The Consumers

*

*
Is it wrong to benefit from wrong? Can an American live in luxury and not be part of the guilt of his country? They think that disapproving their government in words excuses them. They can hate their president and they can be against their wars but of what use that when they still go ahead and live the life style. America is a land that is perfecting it for the use of the rich. A breeding ground for the greedy and privileged. Their whole system is geared that way. And even most of what they call their poor are rich in comparison. It is only the ones that could not fit this system, that fell out of the direction of it that suffer from want. Follow the rules and go along with the rape and ruin of whatever it takes to make it go and they have it made for themselves. Talking bad about their country makes them feel good. Good because it changes nothing, just the continuation of their greedy needs. Most actually love their country and are proud of it and themselves. How can a nation be proud with such a recent history of such violence and deceptions that still contaminates so much. What they love is their possessions and their security. Even in their prisons they are taught to be taken care of. Always this dependency that their government creates to keep them trapped. Their lifestyle is extremely out of proportion to what a person can use compared to what our earth has to give. If everyone lived like Americans the world would already be used up. And daily, they just consume and consume, like there is not end to it. They are a nation of fat people worrying about eating to much. Their minds are taken by what they can get or do next when they have not even paid for the last excursions into excess. And these people, the Americans, they feel it is their right and they complain it is not enough. Worshipping their rich and imitating them. Living on credit, like life is a game. These people have had their minds arranged since birth and all the processes after to think of themselves first. The brainwashing trick of narrowing their view down to what they want and who they think they are. They don’t see the world suffering, only in faddish conversation, just to be able to say, see, there I do care and I read the headlines too, I know everything. But they don't really care, they are too dulled by what they have become for that. If they did care the burden of the guilt such a nation should really feel would crush them. If they really cared they could not so consciously overindulge. They would not be proud of their stolen name America, it would represent the oppression and the horror it really is. They would hang their heads in shame, or raise up and revolt and refuse to live the good life at such a price. America is an evil place, and benefits from that rot a persons soul and mind. You can see it in the corruption of their society, of their family. It is a sick country, at the brink of its demise. Yes, it is wrong to benefit from wrong, just watch America, and you will know that to be a truth.

It is always sad to hear how other countries are like America now and more so everyday. Competition, it is an addiction that makes a race out of life.

Mullets, as simplistic as it seems the MP was right: one (and just one) of the reasons why acuisitive crime is higher than it was say 50 years ago is because working class families can afford things they couldn't before. Also consumer goods are much smaller and lighter than they were.

Part of the difference is that have more things worth stealing and those things can be stolen without giving the thief a hernia!

Garth said...

You are probably correct Jams, but the crime is on a bigger scale now. The UK is now paying for the dream that was bought during the 70's & 80's. And the payback is the support for the Cheyney's financial exploits in the Middle East.
The crime is way bigger than residential theft.
It's global.

Agnes said...

"And the payback is the support for the Cheyney's financial exploits in the Middle East." ???????????? I dont' understand this. Isn't this a bit oversimplifying? One can't reduce everything to consumerism.

Garth said...

Can't you?
And what is behind these activities? War on terror?

Agnes said...

There was no war on terror before that. There was consummerism. There was a Cold War before, and tjsoe who lived behind the other side of the courtain perhaps did not fit the pattern because they were not allowed to. But that was the only reason. How can you link Afghnistan (invaded by the USSR) and Iraq to consumerism?

Pogo

jams o donnell said...

Not probably right on that matter, Pisces. I hardly imagine my parents would have seen their increase in living standards as some Faustian pact though.

Garth said...

Like it or not, payback (for a system that allows greed to be a major driving factor) is happening now.
I'm not arguing one system is better than another, I saying that this one has lost its sense of social responsibility.
A point I think Zatikia was making in this post.

Rancho Perros Bravos said...

Points do seem to come and go here on these blogs, Pisces, and yes, that was the point I was making, no sense of right at all.

Agnes said...

Greed is a major factor inb all societies: you are talking about the greed for money/goods. You neglect power: that is as bad.

Agnes said...

Not always.

Agnes said...

I'm sorry, power is not always about money.

littlebitofsonshine said...

Dont be red many think power and money go hand in hand but many also forget to some money is just another way to help more to bad here in the usa we cant take all that war blood money and have people of peace healing and not killing but everyone knows i wish that.Why cant we talk away from the uncaring and give to the needs of others in there games of greed and wars would be fair to use it for good only. but what i know im usa born american!!!!

Agnes said...

Because, who decides, who the uncaring is, Sonshine?

jams o donnell said...

mullets there are many examples of power for the sake of power where money was a secondary consideration if a consideration at all. take Stalin. His prime mover was control not riches. The same could be said of Mao or Pol Pot too

Agnes said...

What do you mean by "circular"? Avarice is not lust or greed for power.

jams o donnell said...

Money was not important to Stalin. True he had rather more privilege than the typical soviet citizen but his lifestyle was pretty spartan - no taking over the Winter Palace for him, no Amber room, no faberge eggs etc

Rancho Perros Bravos said...

There are examples thru history, that show those who had no need for money, just the hunger for power, but in a world like todays power without money would mean little. Like peace is a power, but it does not have the money its opposite does, so it looses its power to do much more than a show. For the most part, and to be usable, they come hand in hand. It did not sound like the exception, but the generalization was being spoken about here

littlebitofsonshine said...

Where to start sense Redwine asked me .WEll as simple as it is to me i don't know laws but to me if you have conflicting interest in something you have power over then it should not be.So to be fair to all would have to know private things and seams when people get to truth thats been hidden many rocks fall like a glass house being shattered .Many people get harmed but once the mess is cleaned up you know better to make glass houses.I'm not ethics taught but do know if someone say a Judge knows the people involved personally he should step down for reasons he cant see clearly because he knows them best not to be in the case as a judge to tainted 1 way or another like being a leader and telling you cousins first we found gold the guys dead go out and buy all the land around there cheep as you can and they do.As soon as the land is bought on paper you announce gold has been found on land and even the land no gold is on its sold to the highest bidder the greed wins.The unfairness has started .So how can you truly go back and fix it all and take away from all you cant.But you can stop the pay wagon from going to the ones who don't need the ones who do in fairness .If someone words 60 hours a week they have a right to have more than someone who works 20 hours a week but does someone who works 10 hours a day deserve more than someone working 8 depends on how well they do there job i think .How much farther you have to travel for them 8 hours a day to 4 10 days a week .And what job if your a organizer i have found out that is the hardest job .Harder than other ones to ME but to someone else it would be a simple thing.Redwine Only way to fairly judge is for someone who knows not really any of them and has a team to fallow the path to the truth and many many organizers given freedom to get what is needs .Laws are made supposably to keep people happy and from harm .But so many laws now I,m not sure if in all fairness it could be done as it should be as i see it but then so much we have let slip into the ok of living and the not knowing world wide how can so many people have someone they can trust to do right by them all????

Agnes said...

Power can be a goal in itself (the will of power is manifest in animals and children too) or simply a means to reach it.
Sonshine, yes, adn ideas keep the world going. That 50 hours of work should be paid better than 20, here I cannot agree: depends on the work, also qualification. That minimum wages is necessary and everybody who works should make a living, and those who can't, should be entitled to help, that is another story, but this world, with all its beauty, has never been a fair place.

Rancho Perros Bravos said...

Sense seems to be abandoned and who knows how hard it would be to attain again. That’s why those in power must obscure the truth, to enable nonesense to appear as something other.

Anonymous said...

Just like your last comment honey..
Pure nonsense.

littlebitofsonshine said...

o i did not mean 50 and a 20 hours should be payed the same a lot have to be factord in but im sure im hard to understand i run things togther and try to keep up with my own thoughts redwine im just trying to say people should be fair to there worth and yes a basic pay should be expected by all.

Rancho Perros Bravos said...

Thank you for your commenting, anonymous, all 9 of them, its nice to know I am being so throughly read and my nonesense so pondered upon.

White Man Retarded said...

You point out things which may or may not be true, depending on your point of view. What do you suggest to fix the 'problem'? If America is so bad, why do the citizens continually send money and aid in the form of food, clothing, medicines, time, etc. to less-fortunate countries? Every one of your posts and the Far-Left Queue talk about how bad America (the U.S.A.) is and unfair to the rest of the world. From reading your posts, it appears there are more personal issues with you than you admit to your readers and possibly yourself. It is easier to blame and denigrate than offer solutions.

Rancho Perros Bravos said...

Hola PH, good questions. I don't think there is an ¨Answer¨ to ¨fix the problem" , as you suggest. To many problems, to many answers. For myself, my part, I live simply, by choice. You ask about Americas gifts to the needy. In order for America to pull off its atrocities it must have a front. Not just for the world, but for its own gullible people to swallow. Give some hand outs one place and destroy another, or do it at the same time and place. It's the method.

My blog is about Evil America, so of course that is what I write about. I do it for people like you who are interested in another view, one not available to them. By the way, Further Left is the name of my other blog, The Far Queue to a very talented writer about all life. But I do like the name Far-Left Queue. I am sure there are personal issues, admitted or not, but that’s not important here or what I am here for. Its not a confessional Diary, just a simple blog on bad America.

All I can do is set an example by my life of how it should be and pass on my truths and views for others to draw their conclusions from. Which you seemed to have done. But don't forget to keep an open mind, there is always more to be learned than what you think you know at the moment.
