Well, of course there are some genuinely crazy and fucked up people, but I that the the proportion of the fucked up ones to reasonable ones is much lower than the media would have you believe. The longer they can convince you that there is conflict in America between two fundamentally different types of Americans, the longer they can distract you from the fact that they're fucking you up the ass and laughing all the way to the bank.

You wanna know why the Arab spring happened? It didn't happen because of some fucking conspiracy by whoever you happen to believe controls the world this week. It happened because people couldn't afford food any more. The entire world is feeling the beginnings of the collapse of a 40 year orgy of a credit cycle. You think you have it bad in the US? Try living in a country that doesn't own the reserve currency and can't export it's inflation. The price of rice in Vietnam jumped 37% in the last year, and they export the stuff! Everyone in the world is having to debase their currency to keep up with America and the Eurozone. Arabs are tossing out their leaders because in addition to being tyrants, they simply weren't keeping them fed.

What will you do when you can't afford to feed your family any more? Will you blame your fellow Americans, like your rulers(yes, they rule you, don't pretend they don't) would like to to do, or will you put realize that you have more in common with the people you're supposed to dislike than you had ever imagined. I hope the latter. Hard times are coming. I hope that people, especially us in the west, come to realize why these hard times are here and how best we can deal with them together, instead of fighting with one another.

If you think everything I said was bullshit, fair enough. I don't need you to respond to tell me so. If on the other hand, you have some real criticism or comment about what I've said, I'd love to hear and discuss.

Peace
