Dominance Games: Recoil / Afflict the comfortable

Posted in Commentary, current events, labor, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , , on September 10, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics…. Recoil

Right, left, in between.  The mouthers and the talkers and the true believers should never be surprised that sometime, somewhere, some way, some how when they go and go and call out someone over and over and over again that that someone, something, some body, some wimp just might get up off of the carpet of defensive victimhood and strike back.

Prodded, angled , used, abused for political gain or extinction, deep sleeping force should sometimes be left deep and fat and in hibernation.  Arrogance leads to overestimated strength time and time again.  Demonize folk long enough, attack their beliefs hard enough, denigrate their survival cold enough and crying in your beer doesn’t cut it when they don’t like it any more.

Its not an easy world we live in.  Mouthers have the protections of laws and society until they don’t and until they miscalculate the wonderfulness of themselves.  Tough times make tough enemies and hard assed times make hard assed enemies.  Pendulums always swing.  The mouthers who feel good when they have their season in the sun had better not push the damned pendulum too damned hard.  The recoil can cut off their heads.

Dominance Games / Politics…Afflict the comfortable

Fools and weaklings are of a mind to comfort the afflicted, afflict the comfortable. Communism, socialism, the nanny state, the redistribution of toady-ism, the turning of ones back upon the needs for self justification of the self justified.

The comfortable have no faults, no vices, no needs.  The afflicted have no power, no ways to hurt other than to bleed dry those who are not afflicted, have no way to access the spigot of the worlds money trees.

A difference there is between attacking those with power and those without.  Those with it had best be able to handle that which they dish out.  Those without it had better be able to survive.

Big men and women attack the powerful.   Small men and women attack the afflicted.  The heart goes with those who challenge the gods.  The twisted pleasures of throwing cats off of roofs goes with those who challenge the weak.

Use brains to understand accomplishment.  Use civilization to understand the self righteous bores who cant look at a poor person out of work without affixing upon him the blame.

Oligarchies are for winners.

Dominance Games: No such thing as America

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, economics, jobs, labor, Politics, technology with tags , , , , , , on September 7, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

When overseas markets get to be more enticing to business than our good old domestic market then there will be no more incentive to pay a living wage to a living person if that living person can no longer be counted upon to be a living customer.

The only incentives for business to produce jobs is to get labor at a rate that is affordable….no more in cost than in production.  the equation for business is profit.  Employment is useful only in service to that end.  Employment is not an end unto itself.  Business gravitates towards monopoly of markets.  Business leaders gravitate towards monopoly of production, of resource, of labor, of integrated, reliable means of sustenance.

Labor can be a troglodyte bore, using resentments and revenge to wrest any economic power it can get.  Labor also is the only line of defense against a system that, in reality, cannot and does not factor in employment and wages into its model

In the land of the free it is amazing how quickly good wages, benefits, and pensions have become words of derision, contempt, and fear.  Economic factors mitigate the wants of workers but when did the race to the bottom, the loss of expectations become a desirable model  …… and why is it that those who perceive no personal danger and who always have at least a path to survival are the ones who wish for that low level survival to become something that their neighbor should be thankful to have?

There is no such thing as America.  It is a hollow shell that provides fodder and seed capital to those who can play upon the global stage….They are for the efficiency of their markets, the efficiency of their control.  They factor in their real world insights and toughness and wish to be kings.  Model a middle class?  Don’t be absurd.  Give me useless bums as  serfs and street people any day of the week.

Dominance Games: Plaster saints / Stupid police

Posted in Commentary, current events, Education, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , , , on September 6, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

The plaster saints of self indulgent bores.

Why battle over eduction?  The students are studious.  The teachers are teacherous.  The  reformers are treacherous.  The politicians  are unfathomable.  The talkers hate public anything.

Teaching is an easy rewording job.  It is easy to get new teachers to  last three years.  Millions will be streaming into its ranks so that they get get dumped upon, lose union rights, be at the mercy of political hacks and education Nazis.

Go work for those who hate you, devalue you, take away a your autonomy in the classroom.  Go work for those who know better than you how to do your job, want to make points over and over again with the anti intellectuals who don’t give a damn about learning , education, enlightenment…. who are agenda junkies who never met a whipping boy they didn’t love.

Its the manna from heaven stupid, the rancid power brokers stupid.  Its the movement for feel good reforms stupid.  Its the hate those who know something stupid.  Its the all purpose hate the unions stupid.  Its the hate any thing smacking of liberal arts stupid.  Its the what is science stupid.  Its the control of the curriculum stupid.  Its the control of the curriculum stupid, now and forever.

Its about the children as in how sweet and meaningless an image to sell to those so inclined to get on my bandwagon, stupid.   Entertain them to death, the poor little children….call on them not to be responsible, to never self motivate.

Its about the stupid police, stupid.  Its always about the stupid police.

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: A smack in the face

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , , on September 4, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

A smack in the face.  A slap upside the head.  A full roundhouse with mean results.  A shiv in the gut.  A two by four backside the ribs.  A cinder block to crack the back.  The lullaby of broad swords.

The cries in the night of the broken and humbled.  The whimpers of the weak and scared.  Kill wise, street wise .. street smarts, street justice, street rules.  Sainted politics unbridled, unhinged, unwanted, unapologetic.  Screw civility, decency, respect.  This is America, the land of freedom, of rugged individualism, of hard knocks, of mean enemies.  This is America, land of tough as nails, go damned hard and mean for it, hell or be damned.  This is America, the right place, the right time, the right way to take a buck, break a rival, play the ponies, capture the flag.  This is America…cry and be damned.  Go to mommy and the sob sisters of poor little you.

Walk down the street, get mugged.  Tough.  Walk up the street, get jumped and dragged into the weeds.  Tough.  Stand on the corner and try to find your way…get sideswiped by a truck.  Mean  guys are in the games with the big prizes.  Street wise punks had better get wiser still.  Those who deplore the streets are red meat.

Cry the poor little put upon weak politicians.

Dominance Games: The up yours business

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , , , on September 3, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

All of the geniuses have plans.  They have economic plans.  They have jobs plans.  They have plans to get their brother in  laws a job.

All of the geniuses promise that if a A happens then B happens then C happens  then the stars shine brighter, the sun caresses warmly.

Has there ever been a plan that was anything more than political fodder playing to political wants, hates, prejudice, lust.  Has there ever been a plan that had the slightest chance of seeing the light of day once its useful moment has passed, once reality bit it in the wrong place?

Has there ever been a commission that has been more than window dressing?  Has there ever been sound words that have not been ignored, lame words that have not been taken to heart.

Plans and commissions are in the gloss over business.  The real action is in the up yours business.  Follow the hate.

Dominance Games: It’s the politics stupid

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , , on September 1, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

So, what enthralls us going forward into glorious autumn?

It’s the politics stupid.  It’s the show, the sun, the cheap saloons, the stunts, the runts, the rascals, the clowns.  It’s the villains, the scum, the lords, the masters.

It’s the politics stupid.  It’s the talk, the squawk, the spies, the lies, the sins, the spins, the sprinkles of dew.  It’s the politics stupid.  The rants, the raves, the prancers, the dancers.  The running of the bulls, the choirs of the night, the messengers from god, the songs from mammon, the hateful hates, the favorite sons, the favorite guns, the favorite suns.

It’s the politics stupid.  The steady haze, the frosty glare, the wistful sneer, the true beliefs.  It’s the politics stupid.  The holy rollers, the holy redeemers, the Knights Templars, the rats in a cage.

It’s the selling of the trolls, the souls, the buying of the betrayals of loves, the pandering to fish, the abstinence from thought, the self love of self involvement, of self absorption, self decapitation, self promotion, selves wonderful.

It’s the politics stupid.  The charm, the grace, the criers, the buyers, the deniers, the crowds.  It’s the politics stupid.  The flames, the games, the foibles, the trips.  Its the traps, the plays, the bathos, the pathos, the dirty little limericks, the fretful little brows.

It’s the politics stupid.  The incoherent thoughts of incoherent fools and dead folk out for a stroll.  It’s the politics stupid. The demon’s dance, the mysteries of life, the gifts of light.

Minds working, smoking, seeking, praying, straying, gone.  It’s the politics stupid. It’s the angels dancing, promises lost, hearts broken.

It’s the politics stupid.  The end of the line, the rules of the game, the never ending chance to never seek redemption.

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.
