stock here: I saw this at the Cuttlefish, h/t, with a curious story of a well published marxist who just died at 92. Although, most believe in “capitalism” or “free markets” but we should also admit that the success of the USA is also it’s hobbling feature.
That being the USA is so successful, that even that level of success allowed substantial regulatory capture, allowing the plundering and poisoning of the American people.
Have at it, let me know what you think, on this success epiphany, and the dead marxist.
stock here: The “strutting” meme is powerful with this one. It reminds / allusions to the Strutting of the Woke, so self confident that they are in the right (correct).
It’s their strutting. That detestable image of the strutting that links them, the strutting and prancing Fascists and their swaggering and parading military cousins, up front for their conveniently concealed corporatist controllers. A strutting and swaggering couple they are, Fascism and the entrenched class of war. Their distorted visions of gallantry and nation come so naturally to both. The spick and span generals, employers of mercenaries and killers, chin in, chest out, and their majors and their colonels (especially the generals in the offices and the majors in the tents), thick chests covered with ribbons and medals and rows of multicolored decorations—awarded for killing. And the political Fascists! Defiant chins thrust forward, hard fists clinched, swaggering and prancing and strutting across the stages of piazzas nations and continents—in support of the killing.
For God’s sakes let’s don’t waste time on the propaganda of “supporting our troops over there!” Or defense of America’s values! Or the future of our children! Or the war on terrorism! Let’s don’t waste words on that. As if in their strutting and blustering they had a monopoly on care for our sons! Let the generals and the industrial-military complex and our new administration (hopefully) support our boys “over there” in the only way that really counts—by bringing them home.
