Good evening, my dear friend, jolly reader of this present post! Happy Wednesday! How are you? Hope you have been okay so far? I am okay... it has been quite an exhausting couple of days, as I have been following the situation in Iran more closely than I'd like, as it turns out. I am not sure how to proceed, even, the news are quite depressing. They talk of dozen thousands slaughtered, and the count grows by the minute. I thought the islamic regime would not take too long to fall, and though in retrospect that may be it, given there has been, in reality, less than a month since the height of the protests began, still, in two days or so, the devil Khomenei has been responsible for 12 thousand dead or so. One can expect that regimes with messianic complex, and gnostic at that too, would be capable of evil deeds, given they would always have the sanction to do so in their twisted minds. But... twelve thousand, or more, and the numbers will grow and grow fast. And it is not a move that can be stopped. If the regime is allowed to breathe, one can predict this to be, so far, a level of political violence akeen to a true genocide. An actual disappearance of a people. I don't know where I stand on this. It is not me on the streets and it would not be. I am not of the area, nor close. I just wish people to be free, have better frames of law and have a society more accepting of free markets. I don't think one should be heavily "encouraged" to wear veils, burkas and hijabs, I find the morality police of that heinous regime to be absurd, specially in a country, Iran, old Persia, that used to be far more modern than it is today. And their impositions entirely artificial, illegitimate as they would be anyway. It is a terrible situation, the one that produced the end of the old Iranian Kingdom, and the imposition of a brutal islamic republic. It was not to be sustained forever, the resentment and division were always there. Now it explodes, it is not a movement that can be stopped, can it be? Should it be? Imagine how many more thousand would perish if this would fail? The Ayatolah praising his god as he gleefully sees so many of his opposition dying. I am tired. I don't want people to suffer such bad position, no one... or anyway, who am I? I am just me, one single individual that vents a lot, whatever I say, it does nto have much weight does it?

What a big, and quite unforgiving world. After talking of the thousands that violently were cut short, how awkward to mention my own personal laments. Loneliness, obsessive compulsive disorder, and this man I used to follow, that has decided I was an inconvenience in his social media life, and as such gave me a "soft block" of sorts. All the contradictory information I hear, about the state of affairs around me, what to do, where, how to get a job, if I should do it, at all, if it is even realist to consider, and how I dread the thought of studying math aimlessly, for applying for a clerk position in a government of this cursed country, Brazil. Not cursed in the same way as Iran, but still in a bad position. 12 thousand dead in Iran, 50 thousand dead at gunshot over gang crimes and cartel violence in this present country, Brazil. I am of course not implying it is the end, the worst of times, armagedom is coming, apocalypse now. I may be on the christian spectrum, but I am not really into THAT catastrophic line of thinking, or at least I avoid adhering to anything close. How arrogant some are, thinking they will be the first to be "ruptured" into heavens, gleefully to be with the Lord. Even my grandma said that while she may be saved, my agnostic mother would not, and I could not if I did not take religion seriously. Exhausting. Every where one looks, lunacy, there is a place for such lunacy. One say that gender is social construct, other say that gender is set in stone by the Lord above, some say that women are men, and others that women cannot read too well, what garbage! I do not subscribe to any of this. I believe in God, but I don't want the apocalypse to happen, not now. I hate social constructivism, but I also hate gender determinism. Why can't people just move on a different path? Ideally, I would suggest classical liberalism, pragmatism and as much freedom as one can take. Some grow cynical, and think no such thing is possible. I am stubborn and I have the defect of naivete though, so I do like my freedom, I value my convenience. I don't like people telling me I should not play The Sims because I am a man. I don't like people telling me I should like this or that because I am a man. Or that I must use pronoums, on the other side of the isle, no and no. What a mess, and by design, socialists have been brewing such chaos for almost two centuries now. They played so many, at times, many times, played me as well.



This is my ranting post, I wish Freedom for Iran, I wish people to stop being socialists, if they can help it. Not because I hate them, I hate their ideas, but them? I weep bitteely for the ones that allow themselves to be lured like rhat. And I hate when it affects me as well. Draining. I don't know, perhaps I wrote enough for a post right now. More than that, I would start actually growing sleepy, which was not my intention but a pleasant side effect of me that cannot sleep too well at times. I should see you again, of course, hope till the weekend. I hope that better news are on its way. We'll see, thank yoh my genuine friend.
