For those of you looking to slay the great beast that was predicted by #Revelations, @realDonaldTrump, solely as a consequence of his gender degrading rhetoric, his #homophobic idioms (soon, soon), vilification of #immigrants, #demagoguery, digression filled and tangential commentaries of the state of the world; I reflect upon the similarly expressed assaults that have come from your very own minds and were spewed onto the internet in your own personal daily, if not hourly, diatribes. Along with your ass displays, crotch bulging tattooed self indulging photos, #WorldStar histrionics, body shaming sermonettes, you are exactly the type of audience this sensationalist melodrama is geared towards.
You pride yourselves at being a modern day Proudhon when you are more like the worst of his xenophobic alter ego. Donald Trump is the typical Great Harlot, the #Whore of #Babylon, which rides upon the seven headed beast that is you. He is a mirror reflection of what is wrong in society, the blithering King of blithering idiots. Crass, poorly educated, clownish, incapable of expressing himself in any guise other than this pseudo-macho display we see on the internet or television, a manifestation that you and your cohorts of media vultures revel at his every verbal incontinence. And you all feed the fire of this idiocy because as a society you have become the lowest common denominator.
Even for those who espouse an ideology of fair play, social equality, handshakes and hugs over exclusionism, injustice and hatefulness, there is that tendency to display similar behavior; even a hateful demeanor; defriending and blocking comrades for whom you have broken bread and suffered dearly at the hands of the petulant beasts of the constabulary. Thomas Jefferson once wrote, "I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend," such spirit seems lacking these days.
Our current political coliseum has been brimming with unruly disheveled warriors full of the wine of self importance and arrogance, cheered on by an equally inebriated crowd, high on their own narcissism. Drunk with influential supremacy, these political behemoths have either slain their opponents cruelly or watched as they fell into a drunken stupor of irrelevance and trampled them beneath bloodied feet, and now they stand toe to toe in what has become an electioneering circus without honor, class, grace or even a hint of intellectual prowess. This election cycle has delivered to the American people, nay the world, a political drama reminiscent of vaudevillian slapstick, vacant of any real intelligent discourse, lacking in the ancient traditions of the pantheon, more seditious than unifying, less informative than it is inflammatory, this arena will soon explode with civil spite and insurrection. We are at the precipice of political annihilation in this country; we are delivering to a self-indulgent generation brought up on a philosophy of ‘Anything for #LOLZ’ and animated buffoonery, a severely hobbled political contest, a system by which we the people choose our own representatives, and it is about to explode into uncivil war.
Want to see the future of America, then look to Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq and the rest of the unsettle Middle East, for therein lies the consequence of uncivil behavior and the fireball antics of a boorish populace and its loutish leadership.
