Dominance Games / Politics

Its the battle over eduction stupid  The students are studious.  The teachers are teacherous.  The sharp in the know of all things feel good and attacking  are treacherous.  The politics  are unfathomable.  The mouthers hate public anything.  The white horse brigade are shy retiring self satisfied smug clowns who hate anyone who works in the field that doesn’t cry out for guidance in knowing how to think and feel their way through the day without being judged horribly by the thought police of proper regurgitation and dumbed down reform.

Learning , education, enlightenment…. never a dream to dream.  Its the teachers, of course, stupid, the performing seals who are there to do the tricks of their masters who can work miracles with students who don’t give a damn or can’t.  Power to the uninformed who need be entertained  into attention span and respect.  What culture of learning and respect for knowledge is that again?  Its the curriculum stupid.  That which is to be mounted by those who know what they know….that that bears weak fruit.  those who know what they know and nothing more.  Nothing more.

Its the power brokers stupid.  Its the movement for dubious reforms stupid.  Its the hate of unions stupid.  Its the devaluation of any thing smacking of liberal arts stupid.  Its the disrespect for science stupid.  Its the control of the curriculum stupid.  Its about as much about the children as being about the children can be when being about the children is being about their non-enlightenment an stultification.  Its about the policy hacks stupid.  Always about the policy hacks.

Do good by sounding sincere.  Its about the sincerity stupid.

Dominance Games: The damned poor

Posted in Commentary, current events, News, opinion, political analysis, Politics with tags , , , , , on September 5, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

It is good to be poor.  Be poor and the whole world beats a path to your door.  The non poor cant but get through a day without fixating on the drag you are on their lives, their taxes, their economy, the pristine glamor of the existence they aspire to and envision.  The non poor with a heart can use you to beat over the heads the heartless clods who know that you steal from them and give back nothing in return but mean stares and intimidating walks.

So much energy fixating on the failure of the poor not to be poor, the failure of the poor not to aspire to a well placed job merely at the poverty level.  And the poor pay no taxes…..they don’t pay their fair share. of their fair wages….they don’t appreciate that those who are not poor are better than they are and have no obligation to help them.   Charity is for those so inclined…not for those who only must take care of their own…..

The social contract… I will be poor and accept it if I think it is a fairly fair distribution of goods and services and if you, you rotten bastards who despise me are strong enough, have force enough for me to accept my lot.   I am poor because I cant find a good, workable way out.  Lazy is as lazy does.  Travel in my shoes you who are better than me .  I am poor because I cant game the system any better.  Give me no options…what the hell do I got.   You charmers …what are my incentives?  Your lot is to  incentify me to believe that your carrots and sticks are the way of the world.  Tomorrow will bring you a better day…if I live that long.  Me, it will bring servitude

Many of the poor go along with such things.  The power of demonetization, and false prophets.

Dominance Games: The rotten entertainment of cystic scum

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, opinion, political analysis, political science, Politics with tags , , , , , , on August 31, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

Drug Cartels funding anti drug campaigns.   Political power players funding laws destabilizing the disenfranchised.   Those able to manipulate smaller governing bodies favoring anti intrusive small government.  Anti government infrastructure movements not wishing money to go to unions.  Avowed anti capitalists wishing controls over the work force.

Shadow boxing is always shadow boxing.  Tactics are always tactics.  Strategy is always strategy.  When logic is insufficient in explaining the lack of common sense based outcomes and policies money and power lead the way.  When practicality of action and result gets swamped in a morass money and power hoe the road.  When suckers get suckered against their own best interests and they are sold the lie, buy the fiction, are put on the market to be bought and sold as the chattel they are, they screech mightily with the joys of groveling pigs.

Big interests have big interests, do things quietly when then can, loudly when they must.  Fools have big interests, get played all the time, believe that the interests of the interested who are ready, willing and able to swat them down.  The poor put upon feel that the interests of their betters coincide with the interest of the suckers who are fed peanuts and given bread and circuses.  Poor drab little lives…. sell what there is of a soul for the rotten entertainment of cystic scum.

Dominance Games: Degenerative politics

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, opinion, political analysis, Politics with tags , , , , , on August 30, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

Degenerative politics and lack of reason based dialogue or policies aimed at a broadening of the base of those with a stake in participatory democracy leads quite naturally and quite rationally to politics based upon the obtaining of  the love of the more and most virulent of peoples,  to going after those few pickings left to be had in ways worthy of necessary survival.

The lesser pies, the lesser options for thought, for belonging, for cultural inclusions, for paths  to worthwhile labor, worthwhile opportunity, education, realistic sustainable markets with money, are all there to be met with deadening dismissiveness by those who wish only their accruals of the powers available.

As it is always in such things use of power for power’s sake is an end unto itself.  The more firmly based on doctrinaire, unquestioning thought a system may become, the more prone it is to be mastered by those whose strategy is the imposition of stringent rules of behavior, stringent rules for thought, more purity of vision, more muscling out of opposition in the name of holy virtue.  The game goes always here to the muscle, the power.  The rewards go to the partisans, the toadies.  The system goes the way of all such systems …to the dogs of war, the dogs of rulers of might, the dogs of unreasoned arbitrary law.

The power to maximize the shrinking collateral-able resources of a bankrupt society is always the aim of the rats who cannot leave a sinking ship.  Strength and intellectual thuggery is always the unthuggish currency, the be all and end all.  The rest is all dressed up as excuse.

Dominance Games: Vaudeville

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, opinion, political analysis, Politics with tags , , , , , , , , on August 24, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

Vaudeville for ever.  Acts in time.

Policy choices, policy discussions, policy circuses, stances, beliefs ……  center stage.   A million barking dogs, grand contortionists, mighty plate spinners, soaring scripts,  headlining little tools …..the honor of the honor,  the flame of the flame.  Prance and sing, overripe shamelessness is a proud papa.  Gives birth to pollutable air.

With hand over heart, with status and acceptance, certainly and forever, the entertainment medium of politics.  The stuff that counts is gamed long before.  Most sturdily, public vaudeville staging pays the bills, gets sold as the stuff of the big show, the stuff matters.  Tis for the melody of the song, the farce of the comedy, the tempest of the flowing beauty of mother love, the dance of seven veils of misdirection. the fine chimeras veils of the great American epic.

Hell bent for leather all romps  endure in lightness and froth, existences imbedded, archaic, innately sparkling….  thrills of the stage, agonies of tired acts, horrors of the hook from the side…. the thrills of the moments when the act hits and self definition derives for ever.  Self aggrandizement is a wonderful prize.

Fine lines and deficient hoaxes come and go but the fine wines of salutary public approbations live forever.  Oh, the thrill of the applause.  The stone of a heart.

Dominance Games: The long knives

Posted in Commentary, current events, gerrymandering, journalism, media, News, opinion, partisanship, political analysis, political satire, political science, Politics, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on July 12, 2011 by B Schiff

We can best be protected from extreme evil in the political sphere by spreading around power as much as possible.  The philosopher king or the wise council of elders may be, in their pure forms, the most admirable and efficient forms of governance.  They may bring the best of virtue, vision, majesty, bearing and trust.  These forms may be the abject model of all seekers of wisdom and truth, all seekers of greater, better existence for greater, better political entities, systems, states, facts.  Wisdom and virtue flow undiluted, unfragmented from implementer.  Implementation is a dream..

Virtues  in these epochs of rule are great but as it is with all such things the templates always seem to have equal and opposite flip sides.  The greater good is matched by the greater evil and in real terms governance is best served when as a staunch representative of protection from harm.  The positive is as a bonus…an unexpected bonus of maturity and purpose, reflection and wisdom…that which when it comes… survives…leaves hope.

This is as close to safety we can come to in a world dependent upon the rational and irrational hates and passions of the bubbling classes.  Passion has its virtues…and its price.

In these aspects and respects…we crave our loved version of mass influence…our republic…our democracy.  All done well, good may prosper, right may flourish, balance may be achieved.  All done not so well…most of the mob survives the long knives, the hounds, the wolves, the cuts and the destruction.

Politics is kick ass and dangerous, armed and dangerous, dangerous and dangerous.  Grateful we are for what we see as the limits to the mass dangers we face, in the forms of the base outcomes we can endure.  We bless the phlegmatic, the powerless, the resigned and the the facts of livable survival.  Seeking the better and the good is always the fools errand of the naive known to the knowing and the wise.

Dominance Games: Good little abuser of the minds of men

As a good little arbitrator of the useful abuse of the minds of men,  as a good little speaker of wisdom and truth on the national stage are you a fine and dandy little advocate for the mind numbing densities of thrill seeking undulating, rapacious, leer loving, visceral thought?

As a good little arbitrator of the useful abuse of the minds of men,  heathen caressing bravado, simulating insouciant stature, hubris without bare naked warning, bearing without down seeking insight, degenerate pablum without the skills to identify food … As a good little arbitrator of the useful abuse of the minds of men are the lover?

As a good little arbitrator of the useful abuse of the minds of men, as a good little transparent mocking bird of  scavenging and bottom feeding …do you  lay claim to the ideas that you are not a rats thrilling dream sucked into a slimy worm hole of grime by an appetite for cheap tawdry thrills provided you by any cheep tawdry fondlers who can play your tune or work your predilections?

As a good little arbitrator of the useful abuse of the minds of men are you the demon demon sublimely enraptured with the prospect of the eviscerate splendor that comes from begging, pleading,wheedling, sighing, yelping, barking,  moaning, panting at the thought of being the open empty void of an open empty cypher that can be filled with screams, insatiable want, tears?

Are you as a good little arbitrator of the useful abuse of the minds of men adept at begging to be used by failed beggars who could not perform well enough to garner the rewards of the heightened and sexual satisfaction that comes with the sell out of the soul.

Are you as a good little arbitrator of the useful abuse of the minds of men a scrap heap of ill will?  Is opening your mouth to speak the act by which you can redeem all of the lost lusts of begging, longing, hot and humid silent, lonely midnights past?

Are you as a good little arbitrator of the useful abuse of the minds of men a lame little caricature of rancid whose only stabilizing thrills are those of smug hyperventilation?

Dominance Games: Good little delineator of cultural fact

As a hero god before us.

As a true little delineator of cultural, scientific and historical fact are you glad to let the world know of lies, damn lies, statistics, half truths, ill found premise, incomprehensible conclusions?

As a true little delineator of cultural, scientific and historical fact are you sure that you are the true one, the one and only one and only, who truly knows their own chimeras images, their own natural habitat, their own generally accepted incendiary real and observable blasphemous worlds.

As a true little delineator of cultural, scientific and historical fact are you sure  that you  get the gist of these terms as you see them, are you sure that you roam freely as a mutant creatures in backwater rubbish factories masquerading as toxic waste?  Are you sure that you are from  places that produce  pink and floaty flotsam and factoids and that the blue and mundane jetsam, trash and reasoning from the school of “because I said so” languishes so nicely on your lips?

The  slush heaps of dead pools and and dried brain cells of life are not your only true mantra and they thank you for it.

As a true little delineator  of cultural, scientific and historical fact are you quite sure that you can see past the void, the divine propaganda proliferated by fallow ingrates who have agendas of scholarship?  The radical politics of scientific method is opposed to the shining facts of those of pure heart and tender mercies.  Education produces those of false opinion and learning can only be achieved by the indoctrination of a bias towards evil.

As a true little delineator of cultural, scientific and historical fact are you  the withering questioner of those who know nothing and embrace the depths of rot?

As a good and true little political actor in these United States are you sure that you have the stature worthy of an even a mediocre character by an even mediocre writer of even mediocre political fiction?

As a good and true little political actor in these United States do you have even the stature of an even mediocre farce of an even mediocre play of an even mediocre burn in an even mediocre hell?

As a good and true little political actor in these United States would you even be imbued by same to be a character deemed worthy of some sort of an even mediocre imitation of mediocre respect?

As a good and true little political actor in these United States are you in your mediocre way standing in the shadow of the grand boots of any of the strong and noble, mature and thoughtful well remembered giants of American political life?  Overwhelming and beyond the pale, that you would have knowledge of such things. … All a bit out of touch with the hollow of your heart?

As a political actor in these United States do you ever feel that you are extremely worthy of being a middle school dropout but much out of your league when it comes to being able to handle the intricacies of the high school prom committee?

As a good and true little political actor in these United Statesare you sure that stature is a word in your dictionary and are you sure that dictionary is a word in your dictionary?

As a good and true little political actor in these United States are you worthy of being looked up to from a position of down or is down too far above your head?

As a good and true little political actor in these United States are you the untouched witches brew of dignity, purity, slovenliness, gluttony, avarice, meanness and void as in cypher?  Are you lovely?

Are you a good little political operative who is happy with the structural flaws in our political system that makes it your job to revel in and celebrate all of the ways the system and its people can be gamed, used, laughed at?

Are you a good little political operative who is that true cynical wonder who will exploit ignorance where he finds it, exploit foolishness where it can be nourished, exploit dimness and self delusion as it it dances around its merry way?

Are you a good little political operative who is wise to the ways of the mechanics of system and and the pressure points and disingenuous levers of power so that you can work wonders with the right amounts of willingness to debase.

Are you a good little political operative who is proud to mock those open to mocking, those being  schoolyard dumb and open to such things? Does rational discourse threaten your soul, your fun, the level of ability of your candidate?

Are you a good little political operative who cares for the honor in your profession and the true stature of your candidate?  the nature of your candidate?  Are you a political operative who with honor true character unimpeachable and of the type and stripe that is immune to personal corruption?

Are you a good little political operative who knows that a knife fight goes to the mean crazy eyed bastard, goes to the junk yard dog?

Are you a good little political operative who knows that protection in a knife fight goes to certain preparedness…. and that once you got the tools to maim…maim……

The good little folk all over wouldn’t have it any other way.
