On Conservatism
Note: Only 12 days or so old - I'm actually catching up for once!
Robert Arnold, our national political poet strikes again!!
This time on what conservatism used to be & what it has become under the Republikkkans & their Rich Enablers.
It's kinda long & has an ad in the middle of it.
But, it's worth it to hear this man reveal the truth of the matter...
Text: Conservatism is based on keeping one's traditions, finding comfort in nostalgia & standing firm during any storm.
But, it's no longer just that.
The Rich & powerful have molded it into a socio-political tool to stay on top & steal everybody's money.
So a minority keeps controlling the majority & take their access to a full education, cuts their freedoms & the chance for a decent life.
All we get in return are Fake News, false emergencies & distractions from the theft that's going on.
It's as if only the Rich matter.
For the rest, there's no comfort nor hope of reform nor disaster relief.
The Rich maneuver us with fears that too much change & freedoms can destroy your society.
But, this usually means protecting Rich privileges & the crime of chattel slavery - the owning of everyone who's not Rich.
That's why the Rich crush unions, pay you an unlivable wage & want the elderly & sick to die.
They figure they can replace us with AI robots & but up our lands cheaply.
Conservatism only protects the Rich, monopolies & corporations - they're the ones being bailed out - not the mom & pop stores.
Only the banker, industrialist, share holder & politician ever gets Rich.
Their 'mask' is the same, no matter where you look: Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, etc...
It's always a small minority cloaked in "Divine Right" & our money.
Ordinary folk no longer get any real benefit out of the modern leadership of Conservatives.
Empty promises, illusions & emotional symbols are what they now sell.
But, that doesn't pay your bills nor fill your stomach nor give you any sort of real comfort.
The Rich mean to keep you sickly & too stupid to ever replace them in their gated communities, luxurious homes & fancy party yachts.
What they don't do is to enable any of the Middle Class to earn a true profit.
I'm sure you can imagine how much harder it is to be anyone below that level of 'success.'
All we get are lies, media blitzes & roll backs in our (not the Rich) wages, healthcare & educational chances.
The sellout Republikkkans allow companies to poison communities wholesale!
And don't care to clean their own pollution.
Their con is to be as cruel as possible - while hogging up every possible resource, paying to commit the worse of crimes & stealing as much funds as they can!
What US reform or disaster relief have the Republikkkans passed?
All we hear from their compromised Supreme Court & media outlets are bans, kidnappings, exiles & how well we're all doing.
They've only delivered less jobs, unrealistic wages & far fewer scientific opportunities.
We now live with even higher prices, trillion dollar deficits, gutted unions - plus, a massive wealth flow upwards to line Rich wallets & their aggressive consolidation of global companies.
Only corporations have the freedom to exploit our work lifetime & steal the true value of our work.
Conservatism has only lead to trade disruptions, labor shortages, mass firings, targeted majority, weakened economies & has hurt all small businesses - around the world.
It's the oldest scam: fool people into fearing their own freedoms - yet, make your own voters suffer - make them the victims of the real culture war, Rich vs Poor.
Fearing liberty allows others to rule over your decisions - openly.
It allows for permanent cuts to your wallet, in order to pay someone who's already Rich!
They're just so damned greedy - they want us have to pay them our saved wages in the Social Security!!
It's not their money.
The Republikkkans just feed people lies of what they fear most - so they'll vote against their own best interests.
If things become harder, it's not the Reps' fault - no, it's that foreigner who doesn't understand English, only cleans toilets, picks crops barehanded & who sleeps in an alley.
Yeah, he's 'replacing' you - in the jobs you don't want to do!
Yeah, she's masterminding the grand heist of benefits she pays into - but, isn't allowed to touch.
Yeah, such lies allow you to blame your problems on somebody else & probably make you feel better about yourself.
But, I don't see you taking advantage of doing the open jobs that all those immigrants used to do.
No, your hate (& tariffs/taxes) is now hurting White farmers & threatening to close your smaller hospitals!!
Allowing the Rich to buy both, the land & the building, cheaply.
But, at least, you don't have to think too hard about your government - the Republikkkans (& Rump) are going to fix it all.
Soon, you won't have to think too hard about a lot of things.
Decisions & choices will be made for you...
Conservatism is now a Party that bans everybody & everything that doesn't benefit the Rich.
It serves only itself.
To regain our Constitutional Republic - with its Democratic freedoms - we'll all have to look beyond the so-called chaotic theater.
It's all distractions & lies.
But, once you see the economic theft, then you'll be able to protect yourself & those you love.
Open your eyes...
End.
