The Rantings of an Angry Old Bloke
If I ruled the world…
I’m Bo Beolens and I’m an angry old bloke!…
There is a lot I love about this world… but very little that is made by man. The natural world, no matter how ‘red in tooth and claw’ is balanced and fair compared to the dealing of humanity. We talk about some people acting like animals when we should be saying that, unfortunately they act like men, violently, unfairly, selfishly and with contempt for their fellow humans. (Women may, on average, be less violent, but tend to have all the same sins and just as few virtues as men).
This blog is an outlet for my anger, ire or irritation. Conservatives often lambast the left as operating the ‘politics’ of envy… my view is that the ‘right’ just embody the politics of greed.
I’m hoping that the recent shift of ‘green’ politics to the left with attract more people to vote for it as without green policies there will be nothing to rail at or admire as we are on a steep downward slope to Armageddon!
So, this is my BLOG – a window into my soul or a close up of my bile duct, you decide.
If you agree with me let me know, and, if you have been, thanks for reading this.
Should you wish to become as incensed, depressed or cranky as me, read on…..
About Bo Beolens
I am an old white British bloke with a long history of red and green political leanings.
I love the wild world, my family and food.
I hate too many things to list but for starters: oppression, greed, racism, inherited wealth, privilege, religious fanatics, bankers, drunk drivers, sexism, and people who think that everyone should do what they think is right, even between consenting adults in private!
I also hate the romanticising of the past and putting domestic pets above people.
I don’t like the way things are going… it seems to me that civil society is getting less civil by the second. Selflessness has been replaced by dog-eat-dog, courtesy has disappeared and its everyone for themselves and greed has turned from a sin into a virtue.
Its time we stopped being selfish and stupid and started caring again!
My Values
- Integrity above all else
- Family matters
- Justice should prevail
- Service above self
- Honesty in all dealings
- The population needs to shrink
- The wild world must be protected
