As many of you know, I write for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution where I am afforded a wonderful editor who not only corrects my many grammatical mistakes, but reels me in when I go a little too harsh on a point. I do not have that luxury here, so if I misplace a semicolon or tell Ben Shapiro to butt-fuck a cactus during a livestream, it’ll just have to stick. And I’m fine with whatever pushback I get from that, and you know why? I truly don’t give a shit anymore.

People have long said that we are living in the most divisive times in our great earth’s existence, and I have always balked at that, retorting that, no, we are not, the internet just makes it seem as such. You think people weren’t divided during the Civil Rights Era? The Jim Crow Era? If Twitter (fuck you, I’m not calling it X) had been around during the great bra burnings, we’d be seeing them titties on full display and there would be a whole sub-genre of people doing reaction videos ranking from worst to first the hippie with the greatest set of knockers. And since I truly don’t give a shit anymore, I’ll admit that I would watch them. Would probably bookmark a few.

I still think I stand by what I say: that things arent getting worse, we are just more aware of them. But for the love of god, y’all, PEOPLE ARE PRAISING ADOLF HITLER PUBLICLY!!

Let me tell y’all something right now.. I grew up in the south, and while a lot of what you have heard about it down here is exaggerated, a great many of it is true. We got some racists. Some regular ole “don’t know no better” racists, some people who don’t think they are racist cause they voted for Clinton but still very much are, and we’ve got some straight up “Just as soon call you the N-word as say hello to you” type racists. It takes all kinds, I reckon.

But lets get one thing straight, when I was a kid down here, even the most Black/Jew/Mexican/Queer-hatin’ son of a bitch you’d ever meet woulda thrown down his last Lucky Strike to whip your God damn ass if you said one redeemable thing about Adolph Fucking Hitler. Our papaws died fighting against this son of a bitch you god damn Bitcoin fucktards, and now you wanna talk about how he had some good ideas? No. I’m sorry. But that whole “we gotta respect everyones views” goes right out the window when you start playing that level of revisionist history.

And because this is where we are in the world, I am resigned to stop giving a shit. There is absolutely nothing I can do. I don’t know if I ever thought there was something I could do, but it is so very clear to me that we are past the point of no return, and the only thing we have control over is to be kind to each other.

Please don’t get me wrong, I’m not gonna all the sudden stop pointing out tyranny when I see it (in a humorous way of course) as it is quite literally my job. I guess what I’m saying is that I’m no longer gonna lose sleep when someone with a Nazi symbol as a profile pic calls me a fag on the internet. As the movie goes: There are some people you just can’t reach.

We are fucked. All we can do is vote. But guess what? The people we vote for don’t even try to win lol. And when they do, they spend all their time reaching across the aisle to shake a fucking Fascist’s hand. I for one am done pretending to believe that anyone in power wants anything to change.

This Country isn’t broken. It’s working exactly how they want it to.

All I can do is be the best Jester I can be for you all. And for me.

Cheers

Corey
