Link: The Skinny – That Austerity Business, March 2020
Editor’s note: welcome to another edition of The Skinny; a semi-regular, informal journal, published on my (always free-to-read) Patreon Blog, that collects my work from social media. Please note that posts are typically edited and expanded from their original text for clarity.
Brooks Brothers Burglary in the Pork Reich
There’s no rest for the wicked this week as once again we’re focusing on practical examples of theoretical manipulations and malfeasance in the capitalist model. In this edition of The Skinny, I discuss why America already is run like a business, the insidious effectiveness of fascist propaganda in a crumbling neoliberal state, and why the coronavirus corporate bailout is really just a corporate takeover. When you peel back the layers, you discover that Pig Empire propaganda is not just a question of the lies piling up like a skyscraper, but a perfectly proper propaganda model that effectively alters the facts of the debate by controlling what people even think to argue about.
After all, the proles certainly can’t rebel, if they can’t even conceptually understand why they’re mad.
“Ergo – America is not a state or a nation like other countries, it’s a conglomerate of businesses built on genocide who reorganized as a state to subvert the power of the only body who could regulate their capitalist depredations – specifically, the King of England. The soul and structure of business is built into the very fiber of the American system of government and that foundational devotion to capitalism which inspired the formation of the nation has in turn colored every aspect of the always-expanding American Empire. At the end of the day, the fact that America it itself a business with nuclear weapons and a powerful army, is frankly why we’re the heartbeat of global capitalism; the source & rulers of the almighty dollar – which is of course, an American dollar.”
