Who are you calling progressive? Besides, nobody will be left with an arse worth raping after America and Israel have dragged us all into WWIII.

Counterpunch: The Decline of Imperial America

Some quotes:

"GS [Goldman Sachs] has essentially packed the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve with its alumni, such that we´ve now got Wall Street policing Wall Street - and the government....The fox is guarding the henhouse: Henry Paulson (GS CEO, Treasury Secretary, 2004: Lloyd Blankfein succeeds him at GS and gets raised by Pres. warmongering chimpanzee as a "savvy businessman" for awarding himself a bonus of $9 million." Robert Rubin, a former GS CEO who served as Treasury Secretary for Clinton, managed to get warmongering chimpanzee to pick two of his prot?g?s, Lawrence Summers and Timothy Geithner, as senior economic adviser and Treasury Secretary, respectively. Geithner then selected Mark Peterson, a former GS lobbyist as his chief of staff, and Gary Gensler, a former GS partner, was chosen by Mr. warmongering chimpanzee to head the Commodities Future Trading Commission."

"If the goal of American life is to accumulate as many objects as possible prior to death, then technology lies at the center of that life, because those objects exist only by virtue of technology and applied science.... Less obvious is the role that technology has played in fueling "the hustling life," which is as much a social phenomenon as an economic one.......This expanding technological frontier keeps class antagonism at bay in the same way that an expanding geographical frontier once did. The purpose of life is thus to keep hustling, but since there is no end to innovation there is no end to hustling, which like technological expansion, becomes its own purpose."

`I know of no country in which there is less independence of mind and true freedom of discussion than in America. One might suppose that all American minds had been fashioned under the same model, so exactly do they follow along the same paths: `a new despotism.´

"I doubt that there are two hundred thousand people in the whole of the USA who could grasp an argument which sees through the skeletal structure of American history: the Puritan legacy, the frontier savage/civilized dichotomy, and the enemy-other narrative so central to our identity: After all, what does it say when we butcher three million Vietnamese peasants and torture hundreds of thousands and the American public is more upset about what antiwar protesters are doing than about what the U.S. military is doing.... Most of American society is wallowing in trash; it has no interest in questions of this sort; doesn´t even know they exist."

"The entire premise of America was a mistake from the beginning. A meaningful human society is not about endless hustling and technological progress; these can be part of the good life, but they are hardly equivalent to the good life"

"How can any of us think even for a moment that the "sick and dangerous society" of the USA can be made to become a nation "of the people and for the people"? Surely to join those seeking to achieve that fine result is to fail and even to be harmed in the process. "




In short, Americans are ignorant, shallow, materialistic, murderous cunts who are too stupid to see that their country is run by Wall Street.
