When right wing governments fly in, they do it on a liberty broom. They pretend that all constraint upon humanity is evil.
And then they constrain humanity.
The only thing that is given true liberty is the freedom to make/steal as much money as you can get your hands on.
Though this is not peculiar to The United States, we seem to have a particularly violent strain of this disease. The tired, poor, huddled masses who came to these shores, who still do come, really are poor. And they are sick of it. And they want some serious fucking pie.
They want to be kings. Just like the kings who oppressed them.
Of course, not everyone can be the king. Not everyone can have mountains of stuff. We know this doesn’t work. It simply doesn’t work. And we will get clobbered again and again until we learn this lesson.
It’s like, you know that friend who always cancels because they’re sick? They’re not really sick. Their knees don’t hurt. Their asthma isn’t completely debilitating. They just, simply enough, don’t want to leave the house enough to see you. Fine…but then you keep calling them? Haven’t you learned?
People are slow to figure things out. I don’t know why. I think I am fast, but really, in the areas I don’t want things to change, my mind holds onto faulty, old information. Especially if that information has a golden-sunshine-rainbow around it. I want my crack.
Everyone wants their crack. And in our culture, money is the ultimate crack. And righty wants your ass addicted...because then, he can get you on the Jones and you will do ANYTHING to get that Jones taken care of. And you will go into a state of not-noticing the deleterious effects as long as you can get your crack. Stupid monkey.
It’s all denial and addiction. What on earth are you going to do with a gold bathtub anyway?
It’s ultimately tacky. And who on earth knows how to clean it?

Wait, so you're saying we're supposed to steal some pies and take a bath? Sounds good by me! Count me in!
