All of my grandparents were Irish immigrants. They all died before I was born, so I never knew any of them, but my parents would tell me stories about them. My father and his siblings would talk sometimes about their Aunt Jane, who was their mother’s younger sister. She worked as a maid for a wealthy family in the years before she got married.
According to my father, Aunt Jane had a wicked sense of humor, and she would have the kids rolling around on the floor as she told them stories of how dumb the people she worked for were. “They aren’t smarter than we are,” she would tell my father and his siblings, over and over and over again. That was Aunt Jane’s mantra: “They aren’t smarter than we are.”
As I write this, another saying comes to mind, “If you are so smart, then why aren’t you rich?” The assumption underlying that saying is that most rich people come by their money honestly, which may or may not be true, depending on how you define the word “rich.” My family has been in America for a little over 100 years, and we have come a long way, financially, from where we started. I don’t have exact figures but judging from their job titles and the homes they live in, most of my relatives earn very healthy six figure incomes, and they come by it honestly. It wasn’t exactly a pull yourself up by your bootstraps thing: each generation gained some ground financially and passed the benefits on to the younger ones. For instance, most of us had our college paid for by our parents. That is a huge advantage. Many people would consider my relatives rich, and perhaps they are.
My point is, most “upper class” people got to where they are through generations of work and sacrifice and blood, sweat and tears, and most of them are probably at least fairly smart. This post is not directed at the dentist who has made a great living for himself, or the plumber whose business brings him an income of 300.000 a year. My words are not directed at most rich people.
We all know that those whom we refer to as The Ruling Class are not dentists or plumbers or engineers, or anything like that. They aren’t surgeons or airline pilots. Nobody is sure what they are, but we have been told all our lives that the people in charge are much smarter than we are, even though most of them don’t seem to have any marketable skills.
Until recently, the ruling class lived in my mind as faceless, nameless shadows. I assumed, naturally, that whoever they were, they must be very smart people, otherwise, how could they have so much power? I mean, I actually thought Donald Trump was smart. I actually believed him when he called himself a genius-because, he was rich, and yes, I knew that he was born rich, but he built on that foundation and became even wealthier, because he was smart and he worked hard. Or so we were told, and so I believed, and so did tens of millions of people believe.
It all seems so long ago now, but those of us who voted for Trump did so because we believed that the ruling class was comprised of very smart rich people who were also evil, and we were going to send in Trump, who was a very smart rich person who was good, or at least fairly normal, and he was going to drain the swamp. LOL. How could we have actually believed that?
People believe what they want to believe. Millions upon millions of Americans wanted desperately to believe that there might be at least one or two super wealthy people who were not totally corrupt. Americans wanted to believe that, because Americans are fundamentally decent people who don’t want a class war. We are not prone to jealousy. We don’t hate rich people just because they are rich. Americans have actually bent over sideways and backwards, and put up with no end of bullshit, hoping, praying, that somehow, we can avoid the French Revolution, part 2. Trump was our last chance to do that. Trump was the last chance the super wealthy had to redeem themselves. Trump was their last chance to turn things around. His administration is a joke and a deadly clown show, orchestrated and paid for by super rich donors.
Members of the ruling class don’t understand how much they are hated, or maybe they just don’t care. After all, the French Revolution was almost 300 years ago. Nowadays, with money and technology a few rich oligarchs might actually have a chance even if 99% of humanity despises them. They could potentially use chemical or biological warfare that could potentially render 99% of humanity defenseless, and that’s assuming that members of the ruling class even care whether they themselves live or die. If they are cornered, they might decide that if they have to go down, they will take the rest of us with them, and they can totally do that, because it’s their finger on the nuclear button, now ours.
It has become brutally clear in recent months that at best, Washington D.C. is nothing more than gay men prancing around calling themselves alpha males and dropping bombs on defenseless children-at best. In reality, many if not most of them are pedophiles as well. It seems that you almost have to a pedophile to get into that club, and that goes for women too. Most of the women in D.C. are basically Ghislaine Maxwell. We knew it was bad, but it’s so much worse than we ever realized. It’s so much worse than we ever could have imagined. Here I was, all these years, actually believing that we lived in a meritocracy. LOL.
I want to say, power to the people. I want to remind myself and everyone else that normal, halfway decent people far outnumber the weirdos who rule over us, and that’s true, but does it matter? In America, decent people are very well armed, but what good will our guns be against biological warfare, or nukes? Those who rule over us are not nearly as smart as they think they are, but they are totally depraved. They got to where they are because there is nothing they won’t do for power, and it’s their finger on the nuclear button, not ours.
Maybe they think that because of this, everyone will bow to them? Maybe they assume that all human beings are just as craven as they are. Do the gay men who run D.C. and their female pimps and beards really think that most people will bow down before them? For any reason? I would rather die, and I am certain that large numbers of people feel as I do, but maybe that’s all part of the plan? What with artificial wombs and cloning, in the very near future, women won’t really be necessary anymore, anyway, and straight men won’t necessarily be necessary either. The faggots who control our nuclear weapons could wipe all of us out and just create new humans through the miracle of science, if they even cared to do that.
I don’t have children, so it’s very easy for me to say that we would all be better off dead then living under the rule of these people. My mother’s older sister told me that my grandfather once looked her straight in the eye and told her that he would rather see her dead than see her stay married to an abusive man. That is how I am feeling right now when I think of the children I love, and all children. I would rather die than bend the knee to the murderous homosexuals who rule the world, and I would advise any young person I care about to do the same.
We cannot go on living this way. We may not be able to defeat the ruling class, but it’s much better to die on your feet than it is to live on your knees.
