in order to stimulate a grassroots movement to redress any economic/enviro or social problems which, obviously, are already in motion- in order to get the 'people' to react as they did formerly during wars such as ww numbers one and two- and granted this is only a theory, but again it seems that up until reagan era there was potentially a worldwide grassroot energy devoted to solving global problems and overcoming our goddam universal venality/hatreds etc. This energy, which the rightwing political philosophy has devoted itself to destroying, is no longer available! Unless MISTER pig has some notion of running off into outre space kids in tow, seeking another globe similar to urth blah blah blah, then he's pretty well stuck with chaos if/when it comes, just like the written off poor (ie 'we the people') are. We are a doomed species living on a dying planet, and mister pig fixed it that way, because, well, because he's a fukking pig, i guess(?) Somehow the old message that 'selfishness is just stupidity in thoughtless action' has gotten lost as modern understood morality. Aristotle/Plato and all those old 'white guys' the upper class twits always condescendingly evoke, knew about that; Jesus based his teaching on it, yet, yet....GW BUSH ferchrissake! And that was AFTER ronald madonald regan! And the rightwingies dare call themselves Christians!
