consentfactory | No, credit where credit is due to GloboCap. At this point, not only
the United States, but countries throughout the global capitalist
empire, are in such a state of mass hysteria, and so hopelessly
politically polarized, that hardly anyone can see the textbook color
revolution that is being executed, openly, right in front of our faces.
Or … OK, actually, most Trump supporters see it, but most of them,
like Trump himself, have mistaken Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and the
Democratic Party and their voters for the enemy, when they are merely
pawns in GloboCap’s game. Most liberals and leftists cannot see it at
all … literally, as in they cannot perceive it. Like Dolores in the HBO Westworld
series, “it doesn’t look like anything” to them. They actually believe
they are fighting fascism, that Donald Trump, a narcissistic,
word-salad-spewing, former game show host, is literally the Return of
Adolf Hitler, and that somehow (presumably with the help of Putin) he
has staged the current civil unrest, like the Nazis staged the Reichstag fire! (The New York Times
will never tire of that one, nor will their liberal and leftist
readers, who have been doing battle with an endless series of imaginary
Hitlers since … well, since Hitler.)
I’ve been repeating it my columns for the last four years, and I’m
going to repeat it once again. What we are experiencing is not the
“return of fascism.” It is the global capitalist empire restoring order,
putting down the populist insurgency that took them by surprise in
2016. The White Black Nationalist Color Revolution, the fake apocalyptic
plague, all the insanity of 2020 … it has been in the pipeline all
along. It has been since the moment Trump won the election. No, it is
not about Trump, the man. It has never been about Trump, the man, no
more than the Obama presidency was ever about Obama, the man. GloboCap
needs to crush Donald Trump (and moreover, to make an example of him)
not because he is a threat to the empire (he isn’t), but because he
became a symbol of populist resistance to global capitalism and its
increasingly aggressive “woke” ideology. It is this populist resistance
to its ideology that GloboCap is determined to crush, no matter how much
social chaos and destruction it unleashes in the process.
In one of my essays from last October, Trumpenstein Must Be Destroyed, I made this prediction about the year ahead:
“2020 is for all the marbles. The global capitalist ruling classes either crush this ongoing populist insurgency or God knows where we go from here. Try to see it through their eyes for a moment. Picture four more years of Trump … second-term Trump … Trump unleashed. Do you really believe they’re going to let that happen, that they are going to permit this populist insurgency to continue for another four years? They are not. What they are going to do is use all their power to destroy the monster, not Trump the man, but Trump the symbol. They are going to drown us in impeachment minutiae, drip, drip, drip, for the next twelve months. The liberal corporate media are going to go full-Goebbels. They are going to whip up so much mass hysteria that people won’t be able to think. They are going to pit us one against the other, and force us onto one or the other side of a simulated conflict (Democracy versus the Putin-Nazis) to keep us from perceiving the actual conflict (Global Capitalism versus Populism). They are going to bring us to the brink of civil war …”
OK, I didn’t see the fake plague coming, but, otherwise, how’s my prediction holding up?
