Note: the “normal” American reactions to the Invasion of Ukraine are motivating this article… I have been thinking about it for a year, but it is time for everyone to stop being a fucking asshat.
I’m not aiming to offend you and your lower-to-middle class friends, I’m pushing you to recognize the severity of OUR ignorance to REAL problems. Inflation, militarism, wealth inequality, censorship, police brutality, and food security. These are REAL problems.
Joe Rogan, racism, trans-rights, women in tech, decolonizing mathematics, asian hate… yes, there might be some local shit going on and we should ALL be less tribal… but these are not REAL problems. These will not cause famine. You will not freeze to death in the middle of winter due to islamophobia. Your safe spaces will not mitigate gas prices moving to $10/gallon. If you think critical race theory is more important than global supply chains for antibiotics being 95% outsourced to East Asia, you have your progressive head up your progressive asshole.
This morning after finding out about the Ukrainian invasion, good liberal friends of mine, very diverse top-tier smartest-people-I-know kinds of people, were jumping onto the mainstream rails: Who should or shouldn’t blame Joe Biden? “I’m angry cause Fox News is saying…”, “Twitter is a cesspool”, and basically diving down an echo chamber of self-righteous, psychobabble, hyper-partisan, no-clue-about-foreign-policy bullshit. I just couldn’t get past the ignorance of their America-first, first-world problems commentary on foreign policy issues that have been steaming for decades; speaking as if this was a psychopathic tyrant’s RANDOM invasion of a democratic sovereign state that America is morally obligated to militarily defend.
FIRST: For THREE FUCKING DECADES American and European intelligence folks have said that Ukraine in NATO is the uncompromising RED LINE for Russia. If you disagree with this statement, you’re wrong. In other words, if any little small part of you hasn’t come to grips with this absolute unequivocal FACT, you might have your head up your ass.
SECOND: Knowing that NATO+Ukraine is a red line for Russia, America and the EU have continued pushing on the issue. In 2013 they tried to push the Ukrainian president Yanukovych to accept a very shitty deal to enter the EU. Russia countered with a much much better economic deal, and Yanukovych announced that he would accept Putin’s offer. What did the West do in response? They sponsored a neo-nazi “Ukrainian nationalist” insurrection and put Poroshenko into power. Recordings of the American neocon “diplomat” Victoria Nuland picking and choosing the new Ukrainian government were leaked; she is ON TAPE picking parliament members and loudly saying “Fuck the EU.” If you have not heard this recording, please look it up. If you believe that it was necessary to help depose of a democratically elected leader of a nation that was bordering Russia, you might have your head up your ass.
Most importantly, what’s really wrong is the average citizen’s belief that America is morally righteous and acting in the interest of their citizens and their allies. If you haven’t come to the conclusion that these leaders are running a con job on its own people, you have not been paying much attention. The evidence for this is everywhere… rich get richer while poor get poorer, more bipartisan funding for the military year after year, more bipartisan tax breaks for the rich year after year, more stimulus and subsidies for the biggest corporations while local businesses are being demolished, legal insider trading by millionaires in Congress, independent journalists being attacked, whistleblowers being silenced, mask mandates even after the science proved they didn’t work, vaccine passports even after the life insurance companies are reporting a NON-COVID 40% increase in all-cause mortality for people 18-65, freezing bank accounts of people exercising their freedom of speech, sending military equipment into local police departments, no accountability for foreign dictators like the Saudis, censorship of files on Epstein and Maxwell, backroom deals between Blackrock and the Federal Reserve, insider trading by board members of the Federal Reserve, revolving doors between the FDA and Pfizer, revolving doors between the Federal Reserve and Wall Street banks…
Listen clearly: This is NOT white supremacy. This is ELITE DISDAIN for the Plebs. This is NOT a race war. This is a social class manipulation. There is an echelon of nepotism and ivory tower echo chambers that are not bound by ethnic tribalism… the doors to this Cathedral are bound by reputation, money, power, and the ever-present NARRATIVE. Part of that narrative is making you believe that you need to pedestalize your pleb identity, censor other “fringe” plebs who don’t conform to your narrative, and dismantle your local pleb institutions like your local public schools and your local police departments because “THEY” are the problem. This is a fucking lie. The Cathedral is the enemy. They want you on their leash. They tell you what to think, and they demand that you attack your family and friends if they think differently. This has happened before; children attacking their parents, neighbors snitching on each other, teachers questioning students about their parents’ friends… it is a long winding road to utter devastation.
America is accelerating into a subversive fascism. This is not a Trump thing… this is an American thing. This is every fucking incumbent politician and deep state actor pushing their fucking arrogance at the rest of the world while the governments are so deeply drowning in debt that they have no choice but to debase our currency and seize control of our fiat wallets. They will push us into war, claiming “it is what our democratic values demand of us!” On a local social scale, these nutbags are suggesting that we go cashless, decriminalize theft, eat bug paste, and stage drag queen shows for kindergartners. This isn’t just insane, it’s dystopic… for a myriad of well-documented, well-researched reasons. In a democracy, we’d be able to have a vote about these issues.
But this is not a democracy anymore. Professors and tech experts have warned us that the search and social media companies can EASILY swing elections. Experts have proven that our government (who is in bed with these search and social media companies) operates as an oligarchy. The only politician caught doing corrupt shit that has actually gone to jail in the past 2 decades is Rod Blagojevich. The only corporate executives to have gone to jail are Martin Shkreli and Bernie Madoff. Why? Cause they all fucked over some very very rich people. NO ONE goes to jail for fucking over the plebs… in fact, it is far more frequent that our most skilled con artists and liars seem to get promoted. For example, check out the careers of the journalists and politicians who lied America into Iraq. There is no accountability to the plebs. There is only accountability to the NARRATIVE… and if you are willing to fuck the plebs to maintain the narrative, you get a raise and a promotion. It is a system of lies that is reinforced by a system of character assassinations and actual murder (Khashoggi, Epstein, and Assange are just three examples of murders carried out by the state… Assange isn’t dead yet, but he might as well be).
This is not pro-Russian propaganda. This is a call for everyday Americans to pull their fucking heads out of their asses before it’s too fucking late. This Ukrainian event is just the latest consequence of our “moral high ground” exceptionalism. Next, we’re gonna watch Taiwan get invaded by China and we’re going to be told that America will have to make sacrifices. But ya know who won’t have to pay ANY consequences? …all the politicians and business executives that sold out their domestic labor contingent and sent entire production lines to East Asia. Those fuckers are going to keep every penny of their riches--riches that came at the expense of our country’s long-term economic and military security.
If the dominant activism in your mind is that Joe Rogan needs to be canceled for saying the “N” word, or that trans-women should be allowed to beat the shit out of biological women in professional sports, or that students in your local elementary school are being indoctrinated into a white supremacy, well, sorry… but your fucking head is deep up your fucking ass.
But fine. If you want to keep your head up your ass, that’s your prerogative. Keep voting for the duopoly of Democrats and Republicans. Keep putting your money with the monstrous banks that keep deflating your savings. Keep arguing with your friends and family about bullshit sociocultural radicalisms. Keep thinking that your race war and gender identity are going to give you a fulfilling life and a stable family. It’s fine that you will continue to degrade the culture that enabled you to become educated enough to make your silly arguments. You will continue to be a citizen of a military state that the entire world has come to despise. This nation’s decadent policies will ensure that you will never be able to afford a home. Your representatives will never enable you (or your children) to pay back your student loans. You will continue to stay ignorant to the way the rest of the world functions. You will be complicit in the destruction of the middle class. You will give your rights to the state, and the state will happily shut your entire life down when you misbehave.
Australian measures against COVID were a harbinger. Canadian measures against truckers were the proof. If you don’t push back on the political momentum taking place in American politics, the collapse of this country is going to be the consequence. And then guess what happens to all those freedoms that you thought make us excellent…
There are only two things, in my mind, that you can do.
Vote third party, and ONLY third party. Never vote for another democrat or republican ever again.
Tell anyone who still has their head up their ass. It is incredibly important that they remove their head from their ass before we’re all stuck in a shitstorm of a collapsed economy.
