What is an anti politician, you ask?

Easy, someone who calls it like they see it, without fear of reprocussion, at the same time being respectful about it.

 

In this day and age, at least in america, politics has been more and more about who can sound smarter and say nothing at the same time. Politicans try their best to not put themselves in a corner, absolutely not stand up for anything, and when being pinned down, do their best to spin the blame to the other side of the political aisle. Most of us have our head up our butts worrying about who miley cyrus twerked and for how many cookies to even pay attention to this. Not that its entirely about miley cyrus, but she is the most recent example of stylistic nothingness.  

In fact, STYLE, is the main reason things have gotten so messed up in america. Everyone worried about how they can look as cool (or hot) as possible doing anything, even going to the legnths of sacrificing the quality of what they do, just to look good doing it.  It comes from everyone's asperation to be famous in some way, shape, or form.  We all would love our 15 minutes of fame, because of the great attention those who are famous in general recieve. It has now gotten to the point where we sacrificing everything for that fame. 

I could go down the list of recent references, but that is far too long of a list so I'll only use three examples to keep it short and make the point.

1. A man in florida kills his wife, writes about it on facebook proudly boasting he killed his wife, showing no remorse.  I used to ask myself, why would someone do such a thing? Given today's culture, I no longer ask myself that question.

2. miley cyrus (since i used her above) twerks with robin thicke on stage at the MTV music video awards. of course we know why she did it, hannah montana just wasnt cutting it anymore, she needed MORE fame than she already had, sacrificing dignity to do it.

3. the countless women of fubar who beg, ALL DAY, EVERY DAY, for bling, bling packs, LE bling. its all an attempt to have nice sparkly things, that dont mean jack when people leave this site.  The things many women will do to get bling and bling packs is just terrible. SOME STRIPPERS have more dignity. Because these women are willing to sacrifice their dignity, they no longer commmand respect, they merely demand it.

I could demand respect too, but i think commmanding respect is a much better option. What is the difference, between demanding respect and commanding respect? another easy one, anyone can DEMAND anything, at any time, for any reason, and not get it.  One who COMMANDS respect, does NOT have to say word, it is afforded to them through their own deeds, given freely to them without an ounce of thought put into it.

 

So here I sit, on one of the most style-heavy websites, a man of substance, the anti-politician, with a mere handful of friends whom i can respect, and given today's culture, its not any better off fubar, than it is ON fubar.
