There’s an expression which I’m not sure is either American or from the Antipodes but it’s “grossing out”, as in “that really grosses me out”. There are even emojis of people throwing up and I call it the deliberate uglification of life. Yesterday I ran a YT on women’s footwear which made that very point about truly ugly, bootlike, very masculine footwear … for ladies.
No one’s saying they can’t wear what they want … torn jeans as if you were a homeless person or a Biafran waif …tramp stamp mutilation, bits of wire skewered through your nose and tongue but let’s be frank … it’s gross. And some people absolutely wallow in it, thinking oooo, my life is so bereft of thrills, it’s so … edgy … innit?
Nope … it’s gross.
Like the garish lycra of bicycle road hoggers for Julia, each of us has things which gross us out or anger us or both … for example, a Damien Hirst statue on a cliff face of a pregnant teen to an Olympics opening or closing ceremony to a Tracy Emin picture, to wind farms blotting the landscape, to brutalism in art, to Helvetica font … its sole purpose is to upset those who appreciate being left alone to their own lives in a largely neutral backdrop.
At my site, I simply will not run gross things and there’s an element of trust here. Various readers have come to expect it’s a reasonably safe space, to use that term, even though we do report, daily, on the “grossities” going on out there.
Taking this word “trust” further … it’s an abused word today … do you implicitly trust the NHS …and the whole issue of trusted sources is alive and kicking … is it for real, where did it come from, is it a crisis actor putting on a performance to cater for saps who want to cry and sink into depression? Or is it actually the unvarnished truth?
This below purports to be the account of a girl abused from the age of four … I for one can’t get my head around that … how any man whatever could do that. I can see him falling for a sassy late teenager of 19 but the sort of grossness she describes, not in a gross, graphic way I hasten to add but just referring to it obliquely, was no different to the type of thing in the Belgian paedo trials or the adrenochrome kids, the Ukrainian child trafficking, no different to Alisha Owens from the 70s … in other words, things on the record.
So, in that sense, even if she is a crisis actress, her script is based on things which did and do happen. Yes, she did Only Fans, sad girl, with the gross males slavering over her, yes she’s been around the block but what does anyone expect? And yes, there will always be such things … look at Tess of the d’Urbervilles.
My greatest concern, with the out and out tranny mutilation, drag filth in libraries, the porn which lost teachers are forcing on kids early now in schools … there was a ten year old boy reading from one of these library books at a school board meeting … this goes way beyond the right to free speech, it completely ignores development ages in kids. These are monsters, these “adults” in schools now.
The key word for me is rampant. For example, a few illegals coming over on boats will always be so … maybe 0.1 of a percent of the population over the course of a year … but not such that a majority of a city is such people twenty years down the track and the whole thing has become a £££££ racket.
Ditto with this girl’s story … no sad one-off but indicative of the malaise swamping us right now.
Look, you want to wallow in grossness? Get a room, don’t visit it on those of us who just want to be left alone. As for these real victims, what to do? Throw money at charities for the admins to pocket?
All through this video, she keeps coming back to “trust”.
Trust is earned, as is respect. Both of them seem to have disappeared as aspirations and are sadly missing from Modern society.
ReplyDeleteIs neutral ideas, trust and respect are important ideas. They work regardless of race or religion. If you respect everyone, you earn their trust. Everyone lives together and is happy. But when you have mistrust and disrespect, society collapses.
