16. When has any administration cared about what the people want?

What a joke. All of this Constitutional talk and rule of law and blah blah blah is a joke. It’s been a joke for decades upon decades. Piss’ first term proved what has long been suspected, all that Schoolhouse Rock shit is a sham. All those alleged checks and balances are a scam. We’ve been an imperialist, colonizing, fascistic country for as long as we’ve existed. Most of the time they’ve at least tried to have good cover stories about the coups, death squads, takeovers and invasions we’ve performed in order to keep the rulers plundering. This particular administration is phoning it in. And why not? No one cares, not really. Not enough to actually do anything about it. We’re too busy fighting each other over the stupid shit they feed us nonstop through corporate and social media to unite and say “enough!” or “ok do it!”

Their “team” did this so we have to be against it and that “side” has to be in favor of it. If it was the other way around, the so-called right would be furious and the so-called left would be defending it. They don’t want us united on anything. Because if we all start agreeing on certain things, it could snowball and then we’re coming after them and ending this shit. That, they cannot have.

So of course they’re going to coerce Venuzuela into accepting western control again. They have to. The world is being divided up by the biggest capitalist conglomerates history has ever seen. That’s why they’re speaking in terms of hemispheres and quadrants. Because of the idiotic system we live under and the current circumstances, we pretty much have to agree with these actions. No one wants our economy to fail, no one wants to lose what they have, even if it’s meager compared to the petty rich and ruling class. And that’s why permission will be granted by Congress in the coming days.

Capitalism is the problem, it’s always been the problem and it will always be the problem. And because there is no longer a socialist superpower to check them, the capitalists have gone wild and they no longer even have to pretend to care what we want.

There’s only one way out of this. And next to no one in the western world is ready for it or willing to do it. Not yet anyway.
