The Profits Must Go On

The scenario in the comic above doesn't seem so much funny as simply a sad fact.

The capitalist crisis of 2008, when we started this blog, was bad enough. Fast forward to 2021 and the centre is flying apart in every direction.

Between then and now (1789 posts later), it felt like The-System-To-Which-There-Is-No-Alternative (or "resistance is futile" as the Borg said in Star Trek) was moving in for the final take-over of the planet. 

I could feel something had changed, my spider senses tingled ominously. 

What did it for me is that I could see that the powerful and deluded weren't even trying to hide their lies and propaganda any more. 

Now, they were manifesting their twisted reality shift by speaking it out loud as if it had already happened, thus using a good technique for an evil purpose.

Now they are offering us million dollar lotteries and other goodies to shuffle through cattle gates, tickets to the New-And-Improved-End-Of-The-World Spectacular clutched in our bony fingers.

With great fanfare the big Opening Up is about to be unleashed upon the world no matter what, and it's going to be Great.

They promise - if we give them just one more multi-trillion dollar chance, this time capitalism will get it right. 

In the meantime, don't worry - keep shopping. 

To the end.

Happy Solstice, everyone.
