Cernunnos is the Celtic God of wild things

I'm back. And I'm still angry.

I'm angry because these parasites (thank you @AskTheDevil ) know what they are doing. They are fully aware and cognisant of their actions and the ramifications they bring. I'm angry because they are turning a lot of good people into hate machines.

I don't like carrying hate in my heart, it hurts. I believe everyone deserves a second chance and an opportunity to redeem themselves.

1/2

However, these parasites have no intention of changing and, in my eyes, are unredeemable. They've gone too far and there is no way back for them.

I am a gentle man, a loving and caring man and what they have done to me, and others, is unforgiveable.

They have turned me into the person I have tried so hard to not become and I wish nothing but ill and consequence for them.

2/2

@Lavransdattar I hear ya. Mine is too, but I thought brevity was the better part of discretion.

@Tacitus_Kilgore @Lavransdattar

Yeah...my "better off dead" list is MUCH longer

I would willingly trade my life for one of theirs in a heartbeat if I ever got a clear shot at one of them.

Remember in "The Empire Strikes Back where Lando walks Leia & Han into the room with Vader?

Han says nothing but instantly draws and fires in blaster. It doesn't work but he tried.

That would be me if I ever got the shot at some of these treasonous monsters

@AndersonArtwork It's probably to my advantage that I live in Canada and don't hold a passport. That's all I'm gonna say. @Lavransdattar

@gemswinc @Tacitus_Kilgore
I pray that they very suddenly become enlightened, and witness all the import and impact of all their cruelty all at once.

@AskTheDevil As their lives pass before them @Tacitus_Kilgore

@gemswinc @Tacitus_Kilgore The nice person part of me wants to say that if someone wants to redeem themselves, I want to be there to help.

But the lazy, irritable part of me thinks "It would be nice if they got their karmic growth at the end, where I don't have to be on duty for that shift."

@AskTheDevil or when hell freezes over 😉 @Tacitus_Kilgore

^ samsies ♥️ a far greater win for Life, and an apt punishment felt in their soul @AskTheDevil @gemswinc @Tacitus_Kilgore

@Armchaircouch @gemswinc @Tacitus_Kilgore I want them to be better people and become happy and whole. I am an angel, still.

But I also kind of want to punch them in the mouth.

There's more than one kind of angel.

I'm still figuring out this "be a nicer person without taking shit" stuff along with the rest of you.

I hate that they act in a way that makes me wanna choke them.

@Armchaircouch @gemswinc @Tacitus_Kilgore You have no idea how happy it makes me that there's other folks that get it.

That it's possible to be angry at someone because they make you feel like someone who would want to choke them. : p

@AskTheDevil It's a goddamn paradox and it can make you feel hypocritical, but the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Our very lives are at stake. This is not a overblown claim, it's real.

I'll always be caring and empathetic but not to anyone who doesn't earn it. My respect, my loyalty, my sense of morality is not freely given. And there is no "they may in the future' crap either. Shit or get off the pot. @Armchaircouch @gemswinc

@AskTheDevil You can get a 2 for 1 if you get that throat punch technique worked out with @FrankCannon that you were discussing awhile back. 😆 @Armchaircouch @gemswinc @Tacitus_Kilgore

@Ironworker229 😁👍@AskTheDevil @FrankCannon @Armchaircouch @gemswinc

@Ironworker229 @FrankCannon @Armchaircouch @gemswinc @Tacitus_Kilgore

I'm trying so hard to be a nicer person. I really am.

@AskTheDevil Ha, that prompted an internet search. Seems you can't repent? @Ironworker229 @FrankCannon @Armchaircouch @Tacitus_Kilgore

@gemswinc @Ironworker229 @FrankCannon @Armchaircouch @Tacitus_Kilgore

I have _lots_ of practice repenting!

@AskTheDevil I still don'tunderstand why you have to repent. You were only pushing for equal rights. He threw the tantrum.🤷‍♂️@gemswinc @Ironworker229 @FrankCannon @Armchaircouch

@Tacitus_Kilgore @Ironworker229 @FrankCannon @Armchaircouch
I threw some as well.

@AskTheDevil @gemswinc @Tacitus_Kilgore I think of this scene from the Crow, where the bad guy gets to live the pain he caused.

@AverageCitizen 💯 @AskTheDevil @gemswinc

@AverageCitizen @gemswinc @Tacitus_Kilgore Heh. Spouse and I just introduced our boyfriends to it. They hadn't seen it.

💙 @wolfwoman

@LnzyHou 🙏

@LnzyHou @Tacitus_Kilgore I'm in total sympathy. The best we can do is to take all our ill will & channel it into a straight blue vote at the ballot box on Voting Day ... all of us. Then we can sit back & watch as the GOP Nazi's do their worst to try ro screw up fair voting. I've given up waiting for them to realize how evil they gave become. I'm pretty sure rhey just don't care any.ore.

@Tacitus_Kilgore

So now I know........I'm not alone!

@1Firewire No. You're not alone. I wish that none of us felt this way, but I'm tired of keeping my mouth shut. They will never stop so why should we continue holding back?

@Tacitus_Kilgore

They will die, as everyone will. But they have followers. If they die sooner, they become martyrs.

Americans have short attention spans. They try one cult after another. You have to wait for them to tire of these guys. Then wish them dead, when no one cares.

@Tacitus_Kilgore I feel you, 🤗
My comfort is Karma. She can be a real bitch! 🤞

@Tacitus_Kilgore I absolutely feel you, here. I am with you.

I'd say "Get out of my mind!!" but I trust you not to wreck the place.

@AskTheDevil Well thank you.💙 And you're correct, I wouldn't wreck the place. Might move in though.😁

@Tacitus_Kilgore Don't feed the id demons. I've just got them potty-trained.

@AskTheDevil Noted!🤣

@Tacitus_Kilgore I call them parasites on purpose, and I'm happy I'm not the only one.

@Idissent I appreciate that. However, it does not take away my own shame for allowing this hate to latch itself on to me. This is NOT who I am or who I want to be. But here we are.💙

@Tacitus_Kilgore Unsolicited advice? Feel the feelings when they arise, but try not to ruminate... emotions like anger and frustration are like a subway train, only helpful when they keep flowing (but don't do a damn thing for us when they get stuck)

@MediocreTheropod I'm still putting one foot in front of the other, I'm just taking smaller steps. There's a lot of anger and for it to be released all at once would not be good.💙☮🙏

@Tacitus_Kilgore Suppose one could say (about pretty much anything in life) it's all about finding a balance eh? When I feel my frustration rising, I like to look for something that reminds me there is still good out there lest I fall into a feedback loop that reinforces gravitating only toward what I find rage-inducing. Not to ignore the problems but rather to put them into perspective so they don't consume my every waking moment and turn me bitter.

@MediocreTheropod I agree. Sometimes I forget. Thank you very much.

#Humbled
#Grateful

@MediocreTheropod @Tacitus_Kilgore

This is really good advice. I found that my balance improved a LOT after leaving Twitter, the awfulness was constant there. It made me feel like there was no good anymore and whole country needed to burn down. Closing my accounts there felt like waking up from a nightmare.

@nonayadambidnes Similar reaction for me leaving reddit a little over a year ago- turns out when I ventured out from the bigger platforms, there are all sorts of amazing communities around the internet chock-full of wonderful humans :)
