5. I am cleaning up my journal for the new year

It is not that I disagree with or ashamed of it.

But I am trying to serious reevaluate one’s behaviors and actions. I agree with most things I post and I am not ashamed of them.

But who cares what I think? I take action as needed. But editorializing pompously doesn’t fit. Nor does self exposure. Nor do streams of consciousness

It is like one of those guys (it is usually men - huge fan of that gender in its most aggressive form and its mimics) who has nothing to say but keeps on talking.

Steven Pinker comes to mind. Can’t stand that guy.

And while I have silent solidarity/empathy etc. that is unsaid. It is icky and sugary when said and useless. Who can it help?
So that should also go.

I feel a bit sad that all my vicious trashing of various totally random creeps will go in the clean up.

The vicious trashing - that part fits..it fulfils a function as not enough people trash pompous creeps.

It is the pontification that doesn’t. Why would I say stuff that other people say and so much better? It is redundant.

So that was a social service. But because of the pompous pontification and icky sugar, the useful trashing also has to go.


A tragedy really ;-/.
Actually…it is 76 pages. Okay thats too much work. Oh well. At least the tributes to various creeps shall stand.

I am a soldier and a patriot 🫡.
