America as the storybook lie is dying a horrible death. It’s like it is being strangulated over a 12 part multi season Netflix series. The America of fabricated dream is gasping horribly for air while losing control of its bowels as well. This is an awful but compelling show.
The rise and fall of the American empire in four hundred years is not much to brag about. It was devoted to the whore Progress, the modern god of corporate and industrial bliss. No god has been so elevated to have been so degraded, so quickly. She is a pathetic deity, a goddess of pocketbook change and twisted smile.
America was going to invent a New World based on genocide, slavery and indentured labor and call it Paradise. This is what we are clinging to: the American Dream as it bleeds into the American Nightmare.
The American story is about the abuse of Nature. It had its roots in England, but quickly surpassed its beginnings by extraordinary effort, which gave birth to the meme of Exceptionalism. America, as it turns out, was destined to do what no other nation could do: inaugurate the fag end of the Kali Yuga.
We have done something amazing! We have abused Nature with such rapacious extraction and infernal fire to generate capital like no one else. We are the armies of Mordor!
The volcanic orange fury of exalted greed has vomited the bipartisan Lord of Power, King Baby Trump, to bless us with his fuming diaper that will choke us to death.
