It's a rat

A couple of things disturb me about this report.

The first and most disturbing thing is that it is concrete proof of the monster we have created. It's out of control at so many levels that mere humans should be very afraid.

Two men, "stranded" somewhere killed and ate a rat.

Now similar things have occurred a million times over history. But in this instance, several variables have colluded to bring us insight into how precarious our modern civilisation really is.

The variables?

The two men are "celebrities."

There was a TV crew there to record it.

Both of those are players in a ruse so cleverly orchestrated that millions of people suspend their common sense and tune in to see it every week.

The ruse has one sole purpose: to make money (careful lest we delude ourselves into thinking its purpose is to entertain).

Other money making industries have hijacked the ruse and are cleverly using it for their own purpose (which is also to make money).

And all of these money-making industries have such a stranglehold on society that we are slowly losing our identity.

So the RSPCA is all offended because these guys killed and ate the rat. Well, it seems they are more concerned that it was done on TV than it was actually done.

It's a rat. It's a fucking rat. What if the same guys had caught and gutted a fish? Or cut the head off a snake? Or boiled cockroaches in chocolate and eaten them?

Why, if what they did was SO offensive and illegal, did the camera crew not step in and stop it. If it was, as the RSPCA is saying, done for entertainment, the camera crew should be prosecuted for its participation too.

The RSPCA "didn't have an officer" on site because there was no scheduled animal activity (here's a hint at how orchestrated "reality tv" is). I wonder if the RSPCA provides that facility free of charge. Yeah, right.

There's a code of practice for such things? I wonder how much such a thing cost to construct? Lawyers, consultants, media people, RSPCA . . . I'd be surprised if it come out under seven figures. That's a lot of cash.

I'm so sick and tired of this sort of shite. I'm sick of snivelling liberals parading as moral guardians of the universe. I'm sick and tired of weak kneed politicians bowing down to these power hungry, greedy organisations. I'm sick and tired of the rampant commercialism entrenched in our society, to the point that money, profit, and more money is the ONLY consideration in any equation. I'm sick and tired of special interest groups, like the RSPCA, wielding such power in politics and the way society is structured.

And this is the tip of the iceberg.
