👑 No Kings, No Puppets 🎭

“The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion.”
— Noam Chomsky

They marched under one banner—No Kings—across over two thousand U.S. cities. The chants echoed: Democracy, not dynasty. People over billionaires.

And for a moment, it felt like something real. Unity. Purpose. A mass of people moving as one.
That matters.

But here’s the thing: marches don’t dethrone kings—votes do. Not the kind fed to us by billionaire media or corporate-funded parties. But the kind we carve out ourselves, with calloused hands and clear eyes.

Because if the system crowns kings disguised as candidates—red tie or blue tie—then we haven’t abolished royalty. We’ve just rebranded it.

Let’s be clear: this isn’t about shaming the other half of the working class. The ones who didn’t show up. The ones who don’t trust any of it.


They aren’t the enemy. They’re the evidence.


Evidence of a rigged system that leaves most Americans disillusioned, exhausted, and priced out of participation.

“Transparency is for those who carry out public duties… Privacy is for everyone else.”
— Glenn Greenwald

Then here’s the catch: protest is ignition, not the engine. Activism fades. If you’re not moving toward real political power, the system just waits you out.

“A system unable to stop this must be very sick indeed.”
— Matt Taibbi

We’ve seen this before. In Occupy, in anti–Iraq War protests, in the George Floyd uprisings. They all said something important—but without sustained, organized follow-through, the system waited us out.

Protest is the ignition. Organization is the engine.

This moment is only a spark—unless we stop waiting for permission to lead ourselves.
No kings. No puppets. No more billionaires pulling the strings.

Protesting is better than nothing. But it’s not enough. Not anymore. Real change doesn’t come from chants alone. It comes from organized labor, grassroots movements, and political power built outside a two-party system that’s fully captured by billionaires and the military-industrial complex. No kings. No puppets. No excuses. #NoKings #GeneralStrike #BeyondTheBallot #fyp #currentevents #ProtestArt

Wealth #Inequality Means #Democracy is a Farce

A government of the people, by the people, for the people in a world where cash rules everything around me.

We’re getting closer to the traditional national gaslighting of people to vote for the lesser of two evils. Gaslighting and voter shaming being the only options left of a corporate captured media and government.

Keep the facade going, there’s motions to go through. There’s time slots to fill, content to create, and appearances to make.

If people can barely survive after a decade which saw both political parties have control of government at one point or another, what is the point of voting? Unless voting third party. That’s where the gaslighting and voter shaming come into play. I wonder what Jill Stein will be blamed for this election season.

What a better life? GET A JOB! So then what do I need to participate in the farce of the decaying corpse of democracy for? Don’t super delegates pick who runs in the general election anyway? Doesn’t the electoral college mean that only a few swing states decide the presidential election anyway?

If voting was so important why isn’t it a national holiday? Like it is in other countries…

Vote local? Well that’s where I can see one vote having some value. Probably why we never hear about local elections. Hard to make us hate our neighbors over referendums and country treasurer battles.

If the masses are doing worse than they were before, habitually, for generations…what good is government? What is the point of elections?

Political theater, divide and conquer, evoke emotions, distract, tribalism…

How else can the 1% get the 99% to hate each other?

Red hates Blue

Blue hates Red

Elephant hates Donkey

Donkey hates Elephant

Blue Collar hates White Collar

White Collar hates Blue Collar

North hates South

South hates North

Half the country hates the other half

What a shame, what a waste, what a farce…

In America, we don’t have a democracy, we have economic totalitarianism.

One must pay attention, and do just a baseline level of research to find this truth although it becomes more obvious every year. The economic elites find less and less need to hide it. It’s becoming more common to say the quiet part out loud, in the open, on live mics on livestreams.

Keep the masses running the rate race fueled by promises and propaganda. Coerce them to work for a living until they’re burned out, bankrupt, or dead.

Just go along to get along. Gotta make rent, gotta put the groceries on credit. Can’t attend the protest cause I’m out of PTO, can’t take my PTO cause my copay went up again, can’t afford my copay cause groceries got more expensive for the forth year in a row.

What a shame, what a waste, what a farce…

#Duopoly on the ballot in #Murica…again

Awareness is the way out.

Even the most propagandized, corporate captured, patriotic, colonizer friendly American voter has to know something is up, something is amiss to have the same two candidates in back to back presidential elections, with one candidate being the front runner for a third consecutive election.

No one ever went broke under estimating the intelligence of the American people.

America is the most propagandized country on Earth by such a wide margin. North Korea only gets it from the government. In America, our citizenry gets it from the Military Industrial Complex, Big Pharma, Big Oil, Wall Street, and Corporate America literally every time they look at a screen. And screens are everywhere now.

People who are pro Trump and pro Biden…know something is aloof here.

But to think about it, to question it, is the end of bliss. Because ignorance is bliss.

As the late great George Carlin (the original, not the AI remake) would say… “the owners of this country” …and… “it’s a big club, and you ain’t in it”…

The populace is so docile and scared in America that the money in control of the political duopoly that is American politics won’t be bothered to change the wrapper anymore. It’s all Ronald Regan anyway. If they could, they would put him as an AI on the ballot, and that’s probably not far off.

There is an counter force. Vote third party. Vote local. Organize to push ballot initiatives and referendums. Politics is bottom up. All politics is local is the old saying. That’s the long game. The long game is the only option. And the only thing we have less of than patience is attention.

If people are struggling to pay their rent and bills at historic levels, if income inequality is at historic levels, then why would the populace treat the presidential election like anything other than another reality tv show. A reality tv show host is a duopoly front runner for the third election in a row after all.

When the majority of people are completely identified with their ego and thinking mind, then they are reaction junkies. Unaware there is a space between stimulus and response. So they can be trained like animals. They can be taught to react when certain buttons are pushed regardless of repetition. They will salivate no matter how many times the bell rings.

So they’ll fall in line to vote against the lesser or two evils in the most important election in their lifetime for the third decade in a row. Then wonder why nothing changes, why they have more debt, less money, more work, less leisure, more rules, less rights, more fear, less love.

#Politics is Theater for the Oligarchy

I am regularly around people not from America. I enjoy it. I enjoy different perspectives and experiences and perceptions and opinions.

One of my favorite things about regularly being around foreigners is their reactions when they see American political advertising aka campaign commercials. Which is common because election season in America never ends now, since it’s a set it and forget it emotional trigger and decisiveness tool for the unwashed masses.

After they see one or two…dozen…political ads in an hour, they’ll inevitably start asking the people around them what they think of politics, what they think of democracy, what they are thinking about the upcoming election, etc.

If/when they ask me, my answer is a sloppy version of the following; American politics is theater for the capitalist oligarchy and the military industrial complex to give the masses the illusion of choice, control and influence.

If I’m talking to a European, they quickly understand what I’m talking about. If it’s an Australian or South American, there is usually an explanation of what an oligarchy is and that the MIC is and how they are the shadow authoritarian government and have been for a minimum of half a century.

Any doubt or skepticism towards that can be directed towards the 2008 bank bailouts, 2020 TARP bailouts, the volume of assassinations of anti-war organizers in the 1960s, and of course the never ending wars we have never ending money for while homelessness and wealth inequality reach all time highs in the richest country in the history of the planet.

I remember in the 90’s when Jessie Ventura became governor of Minnesota as an independent. When asked why he was an independent he said that the only difference between a democrat and a republican is the speed at which their knees hit the ground when their donors walk into the room.

Those who would say that America is a democracy and isn’t a corporate captured, authoritarian state; would also openly admit how corrupt Washington is. They would call me a conspiracy theorist, and then complain about how nothing ever seems to get done in Washington. Drain the swamp! But we live in a direct democracy. What does duopoly mean anyways?!

As long as we’re blaming the rank and file voters of the opposite party, obsessing over pronouns, or thinking an ex billionaire game show host is to blame for all of our problems, then we certainly won’t have the mental capacity to comprehend the people who control the currency, the land, the bombs and the resources are the ones controlling the government and that the combination of the two controls our lives.

Because then we would have to admit that we aren’t free, we own nothing, we have no rights. And I know from repeated experience, that ignorance…is…bliss.

The Defense #Budget is Morally Offensive

“They got money for war, but can’t feed the poor” Tupac Shakur

Anytime I mention the >$845 billion annual budget for the Military Industrial Complex I am always greeted by either confusion, deflection or anger.

Anger is the one that gives me that kind of self mutilating joy. Such sadness and disappointment at my fellow human that they feel the need to take up verbal defense of an entity that literally has more money than any other entity on Earth…for “defense”

What’s worse than an exploited worker in false class solidarity with billionaires? Military Industrial Complex bootlickers.

It’s not their fault. America is the most propagandized country in the history of the world and it’s not even close. Germany? North Korea? Wake up.

Have you looked at a screen ever? What is advertising? What are commercials? Who owns the news? Who owns the media? And why? Exactly.

It’s in our nature to think we’re the good guys. We’ll already justify our own actions to ourselves regardless of their external effects unless we suffer immediate negative repercussions.

You take that part of our nature and subject us to a literal non stop, inescapable propaganda machine in every home, public space, purse, and pocket and how can the masses in America not have the consciousness be corporate captured?

We know in our hearts poverty shouldn’t exist in the world with so much wealth. But what our eyes see and our ears hear, our mind believes. And those two senses are under a never ending attack of seduction by entities that want us to live like donkeys chasing the carrot to avoid the stick.

And if we’re too buys mentally, verbally, and physically fighting each other or buying things or working ourselves to the bone to avoid poverty, then we certainly can’t unite for the greater good of the 99%.
