Having a Queen Was Stupid; Having A King Is TOO Stupid — Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!
Listen to a reading of this article:
I can not stop laughing at the fact that we have a King now. "Hello I am the actual, literal King. Please bow to me and put a crown on my head."
It gets funnier and funnier the more you think about it. Having a queen was really stupid; having a king is too stupid. People are not going to buy it, I do not care how good your PR is.
Just stop having a royal family; it is so dorky.
This is not Lord of the Rings.
They are like fantasy LARPers running around with swords and scepters and crowns and junk, except fantasy LARP props are not normally encrusted with priceless jewels stolen from colonized territories.
For Americans who are having a hard time understanding what their friends across the pond are going through, imagine if Chicken McNuggets died.
Or anything else you have had since you were a child that you know is not good for you but it gives you a sense of comfort that you do not really understand and can not really control so you are not ready to give it up just yet.
British media are even more servile and sycophantic than American or Australian media, which is truly an impressive feat:
Oh my god. This is just getting started and it is already more embarrassing than the beatification of John McCain.-Caitlin Johnstone (caitoz) September 9, 2022
It is so crazy how many people I am seeing getting outraged at criticisms of the queen. Imagine being such a bootlicking cuck that you spend your time running around the internet yelling at people who say disparaging things about a dead imperialist asshole.
Step 1: Set up systems that make the worlds populations dependent on global trade.
Step 2: Work toward shoring up control over those systems so that you decide who gets to trade and who does not.
Step 3: Dominate the entire human species using weaponized starvation.
The United States empire continually works to strengthen its stranglehold over global economic and financial systems so that it can starve disobedient populations anywhere in the world without firing a shot. Once you get this, you get why the empire sees a multipolar world as such a threat.
If the United States empire does not have wildly disproportionate influence over whether earths populations can make and use money, those populations suddenly have no need to obey the dictates of Washington,D.C.
Unilateral sanctions are meaningless if everyone can just ignore them. So there is literally an entire planets worth of power at stake here when we are talking about the empires "great power competition" with Beijing and Moscow, because what that slogan really means is preventing the rise of a true multipolar world where power is not as centralized.
And this is the single most urgent threat facing the human species today: a nuclear-armed empire struggling to secure planetary domination at any cost. A floundering unipolarist empire with nuclear weapons is dangerous in the same way a cornered animal with sharp fangs is dangerous. Except there is a whole lot more at stake.
Americans: drinkable water please
United States government: Sorry did you say send billions of dollars worth of weapons to Ukraine and Taiwan?
Americans: no, drinkable water
United States government: Alright, you drive a hard bargain but here is billions of dollars of weapons for Ukraine and Taiwan.
My water just now in Jackson, MS-Molly Minta (mintamolly) September 9, 2022
I feel like we do not talk enough about the fact that a 2019 study commissioned by the United States Army found that the United States could advance its geostrategic interests in Eurasia by baiting Russia into overextending itself in conflicts with United States proxies in Ukraine and elsewhere.
Our rulers are drawing us ever closer to nuclear war while our ecosystem hurtles toward collapse and the imperial narrative managers have everyone arguing about whether the worlds biggest problem is Donald Trump or drag queens.
I have been having people online tell me with absolute certainty that Russia is right on the verge of retreat from Ukraine any minute now. The longer I do this, the more I see echo chambers as the uncrowned kings of online information. Getting info over those echo chamber walls is the real work.
If you are really interested in getting dissident ideas and information circulating, the more creative ways you can come up with to get them over your echo chamber walls and into the populations that do not normally hear them the better. Otherwise we are just preaching to the choir.
