Meek Only Rhymes with Weak
Off With Their Heads
It Was the Plutocracy After All
“Wish in one hand, shit in the other, see which one fills up first.” ― Stephen King, The Dark Tower
If the sane people in the world want to build a movement to save their country and reclaim it from the Christofascists, they need a strategy. This is assuming the comical concept that there will ever be free elections again in the United States.
Like a lot of you, I have been walking around looking at every human with a scant eye and asking myself, “Was it you? Were you one of the ones that signed America’s death warrant?” Shades of 2016 déjà vu.
Admittedly, I have stayed away from the “news” lately in the effort to cure myself of the Idiocracy and the complete and total failure of the 4th Estate this year. I happen to agree with Jeff Tiedrich in believing that RFK Jr’s brainworm has perhaps found a home in Ezra Klein’s noggin. Whatever he and Russ Douche-hat are smoking, I want some.
However, I did listen to Sarah and JVL at The Bulwark (painfully so) and had to make it through to the end to finally get a nugget. I am a paid subscriber to The Bulwark, so you might not be able to see the pod on this link. Near the end, JVL suggests a strategy that demonizes the rich exactly like T***p demonized the ‘illegal immigrants.’ I really like this idea and would encourage everyone to consider it as a strategic play.
69,000 Years: What’s a Paleocene Amongst Friends?
You may rightfully feel that you have absolutely ZERO in common with the MAGAts. After all, it only took Neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes one day to post “Your body, My Choice,” and this weekend a bunch of MAGAts put up signs across an expressway saying: “Your Daddy T***p is Back.” In our town here we had a ‘parade’ of MAGAts in their trucks with the huge flags driving through neighborhoods honking their horns and screaming out the windows. My initial response is to want to send up a middle finger in salute. Instead, I just take a deep breath. My spirituality flies out the fucking window when the Chuds show up and start preening.
However, the angst in the populus is fairly evenly spread regardless of how you vote or pray. We need a forward press, Marie Antionette strategy now. On November 6th, the wealth of the nation’s top billionaires rose by $64 billion dollars. If you worked at today’s minimum wage of $7.25 per hour it would only take you 69,000 years to make your first billion.
Just make the plutocrats the enemy and keep hammering it, EVERY. FUCKING. DAY. For the next two years. The rich stole from you, you pay for their rocket ships, you buy their mega-yachts, and you got shit in return. No fucking health care, home prices out of reach, insurance that you pay a fortune for and then are stuck with co-pays and prescription costs. We are chattel and they are screwing the country raw.
Flip the script on the T***pers. The new “immigrants are destroying our country.” Billionaires are destroying our country. Billionaires are poisoning our country. Billionaires are stopping you from unionizing. You get the drill. Fuck Elmo Musk and his promise for “temporary hardship.”
“Were T***p to implement Musk’s vision while simultaneously honoring his promise to avoid cutting entitlements and the GOP’s commitment to avoiding defense spending cuts, then he would need to slash all other government programs by 80 percent. That would involve gutting all social services for low-income Americans, food inspections, air safety, health insurance subsidies, and infrastructure investments, among countless other things.” --Vox
These motherfuckers are so detached from everyday reality, and they are out of their freaking minds. Their goal right now is to “escape” the rest of the humans and either leave the planet or build floating compounds where they can be “away from” the rest of the rabble. Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen bought themselves an oligarchic government and they don’t want to be here? What deals have they cut for themselves? What do Elon Musk and other billionaires want in return for backing T***p?
“Their extreme wealth and privilege served only to make them obsessed with insulating themselves from the very real and present danger of climate change, rising sea levels, mass migration, global pandemics, nativist panic, and resource depletion. For them, the future of technology is about only one thing: escape from the rest of us.” ― Douglas Rushkoff, Survival of the Richest: Escape Fantasies of the Tech Billionaires
One of the best takeaways from Rushkoff’s book is how totally inept and moronic these tech billionaires are. Now imagine these dumb shits shadow running the government because Dotard Donnie always listens to the last one in the room.
We Are the Otters of the Universe?
“I’m angry for all the reasons all of you are angry. But unfocused anger is like a downed power line. It doesn’t help anybody and it invites disaster.” –Michael Ian Black
"We are game-playing, fun-having creatures, we are the otters of the universe.” –Richard Bach: Illusions
Are we Richard? Are we otters, or are we chattel? Are we in a culture war or is the angst a product of five decades of the greatest wealth transfer in the history of the planet? Is the enemy really a political foe or a Haitian migrant? We need to name real enemies. Sure, Faux Noise and NewsMax and RSBN will scream “Class War!” Let them, they can go fuck themselves. As Voltaire said: “The comfort of the rich depends upon an abundant supply of the poor.” The bottom line: It’s time for the plutocrats to pay up. (Note: Shitty WaPo link. Fuck WaPo)
T***p never did shit for the “Forgotten Man,” and they still turned around and voted for him. Why that is, we will never know. The “media” will pick fly shit out of pepper for years without acknowledging that ‘Murica is a racist and misogynistic country and the Demoncraps ran a chick, a colored chick at that, and last we checked she also had a VAJJ. (For years, the right-wing fever swamps have claimed Harris is a man!) <facepalm emoji>
My generation’s grandparents grew up in Europe during the fucking Blitzkrieg. Today’s generation freaks out when the internet is slow. We are NOT the same. GenZ is unmotivated and the males are seduced by emotionally crippled Manosphere jagoffs like Andrew Tate. The misogyny is off the charts as women outpace men in education, college graduations and good-paying jobs while the GenZ INCELS sit at home jerking it to porn and trolling misogynistic websites where they genuinely believe that they should have “sex on demand.” Young men need role models, but they also know they are being used by a system that rewards the rich and ass-fucks their generation. The American people have been fleeced and fucked. Sure. Systemic rape of the workers? Check. Has this happened repeatedly throughout history? Mmmm-hmmm. Sharpen up the guillotine…it always ends with someone’s head in a basket. “Vive le 14 juillet!” Off with their heads!
Who’s meek now motherfucker? Sorry, Richard, I am truly sorry.
