Oh
isn’t a week a really long time?! So here’s the recap from part
I. Orange buttons, buffoons, garden of eden, and thanks for reading.
Finally, a part ii which has made it out of the fervid recesses. So
before this destructs, let’s take a gentle gander back through time
and across the spinning globe, before it bursts into a gargantuan
nuclear flower...
Trubrexaggedon
- part ii
USA
Ah
the american dream. Where not pouring an endless stream of money into
advertising, nor having 2,868,691
less people vote for you than your opponent by dint of an electoral
college,
ensures you win an election? Land of the free? More land of the
extremely malleable - and you won't believe how long it took before
that description replaced the far less charitable one!
A
land where the carrot of wealth fights alongside the pendant of
superficiality, and the entire balloon is periodically pricked by an
underclass of consciousness. Once that pesky thing is firmly flung
back in to its box before any serious damage can be done, and the
balloon is fully patched, the citizenry can
safely
be returned to their mewling senses. Just in time to see the
president tuck into an opponent with a carving knife, live on air,
whilst dementedly screaming the
presidency is mine for life.
That
might just be the intensity of smacked realism needed for the
moderately minded to finally see where the horror of electoral
inactivity could truly lead. Hopefully that'll occur before they head
to the polls in their droves, so turfing out the power hungry, small
government
(unless it involves getting hands over and into your private parts -
especially if virginal offerings, sex optional) minded, power-crazed,
empathically devoid dingbats.
Talking
of manipulated carrots. The current
potus (the 45th) allegedly
suffers from partial cushing’s
syndrome;
and
wherever there’s a troubling hotspot with temperatures in excess of
50 degrees, apparently leans towards placing a palatial edifice
within striking distance of said trouble-spots. Strategically placed
icbms dotted inside the gargantuan name overlooking the rubble, and
any rabble with the temerity to cause a ruffled combover to slightly
flop in a force 0.0015 breeze. So helping to ensure stocks continue
to maintain their healthy defense payouts.
President
thin skin
is the undisputed leader of the free world. His administration of
multi-billionaires studiously looking out for the little guy, and
concentrating on the important things. Such as: cutting inheritance
tax for all those people living wage packet to wage packet, but who
have at least 14 plus million dollars they can squirrel away to their
offspring, should they shuffle off this pie mud. Visiting the poor,
the misfortunate, the stereotyped and downtroddenly maligned;
providing them all with vhs copies of history programmes showing a
better time in history, when workers were all hard at work, and the
underprivileged knew their place.
Austria
Electing
a non-fascist as president. Then slamming the brakes on, before
pitching the pendulum fiercely into reverse.
UK
The
sphincters charter, taking back control; and soon, fresh from across
the pond... best before the end of the apocalypse re-packaged
chlorinated gmo chickens.
Yes
the empire's better days of bringing the rule of slaughter, divide
and conquer, appear to be well behind it. Now leaders seem submerged
by the alternatives of fear. No longer able to distinguish one mad
max future from another, believing the only thing preventing a
descent into sure madness is by monitoring, storing, and archiving
everything everyone does should in-depth analysis years down the line
be required. Should citizens dare think, let alone do anything mildly
stimulatingly subversive. Protest over fair pay, or another duck pond
not fit for a gnat? Tough. The checkbox for your permanent monitoring
has been automatically checked and everything you do from now on will
be stored for the safety and security of the nation, until the end of
time.
Such
moves are only a boon to nationalists everywhere. Who utilise them as
affirmative signs the
others
shouldn’t
be allowed in to their particular patches of twisted reality - let
alone interbreed with pure stock. Whilst so many of their fellow
compatriots (for whatever reason) fall on less than stellar times,
their goto pissing post is always the same: it’s
everybody else who’s different from us fault,
and
should be blamed for our ills. Usually though, if you spare more than
two seconds to read the headlines before skipping to the next
click-bait piece, the others (most of them at any rate) are usually
escaping something: bombs being dropped, markets been blown up,
beheadings for not believing in whichever sky fairy is the most
popular in the region at the time. Economic systems decimated from
pilfering politicians, bribing global corporations, small-minded
henchmen, or possibly years of drought leading to pictures that
usually depict a malnourished african child in a woollen jumper who's
forgotten how to use his hands when the film crew are there, whilst
the flies treat him as an aircraft carrier.
People
drink in the nonsense spouted by most of the billionaire owned press,
either not knowing or not caring enough to ensure their mental
goalposts are sufficiently robust to view the material with a major
helping of suspicion. But when reports of people with a more
conservative frame of mind, indicate that they believe most people
are guilty until otherwise proven innocent, then why on earth would
the billionaire owning class do anything that would jepordise the
status quo that ensures their billions remain untouched, by the
trolls further down the ladder?
Perhaps
if the top 0.001% of the people didn’t own more than the lowest
60%, and instead turned from fluffing their own nests into attempting
to understand why so many parts of the world are, for so many, such
steaming piles of dung heaps. Then just maybe, we could have a world
where more people were able to reach their potential, and who knows,
perhaps society as whole might just feel a little bit better off for
it.
And
before this continues in part iii somewhere around the corner, i hope
you all had a wonderful christmas and a very happy new year.
