Alright, so, something I’ve been having it up to here with is just people’s stupid and repetitive fucking grievances, literally, all of those grievances boiling down to “you’re annoying” or “you’re pushy” or “you’re a nag” or “you’re a know-it-all” or “you’re anti-slavery but you’re so annoying about it”. In other words, it’s basically just how J. K. Rowling writes Hermione Granger.

I want to talk today about a movie called “God Bless America”, which is about two people going on a rampage because they think society has degenerated, but in practice, all they really do is kill people who are being kind of rude or they’re fishing for attention.

While the film does try to give the catharsis of shooting damn near every asshole in your path, movies have to be entertaining after all, in the end, you can’t kill them all, and society will just simply step over your body as it was before. And that’s the fate of damn near anyone who can’t take the bug outta their own ass.

See, it’s telling how Frank's first actual murder was a rich girl who’s only crime was being a jerk. That’s all a lot of people’s grievances and fictitious strawmen boil down to at the end of the day, like “Reply Guy” or “Petite Bourgeois” in this case, it’s just a lot of ways to hyperbolically snarl “Ugh, you’re such a jerk! You’re so annoying!”

A part of the reason why this movie is interesting to me, is because it’s essentially the better and more grounded version of whatever it was Joker was trying to be. In real life, the unhinged guy going on a rampage because of society, would probably just be some middle aged man who got fired from his job for leering at a woman. And the second is a teenage girl who thinks she’s edgy and knows everything.

It’s a film that goes against the common, but incorrect sentiment, that we all have violent urges. No, we don’t all want to kill the guy who cut us off in traffic. No, we don’t all want to kill all the rude people we meet in our lives. No, we don’t all have violent urges towards the baby crying on a plane.

You’re just a loser with a gun.

"Society."

Let’s take this as an example. Something I’ve been seeing a lot of, since the 90s, but also since Elon Musk thankfully killed off Twitter in 2022, is a lot of moaning and complaining about computer nerds. They don’t even have to interact with you personally, they just have to exist and for you to see them!

Eww, computer nerds make me feel insecure! Eww, computer nerds make me feel stupid! Eww, computer nerds are using words within my vicinity that I don’t immediately recognize! Eww! Eww! Eww! Eww!

And excuse me for being blunt, I don’t have anything constructive to add to that, other than the fact I’m too confident in myself to feel this way. How the fuck is any of that their problem? Who cares? Get your own fucking hobbies then. How is this a real issue?

The real problem, actually, is that you have the temperament of a 13 year old girl with a negligent mother, just constantly needing to take every moment possible to be the biggest bitch imaginable, to people who never did anything to you, other than being annoying at the absolute worst.

You’re just another loser with a gun.

You’re such a fucking self-absorbed drama queen, a nutcase, who absolutely despises being even the slightest bit inconvenienced, so you’ll exaggerate like the melodramatic little bitch that you are. The call is coming from inside the house, like it always has.

In the end, if you can’t take the chip off your shoulder, society will simply step over you and move on with itself. It will most likely be you who’s explused, and not them. You’re not hurting anyone but yourself at the end of the day. There’s always going to be “the next mutation”, it’s just a fact of life.
