178. Giving a little harder thought to both your posts .....
Edited on Wed Nov-24-10 03:55 PM by defendandprotect
and not sure that we're in disagreement --

but not sure either that we aren't --

I'm saying that TPB/elites -- probably Royals who morphed into capitalists --

are suicidal, especially in their exploitation of nature and humans.

Global Warming, of course, is the proof of that.

Is a suicidal war on nature "ideology" -- ? I don't really think so.

Would we describe it as "class warfare" --? Again, I don't really think so.

It's a war by the few on nature - and it has been given license for that war by

organized patriarchal religion -- i.e., "Manifest Destiny" and "Man's Dominion Over Nature."

THAT is ideed "ideology" and "class warfare" in their rawest forms -- but it is nonetheless

SUICIDAL. It's a difficult conclusion for most to arrive at because most of us wouldn't be

so idiotic or so greedy as to enact suicidal programs, especially in a drive to have control over

others. Yes - that "control" results in profits which convert to power -- but the main drive

that gets these people out of bed every morning is the desire to have control over others.


We pretty much have no "people's" government any longer -- the coup on JFK not only took our

president it took our government. The elites are now substituting corporatism in place of

sovereign governments all over the world. Ironic since it is government which creates corporations.


Overall, I have to disagree with you on the enemy -- it is corporatism which is fascism.

Granted the T-baggers, put in place and financed and run by the Koch Bros. don't seem to agree

with that -- why would they? They are part of this corporatist system -- and imo a step further

into dangerous tyranny because they are a few steps further into disruptive and near-violent

behavior. Only the right wing will profit from violence in America. Violence is the only way

the right wing can rise -- that and stolen elections and lies.


Edited to add a :) --

and to say your comments are interesting!
