Bottom? Nope … still digging.
Marjorie Taylor Greene seemingly celebrating the death of Pope Francis is a new low even for her.

This woman is vile.

Hollywood promotes myths about the greatness of America and the preoccupations and fears of its rich elite while its domestic population is brainwashed by white nationalist, dominionist religious fanaticism and a highly organized and effective 24/7 far right hate media machine since the 80s.

America is a failed state.

1. Cold War (destruction of any opposition to capital/ruling class, anti intellectualism,
ideological purges)
2. Neoliberalism (privatization, deregulation, outsourcing, austerity).
3. Citizens United (dark money/oligarchs take control of our democratic process)

The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.

Our culture is rooted in the barbaric hedonism of the lumpen proletariat, cos play commodity fetishism and a heretical pseudo christian political cult that promotes misogyny, homophobia, white supremacy and an ethos of might is right that is branded by a gun strapped Jesus.

In the end our country is merely a business territory where the path to get rich rests on the lawful ability to screw people and the environment over with no repercussions. It's inherent outlaw culture embodies the rule breaking reactionary criminal seeking to be a legitimate entrepreneur.

America is fueled by myths that glosses over its true history of genocide against native Americans, slavery to build up agricultural power and exploitation of immigrant labor, and use of its institutions to overthrow democratically elected governments abroad in order to enrich its ruling class.

Prior to the maga movement - Piketty wrote his thesis on the wealth tax for those making over 1m in net earnings. I would love to revisit this. It has to be a global movement. Billionaires and trillionaires destroy the productivity of the system and dismantle democratic institutions.

Dept of labor doesn't count food and fuel costs in their inflation rates.

Also, neoliberal policies have created a mass of angry reactionary lumpen proletariats and angry small business owners destroyed by large corporations.

We are in the era of John Dillinger Part 2.

Here’s why unemployment is higher, wages are lower and growth less robust than government statistics suggest.
