On a red eye flight to Boston from LA 10 people wake up to a shock. All the passengers and crew have vanished. When they try to contact the ground they make no connections. They land the plane only to discover that things haven't changed. But its like the world is dead. No one is there, the air is still, sound doesn't echo, the food is tasteless.
And a distant sound is heard coming closer. A race of monstrous beings bent on their destruction is heading for them, eating everything in sight.

And we are confronted with holding them back, or creating a new world that allows us to live, and the planet to survive, but they don't care. When Romney was running Bain and destroying communities, he was praised by his ilk for cutting out all the deadwood and debris, even from companies that weren't in trouble.
So the deadwood was really the working people, that they want to eliminate from life. I have considered if they are right. H.G. Wells said that new world order would come, no matter what, and that many people full of beauty and grace would die resisting it, but it would come, all the same. I've decided after arguing with libertarians and teabaggers for a long time elsewhere, that they believe they are carrying out a mission.
To rid the Earth of the people whom they consider unworthy to live. They have a long list, longer than the 47%. They tell us to our face, more and more every day. A Bill Maher quote sums up our goal, and it's an hard and unpleasant one:
In The Great Divide Between Democrats and Republicans, Some Words From Bill Maher To Remember...
"Democrats in America were put on Earth to do one thing... drag the ignorant, hillbilly half of this country into the next century, which in their case, is the 19th."
So we see their winner take all, rip the Earth to pieces as antique and unsustainable, and they see us a fossils of a softer sensibility holding back their view of utopia. I've read libertarian screeds about how the billionaires have a great model for us all to follow, so let's dissolve all the government, and let them create it.
So there is always more than one side. Theirs believes the world should be just the way they want it to be never 'taking prisoners.'
We're like Rodney King pleading:
'Can't we all just get along?'
