Down to no choice
There isn't actually a choice, let's face it. None of the candidates is worth a vote, but nevertheless casting a vote is said to be the spirit of democracy. Evidently, for me, democracy is a thing that had a possibility of existence in ancient Greek. What we today call democracy is an outdated way of pretending that people truly have the authority to shape their society. When the de facto perception of some people of wealth is that common people are worms in comparison with anything they can lay eyes on.
Look if that sounds like conspirational BS to you, let me tell you that sometimes we are taught by scholars that power comes from 6 sources these 6 sources are:
- 1 Physical Force
- 2 Money
- 3 State and laws
- 4 Social standards
- 5 Ideas and technology
- 6 Masses of people
And my question is this: Don't you think that one source from this list stands out? Nothing? Perhaps MONEY?
Let us face it money can easily influence the other 5 sources if not even can eat them completely.
For that let me make some logic relations:
Physical Force? - Mercenaries, National Security, Martial Low relate to Money
State and laws - Corrupt politicians, unfair laws, donations, and foundations relate to money
Social norms and standards? - Controlled Media, censorship, violation of privacy relate to money
Ideas and technology? Large companies acquisitions, elite groups, privately funded research, ridiculous patents, enormously large intellectual rights lawsuits relate to money
Masses of people - Paid demonstrations, paid agitators, private funds for "public" causes relate to money
So next time a renowned sociologist will enlight you with the wisdom of principals of power, you should point out that even though maybe he is paid to spread such wisdom, lying is still wrong even in a world where lies are the norm. You should not increase an already average of 120 lies per day.
Let's get back to TRUMP and HILLARY
From my perspective, it seems that at least on the internet there is an unprecedented negative wave for people against Hillary. There is so much sarcasm, swearing, and negativism that I feel like the internet has become a massive online multiplayer game where swearing and raging are the way of communication. And don't get me wrong I don't support Hillary, in fact, I think the great that if a strange lighting would strike two people at the same time, and if those people were Hillary and Trump, America would have 1 fraction of a second of glory.
This election is like this: I don't know who will win but I know who will lose and that is the USA.
So if I were to be a citizen of America, I would vote a third party as a sign of protest, or maybe I would use my artistic talent to draw a pony, though I admit with my drawing skills I fell sorry for the person that will see what I drew.
What are my thoughts about the recent(26 september 2016) first debate?
What can I say?I felt a bit embraced and the feeling got stronger as I immersed my thoughts in lies, hypocrisy, stupid-ness.
I can summarize it like this: Trump says outstanding stupid things and Hillary has learned what many people want to hear and she is a lying like a fully trained cognitive neural network. So is like watching natural stupid-ness versus neferic artificial induced type of robotic lying.
The monkey has come down from the tree to fight the robot that has only one interest, and that is his own.
Maybe I will allocate some time to see the next round as I don't think I have now the capability to express some economical/political opinions on the last debate.
PS.
If you don't understand the text on feature picture, let's say is a Romanian joke and I will not elaborate, cause I think the humor will be lost in translation. Farewell my beloved US citizens.( And I say that from the bottom of my heart as there is nothing to laugh about, feeling a bit of sorrow seems like the right thing to do)
