Increasingly sick of the shits, and I’m sure I’m not the only one.

Today I was wishing for a browser that enables me to screen out any US websites and US garbage in general.

Finding they even make me physically shudder these days. Is this an extreme attitude or understandable in the context of the times?

You don’t have to read any content that is not within your interest level. Avoiding the world doesn’t make it go away but how you react to it can change.

There are nice Americans too, be patient.

But yeah, they’re hogging the headlines because of all the nastiness and ugliness currently rampant there. It’s bound to reinforce a general hostility in many minds.

I’m finding that all the commercial stations on my TV are spewing American at me. Even the ABC has way too much of it. So many people I’ve known all my life are increasingly taking on the same unAustralian ways.

We are now a global village and internet villagers, villagers captives of the global running dog American conglomerates who control the internet and us. They trade on the old human condition of mob mentality that they massage with confected outrage and when the number of hits start to slow down and they pique our interest with how fast Sir David Attenborough can reach a million followers on Instagram to keep our dulled eyes on their screens.
We have no time now to sit in a country churchyard and let our imagination ponder the human condition, our ignoble rage is now channelled onto pointless manufactured weedy memes that stifle the flowering of individual endeavour that now blushes unseen and wastes it’s usefulness on deaf and barren crowds of internet sheppel.

isn’t it sort of a contradiction to overly occupy your mind about it, the US, given the large oceans between, entirely different countries so far apart

not that I mind contradictions, I had more than a few with my breakfast, in fact they were there with the first flickers of my eyelids as I woke

I really, really find the use of imperial units in ads quite objectionable. And there’s no quango around to make a complaint to.

America doesn’t exist.

It’s just a fiction invented by the news media to fill up otherwise empty spaces on their news bulletins.

As an empty space filler it has been enormously successful. Without America, the whole news industry would probably collapse in on itself.
