You can call it late stage, end stage, or terminal, but whatever modifier you want to give it, it’s still good ol’ fashioned capitalism that has destroyed the United States of Israel—uh, America.
Nobody gives a rat's ass if the US lives or dies. They have allowed their oligarchs to totally make a mockery of their own Constitution. Maybe one day some country will invade or bomb them to bring "freedom and democracy" back to their shores, but I wouldn't count on it. It's up to the American people to overthrow the capitalist yoke and re-build a fair and democratic society based on socialist principles.
Exactly. The American people have allowed a handful of white males (and face it, most billionaires are white males) to ruin their country physically, morally, spiritually, politically, and philosophically. It's up to the people to turn things around and lock up the capitalists who are killing everyone on the planet with their doings.
How bitterly ironic that Trump, who promised to Make America Great again and is quick to slander others of being seditious traitors, is effectively destroying the country in his greed and meglomania! Here are a few headlines hat I'd love to see:
"Trump is convicted of treason and sentenced to hang in Trial of the Century"; Vance, Rubio, Hegseth, Miller, Patel are next
"Trump name removed from all buildings, street signs and public places"
"Wall Street crash obliterates billionaires, making Musk the first and last trillionaire!"
"C. A. Matthews becomes first socialist, female President in historical landslide victory - Workers United Party wins overwhelming majority in both Senate and House of Representatives"
(I know you probably don't aspire to becoming President, but I couldn't think off hand of a more suitable candidate.)
The Kennedy Center for the Arts got Trump's name taken off it--so there is hope!
Thanks for the compliment on being a "suitable candidate" for president. I very much doubt anyone else would think I'm presidential material... But that does get me thinking of what I would do if I were in that position. The billionaires and the trillionaire definitely wouldn't like me one bit! (I'd be housing them in the for-profit prisons they've profited from and make them work for their meals. They need to pay off all those retroactive taxes they owe--plus interest!)
Uncle Sam is terminal... Long live the revolution! This is our opportunity as the workers to get things right. Let's don't drop the ball and get into a brawl on the White House lawn, all right?
Right! Workers of the world unite and tear down the corrupt system!
Just the thought of bringing in a boxing/kick-boxing/pro-wrestling type of event to the White House and destroying the beautiful lawn in the process is sickening to me. No wonder fights broke out--it's that sort of mentality.
And as goes the USA so goes the rest of the western world. Neoliberalism has made a handful of people rich at the expense of everyone and everything else. And now we're all reaping the consequences.
Yeah, we're definitely reaping what we sowed. We can turn it around and hopefully save our planet for future generations, but we can no longer live in denial of the dangers of neoliberalism and the endless war machine it generates in order to keep the wealthy few at the top at everyone else's expense.
With the Epstein files, their support for Israel's genocide and the struggle to survive should turn the lights on for most people. I wish indoctrinated world views weren't so hard to dislodge...
A couple quibbles. Nobody expresses horror or disgust at the "first trillionaire"? To me it looks like everyone does, but maybe that's because I consume very little "mainstream" media.
And the map. No interventions in Argentina or Venezuela? Argentina was very much part of Project Condor, and Trump promised $40 billion in taxpayer cash to Argentina if they reelected the execrable Milei. I doubt if the current assaults on Venezuela are the first intervention there.
Such quibbles aside, you've made the case well. Are the elite deliberately destroying the US? It doesn't seem likely, but if that WERE the goal, they might be doing all the same things, and getting credit for remarkable progress.
Yeah, decent and compassionate people want to puke at the sight of Musk, but the mainstream media has a girly crush on him... Sigh!
Thanks for pointing out the map gaffes. It's an old meme, and I was in a hurry and my eyesight is so poor that I can't always make out all the details well. Milei is definitely a product of US interference. But the meme gets the point across, nonetheless, that the US is not to be trusted and has messed with way too many other countries in its short existence.
The elites may or may not be consciously aware they are destroying the US, but I think they are doing things on purpose. They probably don't care about its existence one way or another as long as they profit from their activities. That's why a trillionaire is just another symptom of how sick the American capitalist system truly is.
