Around the era of occupy Wall Street and End the Fed the people in both movements did not agree. However there still was a cohesive voice of resistance against the policies that had been in place from grass roots voices on both the “left” and the “right.” Unfortunately the presidency of Donald J Trump has been used as a vehicle of polarization and division even though many claimed initially that he was an anti-establishment candidate. In my country most will probably not like what I’m about to write, but if any semblance of a truly free press or means of self-expression is to remain I must write it, and perhaps delve into things which are much more controversial in future posts.
The left and the right in this country are both full of shit. I mean their mouths are so full of shit that it’s difficult to hear their garbled messages as they both toe the line of seemingly different establishment messages in unison. If you are easily offended or vehemently political you might want to stop reading this now because I am just writing what’s on my mind at the moment. It is not an objective masterpiece. It is just what is coming to my fingers as I type this so the chances are I will take aim at all of you no matter who you are. And it’s fine. There are plenty of reasons to take aim at me too.
The left used to lean centrist not that it really meant anything. Now they lean communist. Now really. How many historical examples of communism in nations as large as the USSA do we need to realize that it always results in impoverishment of the people and democide (death by government)? I mean these fucks claim to study history. Why do they always brush aside the most pertinent conclusions that can be made from it then? I don’t learn from my mistakes often either, but at least I can admit it. Mao, Stalin, Hitler (yes he was a national socialist!), and the list goes on and on and on really. Lenin, Castro, Pol Pot (OK the latter are not as big of countries, but you get the picture.)
The “far right” policies of fascism were no better of course. The word fascism has been thrown around far too lightly by the left since time immemorial though. Fascism is basically rule by corporations. If anyone were really examining this through a lens that was color blind to both the blues and the reds (the elephants and asses so to speak) they would come to the conclusion that the USSA has been operating under corporatism (a form of fascism) under both republican and democratic administrations since most of us have been born. Why fall into the divide and conquer trap and perpetuate such hatred and disdain for one another then? It is senseless. Trump supporters are not fascists any more than Clinton supporters were. However it should be noted that BOTH by casting their votes for these parties (2 heads of the same beast) that have failed us again and again are supporting a system of fascism, but the odds are that they are completely unaware of this. The brainwashing is ingrained so deeply in this society it’s sickening, and I’m not claiming that I’m always immune to it. It works through all outlets. All opinions. It’s insidious. The controllers are much smarter than people think and they realize they must control all narratives, even opposing narratives, if they are to accomplish what they have been trying to put into place for hundreds or maybe even thousands of years.
But at the same time these controllers have no power whatsoever if we cease to play their game. If we all stopped voting and paying taxes their system would crumble quickly though they would have the means to enforce their slavery since they have been stealing trillions of dollars regularly for many years now. That is where the real power of humanity lies though. It is not in skirmishes of left vs right. It is in the ability for all to unite and stop paying taxes (which I have not done. I know I’m a hypocrite.) But really though the main problem is that first of all the people do not understand who the enemy is and their own role in their enslavement. I have not become fully cognizant of it either as hard as I may have tried. If I were I would likely quit my job and relocate. I tried the quitting my (last) job part, but that didn’t work out so well since I didn’t have another one lined up. Regardless the income tax is bullshit and oppressive to everyone really whether they realize it or not.
I don’t hate leftists. I don’t hate the right. I’m just sick of their bullshit. Whatever happened to the real concern about US interventionism and imperialism? It’s gone. What did Trump do to stop these illegal wars? What did Obama do besides stage a PR campaign? Nothing. They have never ended, but we are just supposed to get used to this endless war on terror whether there is a R or a D in the White House. I remember even reading a paper by the Rand Corporation (of all the filthy fucks) on how these wars cannot go on forever. This was well over a decade ago and still our shitty foreign policy has not changed for the better. You want to support the troops? Demand they bring them home! Protest in the millions about that instead of beating each other bloody over the false dichotomy of right / left politics.
So the right. You want MORE police. You want MORE military. Yet you wave around the Gadsden flag. Are you aware that the founders were opposed to the concept of a standing army? Are you aware that the police have become yet another standing army in our own nation? National defense according to the Bill of Rights was supposed to consist of a militia. Not an interventionist force. You want more spending, but less taxes thus raising the national debt even higher beyond the absurd levels it was already at. I guess we’re never going to be able to go backwards, but in some ways I would if I could. Other ways not so much. If I could go backwards I would definitely be proud to live in a nation with sound money that was backed up by silver and gold. Now I live in a nation that has a currency that is backed up by the threat of brutal warfare against the nations that try to undermine it’s status as the world’s reserve currency. However the writing is on the wall and the dollar’s days are numbered. I am not prepared. I put myself in debt multiple times to try to be prepared so I guess I am truly the dunce, but I can only take my life one day at a time and try to do better tomorrow perhaps. What people need to realize though is that the dollar won’t be around forever. I don’t care who you are or what you do you need to start preparing now even if it’s just by saving nickels or copper pennies. If the $ is worthless these will still hold some value, but gold, silver, and probably BTC will be much better.
So who am I to say all of this? I don’t know. No one really. But most of the people I thought would do a better job than me are either too busy dick riding their establishment candidates so they can continue to prosper, or have been nearly scrubbed from the internet entirely. We are living in very dangerous times in which free speech is truly under attack. It shows the desperation they are implementing in order to control the narrative completely. It is both voices on the left and the right that have been censored by the big tech platforms. Again why is this not a reason for unification and a common goal instead of polarization and division? Because the “orange” man is president. They don’t need a reason.
In conclusion I may not really know what I’m talking about either, but you all have gone beyond that. You have bought into the false left right dichotomy you once swore to detest, and you all should be ashamed of yourselves.
