American Violence

American Violence

"The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas,
or values or religion, but rather by its superiority in applying
organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact, non-
Westerners never do." ~ Samuel P. Huntington

The latest American slaughter of innocents - at home instead of
abroad - has led to the usual outpourings from political leaders
expressing prayers and sympathy and then switching to attacks on
the evil weapons wielders that completely avoid the social system
relying on massive weapons production and their wielding by
military forces glorified for making wars.

The bloody horror in Florida that took seventeen lives is known
to everyone in the USA but that same population is kept relatively
ignorant of the bloody horror being perpetrated everyday in Yemen,
Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan and Palestine/Israel – to mention only the
Middle East – by people using the armaments we sell them, when
they’re not being used by our own military which we train to use
our weapons to kill people; foreigners, until further notice.

The guilt tripping about guns belonging to individuals from what
passes for liberals and the protection of the right of individuals to
have guns from what passes for conservatives is the two-sides-of-
the-same-coin debate that does nothing to stop the massive profits
of the weapons industry and the attempted perpetuation of the
empire represented by those profits.

The military styled murder weapon used by the mentally troubled
killer of innocents in Florida is the same one used by allegedly
normal military personnel to mass murder innocent foreigners who
are made to seem enemies and adversaries in the same way the
troubled Floridian may have seen his innocent victims.

And the nature of a society which has suicides increasing along with
mass murders often committed by the suicidal must be distracted
by consciousness control which highlights alleged deformities in
individual character while protecting a diseased social organism
now devouring its own along with outside victims.

It is much easier to feel the shock and pain when we see innocent
Americans suffering at the hands of a usually mentally ill individual
but the mind management that keeps us from seeing the massive
horrors that our social weapons problem produces under the control
of a mentally deranged political economics are never dealt with in
what passes for a debate between people manipulated to
disrespect one another instead of the system that manipulates
them into an easy to control divided population of identity groups
that can’t possibly act as a democracy.

This even as that false definition of reality is driven through the
skulls of both into thinking what each has is democracy and the
other threatens it.

Honest well meaning conservatives reduced to geeks confronted
by sincere dedicated liberals reduced to twits while the weapons
makers continue banking hundreds of billions and leave them
clawing at one another with charges and counter charges at
a court owned and operated by the capitalist munitions industry.

The guaranteed outcome of this demlib-repcon hissy fit form of
politics is the continued economics of mass murder when what we
need is a united confrontation with the minority power that needs
to be replaced in order to save all and not just some of the future
victims.

Until we do that suicides, mass murders, both foreign and domestic
and further economic collapse, are not merely threatened, but
assured.
