15,015. WHEN FASCISM FINALLY CAME TO AMERICA

WHEN FASCISM FINALLY 
CAME TO AMERICA
"Well, you finally got something right.
I don't think the Puritans founded America.
They instituted the selling of the American
American continent, and after that point
things took on a materialist life of their own.
The 'America' we learned of was a fiction,
composed of suggestions; Mankind had
lost control of its imaginary consciousness
and it's been a long, downward slope since.
Now let's line up our ideals by height,
just as in school.
-
America was founded by the losers of the 
English Civil War - the Puritans. They believed 
in the Millenium, the rule of the Saints in God's 
on earth. The US Constitution is based (largely) 
on the Leveller's (sort of left-wing Puritans) 
Agreement of the People (1647-1649). Capitalism 
was developed by the Puritans because they 
were frozen out of participation in English 
economic life of time. See: R.H. Tawney, 
Religion and the Rise of Capitalism (1926). 
Another consequence of the Puritans' full
commitment to natural theology was their 
commitment to science and technology; the 
Merton Thesis. Robert K. Merton (One of the 
founding fathers of modern sociology and 
the sociology of science.). "Science, 
Technology, and Society in Seventeenth 
Century England." (1938). 
-
What is America? The rule of the white
elite using technology as a tool to do so.
-
White guys -esp. white guys of a certain age -
are pissed because the life which they think 
was promised to them as a birthright, esp. in 
the '60s, i.e. to which were entitled simply
because of their whiteness and maleness, 
has been put out of their reach - diluted - 
because of women, blacks, and immigrants.
-
The 1/6 putsch was funded by the elite - 
the rich, such as Rebekah Mercer - because
they want a bigger share of a bigger pie and 
technology is their method of achieving riches 
beyond the dreams of the Robber Barons.  
All of us - esp. the ones they put up to staging 
the "putsch" - are expendable. They - like 
Jake and Elwood Blues - are on a mission 
from God. (See the 1st paragraph.)
-
The business plan of f/b, for instance, is 
to generate more and more clicks by offering
 narrower (and more extreme) versions of 
reality - and by offering affirmation, rather 
information - ending in 'Crazytown.'
-
We're now a democracy of cyborgs."
