American Cruelty
How it came to pass in the good ol' USA that money matters far more than mere people.
Shitshow America is founded on three things: genocide, slavery, and more recently the Vienna School of Economics.
Basically, these are all extreme forms of cruelty.
And it’s little wonder such cruelty has given rise to disease, alcoholism, and suicide, as well as civil war and lawless lynchings, not to mention hundreds of years of discrimination and revulsion.
And that’s just the first two sides of the soon-to-be all-seeing pyramid - you know, the one with the eye on top. It’s on the back of our dollar bill. An ancient symbol of He Who is in Control and Knows Everything - the king of Babylon, perhaps, or the Freemasons. But increasingly today the eye symbolizes control by artificial intelligence.
The third side to our pyramid of cruelty is the Vienna School, the foundation of present-day America’s attitude toward money. (Yes, because it developed more recently than the other cruelties - in 1938, at the Walter Lippman Conference in Paris - it’s not precisely “foundational,” but we’re talking about America, a multi-dimensional shitshow existing over centuries and which is increasingly able to warp time, space, and human behavior with its politics.
In other words, America is a shapeshifting, multi-dimensional sci-fi blob monster of sorts.
The cruel assholes responsible for modern America’s money madness are the Vienna School economists Ludwig von Mises and his toadying disciple Friedrich Hayek. They were joined just a few heartbeats later by the American messiah of unrestrained money madness, Milton Friedman, of the Chicago School of Economics. All three of these evil dickwads witnessed the effects of fascism and communism on various economies - “state intervention,” they dryly called it in chrome-dome speak - and they were apparently scared shitless and rendered morally damaged by the encounter. Either that, or they were supported exclusively by the morbidly wealthy.
As a result, and possibly also due to Germanic character flaws, these three ass clowns believed money should be free, free, free to run naked and shouting through the streets, in and out of our homes, out into corporations and into the pockets of the morbidly wealthy without any constraints whatsoever, save that of their One True God - the mighty Market.
From the fetid loins of this cabal of ignorant, narrow-minded, cruel and pompous assholes - or, in modern parlance, “shitheads” - comes the toilet bowl of corruption and disfunction we Americans marinate in today.
Actually, America was always fucked up just because times were primitive; then it got somewhat better and more humane under Franklin Delano Roosevelt - whom the creepy capitalists tried to overthrow; and then it got really fucked up again with “neoliberalism” as promulgated by Mises, Hayek and Friedman, and put into practice by President Ronnie Raygun.
Collectively, they are the Four Horsemen of America’s Greed Apocalypse.
Unfortunately, most of what average Americans have heard about their shitty economic philosophy has been dumbed way down and stripped of details for many years now, so that most people have no idea what they’ve been up against since Reagan took power from ’81 to ‘89, followed by neoliberal creeps like the two Bushes, Clinton and, of course, Donald Dipshit Dump.
It’s truly a shame President Joe Biden is helping the Israelis mass-murder Palestinians because he, most prominently of our presidents for the past 43 years or so, has rejected the neocon playbook. Unfortunately, no decent American should be voting for him this time around. Personally, The Devil will be writing in U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett for president - she’s smart, fearless, and she takes no shit from the fascists.
When it comes to neocon economics, we’ve all been fed the basics, in one form or another, by the lamestream media:
Von Meises, Hayek, and Friedman believed money was a neutral medium of exchange and should not be controlled by the government.
Von Meises believed money was a commodity like any other and its value was determined by supply and demand. He argued government intervention in the money supply would lead to inflation and economic instability.
Hayek agreed with von Meises and added government control of money would lead to the loss of economic freedom. He argued a free market would produce the best outcomes for the economy.
Friedman also believed money should be a neutral medium of exchange. He argued the government should not try to control the money supply but should instead focus on promoting economic growth.
All of which sounds vaguely rational but ignores money as a form of energy and power within all nations, the U.S. included. And he who holds the power controls the nation, which is something the neocons never mention.
Because, in reality, they are little more than shills for billionaires.
And given a choice between a totally free-market system and our democracy, with the possible exception of Ronnie Raygun, these fucktards would choose unfettered capitalism over democracy every single, goddamn fucking time. Which basically makes them enemies of We the People.
It’s crystal clear: The subhuman shitpiles who worship these monsters believe money matters more than people.
Back in the “Oughts,” Yours Truly had a distasteful conversation with one of their toadies, the former ABC newsman turned Koch Brothers shill, John Stossel. This mustachioed cretin actually asserted in all seriousness we could do without the Federal Aviation Administration and other regulatory agencies because the mighty marketplace would take care of cheaters.
Yeah, that’s worked so well with Boeing, which seems to have been given over to corporate greed and shoddy workmanship of late in a frenzied march toward “greater profitability.” None dare call it greed.
Scumbag billionaire ass-lickers like Stossel should be murdered in the streets with some of our 393 million guns these evil dickwads have been preaching for decades should be freely available to all and totally unregulated. Finally, some deregulation that makes sense if you’re culling assholes. And that would include most of today’s Christo-Fascist Party (formerly Republican).
The asshats who rave on and on about the magical marketplace are completely ignoring the fact America is more than just a nation, it’s a social contract. And if you refuse to become a signatory to the contract yet insist on hanging around and preaching incessantly to us about how your money should be totally unregulated, well, we should probably just beat you to death with a baseball bat. We all know you’re just making noise because you hate paying your fair share of taxes.
Or, at the very least, we should scream at you every time you open your poop-spewing, lying mouth.
The United States of America is a bubbling cauldron of all things human - and our general philosophy over the years has been to encourage it all to just go on bubbling. Because free individuals, if they can band together in certain clever ways, are totally unstoppable and unconquerable. The fundamental genius of America is its respect for the individual, regardless of race, creed, or other shit, because people - all types of people, from women, to minorities, to sexually out-there freaks - occasionally come up with great ideas and illuminating viewpoints.
But the evil neocons have taken that generalized attitude toward being a free human and forcefully applied it to money through the efforts of degenerate creeps like John Stossel.
Money is not a person, although the servile and corrupt U.S. Extreme Court says corporations, which are solely about making money, are, somehow considered people. Just as the billionaires want it. And the Court has ruled corporate money is a form of speech, which it decidedly is not.
Americans need to make it clear to the billionaires who own our political parties and our high court - your days are numbered.
Capitalism is a super-efficient economic system, just as a Ferrari is a super-efficient auto. We adore both. But both require rules and rational drivers to be truly impressive and win races. The neocons who have been in control of the U.S. have been neither rational nor skilled capitalists.
They’re just greedy shits intent on serving a moneyed aristocracy. And they’ve led us straight down the road to Donald Dump fascism.
They could prove otherwise by getting behind some beneficent billionaire movement - say, excellent single-payer healthcare for all. But they’re too stupid and greedy to do that. So:
Sieg heil, you soon-to-be bloodied billionaire stinking corpses. Your control of artificial intelligence won’t save you.
