Peak Corruption?

What a f****** bizarre world we live in!

From printing trillions of worthless dollars to schooling our children that all white people are inherently racist, the leadership in all areas of life in the Western world have gone to the final chapter of this tragic novel, Peak Corruption, where any excuse is used to keep fraudulent mechanisms in place to sustain the massive wealth transfer from the many to the few.

You even find organisations like BLM getting in on the action, apparently amassing USD90M (in 2020) in "donations" from white liberal self-haters and extortion payments from corporations hoping that this group (and others) will look the other way when the time comes to burn-down their brand.

Politicians, who always wave the corruption flag proudly, have gone beyond all decency with their constant ranting against a system that benefits themselves more from than practically anyone else. Is their an adult present in the U.S. government?

So this is what peak corruption looks like, what people have been warning against for the last half century. This is what happens when the sheep are lulled to sleep, more concerned with their TV shows, fast food, cheap crap from China, drugs and alcohol, and God knows what else.

Well, you bought it, you wear it.

Perhaps it is decadence, or the signs of a civilisation on the brink of collapse, but not completely...

The most interesting things are the ones that people could care less about...such as their own complicity in the overall corruption scheme.

As always, it's everybody else's fault (punctuated by the peak (systemic) irresponsibility...identity politics).

The Romans invent the circus, we have Football, TV and internet.

Corruption is nothing more than the human trait that everyone has to a certain degree. Greed, wanting more than you have or need.

Like most things, it's a matter of degree, but once you go over the invisible line, ugliness is never far behind.

Your bitter contempt for people other than yourself tells us more about you and your ideas than your words.
