“No man has a right to be respected for any other possessions, but those of virtue and talents. Titles are tinsel, power a corruptor, glory a bubble, and excessive wealth, a libel on its possessor.”
– Percy Bysshe Shelley
The only actual crime or sin ever to meet all-encompassing reproach from residents of the USA lies in following nobody, whether it’s a matter of not engaging within a personality cult or not abiding by the marketing for whichever corporate branding. To be American is to deliriously though endlessly praise broader iconography, such as the flag, the dollar sign or cross, even while such at the expense of actual human life is really the definition of fascism, this uplifted prioritizing of preferential symbolism before measurable reality. Should one be vaguely self-dependent or self-reliant, capable of trusting one’s own senses especially where regards value judgements which do not favor the bias or whims of self-inclined others, then one is evidently worthy of castigation to the extent where reliability itself is quietly regarded by all as the only socially-acceptable form of suicide. Many believe that a sense of belonging along the lines of team spirit differs from brand loyalty for whatever shade of idealism, but ultimately it’s all down to a unified submission before the bias and whims of others, others whose words and actions themselves are never unified. A ceaseless parade of projecting one’s own inferiority complexes and prejudices upon anyone, everyone else not talking the repetitive talk, presented and sold widely as if one were not with them then one must be against them. Telling themselves over and over that competition is healthy but that competitors are evil. That freedom of religion is worth autofellating over but that non-Christian gentiles can publicly suck it. That we just love equality but only those we wish to be, to befriend or to fuck can warrant co-existing. The pro-life voters are habitually never antiwar in conviction as well, for the same backwards logic as the pro-choice fanatics equating and aligning their own personal irresponsibility with persons suffering circumstances actually beyond their own control.
Independence is not the insistence of specialized pronouns, independence is not requiring the submission of others to begin with. It’s giving assistance to those who need it as opposed to those who simply want it. The pomp and circumstance of proper society insists that any burden of proof rests on the guilty, yet unironically condemns any person able to define themselves without mandating some conformity or other, to or fro. Wittingly or not each and every American exists under the adage of “Do as I say, not as I do”. Such vain peoples, wholly and wondrously incapable of any iota of self-reflection. Or any reflection at all. By my experiences to the contrary, if you have no pride then you have nothing to lose. It is the obligation of nobody to make you feel alright with yourself, whether you are an ethos of nationalism or just possessing an ego the size of one.
A pair of Georgetown law professors pull punches in this article, citing but a handful of examples in which current US Attorney General William Barr clashes with the very Justice department he oversees, clashes for no better reason but to make Donald Trump appear less like the malevolently blithering imbecile he inherently and irrevocably is. One tremendous example to that effect is Barr’s recent declaration that precautions taken for this pandemic are by any stretch somehow an infringement of rights on par with slavery of old. As though mild inconveniences for the sake of saving life are no different from tortuously working people to death.
I’m unsure when exactly this went into effect, but even the DoJ’s own website casually omits how its foundation was largely to do with combating the terrorism of supremacy, rather than its current explanation citing its origins as being prompted by excessive lawsuits from the aftermath of the civil war. While this nation itself was founded not by rugged individualists willing and able to stand on their own but by egos run amok, exertions by greed and gluttony nearly destroyed the country, so initially, at least on paper, the DoJ was explicitly empowered to obstruct such urges from overpowering and dominating the masses again.
Like-minded with the rewrite, Trump has announced a new commission tasked with instilling whatever indoctrination necessary to further pardon and rationalize the greed and gluttony of national history and national self-interest. Again, favoring a very contrived marketing to documented reality, and for no finer cause but to make patriotic Americans feel better about the harm they have allowed their society to inflict, and continuously inflict both locally and across the four-fifths or so nation-states of the world suffering an ongoing military occupation by the brutish financial interests of the USA’s ever-pressing requirements for both entertainment and scapegoating. Self-perception being any sort of priority in the midst of said pandemic, while even the most conservative estimates suggest a full tenth of the American population are unemployed, is grotesque. The same adverse reaction to historical precedent denies the small fact that without America, the Nazis would not have been so inspired. If a race or culture were in fact perfect and flawless, then why would it see any reason to enforce mass hysterectomies upon migrants, immigrants and refugees? Exceptionalism contingent on a lessening of others isn’t exceptional, it’s arrogance to appease its own morbidity. I’d say that if any egoism is so easily at risk merely by alternatives existing, then the ego is inflated beyond due process.
Implying those implicitly protesting against the inflation of egos through grievances committed against civil or basic human rights, by interests of either governance or industry Barr as well is prodding his prosecuting underlings to consider charges of sedition, contrary to this reality before us where such protestors are more prone to vandalism than their counterparts across the imaginary political divide. Who have made themselves quite well known for literally shooting down differing opinions, or just plowing their vehicles into dissenting crowds of bystanders. It’s saying loudly that actual cost to human life is irrelevant, as long as a self-placating messaging finds endorsement. The masses are expected to show gratuity for their own over-funded military graciously electing to not deploy advanced technologies to cook the meat of dissenting opinions among public spaces, when that very same inhumane Active Denial System is essentially the same variety of technology as the origination of 5G. Though having nothing to do with the pandemic, it’s nonetheless currently masqueraded as a safe product for public absorption despite its birth melting skins of enemy combatants on fields of actual combat. We are assuaged that AHS reportedly has never been utilized, while the Havana syndrome was a whole thing that happened, spreading Democracy by way of illicit, destructive emissions which are not occurring in nature. Yet the official narrative is that only foreign competitors could possibly be evil enough to…replicate existing USA technologies. When an FBI director knows the real score, it’s not like the Powers That Be just don’t know any better, limited to the jerking of circular logic though they may be.
And when the White House and Trump cannot go a day without contradicting one another, it truly is for the best that the United States of America be made to end, for such a nexus of problems to have been allowed to grow and to fester, proliferation and prolonging of egos unbound ruling the day, blaming victims for cause and effect when nobody forces you to give more weight to TV shows, computer games and sports than to the consequences of your own fucking negligence regarding the world around you.
