Nationwide Dementiafest: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!
Joe Biden. Joe Biden. Joe f-cking f-cking motherf-cking Biden. In a country of 328 million people the guy that gets elevated to the top is literally one of the very worst human beings in the entire population. That is the "democracy" you are being told is under attack.
And this is not even prime Joe Biden. This is coming out of retirement for a half-assed exhibition match Joe Biden. This is way past sell-by date Joe Biden. This is Joe Biden with missing pieces. That is the sort of animal that rises to the highest elected office in United States "democracy".
The inauguration was a whole internet of liberals performing amazing mental contortions to forget that Joe Biden is a disgusting piece of shit. Now everyone has forgotten who Joe Biden is, including Joe Biden. A nationwide dementiafest.
Barack Obama campaigned on Hope and Change and delivered nothing but neoliberal oppression and imperialist mass murder. Joe Biden campaigned on "F-ck you, no" and people think he is somehow going to deliver something positive.
People are so cute.
You can do it Democrats! Just two years of stalling progressive change before you lose the House and Senate and can start claiming the lack of progress is due to an obstructionist congress!
I still can not get over the fact that Dems consciously chose not to give United States of Americans the amount of money they said they would. They discussed it, then said "Nah. Too much. Subtract that $600 from before."
Leftist: There has been a bombing!
Liberal: Oh no! Where??
Leftist: The Middle East and Africa mostly. Our government drops bombs there every day.
Liberal: Ohh thank God. I thought you meant a bombing of real people.
Ask people if they believe all lives are of equal value regardless of where in the world they live and how much money they have, and most will tell you yes. But if you look at their worldviews and the lives those worldviews tend to snuff out, for most the real answer would be no.
The majority of the people who rightly say Black lives matter give zero
f-cks about the people of color who are being butchered by the United States empire in the Global South right now. Mass media punditry trains people to only values the lives in their own part of the world.
Being an anti-imperialist in this society is like being the black sheep of the family who never gets invited to holiday dinners because she always brings up the fact that Uncle Larry is a child molester.
Every day Joe Biden chooses not to move on ending the war in Yemen translates directly into many more dead children. This is not an exaggeration, it is a fact. It requires much, much more urgency than it is getting.
Donald Trumps actions in Yemen alone make him a monster whose name should only be spoken with disgust. If you abhor Barack Obama for his warmongering there is no legitimate reason not to abhor Donald Trump as well.
Donald Trump was none of the things Democrats said he was and none of the things Republicans said he was and all of the things they both are.
There are already at least three likely 2024 presidential candidates against whom the Democratic candidate would be the lesser evil: Mike Pompeo, Nikki Haley, and Tom Cotton. This system is designed to feed you an endless river of evil so that you are floating in evil all the time no matter how you vote.
The way to stop the rise of right wing extremism and conspiracy theories is to end government corruption and government secrecy, not to implement authoritarian measures under the banner of fighting terrorism. This is obvious to everyone who is not an idiot.
To stop fascism they will roll out Patriot Act 2, secretly implement more Federal Bureau of Investigation programs, surveil, censor, militarize, anything except change the conditions which feed into the rise of fascism.
Because their rule depends upon those conditions.
And because they are fine with fascism.
Socialists who promote socialism using esoteric leftist jargon that ordinary people do not understand are not really interested in promoting socialism. It is just a nerdy hobby for them. They are the same as Star Trek nerds speaking Klingon.
One advantage the far right has over us is that the mainstream consent-manufacturing shitlib culture that is churned out 24 hours a day-7 days a week by Hollywood, is so plainly artificial and cringey.
The left needs to fight back by creating culture, real culture, authentic art and media that moves something deep in people, and by rejecting the establishments conveyor belt culture instead of just its politics.
This is why something as simple as Bernie Sanders turning up in mittens captured everyones hearts and imaginations. It was such a glitch in the whole phony performance and such a nice break from being lied to all the f-cking time. We need to give people that experience way more.
Trust in the plutocratic media is at an all-time low and our ability to network and share information is at an all-time high.
We absolutely do have a window to wake each other up from the propaganda and create a healthy world. But internet censorship is creeping forward, so means it must be soon.
