We social investors - in varieties religious and store-bought - are getting our money's worth these days and just had to thank you all down there for your unequivocal cooperation. When you sell your options along with your time - for wages, stipends, and many for nothing at all - all the options are ours with which to play. That's embarrassing for you maybe, but heaven on earth for us. Your dedicated and predictable anger and dismay at being fooled again, blaming each other is so expected and comforting. When you sell short, that's all you have left - fault. That's what makes us better than you. Your reasons to thrash, crash, and burn only strengthens our hold. Thank you so very much.... Honest, you'll be rewarded after you die. But for now - we appreciate your undying devotion to playing small roles in our big game.
We now - and quite rightly so - get to spend our time dreaming up new ways to make best of this recurrent and overflowing treasure.
Outsourcing rioting (as done by the socially-inhibited "left behinds") can snare these unemployed Islamic youth with jobs. It gives American, Canadian, English and other "advanced" spectators more voyeuristic allure by association: a sense of purpose. That's a great one! You do our work for us. Where there's fire there's smokey confusion. Us up here and you down there. Simply precious!
We just wind several groups up with less or more of something that matters so little to us - quality held in check as quantity - with which to direct a sense of worthlessness, and away you go. Amidst this rare moment of lucidity, we want to clarify what we are accomplishing, especially since you haven't the wit or wherewithal to alter our plans: 1) Some of us can use this "unleashing" to keep the world's employed under control. 2) Some of us can use these unemployed to prevent real rebellion. 3) We all can use it to further the extraction potential of social power inherent in the ownership of time and space, here and now.
We rulers - cleric, bureaucrat, and banker alike - have come together through this staged series of events. Formerly opposing one another - as feudalist and capitalist - we now conjoin, having all of you "down there" in common. Hordes to sow and to reap as we see fit. Your submission is what's important here - and your current ways of displaying it couldn't please us more. You leave us with but... decisions, decisions, decisions. We're grateful you don't form a global directly-managed network of neighborhood and workers' councils like was begun in France 1968, Spain 1936, Asturias 1934, Kronstadt 1921 - joining together and wresting your one commonality - the social relations of production - from us. That's why we supply you with all your demands; nothing changes but our cyclic responses (and your uncanny accomodation) to each delightful crisis again and again and.... Just call it our duty to humanity.
So many - with so little to offer - to direct.
And, delightfully, so many volunteers with which to do it....
Thanks for leading the way to Neo-feudalism!
We'll remain in touch... but for now, keep it going by yourselves. Frankly, this is quite amusing.
