CATS & THEIR ROLE IN OUR DOWNFALL

I first realised this early in the pandemic. Remember when it was terrifying? When we were all going to die? Well I heard that humans were hoarding Toilet Paper ?! So off up to the shop with me. Nobody loves a good hoard better than this guy. Down to the last aisle. The Toilet Paper aisle.

Empty. A full aisle. With just one little old lady

standing in the middle of it staring up at all the no Toilet Paper and sobbing softly into her hanky. A hanky that I presume 'Seen Things' a hanky ain't s'possed to see later that same day.

BUT back one aisle? The second last aisle. The Cat Food aisle. Chockers full of colourful boxes full of the finest cat food money could buy. No shortage there. We couldn't provide a bit of extra soft Rainforest to wipe our selves but Tiddles was sorted. Absolutely jammed. And every fish the ocean could offer.

It wouldn't take long to write a list of all the people in history that made a significant difference. But most of us won't do damage either.

But the ones that do damage? They don't work alone. Very hard for one man or woman to go out and deplete vital resources or make the sea a junk soup or change the temperature of the planet.

It's not one man or woman. It's one man or woman with most peoples help.

Poor old Hitler for example. For all the world to see he was an obnoxious cold hearted mean little prick. You wouldn't help him with his groceries never mind help him do the damage he did. Yet we helped. We helped with gusto! We decided YES lets pitch in to team Hitler! How about that? He put on a big show and we do love a big show. Must be right, look at the show he's got on. Costumes, symbols, shouting, jesus he's a passionate little bastard isn't he?

Seems angry at us. There's the problem. We respect and respond really well if we think someone is angry at us. Basic message - I'm looking pretty and I'm angry with you, what are you going to do to make me love you?

Knew how to work a crowd did Hitlereen. But at least he was one bloke. Sort him out and the rest of the snake dies. Well except for the Neo Nazi Party in Ohio. And hundreds of others worldwide. I guess it's a bit like an 80s revival. Like really tense

Kajagoogoo fans.

But how about the faceless ones that are getting some real damage done. You'd imagine I was referring to Giant Corporate entities who pay less tax than me and have no recognisable responsible face but who are reeking havoc with our fragile place of residence. And lets be real Elon, you aint fucking going anywhere else you bullshitter. Try to save the soil with the money youre wasting. Make yourself useful.

Who's working the crowd today that we don't know

of ? Well we don't know 'em do we. I certainly don't. And even if you pinpoint the head of an entity doing damage he will be stepped down with a huge redundancy and they'll change the name of the whole thing. So who's responsible? I don't know.

There's no one to 'out' or 'shame' in the hope that the rest of the snake will die.

Or isn't there?

The Shareholders are individuals. And you're a shareholder. So you're the solution?

Tadaaaaaaaaah! You're welcome. Up you get.

NO! WRONG.

Tuna? Have you ever seen how majestic a tuna is? Two meters long. Regal. And it takes full grown men in enormous boats with dolpin killing nets to work in the toughest of environments for weeks at a time to get that tuna in those boxes. Every seen a cat working on trawler? Why?

We just want them to like us.
