Bleating Sheeple

So somebody got shot

As happens every now and again. Which, along with other reptitive events and issues, seems to be the cue for much caterwauling and hand-wringing, arguments and wailing. The usual responses

"nobody cares"
"we need to do something"
"we need to have a________"
"there should be a________"

And people arguing (online) about how much they care and big essays about how bad it is, what the problems are and how it's somebody's fault and blah blah blah.

Bored now.

These people sound like sheep crying for a leader. "help us, tell me what to do" they seem to be saying. "Give me the answer" it sounds like. But life ain't like that. There isn't always a messianic leader figure to come hand out a programme and all the answers or speak clever words to make the pain go away. Sometimes people should stop moaning and looking to somebody else for direction and do it themselves.

Example

"we need after schools programmes and stuff like that to help the kids"

Well go and bloody well set one up then! Newsflash... they exist already. Go and join one if you don't fancy setting it up. Then you can have all the direction you need and contribute. Or send em money or whatever. Not complicated. Frankly if taking the step to either find this out or call somebody is too big an effort then stop the annoying complaining about what there NEEDS TO BE!

"we need an independent media"

We have it in many forms. The question is if you support it or not. Hmmmm lol

Instead of saying "there needs to be a_______" why not go see about how to set up one? Get help and do it. Many folks I know have done just that. They ain't got time for the caterwauling and cyclical recriminations because they're too busy in the mix. Or as I said go and join up something already there.

All the complaining does is contribute to the state of apathy by spreading the false belief that nobody cares and nobody is in the mix which simply isn't true. It's disrespectful imo to people getting busy with community while y'all sheep wail and whine.

BAH!
