"This reality is unsustainable. How and when the systems of power currently in place self-destruct, and when, remains an open question. Poverty, By America, isn’t just for Americans! We export it globally." Unsustainable is the operative word and the hedonism is an abomination as well.
How can it be that so, so many impoverished and oppressed people seem to admire and applaud such morbidly rich people. I call it our new feudalism where the serfs and peasants don't question their roles, their subservience. It is shocking to me that there has not been a revolution to repatriate the stolen wealth.
Maybe there will be a "Let them eat cake" moment soon.
Is it possible that at the heart of our discontent lies a feeling that too many of us have been robbed of the opportunity to “pursue happiness”? What is happiness if we are hungry and lack shelter? How can it be that in the richest nation to have ever existed, millions of us suffer from food insecurity and are one month away from homelessness?
If we look deeply into the appeal of the MAGA movement, we see anger at the theft of the “American Dream”. The brilliance of the Oligarch’s scheme is to redirect that anger at the Democrats. The MAGA folks have a right to be pissed off. Perhaps if they realized who had stolen their livelihoods, they could join the "others" who are also disenfranchised and we could have the peaceful revolution we desperately need.
Democrat to MAGA - you have the same problems as people of color. Join together to fight your real enemies - the Oligarchs - the white collar crooks who have stolen the National Treasure.
When a major company offshores its production, it hurts every color. When social services are cut, it punishes every shade of skin. When food producers raise prices under the cover of "inflation" publicity and make record breaking profits - it starves humans, all humans who have limited income.
I am continually stunned at how much poor whites and poor people of color have been brutalized by a campaign of lies that rival that of the Third Reich. It's really right out of and Orwell or Huxley novel. I guess it's the old "divide and conquer" strategy.
Every time I hear people chanting, "USA, USA, USA," similar thoughts run through my head. A nation of delusional people, many of whom wouldn't change even if you showed them who is behind the curtain. Corporations do not feel compassion, and I cannot think of a single billionaire who should get to keep that much capital.

It is the gross resource and capital hoarding that causes me the most grief.

I fully agree - insane wealth is nothing less than insane.
