Even if you atomize people, even if you try your hardest to make everyone suffering think they're suffering alone, in the end people who spend their whole lives poor, desperate, or always scared they'll be next, will get pissed off, and they'll look around for something to hit.<br />Now we're at the point where the rich are like OK, we'll channel the rage, we can keep it contained to just going after immigrants and minorities. I don't think that's going to work either. Gonna be some bad craziness coming, and I just hope a bit of it hits the bastards who made it inevitable with their greed.Purple library guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01930984683714519212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-80972848554666922492019-02-21T15:25:05.040-08:002019-02-21T15:25:05.040-08:00If you want to see what is wrong with the United S...If you want to see what is wrong with the United States of America, look no further that the poster using the name of Darren McGavin's character in the Night Stalker/Night Strangler movies and TV series, Karl Kolchak. He is what is wrong with the USA, him and those who (ahem) think like him. The Republicans have controlled the presidency for 22 of the last 38 years, controlled the congress for much of that time and control the Governor's chairs (through gerrymandering) in the majority of the states themselves. In the UK, the Conservative Party has held power for 27 of the last 40 years. So the world economy today has been influenced more by these politicians than any other politicians with the exception of China. So what does Mr. K do? Blame the Libs. They don't understand, he says (without evidence) that people want to be part of something. Tribalism. Keep away the people with the wrong skin colour. The wrong religion. Give them that Liberals and the world will be better. Like Northern Ireland. Like the Balkans. Like the economic and historical anxiety on display in Charlottesville N.C. (Jews will not replace us). It all seems so simple (emphasis) in the rarified air in Mr. Kolchak"s bubble.<br /><br />mr perfectAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-92149837684765171442019-02-21T13:51:27.649-08:002019-02-21T13:51:27.649-08:00Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time h...Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come.

The reason right wing authoritarian nationalists are on the rise everywhere is that liberals refuse to acknowledge that most people yearn to be a part of something bigger--and up until recently that something was their nation-state. Take that away from them at the same time you destroy their livlihoods by exporting their jobs and they will turn ugly, vicious and mean.<br /><br />Britain shows what happens when a nation's elites have sold out their citizenry for far too long. It's a lesson to be heeded elsewhere, but of course it won't be.Karl Kolchakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02919145209182065465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-24152243434225334782019-02-21T07:57:27.787-08:002019-02-21T07:57:27.787-08:00Can we even understand each other any longer?
