People are beginning to notice that no matter who they vote for they
get the same exploitative neoliberal policies at home and the same
murderous neoconservative policies abroad, which doesn’t do much to
dispel those wacky notions about a permanent unelected government
pulling the strings while the official elected government puts on a
pretend democracy show every few years. It would probably be a good idea
to do something about how
America has the worst electoral system in the western world, how ordinary Americans
have virtually no influence over
US policy or behavior compared to wealthy Americans, and the way the
rigidly-enforced two-party system necessarily creates an extortion
scheme where both parties serve the same plutocratic interests but bully
Americans into supporting one or the other under the threat of losing
civil liberties.
And again, I hate to be a wet blanket, but those defense and
intelligence agencies technically are unelected and technically do wield
an immense amount of power, and technically do have an immense amount
of influence over Washington, Wall Street, Silicon Valley, Hollywood,
the mainstream media, big oil, plutocratic interests, US allies, world
trade, and countless major world events. By restoring power to the
people instead of leaving it all in the hands of an elite class of
secretive agencies and their plutocratic allies, people might feel like
they have a bit more control over what’s going on in their country and
won’t have to make up nonsensical stories about a “deep state”.
If we could pull these steps off, what will these
conspiracy-mongering grifters have to sell to the naive populace? If
everyone trusts their government and feels confident in the democratic
process, who will believe stories about powerful unelected forces ruling
over them? !
