Too Big to Fail

I don't believe in religion, faith, hope, charity, or generic progressive politics as a recipe to prevent mob fascism. Fascism relies on a form of populism, much like passive progressivism, to gain power but also utilizes political, and/or military power, distains legal and institutional/constitutional establishment, an attribute that feeds into the natural authoritarian element in the human brain. We humans, unfortunately, have over the years become immune to accepting our freedom and independence as worth fighting for, both individually and socially, as authoritarians (the medias euphemism for fascism) but also charismatic personalities, have sometimes quietly and not so quietly, come to the forefront of politics to usurp our rights. If there's one thing clear, fighting for freedom is not only a right but a necessity in the human created political jungle we have surrounded ourselves with.
A series of politicians, religious leaders, and more recently, wealthy, very wealthy, profit gurus continue to manipulate the legal, justice, and social equity standards of the last hundred years. Liberals have now lost the world to neo-fascist principles due to their passivity, I guess, because they've accepted the thoughts of Jesus, and the afterlife, as being the just rewards for saying but not believing the right things.
So, as I said, I don't believe that the things liberals have fostered over the last century have the power to change the immediate future, which will be dominated by the trump revolution, for the next 3 1/2 years. But to call this the Trump Revolution is somewhat of a misnomer because as we've seen, the focus of the Democratic Party has consistently diminished future prospects for real change and made what is happening now possible, when we acknowledge that over the last five decades or so, the two party system hasn't worked nor has the legal system.
America has become too big to fail so in the saving of the republic, it must be destroyed by those who think it was better once upon a time. We know it wasn't and it certainly wont be in the future.
One of the most debilitating principles used by Democrats and misused by Republicans is Compromise, which isn't really compromise but has become a negotiation of lies and untruths. It's been a long time since anyone in politics has actually compromised in legislation. A system of total lie or absolutism, either this and not that which is so contrary to social change.
Certain legislation now is passed as if it is mere tradition rather than something to be discussed. The fact of the matter is making war is a certainty, creating wealth for the already wealthy is guaranteed, and currently, I can say that the re-interpretation of anti-semitism by the very heads that are the racist populists of the future is one of the true ironies of this fascist movement we are being victimized by.
In the animal world, a pack of hyenas can bring down just about anything, but especially Donkeys and even Elephants, under the right circumstances. It's ugly to watch this natural process at work on the Discovery Channel, but here's the thing, Man(sic) is both the hyena and the Donkey by choice. Whoever chooses to be a Donkey in a hyena world, then guess what, you're going to get eaten. The same goes for Elephants. We are living amongst hyenas ( and they aren't all in the White House or Congress, or the churches, temples, and mosques, though many might be hiding there), ready to ambush anyone stupid enough to think their life is free.
Since the world is composed of many varieties of beings and not everyone can eat red meat every day, and Donkeys, Elephants, and others who aren't predators, might be surrounded one day, my advice to them and me is to sharpen our teeth, sharpen our claws, strengthen our mind, be wary of their kind, stand together, surround our young, and, yes, fight like hell.
The world is a jungle. Have a nice day.
