Christmas/ Winter Solstice celebration 2021

 By Steve Otto

This is one of the worst Christmases I've ever had. When I woke up on Christmas morning I realized how alone I really am. Things got better as the day wore on. This is my first Christmas without Cam and it has been different. I had a bottle of Spumante sparkling wine which I planned to drink later in the day. But what the hell, it tasted fine at 6 in the morning. Since I hadn't eaten breakfast yet, I really felt the alcohol. I had some Whisky for later in the day.

The only gift I got was from my brother Terry who lives in Sandy Oregon. It was dried fish. The only gift I gave was a copy of Fear and Loathing in Los Vegas by Hunter S Thompson to a woman, Cheri, who I dated on Christmas Eve. The evening before Christmas was way better Christmas Day.

It's been a crappy year so maybe next year will be better. I wanna say it can't be any worse, but that just isn't true.

 

These are the only Christmas songs I haven't posted here, this year:


 





And for some reason I never got around to posting this one:



 Probably my least favorite commercial this year is:

This year Scrooge is a hero and he doesn’t need to change anything


If there is anything I am now grateful for it is the end of seeing this stupid ad.



I put up this cheezy aluminum X-mas trees.

While I read your blog with some interest, it’s also with some Shadenfreude, you stick to blinkered views about politics, ideologies which have literally murdered many millions. While you hold those views, I hope you wallow.

It will change when you see what Jesus was all about, nothing new under the sun. That and some exercise.

Oh and if you didn’t know already, your valued ideologists were bankrolled by the biggest plutocrats, if you cared to look.

Far from withering, the state becomes almighty. What you cling to is the vehicle for that to happen.

So, while you say “Happy Solstice”, yet also describe the most miserable and spiritually bankrupt time, where is all that disavowal getting you?

I’ve heard all those arguments before. There is nothing new or original here. I’ve dealt with this capitalist stupidity many times on Otto’s War Room. Joseph Ball of Monthly Review deals well with this issue. You of course are full of hot air. http://ottoswarroom.blogspot.com/2016/03/did-mao-really-kill-millions-in-great.html

Jesus and Christianity are as phony as you are.

As for as "miserable and spiritually bankrupt time" here you insult me and you even have the gall to use the death of my wife in your personal tirade and attack on my personal life and beliefs. What kind of low life scum would do this? A coward who hides behind the label Anonymous. If your comments have any weight you need to ad your name or learn to shut up. Your nothing but a low rent weasel.

Then die cunt. There's nothing left for you. You endorse a mass murdering ideology, despite all the evidence of what it is, you deserve nothing but heartache. I liked one of your stories, but that led me to your blog, which shows your life as a tragic waste, when you could have embraced your situation in some way that helped you, but you chose death and that you will have. You think your old fat Marxist ass is going anywhere? Some part of me wants to see you redeem yourself. The rest sees the ideology you hold dear as the plaything of wealthy mass murderers. You are indeed spiritually bankrupt and it hurts you, not me pal

You still hide behind the label "Anonymous." You are a coward and even worse you are nobody- nothing, you don't count for anything. You are completely forgettable.

speaking of nothing, ahem...enjoy your embrace of "Marxist Leninism". What a massive crock of shit that this. Sure to win the attention of the ladies, with your paid subscription lol. You don't even see what the issue is and you won't is my guess, just too retarded. Did I mention your politics is the witches brew of genocide? As in, it literally did that. That's why I hate your politics. Good luck in finding one single woman who warms to it in the rest of your mortal coil. Apart from that I don't have a problem with you, just see someone with a lot of pain and with habits to deal with it that's aren't going to change either.
