The Rant Is Nigh!

You've been warned. What follows a somber message, an uninhibited rant that is likely to invoke outrage and despair among the multitude of individuals who are unwilling or unable to recognize the clear signs of impending doom erected by a dying socioeconomic paradigm. The rant has arrived...

Today, in my unrelenting efforts to expose the vortex of nothingness, the whirlpool of vileness, the black hole of intellect and reason that defines the current blind acceptance of the unjust and unjustifiable state of current affairs, I will attempt an alternative approach. Instead of deploying my usual strategy, struggling upward against the natural direction of the downward spiral caused by the ubiquitous stupidity that's rampant among capitalism's proponents, I'll descend to their level by verbally kicking down on the non-arguments they gravitate to in their defense of insanity.

I can not begin to imagine the thickness of the beam in the eyes of those who complain about the splinter in the eye of righteous people who demand a drop of equity be spilled in the ocean of extreme inequality caused by their preferred economic and social hierarchy. Woe is me, they shout when they're asked to contribute to the society that allowed them to become insanely rich and powerful. Taxation is theft, they scream while ignoring the fact that their lofty position is financed through the criminal exploitation of nature and fellow men. Jesus said that "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God." Biblical scripture says that the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Yet a significant part of society is blind to the hypocrisy of a self-proclaimed billionaire like Donald Trump advocating those evils, Bible in hand. And pay large sums of hush-money to the women he cheated on his wive with.

I hereby declare that anyone who has mistaken the cesspool of verbal misalignment and intellectual vacuum found in the postings from alpha-nincompoops like Trump, Ye and Musk for "genius", "funny" or "brilliant", needs to get a mental check-up or do whatever else necessary to get their senses back, as they've clearly lost them somewhere along the bumpy road to eternal nincompoopery. Trump is Dumb. Ye is Dumb. Musk is Dumb. Yes, that's with a capital "D". One of them has the excuse of mental illness. One of them didn't fail upwards. Trump and Musk however have no other talents than making money. The disciples of the meritocracy have mesmerized the population to the point that being insanely rich is believed to mean that you're insanely talented or hard working, when in reality Trump, Musk and most other insanely rich bastards were born with a silver spoon in their mouth. And among capitalism's commandments "it's easy to make money if you have money" ranks right up there.

We are living in an era of ultimate self-centeredness and ego-glorification, "Me" "Myself" and "I" bombarded to our new Gods because Polytheism makes perfect sense in a universe where only "I" am the bright shining center around which all other things revolve. I Am Legion. Narcissistic personality disorder is common among those who rise above the rank of commoner, and even more widespread among those who climb to the top of ego-trippery-mountain. Their personalities, as exemplified by their outings on social platforms like Twitter and Truth Social, are characterized by a life-long pattern of exaggerated feelings of self-importance, an excessive need for admiration, a diminished ability or unwillingness to empathize with others' feelings, and exploitative behavior. What does it say about our socioeconomic and political structures when personalities like theirs rise to the top?

In America, economical growth as well as individual well-being and happiness were at their apex when tax rates for the richest numbered above 90 percent. The American Dream was alive and kicking When FDR introduced a slew of measures aimed at spreading the wealth. Even in a modern game like Victoria 3 it's proven that more egalitarian societies just do better, on all fronts, than our current extremely unequal capitalist hellscape. Still millions idolize the ignorant megalomania of vacuous billionaires who are good at nothing but being extremely insensitive and inconsiderate toward the rest of humanity. The biggest problem I have though, is not with them. It's with their millions of fans who are unable or unwilling to peak through the thin veil of benevolence they hide behind.

The end is nigh. Not just of civilization as we know it if we proceed on this path to annihilation, but of this rant. I'll leave you with two short videos that emphasize the points I try to make here, as this has been a spontaneous flow of thoughts while being in a not so good mood. And don't worry; my next post is nigh as well...
