That I now come to the Daily Kos mainly to satisfy my intense feelings of superiority over the "progressive" dolts who continue to clog up cyberspace with meaningless gibberish, does not really mean that I am superior.
That the leader of the Western World is a mind numbing idiot pushing the "conservative" agenda (which simply means an agenda dedicated to pushing the entrenchment of European-descended wealth, religious and moral values on a world hostile to western civilization) does not really mean the "Dumocrats" are superior to the "Rebumblicans."
For we are all mind numbing idiots, Dumocrats and Rebumblicans alike, captured in the folds of a history that rushes by like the asian tsunami, an uncaring and utterly destructive force that nonchalantly destroys whatever flimsy human construction stands in its path.
That politics and politicans are completely unprepared to do anything about this onrush except to comment upon it and pass corrupt and cynical "laws" to mainly enrich temselves and their friends means that only the most mind numbed among us truly care about the nonsense that passes for "dumocratic government."
If the 20th Century was the American Century, it was so because the Europeans completely destroyed their continent in a mass genocide the like of which has never been seen before in history. But as in all human events, once it happens once, it will surely happen again, and next time in spades.
Two major wars fought over the carcass of imperial European civilization should have been the death knell for all things "white", "european" and "judeo-christian", at least from a world domination standpoint, but Euro power continued to exist because some adventurous Euros had wandered offshore in the 15th Century and forcefully replanted a new and improved version of the civilization in America.
When European power died, The US saved the day at least temporarily, for the capitalist industrial revolution.
That the US itself could not exist in all its splendor without the wave after wave of exploited immigrant labor, slave and otherwise, who build and sustain it to this day, doesnt mean we are not convinced of the eternal superiority of all things "white", "european" and "judeo christian."
We, of course, would be wrong, as befits any civilization of mind numbing idiots. All things must pass. You can look it up, as they say.
We are fat, lazy and stupid. Our children are fatter, lazier and stupider. Oil, which started and powered the industrial revolution, will soon be gone and we still haven't a clue how to run the machinery without it.
We import our scientists, mathematicians and engineers because we can no longer produce them ourselves.
World capital is now flowing directly to those nations that previously supplied US intellectual power: China, Korea, India, etc. Soon, the economic and political climate in these countries will be such that the intellectuals will not have to leave home to survive and prosper.
Where will we mind numbing idiots and our children be then?
Our supreme religious leader was a drooling old man who controlled his own city along with the single largest portion of the world's wealth, and yet he hypocritically extolled the philosophy of a "messiah" who shunned all forms of worldly wealth and preached steadfastly against all forms of religious hypocrisy!
When this doddering old phony finally died, he was replaced by another doddering old phony who will repeat the same phony process that has been mindlessly glorified by fearful, mind numbed idiots for two thousand years.
Yes, and as western civilization slowly dies around us many fearfully and desperately seek to "resurrect" the "values" that originally "created" our western "greatness."
But these are not "great" souls. They are fearful and desperate souls clinging to mythology and increasingly willing to use lies, self deception and military power in order to maintain world hegemony.
Yes, these are "conservative" Rebumblicans, but these are "progressive" Dumocrats too, just living in a different shade of fear, denial and desperation.
Mind numbing idiots are we all, oblivious to the tsunami that is descending upon our civilization with gathering speed.
