Who will save the republic?
I write that as a socialist, knowing full well that "the republic" means the machinery in place to optimize exploitation. (The government is only the executive board put in place by the oligarchs.)
But it's an improvement over raw tyranny ... the alternative to democracy is slavery. We came out of slavery and serfdom, but that's where we're headed, so "fulfilling the bourgeois revolution" has always been my motto. You know, stuff like "rule of law". (Pressing for that brings to light just how corrupt things really are.)
But who will do the work?
Yuppies and their kids have learned that phony bullshit is how to make money, and that authenticity is most often subject to arbitrary punishment. (Most do-good organizations are headed by the most incompetent wannabes you can find.)
Who let Hurricane Katrina turn into an unmitigated catastrophe? Well-paid yuppies.
Who profited from corporations like Enron, and from financial schemes like phony low-interest mortgages? The same buncha yuppies.
So: the oligarchs are obviously sociopaths, and the yuppies are merely corrupt and hypocritical.
Who's left?0_o
happy birthday to me
