Greetings good citizen, our 'imperfect' political system has been put through so many changes most can't keep track of them all.
Largely due to the fact 'modifications' to the system weren't intended to 'improve' the process, they were introduced to cement it shut!
From the onset the system was never particularly 'user friendly'...and those on the inside feared what a public focused on the common weal might do.
Back in the beginning there wasn't much else to do but discuss ways to make life more livable.
Today you're TOLD this is 'as good as it gets' [and if you disagree, too bad. We have the money to drown out your discontent in our one dollar = one vote media driven political machine.] Best part is all they have to do to 'win' is keep printing! Sort of redefines 'manufacturing consent'
Yes, good citizen, what was once on everybody's lips/minds is now the last thing ANYBODY thinks about [because the even older issues of survival in a world filled with surplus/redundant people now dominate people's thoughts...therefore governing their actions.
So the 'illusion of participation' has led to the isolation of the individual. You vote but nothing happens because there is zero agreement. Gone are the forces that build consensus.
Don't get me wrong, we have never been more 'connected' but we no longer 'discuss' [people are happy to tell you what they think but nobody is willing to LISTEN to what the other person has to say [largely due to getting stiff-armed by the powerful in every other arena of life.]
Back to the 'don't get me wrong part', one thing we ALL agree on is the being stiff-armed BS has got to stop or we'll stiff arm everything in our path! [Cheering the whole time as our civilization is trampled to death under our own feet!]
PUSH BACK is coming...and NOBODY knows when.
Not to be the 'broken record' but the political climate (on this planet) took a terminal turn with the advent of 'Morning in America', the so-called 'conservative revolution when the vocal but empty headed few wrapped themselves in the flag and proclaimed the moral high ground of whatever we say goes...and it didn't matter there were only a handful of them.
Since then the workplace has been dominated by the 'my way or the highway' crowd, to the abject destruction of the working class.
What broke the 'Robber Baron's' grip on society?
THE STRIKE.
Tens of thousands DIED but the feckless buckled under.
So this time it won't be so, er, 'civil'. The self-important will resist [changes for the greater good] and an event that will make the Terror pale by comparison will unfold.
Now it's time to 'rein in' those who would exploit their positions (of responsibility) for their own benefit.
Evil succeeds when good men/women do nothing.
THus the relevance of the question if you'd rather 'live on your knees or die on your feet' comes in. It is not a decision you make for yourself, it is one you make FOR YOUR CHILDREN!
If not us, who? NOBODY is coming to 'save us' from the feckless [least of all 'the almighty' that lets this shit go on without mercy or pity, puny god, eh?]
United we stand...and united we're NOT!
You can put your hands in your pockets and watch as humanity is shoved over a cliff by the freakishly selfish or you can show the feckless who is REALLY boss!
Remember, the ONLY reason YOU'RE doing whatever it is you do is because A-Hole doesn't want to do it themself!
Not pretty but that doesn't make it any less true.
Thanks for letting me in, head.
See ya tomorrow!
