Really intelligent people are above flattery, of course , but ALL your writing is brilliant . Sad to see the H.P. Lovecraft award trophy the victim of WOKE cancellation.

[ " Out of the 120-plus-page document, one section has been singled out in particular by railroaders for scorn. During hearings before the board on wages, according to the PEB report, the railroads argued that labor from railroad workers does not contribute to their profits. “The Carriers maintain that capital investment and risk are the reasons for their profits, not any contributions from labor,” the PEB report said. “The Carriers assert that since employees have been fairly and adequately paid for their efforts… then they have no claim to share in the [profits].” ]
The capitalist ruling class never INVESTED any time or thought in Marx's DAS KAPITAL where he brilliantly expounds his LABOR THEORY OF VALUE .

The NATO hostility to POST-COMMUNIST Russia has nothing to do with the interests of " OUR democracy " or anybody's " democracy ". Since the dawn of the 20th century American imperialist foreign policy has nothing to do with defending and protecting " sovereign " countries and the "freedom " of people everywhere. The mainstream news media in the United States thinks it can sell us war on two fronts, with Russia and China , sell us -with stale Wilsonian blather - nuclear World War III . Ordinary working class people do not plan or start imperialist motivated wars . But HISTORY teaches that they do end them. As if " Sleepy Joe " Biden and his WOKE Democratic Party are not unpopular enough. They are also itching to start war ? Capitalism in crisis - the misery index of the working class is very high now - needs designated foreign enemies . So " TWO MINUTES HATE " for Putin and the leaders of China, North Korea, and Iran. For years now the Democratic Party has been promoting the HATE RUSSIA, New McCarthyism. Working class CHRISTIAN Americans will not be fooled again by " make the world safe for democracy " Wilsonian blather. Have you had a whiff of " OUR democracy " lately ?

Leon Trotsky observed that Jewish intellectual comrade name " Parvus " before 1917 had an " amazing desire to get rich " . Does that hint at the " Russian Thermidor " ?
Winston Churchill observed that intellectual Jews were prominent in Lenin's Bolshevik Party and stood out early in the Communist government of Russia. In exile Trotsky explained at length in " The Revolution Betrayed " that many then in power old Russian Bolsheviks had evolved into a collective " New Aristocracy "- a very false position for Marxist socialists . Could the seeds of this betrayal been there in the young Parvus ? Trotsky observed that Parvus was always " half mad " ... " with an amazing desire to get rich " .
The cult leader of the present day Socialist Equality Party is one David North , also known ( according to credible reports ) as David Green , millionaire owner of a printing company .
A real paradox here - Trotskyist , millionaire capitalist , Enterprising Jew !
The inner contradictions that poisoned once revolutionary Marxist Bolshevism !
Police brutality -in general - was very well explained long ago by Marxist social critics. And Vladimir Lenin elaborated on the role of the police in capitalist society in his revolutionary pamphlet " State and Revolution " . By the end of 1917 Lenin and his Bolshevik communist party were in power in Russia , having overthrown the Czar to the cheers of the workers of the whole world.
Above all the police are there to protect capitalist private property rights - not the public from villains ( that is accidental ) .
In 1968 - THE YEAR of the Tumultuous Sixties - a vexed Mayor Daley, after the chaos and violence of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, asserted : " The police man is not there to create disorder. The policeman is there to preserve disorder ".
Today in 2022 the American capitalist -imperialist system is supported by lies and brutality . The WOKE , " progressive " Democratic Party is setting up an Orwellian police state. They are now telling you that " WAR IS PEACE , FREEDOM IS SLAVERY , IGNORANCE is STRENGTH ". The oh-so-LIBERAL Democrats !

Was Joseph P. Kennedy really anti-Semitic ? Or just telling some unpleasant truth ?
[Like his friend Charles Coughlin (an anti-Semitic broadcaster and Roman Catholic priest), Kennedy always remained convinced of what he believed to be the Jews' corrupt, malignant, and profound influence in American culture and politics. "The Democratic [party] policy of the United States is a Jewish production," Kennedy told a British reporter near the end of 1939, adding confidently that Roosevelt would "fall" in 1940. ]
There must be some TRUTH here. Even today anti-Zionists are accused of anti-Semitism with the mainstream news media hardly concerned with protecting " controversial " FREE SPEECH.
Joseph P. Kennedy's observation of the Democratic Party as " Jewish production " is silly today ? Consider all the ZIONIST Jews in the Biden administration.
WHO is instigating war with Russia today ? The Christian Moral Majority ?
Joseph Kennedy and the Jews | History News Network
HISTORYNEWSNETWORK.ORG
Joseph Kennedy and the Jews | History News Network
Arriving at London in early 1938, newly-appointed U.S. Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy took up quickly with another transplanted American. Viscountess Nancy Witcher Langhorne Astor assured Kennedy early in their friendship that he should not be put off by her pronounced and proud anti-Catholicism.
Stale Wilsonian blather is failing to sell to us common people U.S. involvement in the Ukraine- Russia conflict. So " OUR democracy " is opposed to " autocratic " regimes around the world ? Really ? Have you had a whiff of " OUR democracy " lately ?
" Sleepy Joe " Biden, leader of the FREE WORLD- and American DEEP STATE- once again making it safe for democracy ?
The misery index among working class Americans is not so high as to dull their passionate concern for a " sovereign " Ukraine ? What more does the FREE WORLD -including barbaric Saudi Arabia and APARTHEID Israel - need more than a " sovereign " Ukraine led by the war mongering ZIONIST Jew Zelensky ?
In their past the NATO countries ( including RULE BRITANNIA, England ) were all about respecting and defending " sovereign " people on all continents ? Could not Russia and China have their version of our famous Monroe Doctrine ?
The public education bureaucrats are always working on -with little success - improving the nation's public schools. But democratic socialists have known for a long time the secret of their abysmal failure : since the beginning of the American Republic the public schools have served the interests of the affluent merchant class and from the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in New England have served the wealthy capitalist class now employing millions of WAGE SLAVES.
For more than two centuries the WAGE SLAVES ( apart from the Black plantation slaves in the Old South ) beginning in elementary school were in a DIVISION OF LABOR based TRACKING SYSTEM. A kid asking himself " WHAT DO I WANT TO BE WHEN I GROW UP " - found himself a little later in life being PUSHED by economic fate into just where the capitalist ruling class wanted him to be.
But the daydreams of youth do not die easily . And we get numerous examples of author Theodore Dreiser's " American Tragedy ". CRIME IN THE CITY is based mostly on frustrated dreams of SUCCESS .
As long as the public education system makes itself a pillar of the capitalist economic system - based on mass exploitation and oppression - the public schools will turn out FAILURE AFTER FAILURE.
Most of the kids who do not FALL THROUGH THE CRACKS have somehow learned to self-educate . At least the PUBLIC LIBRARIES worked for them.

The stupid WOKE way to correct racial injustice in the United States
This is the dumb WOKE way to correct racial injustice in the United States . Endless attacks on symbols , monuments , and UNMASKING evidence of politically incorrect attitudes in the long dead , or disgracing some obscure or famous individual who used the N-word or wore black face decades ago .
Would they ever think of going after monuments to the numerous capitalist masters of WAGE SLAVES - like Carnegie , Rockefeller, Vanderbilt , Ford ?
A petty bourgeois " radical " mindset that would daily dishonor and execrate long dead prominent individuals -all products of their time .
Horror writer H.P. Lovecraft a while back was CANCELLED for being too typical of his times. Some fantasy-horror reward in Lovecraft's image and name.
All done by moralizing, sanctimonious hypocrites who will never achieve any real PROGRESS toward a saner , more just world. Just more and more obnoxious , vain VIRTUE SIGNALING . Nope , no racism in ME !

How long will radio keep repeating this foolish Navage commercial ?
Radio bombards us every hour of the day with FALSE ADVERTISING . How long will they keep repeating this foolish " Navage " commercial ? Does it really make sense that we should all clean our nose every day with the Navage just as we daily brush our teeth ? At some point we might be harming HEALTHY nasal membranes . GREED ! GREED ! GREED ! And no mainstream news media science reporter has the guts and integrity to question dubious advertising " facts " ?
No surprise that the WOKE Democratic Party - now guided and instructed by ZIONIST Jews - all pillars of APARTHEID Israel- is actually practicing RACISM in the United States.
If WHITE people are inherently ( in their DNA ) RACIST ,could Jews be inherently ( in their DNA ) MONEY MAD ?
Do not most Jews consider themselves CAUCASION ? Ask Ayn Rand the Zionist author of the right wing cult classic " The Virtue of Selfishness "

The unspoken premise of ALL Democratic or Republican candidates for Mayor of Providence is that their job competition in or out of office , or seeking office is either stupidly incompetent or have a perverse will to harm or frustrate whole classes of people. Governing THE CITY is all about character and " who's the most qualified for the job ". With these gifts they fight among themselves like wolves over a fresh kill deer. Apparently THE PAST proves that Providence voters are routinely poor judges of character. Until the "Candidate- on- the White Horse " shows up in town. How do we know that this time IT IS THE REAL THING ? Because his or her advertising firm tells us so . Or his or her WOKE Ivy League credentials .
It seems that nobody has a chance of getting elected to high office in Rhode Island unless they are certified oblivious to the world of common working class people. If any if the candidates for Mayor of Providence ever had an introductory college course in radical social criticism of American capitalist society , it left their memory hole like water off the proverbial duck's back.
Yes, WHO is most qualified to mislead and bamboozle the voters ? That is the question . DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS need not-or will not- apply ! Our capitalist ruling class always knows WHO and WHAT is best for us .
Friday, August 19, 2022
None of the Rhode Island candidates , Democrat or Republican , for high office here show any ability or inclination to " think outside the box " designed for them by Corporate America, the plutocracy, and the corrupt world of WOKE Ivy League academia. I speak as a long time independent democratic socialist.
They are all nice enough people but they really have no solutions to the profound crisis of decaying capitalism not just in the USA but on a global scale. They all might make excellent administrators in a SOCIALIST society. They will be comfortable but not spoiled .

The CDC seems to think nobody will notice its crimes, and the crimes of its sister agencies, FDA, NIAID, NIH, (and the White House Task Force) if it strolls jauntily into the fall season whistling a happy a tune: Nevermind Covid anymore, la la la…. Did I say crimes? Yes, I did. As in gross violations of the law and the basic social contract.
They lied about their roles in the nefarious origins of SARS CoV-2. They conjured up — already had waiting, actually — dangerous genetic treatments masquerading as “vaccines” and then they faked the safety trials to rush them into use. They denied people proper, effective treatments with inexpensive drugs and killed them with ventilators and remdesivir — solely to maintain a fraudulent emergency use authorization (EUA) that shielded “vaccine” companies from lawsuits. Once the “vaccines’ were widely distributed — and forced upon many people with mandates — they confabulated and hid information about adverse reactions and deaths. They destroyed countless small businesses, livelihoods, households, and hindered children’s development with lockdowns. And they used both social and news media to censor their critics in direct violation of the first amendment. That’s all.
Oh, one more thing: they destroyed modern medicine. They will probably assist in the destruction of law, too, because the legal system will never be able to handle the volume of lawsuits against all parties involved in the Covid “vaccine” mass slaughter — including the corporations that forced their employees to get vaxxed and the pharma companies themselves, who will lose their EUA protections once their fraud is proven. And they will hasten the death of an already ailing financial system that can’t bear the wealth transfers implied in the foregoing (on top of the worst debt crisis in human history).
You think I exaggerate? We’re sailing into the flu season with millions of people whose immune systems are wrecked by multiple shots of mRNA novelty drugs. They are also susceptible to many viruses and bacteria which normally lurk in everybody’s bodily ecosystem, but would be controlled by otherwise healthy immune systems. Likewise, their hacked immune systems are no longer able to suppress cancers — many forms of which are already way up above normal statistical levels. Not to mention damage done to cardiovascular systems by spike proteins, which linger in human bodies for more than a year after “vaccine” shots, as well as neurological and brain damage.
Former Wall Street analyst Edward Dowd said yesterday (Aug 18) that a Society of Actuaries report just made public shows that a 20 percent uptick in excess deaths among working age people, which began with vaxx mandates in the fall of 2021, continued into the second quarter of 2022. Actuaries are the people who compile and analyze statistics for insurance companies.
So, all week the CDC has been walking-back one “guidance” after another. No more compulsory testing, no more contact-tracing, no more social distancing, no more treating the unvaxxed differently than the vaxxed (though the “Joe Biden” regime still won’t allow unvaxxed travelers into the USA), no more vaxx mandates (except, apparently, the US military). Oh, and they’ve conceded that their “vaccines” do not remain in the deltoid muscle, but actually leak all over the body. Note: whatever else the public health agencies are saying or doing right now, they are still promoting the mRNA vaccines, and lying about their safety and effectiveness — because if they told the truth, they would be completely discredited and surely subject to criminal prosecution. And they are still suppressing cheap and effective treatment protocols while promoting remdesivir and the useless (plus expensive) Paxlovid.
The CDC capped the week’s walk-back campaign by announcing a major overhaul of how the agency works. (The FDA and other public health entities made no such promises.) CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, fronting for other little-known federal bigwigs actually called in to clean-up after her, made the hilarious statement: “I look forward to working with the incredible people at CDC and our partners to realize the agency’s fullest potential to benefit the health and well-being of all Americans.” What a dim bulb. Does she know the definition of the word incredible? (Here it is: impossible to believe.)
Of course, the more sobering picture is that virtually all American institutions are now incredible, impossible to believe, starting from the top: “Joe Biden” as president. The executive branch of the government is being run by Barack Obama and a claque around him and is being run into the ground either on-purpose or out of astounding incompetence. Attorney General Merrick Garland flamboyantly disgraces the very idea of justice with Stalinesque political prosecutions. FBI Director Christopher Wray flouts every attempt to extract the truth about his agency’s operations, and at least half the country believes he’s turned it into a secret police operation like the Gestapo. The college presidents and deans have dishonored the idea of truth-seeking with their cowardly submission to Jacobin-Marxist maniacs and their program of anti-knowledge. And who, in America really trusts his doctor? (Not me. Mine is the “chief medical officer” of my network and he’s still pushing “vaccines.”)
We allowed this to happen. We tolerated this exorbitant abuse by runaway authorities-gone-criminal. We let them get away with their bullshit about “defending our democracy” when they are actively and visibly destroying it. Serious people must be seriously asking themselves: what will it take to stop them now?

Sam Harris -and the New Atheism - constitute pseudo-Left support for very ANTI-DEMOCRATIC , global capitalism, American imperialism, and Zionist APARTHEID Israel. What they would offer " OUR democracy " - or what is left of it - would resemble not the " socialism " but the tyranny and the OFFICIAL ATHEISM of the old STALINIST Soviet Union.
Sam Harris has been exposed as complete fraud in proudly RELIGIOUS news media.
To be sure a WOKE Catholic Church is a JOKE Catholic Church. I speak as a longtime democratic socialist. The New Atheists have turned even once intellectually respectable" science " into a reactionary fraud that denies OBJECTIVE REALITY .
Contempt for the FAITH of humanity is no foundation for a mass movement for a better world. It will have EVIL consequences.

The NATO " hero " Zelensky is , in truth , a war mongering ZIONIST Jew - the adored leader of a circle of belligerent ZIONIST Jews now instigating nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia. In no country on earth do ordinary working class people plan wars or start wars. But HISTORY teaches that they do end them.
The mainstream news media in the United States imagines that it can get a majority of mostly CHRISTIAN working class people as excited over a SOVEREIGN Ukraine as one ancient people - 3000 years ago-were over rescuing Helen of Troy. The result again will be the stuff of TRAGEDY ! Zelensky as a modern " Helen " ? What do those 5 million Ukrainian refugees in Poland really think about their president Zelensky ? Stay tuned for the shocking truth !
Since when was IMPERIALIST America all about defending " sovereign " countries ? CENSORED . I take a screen shot .

A democratic socialist America would recognize that it has a vested FUTURE interest in the education , job skills , and critical thinking skills of the younger generation. If higher education were FREE we would have many more dedicated medical doctors, engineers, teachers, scientists. And life long FREE higher education would end the mental and physical slavery inseparable from the present capitalism based DIVISION OF LABOR. Too many BURNOUTS in present day USA ! Pity a proctologist for 40 years ! ( after 20 years he might be happier in general dentistry ) .

My " walking stick " metal cane needed a rubber tip. I was walking toward Jayco Medsupply on Park Ave., Cranston. Entering Jayco's the guy at the counter immediately knew what I needed. The rubber tip cost $3:00 . I continued walking up Park Ave for at least a half mile . I was headed for the Arlington Branch Library . Suddenly ( a senior moment ? ) I realized that my black bag -which contained two cell phones , one for the video here- was missing from my left hand that held it . A moment of dry mouth panic that I have known before when I left my wallet on a RIPTA 21 bus ( later retrieved ) . I returned to Jayco Medsupply . Nope, I had not left the black bag there. I recall stopping to tie my shoe near Budlong Ave and the Cranston Bike Walk where I take my regular Twilight Walk. Walking back another half mile in the now oppressive sunshine and heat I spotted the black bag - LUCKY for me - untouched by any passerby. With a sense of relief I headed for another bus stop which would take me to the main library in Cranston where I am presently . Upon entering the Cranston Public Library I turned to use the Men's Rest Room . CLOSED - OUT OF ORDER. I was thinking of being a wise guy and going into the WOMEN's ROOM ( " I feel like a lady today ! " ) . Instead I went across the street and used the Men's Room at the Whole Foods Market. Returning to the library I noticed that once again my reading glasses broke- now useless to stay on my nose. I had an extra pair in my black bag. A man across from me got angry at a rather creepy guy who farted loudly without apology a few computer stations down on his left. I recognized this " creep" from way back with long gray hair , scraggy dirty gray beard and white ( Russian ? ) winter hat. He once - I recall - assaulted a passenger on a RIPTA bus spraying him with MACE. Just days ago this unpleasant fellow farted loudly again in the library WITHOUT APOLOGY annoying a woman at a computer near him who quickly moved away in DISGUST. The creep said that " it was just a normal body function ". It occurred to me that DISGUST plays a big role in our lives. It could even start nuclear World War III .

Sad to report Richard Dujardin's death yesterday in a tragic -and horrible - draw bridge accident :
["A 77-year-old Rhode Island man was vacationing in Milwaukee with his wife when he died in a gruesome fall as a downtown bridge opened, authorities said.
Richard Dujardin of Providence, Rhode Island, is seen in an undated family photo. Dujardin died when he fell from the Kilbourn Avenue Bridge in Milwaukee as it was opening.
As more details emerged Tuesday about the man's death, questions remained as to how the bridge operator — controlling it remotely — could have missed the man on the bridge in surveillance video. He is now on leave. "]
An ABSURD tragedy right out of an Albert Camus " Notebook " .
From Camus' novel " The Fall ". One religion writer speculated that Camus would come out of the ABSURD cold and convert to Catholicism. But he too died an absurd death in a car accident in France in 1960 having won the Nobel Prize for Literature :
“A single sentence will suffice for modern man. He fornicated and read the papers. After that vigorous definition, the subject will be, if I may say so, exhausted.”
― Albert Camus, The Fall
NOTE : Newspapers are not read as much now as when Mr. Dujardin was at the peak of his career at 75 Fountain St. in Providence. Falling circulation.
Mr. Dujardin wrote with real sensitivity on hot controversial topics like abortion.
Reporting this story this morning 630 WPRO 's Gene Valicenti momentarily reflected on the " cruelty " and " randomness " of the universe . Valicenti is a low key Catholic from an Italo-American background. But even Catholic saints wrote about " the dark night of the soul "
I myself am a long time independent democratic socialist but I completely agree here with Mr. Dujardin 's PRO-LIFE point of view and with his anger at thugs on the left who would attack the FREE SPEECH rights of millions of decent religious and patriotic citizens far removed from their not very democratic ( or " socialist " ! ) GROUP THINK.
Sadly STALINIST history has poisoned many fine minds and good hearts against " socialism " even as an ideal. Yet the social philosophy of Catholic Church is not far removed from pristine socialism . The earl Christians were described as practicing " socialism " not tyranny !

As a long time independent SOCIALIST I think any FBI based " espionage " case against former president of the United States Donald Trump is real FASCIST intrigue worthy of the notorious Stalinist Moscow Trials of the 1930s.
It is the WOKE Democratic Party in the USA that poses the greatest threat to whatever is left of " OUR democracy ".
For democratic socialists the whole concept of STATE SECRETS and CLASSIFIED INFORMATION - behind the backs of WE THE PEOPLE- is itself a mockery of democracy. They are no doubt TOP SECRET simply because they would enraged an informed working class.
As a longtime independent democratic socialist I detect no signs of wicked and evil hearts in these candidates - Democrats and Republicans - for governor of Rhode Island. But none of them show any ability think outside the box designed long ago by Capitalist Corporate America. They all imagine that their outstanding character ( ? ) and charming personalities ( ? ) are all that it takes to deal with the chronic crises of a failing , decaying system. And they talk as if a permanent system of social injustice ( routine capitalist oppression and exploitation )can be blamed on the personal meanness of the present power holders.
Don't expect THEIR public school system to teach critical thinking skills to working class kids. The Ivy League effectively brainwashes upper class kids with more sophisticated WOKE nonsense : And the result ? Privileged kids and working class high school graduates by age 30 cannot even imagine any society much different from " OUR democracy " from our capitalist Way of Life. And few will ever question the righteousness of American Imperialism over all other nation-states. Just what the world on the brink of nuclear World War III needs - more toxic nationalism.
Capitalism always plays a divide and conquer game.Always putting RACE above CLASS the WOKE Democratic Party is going off the cliff come November. How does telling white working class people - without a racist bone in their body - TO GO TO THE BACK OF THE BUS- contribute to racial harmony in the USA ?

We need an American Labor Party
The WOKE Democratic Party obsessed with IDENTITY POLITICS can only hope to win so many close elections by insanely pandering RACIALLY to Black voters , hoping desperately to get 95 % the Black vote. These " progressive " Democrats can do nothing effective for Black Americans as a CLASS , as a big part of the American WORKING CLASS. We WORKING CLASS Americans need to break from the Democratic Party . Both Democratic Party and Republican Party politicians serve Corporate America. If they fail to serve it - the less than ONE PERCENT -they are quickly retired or disgraced. We need an American Labor Party - similar to the British Labor Party but with more class conscious militancy. We do not need anarchy or chaos or HATE or anger at the FREE SPEECH rights of other Americans or impotent threats of violence.

" Violent on line rhetoric " against the FBI
A real lifelong democratic socialist's perspective on " violent on line rhetoric " against the FBI. We have for many decades condemned erratic acts of " individual terrorism ". The SYSTEM - also known as capitalism-imperialism -can easily replace any individual in the ESTABLISHMENT deemed odious in certain FAR LEFT or rather ULTRA-LEFT circles.
It is a disgrace even to traditional liberalism and the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization that today's WOKE , " progressive " Democrats slobber over the FBI as if it were a paragon of the RULE OF LAW. The FBI building is still named after the notorious J. Edgar Hoover. He presided over the nightmare McCarthy era where not a few leftist Jews were persecuted for association with " communist " and " socialist " parties. The Rosenbergs, Julius and Ethel , were cruelly executed for what was never any " atomic bomb secret " anyway.
Sad to say that intellectual Jews " on the Left " are hard to find . Their once sensitive social conscience has been weakened by toxic ZIONISM - which has nothing in common with socialist internationalism.
Radical Black historians have uncovered sufficient evidence linking the FBI with the assassination of Malcolm X in 1965 and Martin Luther King in 1968 . Both Black leaders made a connection between RACISM and capitalism , between RACISM and American imperialism. My favorite Malcolm X quote : " Show me a capitalist and I will show you a blood sucker ".
WE THE PEOPLE - the common working class people in the United States- need our own INDEPENDENT third party - similar to the British Labor Party representing the CLASS interests of the vast majority of the country , people of all races and ethnic groups.
The New England Industrial Revolution still haunts Rhode Island
Walking along the nearby TACO factory I have recollections of hellish factory experience in my youth.I was warned that the prison like Jewelry factories were always OPEN to the next batch of " stupid " high school drop outs.TACO as far as I know has a kinder reputation.But the LOOK recalls the horrors of the early New England INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
Note : I later graduated from CCRI.Nowadays are high school drop outs assured even factory work? I suspect that here computer skills might be demanded of employees.
There is some difference between Democrats and Republicans

As a longtime democratic socialist I see the enduring " conflict " between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party ( both Corporate America controlled ) as a function of the division of labor within the American ruling class. The Republican Party invariably is the true voice of the American plutocracy . The Democratic Party is the necessarily compromising - mostly fake pro-labor, pro-working class - always FALSE voice of the American plutocracy.
The Democratic Party necessarily appears more muddle headed and erratic - and apparently WOKE daffy - to the innately conservative American upper class. The ideologists of the Democratic Party imagine that stubborn social and economic problems - like racism , sexism, homophobia , homelessness, joblessness, environmental decay - can be solved with the enlightened leadership of kind, empathetic ( " I feel your pain " ) now very WOKE Democrats -in contrast to NASTY , uncaring Republicans .
The inner core establishment of both parties - and nearly all of their candidates for public office - simply take CAPITALISM for granted as the eternal order of things. Naturally a world in which the PRIVILEGED CLASS is on top is the best of all possible worlds.
A study of HISTORY proves this somber TRUTH : TIME destroys everything !
Even apart from the social problems of homo sapiens we could be entering a New Permian Age - the last one was also known as the Great Extinction .

There is no scientific honesty in asserting that someone or yourself is a pregnant MALE . The pillars of WOKE nonsense in academia are invariably secular , anti-CHRISTIAN , pro-CAPITALIST, ZIONIST Jews. They never apply their Critical Race Theory to APARTHEID Israel. The reason the WOKE Democrats focus on highly exotic " liberation " causes is their fear of the more fundamental CLASS inequality issue. There are no serious democratic socialists or even serious traditional LIBERALS in the Corporate America controlled Democratic Party. Even Ralph Nader- not a socialist in detail - pointed this out years ago.
I feel dirty just watching this
