About Lady See En: There’s a cluelessness there that is Much. Hard to explain. The attitude of “oh FUN!” comes from a wacky goofy personality trait. But also, the cluelessness part. Not recognizing reality. In their politics, as well. Of course.
The Haves. If you HAVE a lot, there’s not reason to be truly connected to anything. And the other aspect, which, aside from comfort travel, is a Fear Quotient. Following whatever the media blows up, as Concerning. Believing that yes, its time to quell the protestors by applying federal violence-squads.
“We need to blow it all up and start over again”, she proclaims. That immediately infuriates me. Mainly because this same person will shift the blame of what the current horrible leader is doing, by blaming previous democrats and leaders she conveniently uses as the scape goat. Why is the east wing destroyed? Because Biden let it fall apart, so it had to be torn down. Its all Convenience Beliefs, lazy lack of intellectualism, lack of a connection with what is truly going on. The inequity and suffering of pretty much the majority of the country is absolutely the most foreign thing on the planet to these types. And there would of course be an explanation that this is because of the last president. The great blame-the-previous-leader trick. It IS a trick, and it DOES work well.
About the people who blame past leaders, including the underclass, who listen to whatever the current autocrat spews: Don’t get me wrong, I don’t believe the majority of Underclass USA are whiner complainers. But some… of course… are infuriated the government is not concerned about high costs, high taxes, inability to freely buy enough groceries, make car payments, gas prices, clothes for their kids. Its a fair set of complaints.
But most people just suffer along. They pay bills, build up debt, and dream of not having to struggle. The American Dream isn’t necessarily about becoming filthy rich. Its to be comfortable in their life, with kids, house, family friends etc. To not constantly pinch pennies (now nickels)… to get by. Thats the actual dream. My friend See En, much as I love her, can give me an insta-headache with her mind boggling, off kilter, disconnected-from-reality views. I can’t hobnob with her a lot, at all. She lives with her husband in a complete wealth-and-privilege bubble. I am a recipient of her generosity at times. And other times, its vexing. So be it.
