of the last unThatchable dull fourty years...
which ends in the online-shopping-mall wars in the 'East...'
Tit for tat were're going for YOUR online shoppify operationtoo
you got ours, boohooo...
is, bless err.... these Former soviets - my gosh her nose i adore, is almost carbon copied from his, chief hairy, i never realised
Thing is - the worst thing for any "human" is to be told one of two things.
1. that they are raised in some 'paradise' like the so druggy mad river-polluting horrid hay-on-Wye faketown, that imports so called culture now and again and all is well.... when very few of the effnix ever read a book...
i.e. for kids especially to be given a false version of their 'environment'
and number twos..(all i CARE about as 30 years ago i saw through UK forever). that one is from some formerly hell hole, and thus should be treated with fake kid-gloves, even if she saw on her telly how badly we treat our kids and SAID SO! and the whole of society theirs and ours, conspires in the biggest con of all that things are far sweeter elsewhere.(here) . where there is a bit more bling ...
(i must find that Guardian review of the novel about Poles on fruit farms twenty ish years ago that made out that all Poles are such sweet innocent sweeties when all you needed to do was watch how they would spit at gypsies begging in the streets of Warsaw 1997 to know it was a tad wishful thinking, and never mind that innate cultural behaviour - said gypsies famously relocating around 20 years ago to Berlin as it was far safer.... but its the way that novel painted them all as such sweeties and finding such a sweet society that treated them with such sweet undertstanding.... i hear a recent debate about is 'woke' the right word to use, when in fact wuss is the correct one long ago i figured )
when the real understanding (always the key to mentul elf and all that) is that getting on that nana boat one should be careful.... alighting upon some far off shore of 'Arrids and all that....
never mind Owen owen...
Is it not possible that below the shiny surface to have got to be this wealthier than we were... behind the two faces, there may be something far far far darker than even Tito on his moodiest day, may indeed
be?
And also far longer ingrained
by sharp edged putty knife sealing the window
(of all actual natural transparency)
in the actual reality
of the 'cultural DNA'?
Bless em... every single deluded one of them....
(my chronicles of chats with Former Sovs for the last 5ish years do actually tell that tale....some are willing to share....
" we would have been better off staying back there..."
especially if they have younger kids)
Indeed... getting Closer To The Heart...of darkness
blessem...
poor lambs....
and its full circle.... the Military Ind Comp....sellin airy-bombs.. to the absurd little militarised comedian
to smash to smithereens all they really ever knew..
"you got better shops than us... well that just wont...do"
