Tis a jesters game flowing like sparkling wine from the serene rivers of coal burning souls
We
have the holy rollers here. We have the pure unadulterated mindless
hedonists there. We have the dull, dead brained walking dead in the
middle just dying for either a fix of heaven or hell. We are in the
moral universe of titans and schemers and passions unrestrained by
either conviviality or circus. The damned be damned. Work a day bums
and bumettes be damned. The world is a pocked landscape of fever and
St. Vitas dance, crying martyrdom, hosannas and skunk worshipers
strutting in the valleys of American exceptionalism. We have the fond
relays of whack - a - mole players enjoying their games while playing in
the increasingly small vineyards left to their domain.
The happy
jesters of misuse and mayhem has the power, sets the parameters, defines
the public space in swooning American discourse. Tis a jesters game
flowing like sparkling wine from the serene rivers of coal burning
souls.

Consensus drives the diminishment of present of future power grabs
Consensus drives the diminishment of present of future power grabs
There are not stakeholders in a functioning American political system. For there to be stakeholders enough folk have to view government as an entity that mediates disputes, solves problems, looks to ensure a common good, keeps any private or public power in check. These are viable options for societies that need consensus with a strong base of voters feeling fortunate in their lives and futures rather than having the need to desperately cling to opposite aims.
Winning disputes. Finding advantage in problems. Playing musical chairs with a creation of a scrambling caste system. Vie continually for the fruits, benefits and slave labors of power. These are stakeholders in a system that favors bare knuckle paths to power for any individual or group that can use that can maximize positions gained in the absence of any real checks and balances upon usurpation of control. These are the stakeholders, players of the zero sum games. Consensus drives the diminishment of present of future power grabs.

The market place rules.
The market place rules.
The market place rules.
It demands that education be cheap and perfunctory, a baby sitting service run by those who are there to make a profit. It demands prisons be full so that those who run them can be there to make a profit. It demands that police be few so that no money is wasted on the useless neighborhoods where crime may
flourish. There is no profit there.
The market place rules.
It demands that politics be a game of those bought and sold and that with ownership goes privilege. It demands that information and ideas be meted out freely and that eyeballs are made to be distracted and that societal discourse be a large game of constant cumbaya ..... lets salve the weary minds and bodies of the stuck, put upon wayfarers just trying to get through the night. There is no power with them .... to engage give no profit.
The market place rules.
Those who have access to the game have access to the game. Those who have access to the game play for profit and position. They play to keep the market place open for business ...... skewed towards those who use it, enjoy it, deal with the realities of life, maximize their gains.
The market place rules.
The rational act rational.

Societies change and the puffed out chests of their soldiers may take pride in different things. Power goes where it will go.
Societies change and the puffed out chests of their soldiers may take pride in different things. Power goes where it will go.
The existence of a vibrant middle class tends to spread the points of access to power and to diminish the authoritarian strains of all factions primed and ready to go forward and commit their ideas of holy unity.
The ideas of a possible existence of a middle class serve a similar function.
The absence of any hope that such a thing as a middle class may be possible leave the fields open to all manners of saviors.
Policies may come and fail. They may be non too bright and all too corrupt
But they must be open to establishing the ideas of a sustained, broad based population. Power in a democracy should look to find a home in the solid middle .... that which may form itself by accident and common interest, by luck and sustained prosperity, by a culture that calls such a thing good. These were the gifts of a once upon a time. These are not the gifts of now. The ground beneath the feet of that dream or illusion is shifting and caving and the new paradigms may find these old tintypes quaint and sentimental.

The trends of history love to devolve into spectacle.
The trends of history love to devolve into spectacle.
The world, the general ether, the general philosophy and sociology of now present in a world where the gut urges, the gut desires, the gut needs all proclaim and revel in the sacred hold of conscious and unconscious social darwinism
A flat, fractured, scared, ignorant world always loves to thump its chest and be enmeshed in the wily attractions of the feral beasts. There is power and satisfaction there. There is the culling of the heard there. There is glory there in the fight for honor and virtue and myth and resentment and revenge. Scarcity and lack of options are always such. The stars of the feral are always thus. The ones who can gain from the degradation are always ready. The trends of history love to devolve into spectacle.

Corrupt is a facile master.
Corrupt is a facile master.
Since corruption is at the heart and soul of modern American politics it is good that we know this to be so. This is simply the parallel to the basic corruption of modern everyday American life where might makes right and the best survivors are those who ar adept at best being able to screw whomever they so wish to screw and whomever they are so in a position to screw. Hard knuckle politics, economics, social intercourse reflect well upon a society happily dancing in fractionalism, daintily pirouetting to the tunes of attack. A society of many losers is bought off easiest by those able and willing to buy.
Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. We have no fools raging in the public forum. They see the prize. They smell the rosebuds. The shimmy to the flutes of the divine melodies. They seek the prizes of, the smells, the aromas of happily rancid power. They then are saintly rewarded with the joys of corruption coming and going.
Corrupt is corrupt because it wishes to be, because it can, because it is what is ... the currency of the
realm .... there just coming out in public appearance slowly and more surely and with brighter lights and star power as the chumps think it serves them. Corrupt is a facile master.

Power plays and threats of chaos. The gilded path to tomorrow's wealth.
Power plays and threats of chaos. The gilded path to tomorrow's wealth.
When a system is non responsive to the interests of its members it is because there is no actual mechanism that would translate real interests into the ability to act upon same.
Politics is push and pull, force and deterrence, will and balance, access to the levers and the powers of the state or governing body.
When those who are able to be of governance have allegiance to power coordination responsive to only power plays then power is the interest that gets served. In the vacuum of any shared responsibility for working government power plays are what is left. Power plays and threats of chaos.
The gilded path to tomorrow's wealth.

Is there enough food, clothing, shelter possible? The mechanics could use a little help.
Is there enough food, clothing, shelter possible? The mechanics could use a little help.
Is there really a public will to make the poor less poor, the uninformed less uninformed, the aggressors less aggressive, the disdainful less so?
Is there really a public will to have jobs for those who are not set up to have jobs, who are out of sinc with the ways of the new world?
Is there really a public will to actually create private / public reorganizations of works and sustainability for those in the chronic loops to nowhere?
Infrastructure works, civilian corps to deal with domestic short comings as needed. Tax incentives. Plans to harness the labor of the unnecessary labor pool.
Is there enough food, clothing, shelter to be obtained under optimum conditions.? If so then that supply is not the issue. The demand is not the issue. The mechanics could use a little help.

Death on horseback with his holy sword rides well.
Death on horseback with his holy sword rides well.
When the decay takes hold and the game becomes one of survival scenes change and royalty and aspirations change and those valued more than ever are those who can rise up them and "us" and destroy.
The ages of chaos never really recede. The pies get smaller. The power gets skewed. The unchaste get recognized. Enemies are always at the gates. The ones who set agendas and sell out to the best bids are the royalties and mercenaries of choice. A bloodless empty world honors its mercenaries.
Worlds crumble. Civilization crumbles. There is no sustenance in being the good soldier..... he or she of values long dead and gone ... long dead and gone values not worthy of respect.
Suckers do the hard work of being suckers not choosing a battle flag. Good passion only goes with the kill. Death on horseback with his holy sword rides well.
