Trickle down is layman for Neo-liberalism, the economic theory put forth by Milton Friedman, and to some degree, Ayn Rand. Neoliberalism is at the core of her Objectivism, which is the core of her books cuz lord fucking knows she has the narrative and character development skills of a 10yr old homeschooled child who’s only met the people at his church.
Neoliberalism is what’s inferred when anyone mentions the Chicago school of Economics. It’s what Reagan and Thatcher were all about, which set us down this path of “individualism”, aka austerity (which pans out as privatizing profits and socializing losses). The loss of third places, institutionalized alienation (makes for a better consumer, doncha know?) thru economic migration (no family, no safety net), dismantling of public services and social institutions, pulling the ladder up behind them and cursing their children while stealing their futures for a cushier retirement (don’t forgive; don’t forget. Just like vacations and self actualization, retirement is something we won’t get). Amd lest we forget to mention their Argentinian NeoLiberal kill-everyone-who-disagrees-with-you Numero Uno, Pinochet. He’s like the NeoLiberal version of Che, except without any morality or purpose, other than seizing power. The same mirror shows the difference in their politics (because economics, no matter how much they’ve tried to sterilize it into a unique science, can NOT be divorced from politics. If nothing else, Marx at least has THAT right).
Both parties are neoliberal. Dems and Reps. The last New Deal president was Carter. Society doesn’t have “problems”, everything is actually working exactly as intended. The smartest people we produce as a country, err, as a species, go on to work for the 1%, do you really think this shit isn’t thought thru? That’s the effectiveness of their media right there. We can reverse engineer and extract DNA of everyone who breathed in this room for the past week (re:facts), I’m pretty sure, naw, fuck it, I’d bet my balls, the effectiveness and nuance of propaganda in media is equally sophisticated. A great social slight of hand, mind control trick.
I see you’re nodding along, right, you know what I’m sayin, every news cycle. Every headline, devolved from what’s to us, the obvious reality. We see it play out on half of us every other day. It’s like watching cartoon villainy, right? Who’s writing these scripts? Ffs.
And they see it play out on us every other other day.
And to them its the exact same thing, 180°.
The “ineffectiveness” of Democrats, hahahahaha, fuckin, pleeeease. Their playbook is the same Everytime. Make a modest reach towards change (which people want) pre-self-negotiate to torpedo any chance and either change nothing or pass the Republican version of the bill (ie Obamacare). And we steadily march, ever right.
Democrats will never bring change. They’re the token pressure relief valve, to slow the train just a little bit, but never effect it’s route. They’re there to take the wave of hate from the people who want an end to neoliberalism, but don’t necessarily know what part of the gamesmanship to direct their anger. You’ve seen this before, I’ll elucidate; just like the people don’t pay Ticketmaster (I mean we do, with 18 different junk fees) the big bucks, the same 150 ppl who own everything, do, so the ‘service’ Ticketmaster is really providing ain’t tickets, it’s deflection. Which is why their monopoly is allowed to exist, because it entrenches wealth even further.
Democrats = Ticketmaster.
So yea. We need to make sure MAGA can’t pivot back to the lie of meritocracy, but we need to bring the pitchforks and the torches out to remind the Democrats that they’ll burn too.
Alright that’s enough. I’m out. You have two ears and one mouth, listen twice as much as you speak. Reduce, reuse, repair, recycle. Give more than you take. Kindness is free. ACAB. Eat the rich. Drink your water.
