It’s Worse Than You Think
Posted on Nov 11, 2016
By Chris Hedges
"Widespread social unrest will ignite when Donald Trump’s base realizes it has been betrayed. I do not know when this will happen. But that it will happen is certain. Investments in the stocks of the war industry, internal security and the prison-industrial complex have skyrocketed since Trump won the presidency. There is a lot of money to be made from a militarized police state.
"Our capitalist democracy ceased to function more than two decades ago. We underwent a corporate coup carried out by the Democratic and Republican parties. There are no institutions left that can authentically be called democratic. Trump and Hillary Clinton in a functioning democracy would have never been presidential nominees. The long and ruthless corporate assault on the working class, the legal system, electoral politics, the mass media, social services, the ecosystem, education and civil liberties in the name of neoliberalism has disemboweled the country. It has left the nation a decayed wreck. We celebrate ignorance. We have replaced political discourse, news, culture and intellectual inquiry with celebrity worship and spectacle.
Fascism, as historian Gaetano Salvemini pointed out, is about “giving up free institutions.” It is the product of a democracy that has ceased to function. The democratic form will remain, much as it did during the dictatorships in the later part of the Roman Empire, but the reality is despotism, or in our case, corporate despotism. The citizen does not genuinely participate in power.
“It is very similar to late Weimar Germany,” Noam Chomsky told me with uncanny insight when I spoke with him six years ago. “The parallels are striking. There was also tremendous disillusionment with the parliamentary system. The most striking fact about Weimar was not that the Nazis managed to destroy the Social Democrats and the Communists, but that the traditional parties, the Conservative and Liberal parties, were hated and disappeared. It left a vacuum which the Nazis very cleverly and intelligently managed to take over.
“The United States is extremely lucky that no honest, charismatic figure has arisen,” Chomsky went on. “Every charismatic figure is such an obvious crook that he destroys himself, like [Joseph] McCarthy or [Richard] Nixon or the evangelist preachers. If somebody comes along who is charismatic and honest, this country is in real trouble because of the frustration, disillusionment, the justified anger and the absence of any coherent response. What are people supposed to think if someone says ‘I have got an answer: We have an enemy’? There it was the Jews. Here it will be the illegal immigrants and the blacks. We will be told that white males are a persecuted minority. We will be told we have to defend ourselves and the honor of the nation. Military force will be exalted. People will be beaten up. This could become an overwhelming force. And if it happens, it will be more dangerous than Germany. The United States is the world power. Germany was powerful but had more powerful antagonists. I don’t think all this is very far away. If the polls are accurate, it is not the Republicans but the right-wing Republicans, the crazed Republicans, who will sweep the next election.”
The repression of dissents will soon resemble the repression under past totalitarian regimes. State security will become an invasive and palpable presence. The most benign forms of opposition will be treated as if they are a threat to national security. Many, hoping to avoid the wrath of the state, will become compliant and passive. We, however, must fight back. We must carry out sustained acts of civil disobedience, as many have done in streets around the country since the election. But we must also be aware that the democratic space allotted to us in our system of inverted totalitarianism has become much, much smaller.
Trump, with no democratic institutions left to restrain him, will accelerate the corporate assault, from privatizing Social Security to exonerating militarized police forces for the indiscriminate murder of unarmed citizens, while he unleashes the fossil fuel industry and the war industry to degrade and most probably extinguish life on earth. His administration will be populated by the lunatic fringe of the Republican Party, men and women characterized by profound intellectual and moral impoverishment, as well as a stunning ability to ignore reality. These ideologues speak exclusively in the language of intimidation and violence.
Half the country lives in poverty. Our former manufacturing centers are decayed wrecks. Our constitutional rights, including due process and habeas corpus, have been taken from us by judicial fiat. Corporations and the billionaire class carry out legal tax boycotts. Police gun down unarmed citizens in the street. The military, under Section 1021 of the National Defense Authorization Act, is empowered to carry out the extraordinary rendition of U.S. citizens within the United States, strip them of due process and hold them indefinitely in our black sites. We are the most spied upon, watched, eavesdropped, photographed and monitored population in human history. When the government watches you 24 hours a day, you cannot use the word “liberty.” That is the relationship between a master and a slave. And governments that wield this kind of surveillance power swiftly become totalitarian. Trump and his cronies have been handed by bankrupt elites the legal and physical mechanisms to instantly transform America into a brutal police state"
Nice pivot FPS
Hey FPS please name 1 utopian society that has ever existed?
I'll wait......
Are FPS' posts on this site going to be considered his manifesto when he finally loses his mind and goes on a mass shooting spree, or is that going to be done separately?
Good news?
Sanders Vows to Work With Trump Unless He Pursues Racist, Sexist, Xenophobic, Anti-Green Policies
The Vermont senator responded to presidential election with an offer to help Donald Trump “improve the lives of working families in this country,” if he’s serious about working toward that outcome.
From Variety:
Donald Trump tapped into the anger of a declining middle class that is sick and tired of establishment economics, establishment politics, and the establishment media,” Sanders said, echoing some of the themes of his own campaign.
“People are tired of working longer hours for lower wages, of seeing decent paying jobs go to China and other low-wage countries, of billionaires not paying any federal income taxes, and of not being able to afford a college education for their kids—all while the very rich become much richer.
“To the degree that Mr. Trump is serious about pursuing policies that improve the lives of working families in this country, I and other progressives are prepared to work with him. To the degree that he pursues racist, sexist, xenophobic, and anti-environment policies, we will vigorously oppose him,” he concluded.
Must be emphasized: The greatest federal income tax cheat in US history is now the president-elect. And all of the middle-class working stiffs (who can't finagle such cheating) who voted for him are chumps!Quote:

Seriously Druff can we ban this faggot FPS from this thread? It is beyond ridiculous at this point. He is single handedly making it completely unreadable and has been for about 100 pages and counting.

Would they ask this of Hillary? There's rumors that Trump is nowhere near being a billionaire.
He prob. wants to get paid.
In all honesty i think we can all agree that the Democratic party did this to itself. The party heads were determined to see Hillary win just as much as Hillary was. They threw caution to the wind and got way to ahead of themselves.
They are seriously getting to convoluted in their message and forgot who buttered their bread, hard working blue collar Americans.
The DNC let the vocal minorities take the wheel and it has ended in spectacular fashion with the final blow being a Donald Trump victory.
Instead of getting back to the basics they seem to be more like a kamikaze airplane pilot that has committed to the mission. With Keith Ellison at the helm of the DNC id bet a years pay the Democrats lose the 2020 election.
Way to off yourselfs publicly Democrats.
Credit where credit is due, you're completely right.Quote:

Retarded.
People need to pull up their big boy pants and get on with life
Their world isnt coming crashing down...the earth isnt getting blown up....the sun still rose today. Even the markets havent crashed.. people need to get over it and give the man a chance at this point. The guy hasnt even been sworn in yet and people are screaming the world is ending. Sooner or later hopefully they will realize that all politicians lie, and odds are Trump wont do half of the crazy things hes said.

Grade A does excellent job of exposing the hypocrisy of the pro Hillary SJW's that are protesting and freaking out. They should watch this.

Hey are you guys aware of the scandal uncovered by 8 and to a lesser extent 4? just wondering.
Wondering if some Canadians could chime in on this and give an EDUCATED opinion (which means Limitless and a few others can just zip it and stay out of the way)...
+ to add to this meme, im pretty sure that if you have a criminal record, even if its considered something small in the USA, they aren't letting you in.
Ive heard a few stories in the past on how they rejected people who wanted to enter the country but had some "baggage"...
