A Weird, Stupid Dystopia

"The last few days in the United States have seen a parade of wealthy freaks fellating each other's egos and preening for the cameras in outlandish garb while ordinary Americans suffer more and more."

This is your dying empire, America. This is your end-stage capitalism. This is your dystopia, in all its weird, phony, stupid glory.

It is horrifying. The longer you look at it, the creepier it gets.

The only influential political figure who wanted to fix the chaos of the inner city, Donald Trump, was denounced as a racist for his efforts. Progressives went into a meltdown when Trump accurately, if brutally observed that the Baltimore District of Rep. Elijah Cumming “is a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess. If he spent more time in Baltimore, maybe he could help clean up this very dangerous & filthy place.”

The woke leftists who attacked Trump, turn the crime and third-world filth of their districts into a point of honour, and like all progressives, deceptively twist any criticism of the chaos into some form of bigoted personal attack on the people who live there. Leftists cry about “blaming the victim and criminalizing poverty”, while real people in real need continue to suffer.

It’s simple-minded emotionalism to assume the $30-billion in Ukraine aid would change a single thing in the inner city. These conditions are caused by hands off leftist rule. Leftists create the chaos, thrive on it, then deftly blame it on racism and free markets.

As for the freak show at the Met Gala, nearly every single affluent celebrity striding the runway was a Trump-hating leftist.

There’s your problem.

Conservatives: "a parade of wealthy freaks fellating each other's egos and preening for the cameras in outlandish garb while ordinary Americans suffer more and more"

Also Conservatives: Elon Musk, the richest person in the world, is my hero! Look at him patting himself on the back and making jokes on Twitter! He is the second coming of Jesus! I am so glad he spent 44 billion dollars on a dumb social media platform, he sure does understand the plight of ordinary Americans!

The chasm between the ultra wealthy and the street poor has always been with us. It will always be with us. It is not dystopian in my opinion. Such is the reality of human civilization - especially considering that the global population number in the billions - or is it now above 1 trillion living souls.

"Equity" in social status and outcome is an unattainable fantasy.

I don't think you appreciate the gap. It is much greater than historically. What's more the self destruction in America and western nation in general is not something really seen in historic times to this degree. Mainly because no other empire before American could afford it. Why? Because globalism was not there to outsource the problems. Hence the American bubble is far greater than before and the fall will be as well.

@Krunoslav
I don't believe "the gap" is greater than ever before. Penniless is always penniless but "wealth" is relative to the value of the currency. Todays "billionaires" were yesterdays "millionaires" and todays Upper class were yesterdays upper middle class...and so on. But again penniless or "broke" is only and always relative to itself.

What we have today that IS different is the exposure of the so called gap. Via television, social media, print media...exponentially more people see the difference daily.

We see what homelessness - every day. We see how the rich and the so called nouveau rich flaunt their wealth every day. We see and hear about the billionaires and their machinations and manipulations every day. These things are literally and figuratively and repeatedly, constantly kept in our consciousness.

Stories about the "gap" as well as subliminal messaging keep all of us aware - always reminding us - of the strata of American wealth distribution.
Why is that? Because it is the most basic and commonly used milieu for manipulating the population.

After all by far the most expedient way to manipulate a man is to tell him (which is to convince him) that he has been wronged, maltreated, harmed and denied somehow - tell him he is a victim. It won't take long before "he" begins to believe it and then to militate against those who he believes "done him wrong."

@iThink completely agree. Even the use of the word “gap” is meant to mislead.

What leftists purposely leave out of wealth distribution conversation is that the “poor” are fairing better than ever, and that record numbers of people worldwide are being lifted out of poverty.

The disorder and extreme poverty we see on the streets of major cities, misleadingly referred to as “homelessness”, is actually untreated mental illness and drug addiction. That problem is exacerbated not by income inequality, but rather by leftist policies to protect personal freedom that actually prevent these people from accessing treatment.

Blaming income inequality is a great way to attack free markets and advance a Marxist agenda; but the issue isn’t the economy, it’s an underclass of people who are unable to care for themselves.

@GeeMac Very well stated! You could make a Post with this comment - it would get a lot of exposure and stimulate a long thread of comments. Feel free to use my comment or any parts of it as you like.

No, it is not end-stage capitalism, yah TWOT. It is how commie crappola is usually implemented in any sort of democracy -- by lies and corruption.

Oh, and on the HillaryBag piccie; nice how it was clipped to leave out her little slave crawling behind her to keep her gown clean. And, he was even provided with a mask to protect his health! How nice.

Yep. The people fighting against this are "anti-American" and "anti-democratic."

I don't know. Seems to me that what we are seeing is the result of Americanisms and democracy. You can't really separate the two as two completely different thing. One is a the natural progress of the other. It was inevitable, That part was sure. What was not as clear is in what form will come and how long will it take. We are beginning to see that in clear ways and we are reaching the end.

I can't think of anything that was built into the American system that would prevent this from eventually happening. It has legal checks and balances, but as we can clearly see today, those only work as long as moral code of ethics works. And while funders of United States we careful to try to apply legal protections and even write legal document in form of constitution, there is no mechanism in place that would preserve moral values. Once the Judeo Christian foundation eroded and was weak enough to be undermined. it was the beginning of the end. Liberalism as a religion delivered what is promised, but it was opposite of what most expected.

@Krunoslav "It has legal checks and balances, "

I would add the "checks" were assumed not to work together and would always have some level of opposition.
Another is the apparatus develops its own will to survive, a fourth leg of the 3 legged stool.

"even write legal document in form of constitution," Michael Malice thinks the constitution is worthless because it is paper however we held it together longer under pressure (COVID) than places without the written reference point. I'm afraid you're both right in that the people apply the constitution, people will win eventually.

@Penrodster Well constitution is a legal document, not a moral document. And that was the point I was trying to make. When you have Caliphate for example, you have hold book that is more than just legal document. United states traded Bible for Constitution while still relaying on the shared moral teachings found in the Bible, the so called American Civil Religion. Problem is that it was a matter of good faith, the system of goverment did not have a defense mechanism to proven eroding moral standards. It had legal document, but with no morality its no more than toilet paper.

"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. - John Adams

“On the final day of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, when our Constitution was adopted, Americans gathered on the steps of Independence Hall to await the news of the government our founders had crafted. They asked Benjamin Franklin, ‘What do we have, a republic or a monarchy?’ Franklin replied, ‘A republic, if you can keep it.’ Our responsibility is to keep it.”

I don't know if those are attributed or actual quotes, but its clear that funders had an understanding that with no morality there can be no value in the constitution. But in the name of liberalism they chose not to address this problem and left it to people to deal with it themselves. Noble perhaps, but also foolish. Because like I said, with no self protection built it, and with economic prosperity, people drift towards vices instead of virtues.

Consequences of that are evident today.

That being said, I find American constitution either needs to be upheld like Kuran and not changed. or it needs people like the funders to update it according to modern needs. Neither of those are likely.

It must not be conveniently "interrupted" according to "progressive" ideologies. Which it not only likely to happen, but it is happening for some time.

@Krunoslav ‘A republic, if you can keep it.’ Our responsibility is to keep it.”
Chilling AND hopeful. This statement is sticking with me way too long.
