Tea Bag Metathesiophobia

I was more woeful than a Libertarian looking at his foreclosed home
from the sidewalk.
You are probably asking yourself: What does Metathesiophobia mean?
The first thing you should know about basic psychology is the
difference between fear and phobia. Fear occurs when you realize a
piano, suspended above, is about drop upon your head. You
instinctively move out of the way because you fear for your life, or
at least to avoid serious injury (i.e.: a concussion). That fear is
quite normal. Phobia, on the other hand, is an irrational fear. For
example, you are afraid to walk down a particular street because you
know that a black cat lives in that neighborhood and it very well
might cross your path.
Metathesiophobia is the fear of change. Now, for many decades, I’ve
noticed certain patterns among various social/political groups. WASP
conservatives have always advocated the belief system of social
stagnation. Why is that? What’s so scary about change? Tradition?
Okay—when is tradition social stagnation? There is nothing wrong with
tradition unless it manifests into something like a traditional sex
role (i.e.: the male must be the breadwinner, the protector, and the
one who mows the lawn).
Who is to blame for social stagnation? Is it racial pride? Class
status? Gender? Religion? Or is it a bad personality? Maybe
attribute it to some one astrological sign? It is a combination of
all those elements (except astrology).
Existentially speaking, the physical universe is predicated on
constant change, like the weather, or one’s health. You will always
change your socks or underwear, unless you are antisocial. Night
becomes day, then night again. I know that a lot of humans measure
time and space by their own mortality. Seventy years may be a long
time to us, but it just a brief moment in physical, material
eternity.
So why is there fear of change? Stagnation is perfect for the
insecure human. No worries whatsoever. You have no expectations of
life because you know what will happen next. You don’t need
intellectual curiosity, just common sense. You need only be misoneist
and conform to the rules of the Aryan Plutocracy. Just go with the
flow and you will be rewarded for your docility. While the ruling
class gets their cosmetic surgery and has sex with the upstairs maid,
you are praying to Jesus that your wife doesn’t die of cancer because
your company outsourced your job and you lost your health insurance.
You listen to Right wing propaganda that teaches freedom is sacred and
cannot be violated. The rich propagandists lecture the poor about
self-reliance while the rich pig has the butler tie his shoe. The
propagandists for the rich scare the middle class about how life will
change for the worse if the Left succeeds. If the Progressives win,
then everyone will be in labor camps, like in Cuba. The rich pay
millions, if not billions of dollars, to engrain that fear in our
minds. The Tea Party activists are acting out in fear that has been
programmed into them. What so tragic about this is that they think
they fighting against socialist robots, when they are Corporate
automatons themselves!
Freedom does not exist. It will never exist. Freedom is very
subjective: for some it is not freedom—It is just exclusionary
liberty. Freedom will never exist unless everyone is free! All the
rationales of social Darwinism or stoicism are just smelly shit!
Gratitude for others’ sacrifices does not make a patriot. Unless you
are willing to die for freedom yourself, stop advocating that others
should die for you!
Do you hear me, rich pig!?!
