...favorable to transglobal corporations, war profiteers and the uber-rich, and to be forced to endure leftwing news about the popularity of socialist leaders, their numerous victories at the polls all over South America, and the rising tide of the remarkable social justice movement throughout the region!
'Boring, boring, boring!'
Powerlessness, when you think you should be powerful, causes painful ennui and its correlative, boredom. ("Batchelet, Batchelet, Batchelet..."
We should pity these poor U.S. operatives in our embassies, who long to torture Leftists and throw them out of airplanes, who worship corpo-fascist power and can't find a market for it in newly democratic, progressive South America. 'Oh, for the days when the U.S. embassy called the shots, literally called the shots, that toppled Leftist governments, cancelled elections, instigated riots and chaos, rounded up 'subversives' and disappeared them by the thousands, and installed friendly dictators with their colorful military parades and openness to any kind of plundering and profit!'
"Batchelet, Batchelet, Batchelet..."--'I'll bet she squealed when they tortured her daddy to death. Bet she could be made to squeal now, ha-ha! Look at her mugging it up everywhere for the cameras, smiling royally at her adoring lumpen proletariat, courting students and communists, just like Allende. No, no, no! Think subtle. Think savvy. Think, oh, let's see, lesbian honey trap. Yeah, yeah! Bring her down 20 points.'
Same old, same old. Scripts written long ago. But today, in South America, they don't work any more. Thus, boredom, frustration, ennui, petty-minded complaining, fantasies of power, plots that sometimes turn real but fail, fail, fail.
Sad.
