Cognitive resonance: If Russia annexing Ukraine's Crimea is wrong, then Israel annexing Palestine's Gaza is wrong. USA annexing Native Americans' Land is wrong. Canada annexing Indigenous Land is wrong. Settler Colonialism is wrong.

Berghahn Journals

Making the Case for Kleptocratic Oligarchy

Mainstream pundits, the media, and many academics represent the United States of America’s political system as a democracy, and the vast majority of its middle- and upper-middle-class citizens certainly think it is. I would like to argue against this idea, to propose instead that the US form of rule at present is not a democracy but instead an emergent kleptocratic oligarchy. According to the Webster’s Third International Dictionary (1976), this is “despotic power exercised by a privileged clique,” one moreover devoted at the most mundane level to kleptocracy, or rule while engaged in plunder of the public treasury. This emergent oligarchy is the undeclared alternative base of rule to the demos or ‘people’, whose organized governance constitutes a democracy. Although kleptocratic oligarchical rule is not entirely new to the US—the ‘Gilded Age’ from the 1880s to 1910, marked by corporate ascendancy and control of the US Senate, was very similar in many respects (Phillips 2004: 236–242)—I would argue that the contemporary American oligarchy has new strategies, organization, and objectives.

Wypipo. Babylon. Colonizers. Slavemasters. Dream Hackers. Who will stand up against them?

Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated.

They organize to put the rapist Joe Biden, who approve of the jury action in the Rittenhouse trial, a proponent of the 94 crime bill, in the Oval Office, despite every smart person in America trying to vote for Progressive Candidates. They voted in that rapist and menace, Trump, the election prior. Even Cuomo was a sexual abuser. These people never knew the meaning of consent, how could they ever get it from the governed?!


The voting problem is Idiocracy. The majority of people are idiots and easily manipulated. So even if you prove your point via reason, there are idiots who ignore, and other semi-smart people on payroll who are paid to choose idiocy, to resonate with it and sell it, who will work to undermine reason because it interrupts their paycheck. Instead of fighting colonizer dominance, they capitulate to it.

Instagram deactivated my account. I didn’t spam anyone - it was right after I downloaded a video of AOC and other progressive content I support.
