They are all sucking rectum to get first in line to buy into The Machine™. They really BELIEVE that it makes a difference whether it's the yahoo in the BLUE necktie or the yahoo in the RED necktie which is Hand Puppet Number One of the Multinational Corporations.
They actually BELIEVE that it reflects upon one's character which "candidate" one supports, that it is a valid basis for ridicule if someone voted for the monkey that lost instead of the monkey that won. They suffer from the asinine delusion that it matters more than the World Series or the Superbowl.
In fact, it's nothing more than an expansion on pro-wrestling - whether the "good" guy or the "bad" guy wears the belt, the script is written by the same people, the paychecks come from the same office, and it's all run by the same folks who NEVER APPEAR ON CAMERA. Even, or perhaps ESPECIALLY the SubGenius may be self-victimized by slavish adoption of the Conspiracy's bullshit.
All I know about politics I learned from Cain & Roy Rogers, and that is the following:
EVERY government is a criminal conspiracy to concentrate wealth and power in the hands of a few, and to suppress dissent among the rest.
Big thieves hang little thieves.
Rich people get richer by getting poor people to kill each other in the name of a phony ideal or threat.
Kill a person and you spend your life in jail. Kill a million people and you ride to the opera in a limousine.
So just SHUT UP. All of you.
Okay for now,
Dok
WELL PUT
OMG ALSO DEPRESSING AS FUCK.
WOW I never thought about this in terms of wrestling, but it makes PERFECT GODDAMN SENSE now. This could actually reach people who are really into wrestling but buy into the two party con.
The sports analogy in general is good. Ill be sure to use it in the future.
I shall try to emulate and remember your words for when people ask me if i'm registered, or who i plan to vote for.
Explaining to Americans why voting doesnt matter anymore is akin dousing a baby in kerosene and lighting it on fire.
"Its a God given right!" (god is irrelevant, another difficult one to explain)
"Our forefathers fought and died for your right to vote!" (I was born in canada, fuck you)
"Without democracy, the US is doomed!" (first, its a republic. Second, its already doomed.)
"If you don't vote, you don't get to complain about the results" (we still maintain the appearance that free speech is allowed, so fuck
you and fuck elections)

Clearly. That's why the Bible talks about how when the US is no longer the only world superpower, the world ends!

The difference between the government and the mafia is the latter has omerta, and the former has the Official Secrets Act.

And the mafia owns some banks, and the government is owned by the banks.

Oh, okay then.
I want to rent one of those Clearchannel billboards on I-10 and put my hairy ass on it, with an arrow pointing to it, saying, YOUR LIPS HERE.

This is me reading essentially every other post in this thread:
"OH, SHIT!"
Also, it pains me how we have literally voted criminals into office and people STILL DON'T GET IT, MAN!
Meh.
Premise: The way to power is by fucking people over and depriving them of theirs. However, it must be done correctly. Awkwardly killing a few people won't get you anywhere.
Conclusion: If I want power I need to fuck some people over in the right way (whatever that is).
Question: How hard, how many, and in what way do I need to fuck people over to make it into that top one percent I keep hearing about?
Moral: If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Quit your bitchin.
Personal ad: SWM, seeking to fuck people over for power.

As of right now the mafia is my favorite branch of the US Government because they don't run ad campaigns.
