Trout Fisting In America #49 – Elections

Posted on October 27, 2017 by ScottCreney

In theory it’s the only power any of us actually have, those of us without money, without access to power. No wonder the government wants to keep us from voting (note: all links open in a new tab, b/c there’s a … Continue reading →

Trout Fisting In America #48 – Civility

Posted on October 24, 2017 by ScottCreney

For a nation that implicitly & silently supports mass murder and a white supremacist police state, we sure are sensitive about which words people use. You’d think after all this time people would realize that civility and good manners don’t … Continue reading →

Trout Fisting In America #47 – Racism

Posted on October 20, 2017 by ScottCreney

No not ‘race.’ Or ‘race relations.’ We’re talking about fucking racism, which is real in a way that ‘race’—an after-the-fact concept created to justify enslaving a group of people from a particular continent w/no scientific basis whatsoever since saying someone … Continue reading →

Trout Fisting In America #46 – Israel

Posted on October 20, 2017 by ScottCreney

I always thought the name of the country was an abbreviation for ‘Is real bad idea to occupy Palestine.’ The Israeli occupation and settlement (after settlement) of Palestine is immoral, illegal, and nearly-universally condemned. The only two countries on earth … Continue reading →

Trout Fisting In America #45 – Purity

Posted on October 19, 2017 by ScottCreney

To insist on purity is to insist that people are incapable of growth, incapable of learning from their mistakes. It says that who they are, and who we are, is who we will always be. Self-righteousness is cheap; it costs … Continue reading →

Trout Fisting In America #44 – Vietnam

Posted on October 17, 2017 by ScottCreney

Trout Fisting In America #43 – Consumerism

Posted on October 13, 2017 by ScottCreney

And even your brand new luxury dream car eventually just becomes the thing that you drive around the parking lot in circles, ever-dwindling & numb as you—in your desire to consume, to be the consumer—become the consumed, one more ouroboros … Continue reading →

Trout Fisting In America #42 – The Confederacy

Posted on October 10, 2017 by ScottCreney

You could just sit and laugh at these sad misguided grandaddyfuckers all day long if it weren’t for the power they were able to call upon—the vast & subtle white supremacist violence that already exists within the police, within the … Continue reading →

Trout Fisting In America #41 – The Future

Posted on October 6, 2017 by ScottCreney

Assuming Donald John Trump lives long enough, assuming his death is as tediously drawn out & painful as his own sick life, there is no headline too impossible to imagine. President called someone a nigger? Hey he’s said it before. … Continue reading →

Trout Fisting In America #40 – Chaos

Posted on October 3, 2017 by ScottCreney

Everything is chaos & flux as I write this—even me, the writer. This world is senseless and the stories we tell ourselves, the stories we pay money to watch and/or read, are little more than defense mechanisms, an attempt to … Continue reading →
