Watch The Throne
It’s a mad world out there.
The police state and the greatest transfer of wealth upward in human history….which is still accelerating.
Watch The Throne is symbolic of how most people in the 1st world are being treated:
“Convince the broke to invest in the rich.”
Create a shared experience so that they can give money to wealthy people that are openly mocking them about having more than they do.
For the sake of a shared experience, sell people on the idea that if they work hard enough, they can become rich. Then as banks and politicians collapse the economy by treating markets like gambling casinos, use the people’s tax money to finance the playing without paying. The only consequences are for the poor. Loss of jobs, loss of security. You cannot afford health care.
For the sake of a shared experience, sell people on the concept of home ownership - “purchasing” land that nobody really owns with an underlying right of refusal. So if you miss some payments - no home. Don’t pay taxes - no home. It’s only your “right” to own it until they exercise eminent domain.
For the sake of a shared experience, force media to showcase false equivalencies as valid. Fair and balanced means trumpeting failed far-right ideologies where the only thing that trickled down is poverty. The only thing running for office is fascism. The only right you really have is the right to agree, to acquiesce. To road to slavery paved by conservative and libertarian manifestos where corporations are people and money makes freer speech. Class warfare waged and won by the wealthy.
The streets were watching once. Indeed. Now?
Watch The Throne.
