Youth, serve the Leader!*
Because you aren’t doing enough for the rich and the powerful already.
You selfish bastards.
Yep. Mussolini-style fascism, imported wholesale by Herbert Hoover and rebranded as the “New Deal” by the plutocrats who pulled FDR’s strings, rises again from the grave to stalk the living and suck out their lives to feed its evil.
Who am I kidding? Economic fascism - the Corporate State - is what we all grew up under. It never died.
But it still stalks the living to suck their lives and feed its evil. That part’s right.
Of course the cynical might ask who’s going to pay for all this. The government is beyond broke: its a few trillion in the hole. The answer is us, of course. But now how you think.
Rather, look again to Zimbabwe. Get ready to add three or four zeroes to the bills in your wallet.
And a couple more to the bills you have to pay to live.
Unearned feelings of not just self-worth but superiority are turning out, wicked fast, to be the most expensive habituation in history.
