Summary

"You touch a kid, you're supposed to die. Straight up. You rape a woman, you're supposed to die. Straight up." - Kevin Gates

First Coffee Thoughts (previously under “Musings” and “CoSo”) are blog versions of my #FirstCoffeeThoughts and #FCT multi-thread posts on CounterSocial. These are here for posterity and also to make them easier for people to read at a later time should they wish to.

#FirstCoffeeThoughts

The word is “evil”.

That’s the word you’re looking for. That’s the word you should be using.

what is bad; sin, wickedness; anything that causes injury, morally or physically. bad, vicious, ill, wicked, ugly.

It has nothing to do with God.

God is a concept. Evil is reality.

I think people really just have no idea what to do when they are confronted with actual evil.

People have been so conditioned on films and fantasy about what evil is or looks like or they’re so psychotic and sadistic that they watch serial killer shows over their morning coffee … they don’t know what to do when actual evil is right in front them.

I see laughter. I see rage. I see a lot of things that indicate there is no actual plan and never was on how to deal with evil.

“Do the right thing …”

Who are you talking to?

“What is wrong with you?”

Who are you asking?

“Do you think this is a game?”

Are you serious?

Exactly what do you think these people are? These people who are without souls. These men and women who sold, ate, and abused children? You’re telling them to do the right thing? You’re expecting them to CARE?

You people are utterly delusional.
Wake the fuck up.

I’ll tell you something …

When I was getting switch whipped as a child … and my skin was bleeding and I was experiencing a pain like you can’t begin to imagine unless you’ve actually had it done … I was not asking such ridiculous questions nor would I ever expect answers.

When you look into a face like that … into eyes like that … when you are on the receiving end of actual madness, there are no questions to ask.

Do what’s right? What a delusional thing to suggest.

You’re trying to appeal to something that doesn’t exist.

I think people really don’t have any clue what they are looking at.

I don’t think people can legitimately conceive of the evil that is running this empire.

White folks ATE Black slaves. They used their skin for purses and furniture … and somehow you STILL don’t understand what evil is? They threw PARTIES and PICNICS beneath men who they had HUNG FROM TREES … and you STILL don’t understand what evil is?

Y’all are crazy AF.

If you read that and you STILL don’t understand what evil is after that … you’re choosing NOT TO.

If you can hang a person from a tree simply because of the color of their skin and setup a picnic blanket beneath the CORPSE and play games with your children and SMILE and take PHOTOS with the body … then you are absolutely fucking evil and you are absolutely descended from evil.

DEAL WITH IT.

At some point I legit have to wonder if every single person who doesn’t understand what is going on is simply completely stupid or so scared out of their minds that they don’t know how to react.

People have no clue how to deal with actual legit evil.
That is becoming very, very clear.

I wouldn’t wish abuse and torment and pain on ANYONE but apparently those of us who have experienced evil are the only ones who know how to see it for what it is.

The WILLFUL delusion in this country is mindblowing.

When actual evil is sitting across from you smiling and laughing in your face about atrocities and horrible abuses … people have absolutely no response except to rage and demand … what? That evil somehow develop a conscience? It’s sad … it really is.

‘The amount of privilege and placation (is that a word?) that has engulfed this country results in it having no ability to truly recognize evil when they see it … and to only heave suggestions of decency at it.

There is not one SHRED of a soul behind that woman’s eyes.

There is not one SHRED of soul in the shells of the men who sold, ate, and abused CHILDREN.

There is absolutely not one SHRED of what you expect to be there … or want to be there … or wish was there.

You need to seriously wake the fuck up. You need to get a grip and get a clue and stop thinking this is some Netflix movie …

These
people
are
evil.

Your friends, your family, your neighbors, and your coworkers … are too.

Evil is what takes the lives of other people without even a second thought or moment of hesitation.

Evil is what shoots people in the face while filming it.

Evil is what kneels on the necks of people until they suffocate and die in front of millions streaming live.

Evil is what willfully destroys communities and tries to ensure that people who are sick or old die to make room for others.

Evil is what hurts children.

Evil is what rapes and kills women every 28 seconds in this country.

Evil lives next door to you.

Evil is in the cubicle next to you.

Evil is sitting at your kitchen table with you.

Evil is raising children.

Evil is destroying lives EVERY MINUTE OF THE DAY.

If you really are only just realizing that now … you have been CHOOSING your whole life to ignore FACTS and REALITY.

The time for that nonsense is over.

Evil is in control of every aspect of your lives and you have absolutely no plan of what to do about it.

That is by design.

Evil is not intangible or incomprehensible.

Evil is not existential.

It’s your neighbor, your coworker, your FAMILY MEMBERS, your boss, even your friends …

It’s not just those who DO evil but also those who endorse it, ignore it, and pretend it doesn’t exist.

It’s those who VOTE for it.
It’s those who tell you you’re overreacting when you call it out.

Evil is everywhere.

It’s not FICTIONAL.
Evil is very real.

Stop being naive.
Stop expecting it to CHANGE.

You can’t appeal to EVIL.

If you think calling people EVIL is “too much” … then YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.

You’re so focused on trying to find NICE words for things. You’re so focused on trying to make concepts COMFORTABLE and PALATEABLE. You have no ability to recognize and call things out for what they are.

People are evil.
Your parents can be evil.
Your friends can be evil.

And more people than you realize are capable of great evil … just by turning a blind eye to it.

Evil is real and it’s been winning a long time because most people refuse to call it by name.

Use the right words.
Call things what they are.

These people aren’t disturbed, they aren’t mentally ill, they aren’t “hurting”, they aren’t in need of therapy …

They
are
evil.

I honestly think it’s so difficult because most of you have been brainwashed and groomed to think evil didn’t look like you …

But it absolutely fucking does look just like you …

That is what people are having such a hard time with now. It’s not the brown folks, the Black bodies … it’s y’all …

It’s ALWAYS been y’all …

And now you have to see what everyone else has been seeing for generations and find a way to reckon with it.

Why is the truth of the world so terrifying to people?
Because they feel like fools who have allowed themselves to be brainwashed and groomed into giving away most of their lives to greedy psychopaths …
What do you do when all of your delusions are gone? What do you do when you can’t UNSEE something about the world that you are trapped in?
The truth doesn’t set you free, it traps you in a prison of new reality.
Elaine Barlow
You touch a kid, you’re supposed to die. Straight up. You rape a woman, you’re supposed to die. Straight up.
Kevin Gates

I 100% agree with Kevin and more people need to because the EVIL doesn’t just change it’s mind when you try to appeal to it’s moral side. It doesn’t have one.

No one knows how to deal with pure evil.

People are standing around trying to throw rules out but they aren’t willing to do what needs to be done.

These people cannot be healed, fixed, or persuaded. They are literal monsters who eat people for fun, kill people for amusement, and let people suffer for money.

I look around and see a lot of people who don’t realize that living beneath the U.S. Empire IS the most abusive relationship they’ve been in for most of their lives.

Many people behave like abuse victims who have been so gaslit, manipulated, and brainwashed by their oppressors that they can see nothing except what they have been groomed to see.

So they cannot bring themselves to punish those who deserve it even though they do monstrous things.

You’ve been groomed.

Groomed by man-made religion (one of the BIGGEST culprits of doing horrendous and monstrous things to children) and groomed by your brainwashed parents and previous generations who were themselves brainwashed by nonsense and propaganda … the cycle goes on and on and on.

I think only abuse victims recognize abuse in it’s most nefarious forms … we feel it in our bodies … we recognize the tone, the feel, the words of abusive people.

Y’all need to wake up.
Seriously.

All the privilege.
All the propaganda.
All the absolute laziness of this country has created an entire population of people completely ill equipped to fight back actual evil.

It’s BY DESIGN.

And everyone has fallen for the same lies and nonsense.

Everyone has been made into these mindless, thoughtless, dysregulated people who put more effort into fighting bots on social media than actually doing what needs to be done.

It’s all BY DESIGN.

Rules are only upheld by people who WANT to uphold them.

Rules like “Don’t kill and eat children.” are only going to be followed by people who WANT to follow them …

What about the people that don’t want to follow those rules. What about the people who feel the rules don’t apply to them. What about people who have no souls or who have brains that are so malformed that they cannot feel empathy, remorse, or guilt.

You expect the rules to even matter at that point?

Are you that naive?

There is absolutely NOTHING keeping someone (mostly men) from killing, raping, eating … or doing whatever other monstrous things they want to do.

There are no real consequences to anyone murdering someone in cold blood except what … JAIL?

What monster cares about jail? What monster cares about the death penalty if they don’t value any life including their own?

This is the first time many people are realizing that psychopaths exist beyond what you passively watch on Netflix …

What do you do in the face of absolute evil that sees your rules and laws as toilet paper to wipe their asses with?

They are running businesses, they are ignoring poorly upheld rules and laws, they are in charge of everything you do and own … they are in the highest halls of power and have been manipulating and controlling you for your entire life.

This is the closest we will ever get to CONSENSUS REALITY.

And the fact is that most of the population has no idea what to do about it …

In the world of Lazarus there is the wealthy and then there is Waste. In 2025, in the United States, I am considered Waste and reading a comic about the brutal dislike, disregard, and destruction of Waste is too difficult.
