I’m not trying to fedpost or any form of illegal-to-say-posting in any form, more just marveling at the entirely lackluster response of the American public to the maddeningly absurd state of American politics.

Of course Americans are the most propagandized people on Earth, but it’s been that way for generations, and at this point I feel like the sheer amount of shit that is allowed to just fly by with full knowledge of the public with little or no cool-zone moments is preposterous. Not to mention the fact that as things continue to get worse, there are more and more people who are desperate and/or unwell, and in such a position as to incite some crazy shit.

Like… at this point, it’s just open knowledge that the government is a cabal of bloated parasitic pedophiles, and it has been so for quite some time now. Not just “they MIGHT be doing some creepy shit”, but rather they definitely, 100%, without any question have been, are, and will continue to do the most abhorrent type of shit anyone can imagine, for their own sick satisfaction and greed. Conversely, the number of people who’ve lost someone to the soul-sucking nightmare that is our healthcare system, or who’ve lost a child or loved one in any of our many shootings, or any number of other reasons to be righteously revolted by this manufactured reality we live in, is surely immense.

While some people are obviously acting out in all the most disgustingly wrong ways (i.e. said shootings), there’s quite a lot of people who know the correct people to blame for our collective misery, who also have nothing left to lose, because they’ve tragically lost it all already.

So… am I just wrong to expect that more cool-zone type shit should be going down by now?

    There’s a Chomsky quote (yes yes I know) where someone asked him something along the lines of “why don’t we all just get together and take over the white house/halls of government”, and his response was “because they’ll fucking shoot you”.

    My domestic political point of reference (to be arrogant, it should be most Burgers) is the ongoing struggle for black emancipation, and how the state has murdered any future Marcus Garvey with total impunity (see Ferguson). There cannot be a vanguard party under these conditions. As blackpilled and lazy as this is, until the state withers to the point where they can’t just put a gun to the back of your skull and call it a suicide, I don’t know how effective political organizing can happen. I’m not even talking about violent action against the state (as an apolitical Christian conservative, I discourage such actions), the moment you create a party that could effectively discipline elected officials, you’re gonna have three leter agencies throwing so many people in rental vans, Ford will be able to limp along for another year.

      read: Even in the age of the Internet, advanced psychology that understands a decentralized brain wiring, and developed biology that tells us how collective intelligence is emergent in eusocial insects, I just can’t imagine having any kind of coordination that doesn’t follow the Prussian-military-style chain of command.
