  1. Hasn’t Herr Drumpf built a wall around that lady yet ?…

  2. American Bardo

    Finding ourselves deep
    In the American Bardo
    Of almost total delusion

    1. “American Bardo”, how quaint and reassuring, yet pseudo-hip and fashionably out of date (Zen is back Wiccan bitches, I got your penis transplant right ovuh heahhh!!!).

      1. Keep up the great work.

        1. EmileZ seems to endure in spite of my best efforts.

  3. Although I have been having “bad thoughts” about what I have termed “the internet left” as of late, I found this particular article published on Dissident Voice to be marginally edifying (I am trying to sound smart) if only because it quite correctly in my view, makes some headway into clarifying just what the fuck Sheldon Wolin may have meant when he coined the baffling term “inverted totalitarianism”.

    1. One of the main reasons I have been disappointed with the internet left as of late is that they take the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) reports seriously, which I would liken to taking a figure such as Eugene Robinson’s political analysis (as a whole) as informed and credible.

      Everyone keeps talking about goals for the year 2050 and such. Well folks, I hate to break it to you, but we will all be dead long before 2050 and almost certainly (1% being the almost / 99% being the certainly) by 2030. I give it 50/50 that we will make it through the next year or so.

      1. The next time you see some eminent climate scientist talking about sea level rises at the end of the century, just know EmileZ is turning crimson with frustrated outrage and his computer screen is being sputtered upon.

    2. Think of regulatory capture, where the government regulated institutions capture their regulators, such as the too-big-to-fail banks that now regulate the government, instead of the government regulating these banks.

      Inverted totalitarianism is regulatory capture on a grand scale.

      Democracy Inc. (the corporations) now regulate the government and elections, as the recent Gilens and Page study documents the negligible effect elections have on government policy.

      In conventional totalitarianism government policy, such as world conquest, drives the corporations.

      In inverted totalitarianism corporate policy, such as world conquest, drives the government.

      Now here comes the TTP and its negation of corporate accountability through the courts.

      1. Can it really be so simple???

        1. The Arctic (and the sea in general) is like a big air conditioner for the planet which is about to overheat and explode like a huge nuclear powered global carburetor.

  4. Donald Trump sings “I’ll be your Mirror” by the Velvet Underground to America.
    Like him or not, he reflects what we are.

    1. Indeed.

  5. oops,no edit/delete button?… she’d have to uncross her fingers then….

  6. should she be holding a christian cross?
