This would be a great meme if politics were that black and white or good and bad, but there has been too much blurring in society and government, especially now that more people know Corporations are in control.
Property ownership, greed, power and control is more important than human beings. The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Wolfe, tells the truth about Corporatism and control-how after man made or nature made disasters, corporations and the US Government, which is actually the same thing, sweep in to the disaster area and take over the people and the State or Local or Country governments to make Bigger Corporations with more Ownership of all the property. The people may be left with scraps, but usually are given poverty, and then blamed for not taking responsibility for their lives.
People don't want to believe that this is happening in America as I speak, has been happening for decades. The Corporations are stealing our homes, our jobs, our money, our health, our freedoms, our rights, our priorities, our spirit, our energy and our government.
The stress and trauma of all these losses are now dividing families, groups, religions, politics, friends, allies, dkos in ways that continue to Shock and Awe me.
I lost most of my stuff years ago due to the loss of my wealth-which was my health, so I feel I am a bit ahead of this game. But now I am losing some people most near and dear to me as they are being forced to focus on fighting to keep their stuff and resenting the weakened members of their family that they are being TOLD are holding them back with their bad health and needs.
If you haven't yet lost all your stuff, or been divided against some family members consider yourself lucky because it may be in your future.
I keep telling myself that perhaps the life lesson is to accept that the truism 'We come in alone and we go out alone" is the real deal.
Anyways, in this process I am losing my passion for politics and see too many similarities of Democrats and Republicans who seem to have more Property values than Human values. Yes, there are still individuals in politics still speaking out for the rights of my fellow human beings but they are in the minority and the Corporations are lobbying hard to GET them also.
How the hell does one vote now after knowing of the Shock Doctrine?
If you have an answer please share. Thanks.
