The Fruit of Neoliberalism

Pop Culture Propaganda

The Extraction of Wealth

Politics is a tangled web of lies. Purposefully Spun; insidiously premier, [from descending memos] of a high-powered neoliberal "Deep State." This coup of manufactured consent is orchestrated with overwhelming force; thusly, hammered via its indestructible-propaganda-apparatus - the Mainstream Media, as the right wing tends to reference. Additionally, this apparatus incorporates Hollywood influence and the assistance of social media technocrats in Silicon Valley, to produce what is admittedly a well oiled Cabal; persistent in action by way of business interests, war profiteers, and other deeply pocketed tycoons of corporate industry. There is a two-faced reality that transpires: behind the scenes of decorum, conventional wisdom and social norms; the monstrous prime evil evidence of organized and discrete shadow government influence.

This systemic corruption; directly survives, through the shroud of confusion [created by these propaganda techniques]. By design, the resulting confusion fosters malevolent polarization. The key fruit sown by neoliberalism: a nationally polarizing divisive aura, compete with the funneling of wealth and resources from the laboring working class of the country to the top 1%. Long gone are the days of the fourth estate holding accountable such crooked politicos as Richard Nixon; at the present, manufactured consent sufficiently satiates bewilderment. Empty virtue signaling, casting doubt, and placing blame are the usual "Red Herrings" de jour. Anything they can do, they will to distract from the accurate diagnoses - that could lead towards alleviating the important systemic issues which plague our country. In so much, all its propaganda affect renders the American people jaded through the lens of “us against them” bandwagon mentality. More specifically, the current dilemma emotionally exhausts our entire collective national attitude. One could easily make a connection between the regular working people of the United States and a despondently forlorn victim of violent long term abuse.

Once every semblance of factual evidence or logical basis has been utterly tainted by disingenuous attacks; via propaganda’s drive towards logical fallacy, the next course of action leads on route an ultimate ethical liquidation. Chiefly, targeting the very relevance concerning concrete facts; weaving false equivalency within debate, in order to institutionalize the abundantly evident corruption.

Lastly; the accomplished result is consummated by way of false equivalency, whataboutism, and other promulgated logical fallacy techniques. From this final rite in the steps of such ritualistic magic of logical illusion; out of the fire, is grotesquely summoned -bull shit economic turd neoliberalism.

How to spot Neoliberalism? Well...If you think Iranians need American military cooperation to not be terrorists...neoliberalism. If you have no desire to change governing policy that assists the government surveillance program; violating individual privacy...you are a neoliberal. If you constantly throw out “corporate news buzzwords” or echo “conventional wisdom;” mixed with identity politics marginalization, congratulations, yes. That is most certainly neoliberalism.

If you think that the intelligence community (that said there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq) is a “mighty fine” source of information from which you might build an entire worldview - yes. If you have Trump derangement syndrome; thusly, base your opinions off the opposite of whatever Trump is making an agenda...yes. That is red scare "Russia-Gating" 101... Neoliberalism.

If you think Barack Obama didn’t arm rebels in Libya to [overthrow Gadhafi] and create a “failed state“ - with slavery! A once prosperous nation; now harboring young men on auction blocks, like 18th century America...guess what?? I think you might posses some neoliberal leanings.

If you think Joe Biden, who wrote a crime bill that substantially, [influenced the incarceration of thousands of blacks for long amounts of time] while having a son with a drug problem. If you buy that a Senator who orchestrated the Iraq war and played an intricate role in every war thereafter is NOT a warmonger...

These logical fallacies must be refuted. The cycle of neoliberal policies that grant immeasurable wealth to only a global minority handful must be broken by any means necessary. If it only rains on wet ground in the marsh, how will the crop sow fruit? It is a devastating observation how an impoverished common American can attribute themselves to two political parties that are fed solely by their labor and expendability.

The way these partisans make excuses, justifications, obfuscations, and hum drum obsequious comments in the endeavor to aide the privileged few. An apropos example would obviously be the “Trump Supporter.” One former businessman; renowned for slimy antics, who made a living doing his best con jobs on regular folks. As a slumlord, shitty boss, lying douche, racist maniac, cheating husband, and pussy grabber. With the torch of Republican statesman - all history melts away. Victims of his own unethical behavior now throw in with comradery to his agenda. All is forgiven.

Although these people have absolutely nothing in common with such an elitist, mouth-breathing, narcissist; the free world, who now possesses him as commander in chief of the armed forces (and with a single stroke of pen could change the fate of humanity) might yet outdo their previous crimes of humanity.

If I didn’t know the power of the office and was naïve to the campaign finance contributions he received while in office; and then I was charged to clear the image of a shitty party that evolves with polling and focus groups and identity politics and gaslighting …

Do you think these things? Are these behaviors part of a broader ideology? Yes. Let’s just call things for what they are. A spade is a spade. And you my friend, are a "Neo liberal."
