(12,712 posts)at this point, it is rather common to see disaster capitalism evolve and spread. Like a rapidly adapting organism, it is gradually eating away what's left of what we have.
The most interesting thing is how it camouflages itself like a chameleon in the sense that it blends in well when it is not hiding under a rock and the tendrils of its media maintain a dutiful, (owned) distance from a phenomena that, as it increases exponentially, will eventually leave most people wondering what the heck happened as they brush the ashes and debris off their heads.
The shock and awe has just begun and watch out for the vultures you see flying overhead and waiting to pick any meat left off your financial bones. Don't be too shocked when someone you know falls victim to the conscripted imprisonment system brought to you by private prisons. More draconian laws and stiffer sentences will be the solution to the pesky unemployment problem we have.
You could almost parody that with a futuristic scenario that rivals the Stasi. Instead of one half of us 99-percent watching the other, it will be one half of us guarding the other half who are in prison. Now that's profit and it is a perfect, disaster capitalist solution. Anybody who sees the stats about imprisonment per-capita can extrapolate where that's going, no matter how far-fetched it may seem.
