#5 Pleasure in Suffering

[Verse 1]
How to endure….
Your pleasure in suffering
(Your logical shuffling)
Lovin’ pain’s insane

[Chorus]
Total insanity
(Thrive on deprive)
The inhumanity
(Of your vanity)

[Bridge]
[Instrumental, Violin Solo]
“owning” perceived adversaries

A political tool fool
(The reality of your cruelty)

[Verse 2]
Ohh, how much more….
Will we have to endure
(Suffering’s allure)
Lovin’ pain’s insane

[Chorus]
Total insanity
(Strive to deprive)
The inhumanity
(Of your vanity)

[Bridge]
“owning” perceived adversaries
(Not knowing the absurdities)
A political tool fool
(The reality of your cruelty)

[Chorus]
Total insanity
(Strive to deprive)
The inhumanity
(Of your vanity)

[Outro]
Can’t remain
(Near your insane pain)

ABOUT THE SONG
The parallels between far-right movements in the United States and Israel often revolve around shared ideologies regarding nationalism, militarism, and resistance to pluralism or inclusive political solutions, such as a two-state resolution in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Here are the connections:

5. Pleasure in Suffering

  • The far-right in both countries often appears to derive satisfaction from “owning” perceived adversaries, which aligns with the broader critique of cruelty as a political tool. Public comments, social media posts, and political statements sometimes celebrate the suffering of the “enemy,” reflecting an absence of empathy.

#4 Deliberate Infliction of Pain

[Intro]
What pleasure do you gain
By the deliberate infliction of pain

[Verse 1]
Withholding medication
(Is one sick infliction)
As is starvation
(What in all God’s creation?)

[Chorus]
What pleasure do you gain
(By the deliberate infliction of pain)
The bombing of babies
(Are you stricken with rabies)

[Bridge]
Cherish watching
Humanitarian aid (Fade)
Loving the scorching
(Of Earth’s births)

[Verse 2]
Amputation
(Once again withholding medication)
You must concede
(You love watching them bleed)

[Chorus]
What pleasure do you gain
(By the deliberate infliction of pain)
The bombing of babies
(Are you stricken with rabies)

[Bridge]
[Instrumental, Guitar Solo]
Cherish watching
Humanitarian aid (Fade)
Loving the scorching
(Of Earth’s births)

[Chorus]
What pleasure do you gain
(By the deliberate infliction of pain)
The bombing of babies
(Are you stricken with rabies)

[Instrumental, Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
What pleasure do you gain
(Inflicting pain)

ABOUT THE SONG
The parallels between far-right movements in the United States and Israel often revolve around shared ideologies regarding nationalism, militarism, and resistance to pluralism or inclusive political solutions, such as a two-state resolution in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Here are the connections:

4. Deliberate Infliction of Pain

  • Far-right movements in both countries have been criticized for policies that appear to prolong suffering, such as withholding critical resources. For example:
    • Bombing Civilian Areas: Disregard for civilian casualties, including children, during military operations, has been a hallmark of critiques against Israeli far-right policies. Similar rhetoric in the U.S. far-right justifies collateral damage in conflicts by portraying it as necessary for national security.
    • Withholding Pain Medication and Food Supplies: Policies restricting medical and humanitarian aid to Gaza, for instance, have drawn international condemnation, with critics likening them to collective punishment.

History Repeats Itself

[Intro]
History repeats itself
(History repeats itself)
History repeats itself
(Like a scratched record)
Fall upon our sword

[Verse 1]
History repeats itself
(Again and again)
The story of “my self-wealth”
(Again and again)

[Chorus]
The rise of hate
(And cruelty)
Is it too late
(To stop the casualty)

[Bridge]
Participated in atrocities
(The downfall of societies)
Banality of evil
(A deal with the devil)

[Verse 2]
Our story repeats itself
(Over and over again)
For greed, envy, and self-wealth
(Again and again and again)

[Chorus]
The rise of hate
(And cruelty)
Is it too late
(To stop the casualty)

[Bridge]
Participated in atrocities
(The downfall of societies)
Banality of evil
(A deal with the devil)

[Chorus]
The rise of hate
(And cruelty)
Is it too late
(To stop the casualty)

[Bridge]
[Instrumental, Piano Solo]
Participate in the atrocity
(No normal in normality)

[Outro]
History repeats itself
(Like a scratched record)
Fall upon our sword

ABOUT THE SONG
The Rise of Public Sadism and Cruelty
Part of my recent study reveals a disturbing trend among Trump supporters: a shared tendency toward cruelty and sadism. If someone finds sadism amusing, it not only highlights a lack of empathy but may also point to underlying mental health issues. This behavior reflects a troubling mindset that demands attention and critical examination. The unchecked destruction of the environment, the erosion of governmental structures, and the growing normalization of cruelty paint a dire and unmistakable picture of our future.

History Repeats Itself
There are similar studies examining the rise of public sadism and cruelty in Nazi Germany, focusing on psychological, sociopolitical, and cultural factors. Scholars often explore how propaganda, dehumanization of marginalized groups, and the ideology of the regime created a culture where cruelty was normalized or even celebrated.

Key works include:
* Christopher Browning’s “Ordinary Men” – Examines how regular people participated in atrocities due to peer pressure, ideology, and situational factors.
* Hannah Arendt’s “Eichmann in Jerusalem” – Discusses the “banality of evil” and how ordinary individuals can commit acts of cruelty under systemic influence.
* Harald Welzer’s studies – Focus on group dynamics and the psychological processes enabling public sadism.

These works suggest that societal and institutional factors can deeply influence individual behavior, fostering environments where cruelty flourishes.

Here are the connections:

3. Dehumanizing Rhetoric

  • Dehumanizing language, such as referring to Arabs as “animals” or “subhuman,” is a characteristic shared by extreme factions. Such language has been condemned internationally for fostering hatred and justifying violence. Leaders in both far-right movements have used rhetoric that frames Palestinians and Arabs as existential threats, often downplaying civilian casualties in military actions.

Sternal Retractor

[Verse 1]
Do you need
To open your heart
Minimize the bleed
Well, here’s how to start
.. to let some love depart

[Chorus]
Sternal retractor
Helps to separate
Critical factor
In removing the hate
(Opening your heart’s a start)

[Bridge]
Hope all goes well…
(Hand me a scalpel)
Do you see…
(A sternal saw)
Setting love free
(Angels in awe)

[Verse 2]
So you concede
Love is a basic need
Minimize the bleed
While you let some love out
If you feel pain, just shout!

[Chorus]
Sternal retractor
Helps to separate
Critical factor
In removing the hate
(Opening your heart’s a start)

[Bridge]
Hope all goes well…
(Hand me a scalpel)
Do you see…

Setting love free
(Angels in awe)

[Instrumental, Whistle Solo]
Hope all goes well…
(Hand me a scalpel)
Do you see…
(A sternal saw)

[Outro]
Setting love free
(Angels in awe)

ABOUT THE SONG
The rise in cruelty and the normalization of sadism among Trump supporters are evident in several unsettling examples. Kristi Noem’s appointment as Homeland Security Director follows her unapologetic boasting about killing an “untrainable” dog she despised, which received applause from supporters. Similarly, Stephen Miller’s reemergence as Deputy Chief of Staff highlights far-right cruelty, including his infamous role in family separations, anti-immigrant policies, and white nationalist rhetoric. Many Trump supporters are referring to the extensive list of controversial and empathy-lacking nominations and appointments as their ‘dream team.’

Out of Your Mind

[Intro]
Do you find…
That you’re out of your mind

[Verse 1]
Have you lost your mind
(Find it hard to find)
Are you out of your head
(Perhaps even brain dead)

[Chorus]
Do you find…
That you’re out of your mind
Total insanity
Raging against humanity

[Bridge]
Time to remind
(Your heart)
How to be kind
(Now to start)

[Verse 2]
Have you gone completely mad
(Both angry and crazy)
Perpetually sad
(All your thoughts hazy)

[Chorus]
Do you find…
That you’re out of your mind
Total insanity
Raging against humanity

[Bridge]
Time to remind
(Your heart)
How to be kind
(Now to start)

[Chorus]
Do you find…
That you’re out of your mind
Total insanity
Raging against humanity

[Bridge]
Time to remind
(Your heart)
How to be kind
(Now to start)

[Outro]
Now to start
(From the heart)

The Past Doesn’t Last

[Verse 1]
The past
Doesn’t last
(Or it would be here right now)
At last
Gone past
I got over it… (somehow)

[Chorus]
(No) Never have to go back
(So) On we go
Found out love is the knack
(Oh) So glad to know

[Bridge]
The path’s been cleared ahead
(Now I’ve cleared my head)
I can hear here more naturally
(And it’s quite lovely)

[Verse 2]
The past
Didn’t last
(Or it would be here by now)
Gone past
At last
I got over it… (somehow)

[Chorus]
(No) Never have to go back
(So) On we go
Found out love is the knack
(Oh) So glad to know

[Bridge]
The path’s been cleared ahead
(Now I’ve cleared my head)
I can hear here more naturally
(And it’s quite lovely)

Found out love is the knack
(Oh) So glad to know

[Bridge]

Gone past
I got over it… (somehow)

What do we lack?

Out the Window

[Intro]
If you need to know
… stick your head out the window
(Feel the wind blow)

[Verse 1]
And it comes to pass
That the end starts
(As it starts to end)
Surprised, alas…
Beginning to end
Where the end begins
(Do we do it again?)

[Bridge]
If you need to know
… stick your head out the window
(Feel the wind blow)

[Chorus]
Moving fast
(Into the past)
Or staying present
(In the present)

[Verse 2]
Is the future encroaching
(Into your space)
Or, are your arms outstretching
(Trying to embrace)

[Bridge]
If you need to know
… stick your head out the window
(Feel the wind blow)

[Chorus]
Moving fast
(Into the past)
Or staying present
(In the present)

[Outro]
Moving fast
(Into the past)
Or staying present

If I Stay Here

[Verse 1]
A little too brash
(A little too fast)
Could you make mine to go
(’cause I just don’t know….)

[Chorus]
Parting company
Has gotta be our destiny
You see…
I’m sure my future
Comes true without you

[Bridge]
So, now I gotta go
(You know)
I’d say I hate to go
(But don’t wanna lie…
If I stay here I’ll die)

[Verse 2]
A little too much
(Oh, too much touch)
Could you make mine to go?
(Caught a case of the “oh no woe”)

[Chorus]
Parting company
Has gotta be our destiny
You see…
I’m sure my future
Comes true without you

[Bridge]
So, now I gotta go
(You know)
I’d say I hate to go
(But don’t wanna lie…
If I stay here… I’ll die)

[Chorus]
Parting company
Has gotta be our destiny
You see…
I’m sure my future
Comes true without you

If I stay I’ll die)

Hard to Explain

[Intro]
It’s quite clear from here
But, it’s hard to explain…
In name

[Verse 1]
Complex as it gets
Explanation regrets
Complication
… in an explanation

[Bridge]
It’s quite clear from here
But, it’s hard to explain…
In name

[Chorus]
Sounds absurd
(When put into words)
Word command
(Hard to understand)

[Verse 2]
Are you under
A complex hex
Don’t know what it means
To be mean (the means to an End)
Comprehend?

[Bridge]
It’s quite clear from here
But, it’s hard to explain…
(The insane)

[Chorus]
Sounds absurd
(When put into words)
Word command
(Hard to understand)

It’s quite clear from here
But, it’s hard to explain…

Uncertainty

[Intro]
Uncertainty
(About mortality)
Uncertainty
(About infinity)

[Verse 1]
Monkey threw a wrench
Into the works
Causing quite a stench
With all his jerks

[Chorus]
Uncertainty
(About mortality)
Uncertainty
(About morality)

[Bridge]
The future becomes more certain
(We’re all gonna be hurtin’)
What’s about to come
(Can’t be undone)

[Verse 2]
The clowns get out of their car
Hopin’ to stop us from getting far
The circus has come to town
Sure enough, they’ll tear things down

[Chorus]
Uncertainty
(About mortality)
Uncertainty
(About reality)

[Bridge]
The future becomes more certain
(We’re all gonna be hurtin’)
What’s about to come
(Can’t be undone)

[Break]
Uncertainty! (About mortality)
Uncertainty! (About infinity)

[Bridge]
The future becomes more certain
(We’re all gonna be hurtin’)
What’s about to come
(Can’t be undone)

[Outro]
The future’s certain
(Gonna be hurtin’)

ABOUT THE SONG
The financial markets thrive on stability and predictability, yet the post-election environment has introduced significant uncertainty. The short-term impact on markets is evident, as investors grapple with conflicting signals about future policies. The President-elect’s reputation for dishonesty exacerbates this uncertainty, leaving investors unsure of which promises or positions to take seriously.

In the short run, ‘animal spirits’—a term popularized by economist John Maynard Keynes to describe the instincts and emotions driving market participants—are hopeful that economic growth and deregulation will deliver substantial gains. While this optimism may spur temporary market rallies, the long-term picture appears more clear. The campaign promises and key cabinet nominations suggest policies that could have lasting consequences, potentially reshaping economic and regulatory frameworks in ways that heighten systemic risks over time.

The U.S. has fallen to last place in science and technology rankings, a shocking blow that has left climate scientists at COP 29 deeply concerned. Trump’s apparent lack of understanding of basic physical sciences, coupled with his policies that accelerate climate destruction, has baffled experts. Many question how U.S. voters could support such actions against the planet’s well-being.

Adding to concerns, RFK Jr.’s nomination for Health and Human Services has sparked outrage among health experts. Known for his anti-vaccine stance, his appointment is seen as a direct threat to public health, with measles specialists warning of risks to children. Vaccines and fluoridation rank among the most significant public health advancements of the past century. Unfortunately, RFK Jr. has been a vocal promoter of conspiracy theories undermining both, spreading misinformation that poses risks to public trust and health initiatives.

Trump’s supporters, by endorsing these policies, are not only misinformed but also endanger public health, safety, and financial stability. The consequences could be devastating, both economically and in terms of human lives.

Headline: “Woman Who Shot Her Dog Will Head Us Homeland Security”
Noem faced widespread backlash in April this year when she wrote in a memoir that she shot to death an “untrainable” dog that she “hated” on her family farm.

Conclusion
Part of my recent study reveals a disturbing trend among Trump supporters: a shared tendency toward cruelty and sadism. If someone finds sadism amusing, it not only highlights a lack of empathy but may also point to underlying mental health issues. This behavior reflects a troubling mindset that demands attention and critical examination. The unchecked destruction of the environment, the erosion of governmental structures, and the growing normalization of cruelty paint a dire and unmistakable picture of our future.

The Sun Exits the Sky

[Intro]
The seconds fly by
The hours count down
The sun exits the sky
For the stars to abound

[Verse 1]
Day by day by day
Months turning to years
More lifetimes fray
As death brings tears

So, while I’m alive
Going to strive to thrive
Live it up the utmost
Till my time turns post

The seconds fly by
(The hours count down)
The sun exits the sky
(For the stars to abound)

[Verse 2]
Minute by minute by minute
(Does it still compute)
Our hours upon hours
(Relinquishing powers)

[Chorus]
So, while I’m alive
Going to strive to thrive
Live it up the utmost
Till my time turns post

[Bridge]
The seconds fly by
(The hours count down)
The sun exits the sky
(For the stars to abound)

[Chorus]
The seconds fly by
(The hours count down)
The sun exits the sky
(For the stars to abound)

The sun exits the sky
(Find the reason to why)

Refuted by the Gods

[Intro]
About the chances
With all in trances
Looks like the odds
Are refuted by the gods

Have you checked the figures
(The doubt still lingers)

[Chorus]
About the chances
With all in trances
Looks like the odds

[Bridge]
What once was a win
(Is now looking so slim)
What once was a gain
(Now leaves us in pain)

[Chorus]
About the chances
