Clique THIS Ya F~~~

//high school cliques

I never could much stand the idea of being part of a “clique” whether it was while I was in high school, the workplace, and apparently not anywhere else in this Matrix for that matter.

For some reason, people seem to really “enjoy” forming these little groups which appear to be very “tight”, but if you have been able to get close to one without becoming entangled within it; it quickly becomes apparent that these groups spend as much time back stabbing each other as they do looking down upon “non” members of their happy little circle. Oh the joys of group conformity.

I have seen/experienced this at my kids damn youth sporting teams among the parents. It appears that they bring their high school mentality along with them into THEIR KIDS sporting activities. I caught a glimpse of this many years ago, and became the “loner” parent that will go to games etc., but will steer clear of them and their “get togethers” and other “team” activities which are usually just excuses for the parents to get drunk and talk s~~~ about one another and even the kids especially if the “other” kid is a better athlete then their own child. Hell, this behavior happens during the actual CHILDS event. You really can’t get much more immature and shallow than this, but it’s accepted and expected within the clique. Yeah, I think I’ll pass. Any wonder why I think “team” sports is a bunch of s~~~??? I guess that I’m just a ‘Poor Sport”…LOL No Surprises…

Hell, it’s not much different in the work place. A co-worker was telling me about the “drunken antics’ at the latest Christmas party. I can’t say that I was surprised. I will say that it puts a different light upon one of the “newer” employees that HAD the reputation of a respectable retired high ranking NCO, but ended up getting drunk and behaving highly inappropriately with female employees for EVERYBODY TO SEE. I think his days are limited for any further acceptance within his desired clique as they try to do their dirty work quietly and discreetly. Personally, I have ZERO interest in attending any of these periodic drunk fests and have yet to attend any. Again, I HATE the idea of “socializing” with work people never mind even contemplating that any of these people would ever think that I would want to be part of their “clique”.

I’ve seen this same s~~~ and worse in churches as well. In my experience, some of the WORST of the WORST back stabbing, back biting, self righteous judgmental behavior happens within the church, but I have no desire to get into a conversation about church/religion or the like. To me, the church is just ANOTHER clique with many little cliques woven throughout it.

I’m not interested in ruffling the feathers of any religious forum participants. Therefore, I’m going to make my “disclaimer” that I’m not making general statements about ANYTHING, I’m just sharing MY EXPERIENCES in this matrix.

One of the ugly characteristics of humans is their overpowering need to be better that everyone else.

It is curious. My overpowering need is generally to leave other people alone and be left alone to my own devices. I don’t feel the need to prove that I’m better than everyone else.

All my life I've had doubts about who I am, where I belonged. Now I'm like the arrow that springs from the bow. No hesitation, no doubts. The path is clear. And what are you? Alive. Everything else is negotiable. Women have rights; men have responsibilities; MGTOW have freedom. Marriage is for chumps. If someone stands in the way of true justice, you simply walk up behind them and stab them in the heart-R'as al Ghul.

I’m involved in a large Clique of friends. Me, myself and I. Solid as can be.

Peace is > piece.

That’s probably because your are confident in your feelings of superiority.

Cliques are always negative. When they manage to take control of something, be it a workplace, school or club, they invariably destroy it.

Hell IS other people. The source of 99+ percent of everbody’s problems is … other people. Yeah, there is the occasional flu, a little bit of cancer, a tsunami here and there. But it’s mostly humans. The social back-stabbing animals, preying on everything, including each other.
