(2,941 posts)I see - so we still have far to go in our decline, so we should shut the fuck up until we are all sleeping in cardboard shacks and sewing designer jeans for rich teenagers at .50 a day in sweatshops?
As a mater of raw incarceration, police violence and corrupption, poverty, health care, infant mortality, wealth disparity, infrastructure, opportunity for advancement, racism, and opportunity for citizen participation in Government, we may not be North Korea, but who gives a fuck? We are at the bottom of the Western world in almost every category except for military power. And in states like Texas, Michigan, Mississippi, the poverty IS AT THIRD WORLD LEVELS.

Christ almighty you have to be brain fucking dead to not acknowledge the immense police state infrastructure being put in place to keep our class war from being a hot war.
The more the rich plunder our labor and our wealth, the more they are afraid we may actually rise up against them.
