The Illusion of Time & The Greatest Scam Ever Pulled

Time. The biggest lie ever told. A made-up construct that we, in this so-called modern society, have agreed upon—another set of arbitrary rules dictating our lives. We move through the world under the weight of schedules, deadlines, and the false notion of productivity, all to serve a system that was never designed for us to thrive. The greatest scam? America and its government!

We are made to be slaves. Not in the way my ancestors were—though we all know incarceration is just slavery repackaged for Black and Brown bodies—but in the way we are conditioned to accept a life of endless labor, generational poverty, and compliance. Where did society go wrong? Was it ever right? No. No, it was never right.

America’s so-called “forefathers” were nothing more than violent men who believed in enslavement, rape, cannibalism, murder, kidnapping, human trafficking, sex trafficking, racketeering—the list goes on. This land was stolen from Indigenous peoples and then poisoned with Europe’s finest trash. And by finest, I mean the most unprepared, desperate, and reckless of their kind—people who lacked even the basic knowledge to survive in the environment they sought to conquer. Clowns.

And yet, here we are, centuries later, still marching along to the same oppressive rhythms. As a member of the middle class—more accurately, the lower middle class—I find it increasingly unnerving how we’ve all agreed to live like this. To work until we die, with nothing to show for it. No generational wealth. No real ownership. Meanwhile, the ones who should pay their fair share never do. History repeats itself because we let it. History repeats itself because we let it.

Nothing will ever change if we don’t change it. Unfortunately, I live in a country where the soulless and evil hold all the power, and the little earthly demons keep voting for things to stay the same. The grass is greener somewhere else. And if the first thing someone wants to say is, “If you don’t like it, then leave,” my response is simple: One, I’m genuinely working on it. And two, while I’m here, I’ll infect as many minds as possible until real change happens.

Be the change. Hold your people accountable. Shake the system. Because if we don’t, who will?
