Greetings good citizen, Futurists past didn't concern themselves much with politics or the process itself, both being taboo in 'polite company' and we can only wonder why considering we all must live under the laws regardless of who makes them...[just another thing to ponder when you ask the question 'why?']
Now that political rallys have turned violent [which is not to say that this is a new thing, it's not. One of the turning points in history is the 1968 Democratic convention in Chigago, which erupted in riots as anti-war and anti-desegregation forces clashed.]
But let us not concern ourselves too much with past US political movements, let us look to the future!*
Understand, we have a 'two party' system and nobody belongs to either one...for good reason. The Conservative Republicans are bat-shit crazy and belive in magical thinking, that there is no problem that can't be solved with tax cuts [to their corporate owners/donors] and in keeping with tradition, they are the political 'Hawks'...they'll send in the troops at the drop of a hat, or even a mitten!
Which leaves us the essentially empty vessel that once allegedly represented the 'Liberal Democrats'. Breifly, the Democratic party was the defenders of the working man but this party vanished when the owners of commerce decided they would be better served by investing in the 'mythical' cheaper there.
Labor unions were decimated by the conservative legislature and the Democrats 'dried up and blew away. People started registering as 'independents' because the facade that was the Democratic party didn't represent their interests anymore...and third parties were regularly ignored to death by our corporate owned media. [No joke, still happens.]
If the Democrats don't exist anymore then who are the people running as Democrats?
Well, can't have just one party that a majority of the public finds distasteful...that is something conservatives can't shake. Conservatism is at the roots of every debacle in our history, bar none. [This doesn't speak well of Liberalism but it too is 'tainted' for having to serve two masters...and neither one well.]
Truth be told good citizen there should be NO conservative legislators ANYWHERE...yet they remain, currently just shy of a majority...thanks to the corporate owned media.
I read a headline in today's NY Times that had to be read twice to be sure of what you were seeing. It said that Donald Trump, while capturing the majority of the conservative voters, would be overwhelmingly defeated in a presidential contest.
Which is true, only 25% of voters register Conservative...and that's not enough to win any election...so how do we end up with a near evenly divided legislature across the nation?
Well, the One Percent [that segment of the population that controls over 90% of the nations wealth, also owns the media...and that is where we get our election results from.] Again, insufficient to win an election it has bought and paid for the election process.
So YOUR 'party affiliation' is an exercise in 'mental masturbation'.
There are, in fact, only two parties but neither of them are centered on democratic or even Christian values that the two public faces of our current political process pretends to represent.
Nope, there's the rich and there is everybody else. If you're not 'rich' your party is a useless dishrag that only gets you dirtier every time you try to wipe the grime away.
This goes a long way towards explaining why criminality is so pervasive in our society, those who run on a 'Law & Order' platform are merely guaranteeing themselves job security. When the corporate owned media reports crime statistics, the data, like the data from every other segment of our globalized world, is heavily 'massaged'.
Which is to point out that those who seized control forty years ago have built this, THEIR EMPIRE, on a steady diet of lies.
Making idiots like me modern day Cassandra's. The truth, while obvious, remains dis-believed.
So what have we 'learned'? Most of you will take away nothing from this, it's not information you can use unless you understand its significance. It's pieces like this that make you want to throw a wrench into the works but, as it has been observed, it won't matter.
You have to 'literally' throw a wrench into the physical machinery...like burn down the local newspaper or TV/Radio station. Even then, only one won't do much...except land your backside in the slammer and that's not worth it.
*It's a tough mental blow to wake up and find yourself living under a dictatorship...but there is nothing you can do about this. Those who could have stopped it rolled over instead.
The first step to righting any wrong is recognizing there is a problem...and forty years of 'incredible' electoral results is enough to show anyone that's paying attention that its all 'for show'.
As a closing note I want to add that it seems, outside of a few (obviously insane) individuals, albeit noisy ones, the consensus is there is currently NOBODY running worth getting behind...because it's obvious NONE of them is capable of offering [never mind DELIVERING] the change we all thirst for.
Even a vote for the most moderate only promises four more years of frustration...and the other consensus seems to be that we don't have the luxury of that kind of time.
Hammerfall is coming.
Thanks for letting me inside your head, once again I hope I've clean-off and straightened up some of the clutter but there is still a long way to go...
