ramble rn sorry.

having an existential political crisis rn bc of a convo i had at lunch today. once you start listening to stories it's not hard to realize how insidious politics can get even at a very small localized level. at the barangay level there's already shit like hoarding insulin (firsthand account from my grandfather only recently receiving his months worth of insulin) + at the mayoral level you already have political dynasty stories that sound like some mafia type of shit but are Really Real. and some of the horror stories as recent as like, three or four years ago. and we even had our own mayor assassinated just fairly recently! while that info alone isn't enough to dox myself (there's a lot more mayoral/mayoral adjacent assassinations that happen than you would think. i checked) i won't talk abt my proximity to the site but like It's Real. politics is terrifying. sometimes you realize really one of the only ways to incite change is to let the old fuckers finally die off so the power keeping their opposition threatened no longer sticks around and they can finally be replaced in whatever seat of power they used to hold. mahirap patayin ang masasamang damo etc etc. like i don't wanna be cynical but we are kinda fucked.
