The Age of the Imbecile
The World is Turning Catastrophically Stupid. Here’s How Not to Join It.
I’d bet, these days, shortly after reading the headlines, you’ve thought, shaking your head and muttering, something like: “Jesus. We live in an age of impossibly catastrophic stupid.”
You’re not wrong. About a decade or so ago, hot on the heels of the financial crisis, something happened — an old story began to be rewritten, as the world found itself poorer once again. There was an explosion, somewhere deep in the human heart, and a tsunami rippled across the globe — one boiling and bubbling with every imaginable variety of stupid: human folly, gleeful ignorance, self-destructive greed, reckless spite, dim-witted cruelty parading itself as enlightenment.
And so now a tsunami of imbecility is rolling like a slow-motion thermonuclear bomb across the globe. Lightning bolts of foolishness shiver down it. Smoke clouds of idiocy billow from it. Here are the five kinds of stupid wrecking the globe — because your first job, these days, as a human being, is to make sure you’re not being turned into an imbecile by this wave of stupid, too.
Economic stupid is nationalism, populism, or austerity, three words that craftily mean the same thing. It’s the idea that “we don’t have the money to pay for it!!”, whether “it” is school lunches, healthcare, education, parks, libraries, media, or trains. Sure we have the money. What do you think an era of zero interest rates mean? It means that there is so much money sloshing around in the treasure chests of the global economy, so much loot piled up by Jeff Bezoses and Bill Gateses, that there is nowhere left to put it. Not a single place: all the yachts, super mansions, and trophy castles have been bought. Nada left to buy equals zilch interest to lend at. Zero interest doesn’t just means “societies can borrow for better than free and give everyone healthcare, education, an income, and savings” — it means that if they don’t, the economy will go right on cruising into oblivion, because that money will go on piling at the top, instead of doing anything remotely useful, beneficial, or necessary.

Everybody should join and one big collective push, it turns to the pile of shit it really is. Reconstruction goes pretty fast, certainly a lot faster than rotting from the inside/out took.
I see the DS part, when did you add a 'T', is that for 'troll'?The perfect Christmas gift....for you and half a dozen more in the forum....and overdose on T D S

THE American slebs were out in force for the US midterm elections. Demanding everybody vote against Donald Trump.
Beyonce, for example, urged everyone in Texas to vote for the Democrat candidate. She wanted to see Republican Ted Cruz unseated. Ted Cruz won.
The godawful Taylor Swift backed the Dems in Tennesse with a semi-literate essay on social media - and their candidate lost
The godawful Taylor Swift concentrated on Tennessee. She wrote a long, semi-literate essay on social media in support of the Democrat candidate. The Democrat candidate lost, the Republican won.
Rihanna shoved in her own two pennysworth, against Trump. So did the utterly pointless Kim Kardashian.
For months before the vote, actors and pop singers were howling at the moon. Screaming for people to get out and vote. To get rid of the horrible Trumpster. They expected a “blue wave”. A tsunami of fury against the man they hate.
They thought their beloved Democrats would carry all before them. And what happened? Donald Trump secured an astonishing triumph. He became only the third president in 100 years to GAIN seats in the important Senate – while losing control of the less vital House of Representatives, but that won’t bother him too much.

The message to these whining slebs is very simple: We don’t give a monkey’s what you think about politics. We’ll buy your records, maybe, and still watch your films. But when you open your mouths about politics, we’ll do the precise opposite to what you suggest.
The same is true over here. We might enjoy Emma Thompson’s acting and Steve Coogan (when he’s being funny, which I think was about seven years ago).
But we either take no notice of their political opinions. Or do the opposite of what they suggest.
Just like the American voters, we know the slebs are the pig-ignorant rump of a very affluent liberal elite.
US President Donald Trump calls CNN reporter 'rude' and 'terrible person' during press conference
They live inside an echo chamber. They think they know better than us. But when it comes to understanding the lives of ordinary working-class people, they know less than Jack s**t, as the Yanks would put it.
The sooner the lefties understand this, the sooner the Left might win an election. Somewhere, anywhere.

The 3 most insane conspiracy theories Republicans are using to avoid counting every vote

I'm waiting for the "big" conspiracy theory that leads to the end of the vote.
Indeed. The way it is going now..... it could become a reality. It is really quite incredible. And we are watching this in real time..(and yet those that it affects the most can't seem to see what is happening......... OR ) they support/ encourage it. The trajectory could be very unpleasant.
Do you believe that illegal aliens should be allowed to vote in American elections ? Would you also allow that in Canada ?
