When America Voted Out Fascism: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!
Joe Biden may be trying to extradite a journalist for exposing United States war crimes, and he may be inflicting mass murder and starvation sanctions on disobedient governments around the world to ensure perpetual global domination, but at least America voted out fascism.
The "two" party puppet show is always fake.
Always, always, always, always.
When you get really into a movie you forget it is a movie. You do not see the screen, you do not see the actors; you are enthralled by the show.
Getting caught up in the puppet show is the same: buy into any part of it and you lose sight of reality. As soon as you mentally reify it because you really like this or that Democrat or really hate this or that Republican, you lose your ability to see what is happening. You lose sight of the puppeteers and the strings as you clap along with the performance like a child.
There is no meaningful difference between a government with one status quo-enforcing party and a government with two status quo-enforcing parties.
We inhabit two worlds: the real world and the narrative world.
In the narrative world, the United States drastically changed on January 20th. In the real world-the world minus its narrative soundtrack-all the money, weapons, troops and people are moving basically the same as they were on January 19th.
If President Biden had all the exact same policies and positions but an (R) next to his name, United States of American conservatives would be ferociously defending him from liberal attacks. If parallel universes exist this is definitely happening in one of them.
The most dangerous predators are the ones you do not see. It is true in nature, it is true in interpersonal relationships, and it is true in politics.
Everyone makes fun of the United States of America for having no social safety nets for citizens who have fallen on hard times, but that is not exactly fair. They have got the largest prison system in the world.
Capitalism cultists talk about earning money like you can just dig it up in your backyard or something. "If you need more money just go earn it!", like we are hunter-gatherers in an abundant forest instead of powerless subjects in an economic system rigged by and for the wealthy.
The leading cause of crazy conspiracy theories is not unregulated online speech but the fact that the worlds most powerful government does evil things constantly while keeping a massive amount of its behavior secret, and the fact that the mainstream media often promotes conspiracy theories.
It is outrageous that people are allowed to tell lies on the internet and something needs to be done about it. The only ones who should be allowed to lie to us are the government, the news media, the education system and the church.
The United States-centralized empire seeks narrative hegemony as urgently as it seeks global hegemony, and for the same reasons.
The mass media have been acting weird the last few years because the United States is approaching post-primacy and various propaganda ops are needed to manufacture consent for the agendas which will be needed to try and avert the end of the empire. That is pretty much all you are seeing here.
One of the most frustrating things to deal with is the whole "well hey no one is perfect" attitude people have toward mainstream politicians who literally facilitate acts of mass murder. It is like "Yeah my husband kills and mutilates prostitutes, but who has a perfect marriage?"
President Bushs "war on terror" never ended, they just stopped calling it that. The only thing that changed was the branding; they just stopped using the "war on terror" label while expanding and normalizing the same protocols and operations. Now even relatively "anti-war" politicians openly support these massive military engagements on the other side of the planet which horrified peace activists in the Bush era.
"You do not oppose imperialism, you only criticize western imperialism!"
Show me the non-western power that is circling the planet with hundreds of military bases, waging nonstop wars and orchestrating the destruction of any nation which disobeys it and I will criticize them too.
The best way to live is do not.
Do not live.
Do not try to impose your will on life using the thinky me-mind.
Get out of lifes way and let it live itself.
Breath comes in and out on its own.
Legs move this way or that on their own.
Actions happen on their own.
Life lives unminded.
