Right now, the American constitution is unrecognizable, which I suppose is only a natural effect or affectation of an aging process mixed with a large amount of puffery Botox and the usual American exceptionalism and hubris overtime. The Supreme Court, whether on a strict diet of legal interpretation solely aimed at defining imaginative and magical unlimited powers for the executive branch is saddled like a ridiculous handmaiden to her master, just like congress is.
They (Supreme Court) as well as others, mostly the unelected viziers or advisors that awaken the Jabba the Hut like King every day from his intellectual and passionless slumber, confronting him with their daily agenda illustrating this neoliberal process quite well, something I may expand on here in a minute or much later.
I'm naive enough, as almost all Americans who have had some real experiences with the democratic processes, such as continually having to vote for the lessor of two very undistinct candidates who supposedly, but do not, represent, two very distinct political parties. Where I go off on a different path from my fello/a compatriots is in the disappointment I've always felt that hardly anyone understands that the two-party system here in America does not come near to representing the complexity of world issues, freedom, or democracy. The world should reflect on these serious contradictive issues rather than being mesmerized by the monotonous incremental philosophical drumbeat of those ideas inspired by uninspirational leaders who already have everything due to their legal abandonment of any moral, emotional or human like emotions or restrictions, regulations for or about the common good, such as utilizing a moral code that does not sanction political corruption and fosters a strict anti-social philosophy which believes in survival of the fittest.
Unfortunately, these usurers, thieves, and political sycophants masquerading as our leaders don't just want a "thank you for your service," and just move on. Eighty-year-old politicians should be done with it and take their wisdom to the podcast to see if they still have any creds. If they do, god bless em.
I wanted to mention something about fascism, a word that in a short period of time has actually taken on real meaning because the Trump administration seems to abide by many of the loose knit transactional destructiveness supporting worldwide principles of "trying out neoliberalism", manufacturing consent, wealth hegemony, acceptable genocidal practices, and a worldwide domination of resource management and human cognitive states.
That's a mouthful, but what I'm getting at is, you can call fascism by its name or call it by its euphemistic, intellectual names, such as neoliberalism, vulture capitalism, any religious or traditional philosophy based on class or race or tradition or wealth supremacy, along with any process such as incremental change through illegitimate power, laws allowing any class, race, or tradition to be exempt from the same laws that govern. All this is fascism. And if any of it looks familiar over time, you can bet it's on the way. It may take years or, in our current time, it may take decades.
Over time, the oppressed, the immigrant turn against themselves. The immigrants of the early nineteen hundreds turn against the immigrants of the nineteen sixties, or the slaveholders of mid-eighteen hundreds turn against the liberators, and the liberators turn against the liberated, everyone caught up in their own circle of hell.
That was the Great America that never existed unless Trump is asking us to contribute to an amusement park. Oh yeah, that's what's in store for Gaza, a playground for the world's elite, something like Atlantic City. Trump's cohorts may as well say "Make America Fascist Again". At least, then, we can believe that some time it wasn't a complete failure. That at one time America was more benevolent than it is today. There have been opportunities to move America out of the medieval world of competitiveness between kingdoms, religious warfare, class warfare, sexual deviancy, international cruelty, economic slavery or serfdom, and total acceptance of a philosophy, which is what it is, a belief among those in power that humans, by their very nature, aren't deserving enough to ask for equality nor demand for justice nor expect honesty.
We don't have to kill them, torture them, especially if we don't know them, all of them.
All we have to do is expect them to be honest when we can see where they aren't honest. Demand justice for those who aren't honest. Ignore those who use their authority to lie. Isolate those who treat the common good poorly while they make themselves rich from your labor and survival. We have to turn our backs on them, shame them. Defeat them.
