you want to understand why the status quo is unraveling, start by
examining the feudal structure of our society, politics and economy.
The
revelations coming to light about Hollywood Oligarch Harvey Weinstein
perfectly capture the true nature of our status quo: a
rotten-to-the-core, predatory, exploitive oligarchy of dirty secrets and
dirty lies protected by an army of self-serving sycophants, servile
toadies on the make and well-paid legal mercenaries. Predators
aren't an aberration of the Establishment; they are the perfection of
the Establishment, which protects abusive, exploitive predator-oligarchs
lest the feudal injustices of life in America be revealed for all to see.
The predators reckon their aristocratic status in Hollywood/D.C. grants them a feudal-era droit du seigneur (rights
of the lord) to take whatever gratifications they desire from any
female who has the grave misfortune to enter their malefic orbit.
Anyone who protests or makes efforts to go public is threatened by the
oligarch's thugs and discredited/smeared by the oligarch's
take-no-prisoners legal mercenaries. (Recall the Clintons' Crisis
Management Team tasked with crushing any Bimbo Eruptions, i.e. any eruptions of the truth about Bill's well-known-to-insiders predation of the peasantry.)
Should the worst happen and some sliver of the truth emerge despite the best efforts of the thugs, corporate media, legal mercenaries and PR handlers, then the playbook follows the script of any well-managed Communist dictatorship:the oligarch predator is thrown to the wolves to protect the oligarchs' systemic predation and exploitation of the peasantry/debt-serfs.
Just as in a one-party Communist dictatorship, an occasional sacrificial offering is made to support the propaganda that the predators are outliers rather than the only possible output of a predatory, exploitive feudal status quo comprised of a small elite of super-wealthy and powerful oligarchs at the top and all the powerless debt-serfs at the bottom who must do their bidding in bed, in the boardroom, in the corridors of political power, and in the private quarters of their yachts and island hideaways.
Media reports suggest that the real reason Mr. Weinstein has been fired is not his alleged conduct over the past 27 years but his loss of the golden touch in generating movie-magic loot for the oh-so-liberal and politically correct Hollywood gang that was pleased to protect Mr. Weinstein when he was busy enriching them.
