Damn, I pushed the wrong button on my keyboard before I finished my thought. — Full screen — To continue the corporate media has been used to subvert public awareness into ‘sanctified’ outlets for amusement and outright propaganda. This keeps the psychos in power and keeps capital flowing upward. Almost all of FDR’s New Deal programs have been removed over the last 50 years or so; especially since the neoliberal economics policies of the Reagan administration. People need escapes from these harsh facts. Movies of comic book heroes, sports of all stripes, sport’s&movie star’s bourgeois lifestyles are to be aspired to even when they amount to a small percentage of the total populace. So obsession with the unattainable become another diversion to stifle dissent. Brain-dead Americans are unlikely to stir up trouble.
I also believe the the psychos have been ‘leaders’ throughout the history of civilization ever since humans stopped wandering around and started to grow crops. The alphas rook the role of leaders and took the larger portion of food because they were stronger, cleverer, less empathetic, overall more aggressive. I propose that these ‘qualities’ may be the demise of the species, they just can’t help themselves; it’s what they do subconsciously, without thinking. I also propose that just may be one of the factors of why we’ve, as yet officially, never had any substantiated contact with other clever species in the Universe. Species act as species and overreach their natural resources and collapse or an equilibrium is achieved where species are in a sort of solidarity amongst themselves. I leave it to other readers to decide where humankind stands today. Peace, The Ol’ Hippy
