Greetings good citizen/fellow human, while I poke the stick in the cage constantly I must admit that my 'perspective/point of view' is far from unique. The collective 'we' imagine the authors of our misery fall on a sliding scale that starts with apathy and cold detachment and stretches completely across the spectrum to evil and conniving.
While the 'business community' pretends that their motives are always in the best interests of humanity we somehow suspect we couldn't make a whole human out of the bunch of them. We'd have a huge pile of balls but not a single brain or a heart in the whole pile!
Our modern college educated management force is no different from the ignorant scion of wealth that inherited their positions of power (and wealth) from the courts. While the commercial arm of society professes only the highest standards of professionalism and propriety what does that actually mean? It's supposed to assure the buying public that any outcome is devoid of even the slightest emotional bias, all decisions are born of cold calculation and return on investment regardless of how long ago that investment was made.
Um, none of that is true but that's the story the Law Masters use and the rest of us are stuck with.
Again not up for debate (as long as those 'currently in possession' can stonewall us) is the 'mutual ownership' of the resources of this planet. Balanced on the edge of the finest razor is the defacto 'monetization' of ALL resources and how certain people retain 'perpetual stewardship' of what we all need to live.
The criminal comes in with how that 'money' is disbursed. 99.9% of us have to be 'content' with a paycheck while the .01% gets the contents of the world's tills that shouldn't exist in the first place. [but there's no accounting for STUPID!]
Even the Law Masters don't claim to be 'perfect' and it is also not their, er, 'purpose' to insure either fairness or justice. Their sole purpose in the scam to cheat those who produce is to insure those who stole what belongs to all of us remain in control and are well compensated for their ill-gotten gains.
Taxes? They exist solely so the feckless can be paid for what doesn't belong to them.
Not so kind when you look at it that way and bizarrely most of you were taught [by the people in charge of the education process] not to 'envy' what other have but to work hard for your own heap!
These are the very same assholes that never once point out that there isn't anybody that EVER got rich working for somebody else! despite the endless 'tales' of the guys like The Donald who started out with a 'small loan' from his father and turned it into an empire.
No small loan? The only other path is the ones the criminals regularly take, might makes right. It's always been easier to take it than it is to make it [and that's how we got a 'government' filled with THUGS.]
STOP:
Just glanced up at the title box to make sure I hadn't drifted too far off course but alas I have done it again.
Today's piece is supposed to put 'their face' (point of view) on display and I naturally fell into the same old trap of looking at it from my lowly perch at the bottom of the midden where the expendable are cast.
I technically don't exist, not even as a consumer. As long as the 'non-producing' segment of society isn't in the streets rioting they are a 'non-factor'.
The 'game' is evolving. As resources are being overrun they are now broken down into grades where purity commands a premium.
What you remain ignorant of is while the vendor claims their products are 'the purest available' there is no way for you to verify that.
Besides, you aren't paid enough to be overly fussy. You can only 'hope' to get the best value for your money and if you don't there is little that you can do about it.
Do our 'betters' care about product quality? You bet they do! If people start dropping like flies their legal department has to be able to fold up operations fast enough to salvage as much profit as possible.
How's that for 'first things first?'
Um, still pretty tainted BUT, given the cesspool we are sitting in there isn't a compelling reason to expect that anything the capitalist system produces is benign.
NOTHING is (or can be) done without an eye toward profit, even war is waged based on supplying the combatants and an eye towards seizing the resources currently controlled by the loser.
Is there a 'benevolent' side of the oligarchs?
Ass-kissing aside, none that is apparent.
Um, 'they let us live' isn't quite true because if they were given a choice in the matter, we wouldn't [continue to live after our usefulness TO THEM was extracted.]
So the tendency to paint commerce as a malevolent force behind society has no visible counterpart. We have already determined that the force deployed to protect the public from the rapacious consists of the rejects the rapacious turned away [mostly because they couldn't be trusted.]
Sad indictment but like many things in life, it is what it is.
Why isn't every Tom, Dick & Harry going into politics?
You need DEEP pockets even to run for town bumpkin. Like the oligarchs rejects, those 'elected' to do the oligarchs bidding must be 'connected' and raised in only the very best 'fuk 'em all (and the dumb ones twice') tradition.
Can't catch a break? Maybe you should contemplate this thought experiment.
Can you imagine predatory capitalism with a benign starting point? Is there ANY version of this shit show that doesn't set out to screw you? Where on our imaginary map does one find Justice or that even more elusive bird, Equality?
Is justice for chumps and equality for the birds?
So, how long have you enjoyed taking long walks in the wastelands, naked?
Not your thing? Shame.
Don't say we didn't warn you and nobody believes you didn't expect something like this to happen eventually...
