The political/economy of empire

Posted on December 10, 2016 by camelotkidd

The US is an empire, in case you hadn’t noticed. The political/economy of the US empire is the deep state. The deep state in America is largely composed of the military/industrial/complex, the oil and gas industry, and Wall Street. The … Continue reading →

Stage–2

Posted on November 29, 2016 by camelotkidd

US neoliberal and neoconservative elite are going through the stages of grief in the wake of the election of Donald Trump. Judging by the recent McCarthy-style smear campaign in the Washington Post, they’re still stuck at anger. On Thursday, the … Continue reading →

Don’t mourn, organize

Posted on November 15, 2016 by camelotkidd

Trump is going to end the world, as we know it. Or, something. Liberals are always more energized and pugilistic when a Republican president gains power. My biggest peeve with liberals, is that they were aghast at the behavior … Continue reading →

For the good of the country

Posted on November 11, 2016 by camelotkidd

How did a monster like Trump win? The short answer is that Hillary was a uniquely horrible candidate, as I detail here. She was also the establishment candidate in an anti-establishment election. The Democratic Party also bears a large … Continue reading →

Going into one of the craziest elections in American history it’s important to remember how we got to this point. Hint–both parties have contributed to a slow-motion economic crisis. The Republican party, as it exists now, is an absolute … Continue reading →

Hypocrisy is thy name

Posted on October 23, 2016 by camelotkidd

Only our unique American exceptionalism could create hypocrisy so great that it threatens to blot out the sun. Historians have documented that empires fail when the discrepancy between what elites say and what they do grows too large. It’s … Continue reading →

Decorum

Posted on October 16, 2016 by camelotkidd

Let me get this straight. Pussy grabbing is bad, but assassinations, torture, and invading a largely defenseless country are cool? Watching the 2016 Presidential election has been illuminating. In my opinion, what bothers our elite, who are united in revulsion … Continue reading →

He’s Our Boy

Posted on August 29, 2016 by camelotkidd

In the midst of increasingly shrill denunciations of Donald Trump, I’m vainly waiting for someone to acknowledge the obvious. He’s our boy. Politicians and their media allies want to pretend that Trump is some sort of aberrant outlier, but … Continue reading →
