Fucktocracy? Shitocracy?
When is a Nazi Salute Not a Nazi Salute?
“This dramatic redistribution of income from the majority of workers to those at the very top is so complete that even at the 95th percentile, most workers are still earning less than they would have had inequality held constant. It is only at the 99th percentile that we see incomes growing faster than economic growth…This represents a direct transfer of income — and over time, wealth — from the vast majority of working Americans to a handful at the very top.” –Wentworth Report
Plutocracy - rule by the wealthy
Kleptocracy - rule by corrupt thieves
Kakistocracy - rule by the worst, least qualified
But what if it's all 3 -- what's the word for that?
Fucktocracy? Shitocracy?
There is a very strong possibility that with the unbridled display of arrogant opulence and corruption taking over the U.S. Government that the long-foretold Reckoning may be upon us sooner than later.
Typically labeled as “Doom and Gloomers,” the Reckoning crowd has been warning of an imminent collapse of America as a superpower for so long that the word imminent is a joke.
What is not a joke is the reality of wealth inequality and the fact that the greatest wealth transfer in human history has been created out of thin air by the U.S. and many other governments around the globe.
Citizen’s United: Happy Anniversary?
In 1971, two earth-shattering events occurred.
The U.S. went off the Gold Standard
The “Powell Memo”
“On August 23, 1971, less than two months before he was nominated to serve as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, Lewis F. Powell, Jr. mailed a confidential memorandum to his friend Eugene B. Sydnor, Jr., Chair of the Education Committee of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The memo was titled Attack On American Free Enterprise System and outlined ways in which business should defend and counter attack against a "broad attack" from "disquieting voices." -- Powell Memorandum: Attack On American Free Enterprise System
Powell’s memo eventually led to the SCOTUS ruling known as Citizen’s United, where the complete and total takeover of the U.S. Government was made legal. Since 21 January 2010, the corporate world, fueled by enormous amounts of debt created from thin air, was legally able to funnel unlimited amounts of money into politicians.
Lobbyist spending in 2024 was down from 2023’s total of $4.27B to $3.29B with the number of lobbyists at 12,536. That is a ratio of over 23 to 1, lobbyists to congresspeople.
The fleecing of the working class has been fueled by unlimited money printing since 1971, which has led to non-stop inflation. Look at this chart of the total U.S. debt to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). During this same time, the equity markets have been explosive as all the funny money went into stocks and the investor class took in $60 trillion in wealth. This has left the working class “out in the cold.”
“Had the more equitable income distributions of the three decades following World War II (1945 through 1974) merely held steady, the aggregate annual income of Americans earning below the 90th percentile would have been $2.5 trillion higher in the year 2018 alone.
That is an amount equal to nearly 12 percent of GDP — enough to more than double median income — enough to pay every single working American in the bottom nine deciles an additional $1,144 a month. Every month. Every single year.” –Wentworth Report
Golden Age or Gilded Age?
When T***p and his cult followers talk about the “Golden Age,” are they really just saying that this is the second Gilded Age and now it is all out in the open?
If night follows day, does this mean that we are nearing another era of worker strikes and unrest?
The answer lies in the debt. Global debt now sits at $224 trillion, with some estimates pegging it at $315 trillion, all created literally out of thin air. There is NOTHING backing the debt. There is no “Full faith and credit” behind any of the debt. Total global GDP is expected to be around $105 trillion in 2025. Thus, the Debt to GDP Ratio for 2025 is project to be roughly 98% this year.
$200/$300 trillion dollars have been created on debt (fake money) with the majority of the money going to the top 1-2% of the people on the planet while 44% of the global population lives in poverty.
“44 percent of the global population – around 3.5 billion people – live today on less than $6.85 per day, the poverty line relevant for upper-middle-income countries. The total number of people living under this poverty line has barely changed since 1990 due to population growth.” –World Bank
Who is this “Golden Age” for? Is it for the world’s richest tech billionaires who were sitting in the Capitol Rotunda on 20 January 2025 or the thousands left stranded in the cold outside?
We know the answer. Monday wasn’t the only time the MAGA cult was left out in the cold. It happened in Omaha in 2020 and Georgia in 2020. The MAGA have fallen for the flim-flam multiple times and been left stranded. As late as 2024, T***p left hundreds stranded in the desert in California after a rally at Coachella.
To help you wrap your head around the enormity of this fiasco, watch this interview with Brooke Harrington on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart as she maps out the “Broligarchy” that is unfolding before our eyes.
Ladies and gentlemen, we need a good old-fashioned Class War, and we need it to start now. In this 10-minute video you hear the Bishop from Washington, D.C. call out T***p to his face, speaking to the teachings of Jesus, while the fascists squirm in their seats and make faces. Then Brian Tyler Cohen maps out the ridiculousness of the oligarchy and the need for American citizens to stand up and take back their power. This is how democracy is supposed to work.
The Tech Broligarchs control the content on their “social media” apps and they keep throwing out knives and daggers and hammers to the users and telling them to use them on each other. At the same time, they protect themselves by suggesting that going after “them” is anarchistic or “communist.”
Maybe it is Marxist to believe that the working class should share in the profits that have gone to the ultra-rich. If you care to label it as Marxist, then so be it. It is time. The working-class needs assume control. There is NO economic populism in either party, in ANY nation. The blinders are off now. The rapacious plunderers need to face the music.
Either that or musical chairs of debt will stop, and it is going to be a free for all (just what the plutocrats want).
If Elmo can do Nazi salutes in the Rotunda, we can sharpen the guillotine blades.
