by Marsuel Hoppe, who plays Shao Kahn, the armored tyrant from the video game. Kumawood productions are typically low-budget and quickly produced.

This line is an absolute declaration of martial arts militancy and the desire to fight even is your opponent is suing for peace.
You want peace? You want peace? I don’t want peace; I want problems ALWAYS!!!!!!

Don’t look back in anger.

Don’t look back in anger — A realization that occurs once one is old enough to realize that what you once called some of the worse moments of your life were actually pretty damn awesome.

All the times you got your heart broken; and, all of the lovers you used to complained about to your friends while imbibing your favorite “complaint inducing drug of choice” were actually some of the greatest people you ever met during the most amazing part of your life.

And actually, your heart wasn’t really even really broken yet. That only happens when facing old age, sickness, and death and watching your friends and frenemies drop like The Ten Little Indians in the now politically incorrect childhood song.

Everything that has come before was like stretching before a long run…

…which feels like a too short of a run when you get to this part of the road. Nostalgia isn’t remembering the past; it’s living in the present as an echo of who you once were.

And if you don’t know what I’m talking about; then don’t worry.

You will.
Don’t look back in anger. There is something worse than a lover who drives you crazy; and that’s having no lover at all. There’s something worse than being catcalled on the street by construction workers; and that being invisible to the people who pass you by. It’s like the man who said: “I used to complain about my missing finger until I met a man who lost his hand.” I used to complain about my yesterdays until I started running out of tomorrows.

The Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood Rule — This rule is similar to The Slipping into Darkness Rule. If you hear any version of the song Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood in a movie, television show, or documentary, it is pointing to an individual in deep thought and torn between two worlds.

Examples of this song being used include:

The Gifted season 1 episode 1
Nobody
Oz season 1 episode 8
Luther season 1 episode 6
Aquarius season 1 episode 13
Snowfall season 1 episode 1
Training Day season 1 episode 12 Part 1
What Happened to Miss Simone
Titans season 3 episode 7
The Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood Rule applies to the use of a version of the song — either The Animals version or the Nina Simone version — used in a television show, documentary, or a movie to portray the protagonist as struggling and being caught between two worlds.

The Nonteflon Don

The Nonteflon Don — Another name for “The Orange Man”, Dolt 45”, better known as the twice impeached failed president Donald J. Trump.

Attempting to follow the examples of mob bosses and oligarchs he admires Trump kept a boastful public profile finally resulting in charges finally stuck to him on Thursday March 30th 2023 — a day America will forever remember.

It remain to be seen whether or not he can “shoot someone of 5th Avenue in broad day light and get away with it”. But, we’ve all ready seen the John “The Teflon Don” Gotti movie and it didn’t end well, and Donald Trump is no John Gotti and he has a coterie of “Sammy the Bull Gravanos” in his camp that could potentially “rat up”.

His Charges were made most ironic because The Nonteflon Don had recently recorded a song with the J6 Prison Choir that was topping the iTunes purchased downloads charts when the announcement of his charges were made public. As the old saying goes: “If you sing with traitors, you’ll end up with charges.”

When asked to respond to Trump’s charges, an exonerated member The Central Park Five responded with a single word:
KARMA!
If John Gotti was “The Teflon Don” then Donald J. Trump is The Nonteflon Don. We have already seen the Teflon Don movie and it didn’t end well for Gotti; and, Trump is no John Gotti — and he has so many potential “Sammy the Bull Gravanos” waiting to flip on him.

I really don’t need no light to see through you

I really don’t need no light to see through you. — A brutal way to tell someone that they are absolutely transparent. This idiom entered popular culture in 1982 as a result of the quite danceable late disco track by the same name sung by vocalist Jeffery Osborne.

A useful insult in an age of MAGA Republicanism.

A more contemporary version of this is insult is the more versatile “I see you” — which can either be an insult or a statement of deep connection and engagement.
When Dolt 45 says that if he’s elected he will be MAGA’s retribution, I’ll just say this: I really don’t need no light to see through you, Donnie.

If you don’t have a seat at the table; you ARE the menu.

If you don’t have a seat at the table; you ARE the menu — the American political reality that proves REPRESENTATION MATTERS!!!!

Another version of this saying is “If you don’t have a seat at the table; then you are on the menu.” Meaning: there are a lot of people who are going to get rights, privileges, and tax cuts at the expense of front line workers and people living on the margins.

This is most easily seen in areas where both gerrymandering and redistricting are used to disenfranchise minority voters.

Another area where this is seen is in the backlash against a woman’s right to choose. As of September 9th 2023, the young women coming of age in my family have fewer reproductive and healthcare options than did the generation that crossed into womanhood ahead of them.

Representation Matters and if you don’t have a seat at the table you are on the menu; indeed, if you don’t have a seat at the table you ARE the menu!
