My Rant. Excuse the mildly vulgar language, but I think now is the appropriate time for some... mildly vulgar language.
Bloody Hell America! From here in Australia, its looking pretty bad.
It looks like theres a strong reaction to establishment politics in America right now, and it seems to be dividing the country. The fear-mongering and war-mongering which has made a handful of people ungodly amounts of money and scared the shit out of many Americans, has produced a population of fearful xenophobes with a new god called Donald - a billionaire who says he loves money, but appears to hate various kinds of human being. Bloody Hell America! Be fearful of a god-man who loves war and money and wants control of your country!
At the same time, the opposite has happened in another part of the population. An old bloke called Bernie has been fighting social injustice for fifty years, and has decided hes had enough! For the sake of those who are oppressed by establishment politics, hes entered the fray of presidential hopefuls and many people are getting behind him. Bloody Hell America! Embrace a man who hates war and greed and has committed his life to providing opportunities and protection to you, your children and grandchildren.
Then theres establishment politicians - the ones who study the crowd and then tell em whatever they think the current crowd wants to hear. They try to tell the truth when its convenient, but most often its not convenient - since while theyre constantly measuring the mood of their audience to determine what they should say, theyre also tethered to very big money.
For example, if someone consistently whores herself off to the $74Billion American Prison system, you can be pretty sure, Black America, that she hasnt got your back like she says she has. For every one of you super-predators that gets brought to heel and locked up in some sausage factory, someone else is making shitloads of money that they can spend via their Super PAC.
Theyre shape-shifters who change constantly throughout their political careers, so if you elect one, you never really know what youre getting. Are there really Americans who would elect someone they know will be someone else when the wind changes?
Two current examples of establishment politicians shape-shifting can be seen in Rubio, who, having seen the impact of Lord Donald, has resorted to crude and childish schoolyard bullying. Its not working for him really, and it shouldnt. The other is Clinton, who seems to be in transition at the moment, since, upon observing Bernies popularity, she suddenly realised shes Bernie Sanders in a womans body, and she believes everything he believes
for the moment.
Bloody Hell America! Your next president will have a massive impact on the rest of the world. No shape-shifters and no self-proclaimed money-lovers please! And NO BLOODY WARMONGERS!
Bloody Hell!
