NB: If anything signifies the total takeover of democracy by capitalist robber barons and corporate (including communist) totalitarianism, it is the refusal to take necessary measures to halt global warming. A new internationalist, movement is required to save a sustainable ecological balance on earth. Labels such as Left/Right/Liberal etc., have no meaning any more.
The ongoing culture wars about patriotism and who was great and who betrayed the country etc., etc., are mere clouds of poison gas by emitted by shameless morons out for money and power. Listen to this humorous and yet deadly serious talk. As one viewer comments, we’re living in an age where we look to comedians for our leadership and to leaders for our comedy. And another: Saying we shouldn’t reduce fossil fuel consumption because workers will lose their jobs is like saying we shouldn’t stop having wars so soldiers will lose their jobs. (PS: My advice to the post-structuralists: deconstruct this if you can). DS
