And I'm angry. Yes, downright angry. Because my future - our futures - have been ripped away from us.
I think I'm as angry now as when the referendum results first came through.
Seriously. Because not only is this country going ahead with this f**king stupidity, but people are still insisting that it's a good thing.
Like... what? 'Taking back our country' - what the actual f**k?!
Our country hasn't gone anywhere.
EASTERN EUROPEANS ARE NOT TAKING YOUR JOBS.
REFUGEES ARE NOT TAKING YOUR JOBS.
REFUGEES ARE NOT TAKING YOUR JOBS.
THE F**KING GOVERNMENT IS THE REASON YOU DON'T HAVE A DECENT JOB - THEY KEEP ERODING WORKERS RIGHTS AND WE JUST LET THEM!
REFUGEES AREN'T EVEN EUROPEAN SO I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU THINK THAT'S PART OF THE SAME ISSUE?!
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!
...Ahem. Sorry. But I do feel a little better now. Only a touch. But still.
Yes, maybe I'm sounding a little 'OUT BOYS, OUT!' about all this; but, in perfect honesty, at least that'd be yelling at the right f**king people: the corporations, and the government.
(And yes, I'm def. a lefty socialist - I'm a queer Welsh girl with roots in the Valleys and hippie intellectual parents; it was kind of inevitable, dearest nerdlets.)
I'm tired of all the sh** going down right now. And this just serves to, yet again, prove the point.
Don't worry though, dearest nerdlets, I'm still standing!
I'll fight as much as I can against the stupidity and the hurt (economic hurt, and bigoted prejudice, in particular) that this decision and process has brought.
Because we have to, cariadau. We have to.
And just because we can probably all do with some spirit-lifting right now, here's some cat gifs:
Isn't that better? ;)

As long as you're still standing, you can get through this, Cee! Don't let them get you down!!
ReplyDeleteDamn straight! ;)
Delete*hug* I'm sorry the country is so fucking stupid. Obviously as a liberal American I sympathize SO MUCH RIGHT NOW.
ReplyDeleteYour comment just made me smile *a lot* so that's good! :)
Delete(And the whole world sympathises with the US right now. We're so, so, so sorry.)
Girl, you rage it out. When people mention it to me, I'm still getting angry about it as well. Especially as those who support it feel like they are so justified and think our empire is going to be returning. We all know how bad colonialism was and that it won't be happening again. We are the ones who have caused the refugee crisis. We should be the ones solving it and helping them! Ugh, people >.>
ReplyDeleteI really couldn't agree with you more.
