Dominance Games / Politics: The better the sizzle the tougher the steak

Dominance Games / Politics

It sells, the belief that anyone unhappy with disparity of power and / or wealth is a communist loony.

It sells that anyone who does not feel that unleashed private enterprise will have any other agenda than to shape policies and profits for their own best interests as they streamline business and push those at their mercy to the bottom.

It sells this divine trust in those with power and this divine trust that those with power are the only living souls of virtue in a world of drones, incompetents, freeloaders and leftist culture thieves.

It sells that markets are not rigged and that the nation is an economic system unto itself and that non national options are not part of any economic equation.

It sells that we are the economic masters of our own fate and that no private economic concerns have little to fear from or heed to the nation state that is us.

All of this sells.

The dream of rugged individualism sells as if we were in a wilderness of hidden plenty just waiting for the strength to work and sweat to fetch it.

It sells that this is what we are, true self reliant pioneers unfettered by traps set up tp make us dependent, broke, broken, useless and in our place. All of this sells because the sizzle always sells and the better the sizzle the tougher the steak.

Poor poor American public. Talking, speaking, listening, dialoguing, trying so hard to find a satisfactory common ground upon which all can rest weary heads.

Dominance Games / Politics: Show biz is show biz. Dumb stays dumb.

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, News, opinion, Politics with tags analysis, Democracy, Government, journalism, media, political satire, power, Public interest, satire on October 20, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games:

Show biz is show biz. Dumb stays dumb.

In the absence of any real chance to have real people do real things to effect solid policy we get always true stock players and actors for comic relief leading the eternal ratings bonanza of the many loves of the desperate dance prancers of the mawkish melodies of karaoke….. always public spectacle, circus, show, campaign, talk. Politics as the soft breezes that caresses the day.

Were there a real demand for virtuous speech and honest policy a demand that had some strength and force and a magnitude of pressure then the product given might be something different and become then the boring earnest gab fest done by those who are policy wonks and technocrats and goal oriented softies.

The grand free marketplace of political discourse has responded over and over again to the demands put upon it to keep using the bells and whistles and keep sending out the B actors and commercial product/placement players that fill the void of off time programming and sullied lives that is the solid entertainment of political farce.

We demand in our political markets certain drama, certain heroes, certain villains, certain forms of shadow dance. We accept the game as it is and wallow it its debauchery. The efficient market then gives us sun and fun and sweet nothings made up of feckless promise and grand sham. There is no there there. Our political games are show games and they are nice posteriors and sweet projections. Central casting gives us plot, words, story, character….all is the process, the marketing. All good entertainment has / lets the show become the reality. The demand is for mindless entertainment, quick thrills, blood curling tempests. The showmen have long experience and vast knowledge. Show biz is show biz. Dumb stays dumb.

Dominance Games / Politics: Choke holds / Grand illusions

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, News, opinion, political science, Politics with tags analysis, Democracy, economics, Government, political commentary, political satire, power, Public interest, satire on October 19, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games:

There is no jobs crises as we’ve been informed that were the unemployed amongst us real worthwhile human beings then they would be working at the myriad of jobs that could be of their choosing.

We’ve been informed that there are plenty of alternatives for people who are forced from their homes, as well. By selfishly wishing to stay put and to demand that where possible they retain a roof over their heads they are just impeding the noble march of the free market unchained.

And just imagine…We’ve been informed that we are a nation in danger of being polluted by inferior folk, in danger of having the mongrel views of inferior folk infect our political process……they must be stopped and the must have their voting franchises taken away.

And workers who wish workers rights, we’ve been informed, are no more than thieves who wish to snuff out the lights of innovation, entrepreneurship, capitalism, growth by taking more for their labors than what is wished to be offered, more for their labors than a fixed market might deem appropriate.

What is the purpose of a political system, apolitical entity, a political process if those who gain their sweet little choke holds and rise to the top cannot exercise their duly earned power and dictate the terms that make them proud.

Dominance Games / Politics: Non heathen governance

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, News, opinion, Politics with tags analysis, Commentary, Democracy, Government, political satire, politics noir, power, Public interest, satire on October 18, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games:

Some grow to accomplish great things and in their awe and satisfaction with their own achievements wish to join the ranks of the governing classes. These are all by far public spirited poachers who feel that doing right is doing good and that doing good is doing better. Power and position are simply mere trappings of a calling that enables the true and honorable among us to show their wares and shine in the spotlights of public service.

Many come and go but those who come well prepared and well propped, well fed, well connected, and well heeled understand the nature of the arena to which they aspire. They will be singled out and praised, sought after and looked at…they will become the apple in the eye of those whom they may serve.

it is for the public good that these brave souls toil. It is for the good and welfare of their communities, their regions, their states, their country that they work. The future is something that they can shape, They can help secure it for their own and their charges. It is good to be able to shape the future, It is good to be able to shape the present. It is good to be able to shape debate, shape policy, shape paths towards freedom and righteousness and clean laundry. Governance is for the strong, the secure, the wise, the secure, the able. All of our aspirants are able.

All of our aspirants are there to learn, to judge, to listen, to know. We ache for the fine men and women of public virtue.

Governance is good. It is noble. It is hard work and sure trouble. It is a the high calling.

It, then, is to our great joy and happiness that we get aspirants who strive to do public work and not aspirant who strive to do public sin. Seeking power is what the good guys do when they know that they are always right. Seeking power is what the good guys do when they know the wind is at their backs and that the wind blows them towards shores of riches and rewards. Seeking power is what politics is all about. Doing something with power is what those capable of seeing past their tortured little souls are never quite able to get right. This take a quiet desire to understand what exactly governance is supposed to achieve. This takes knowing that governance is all about being king and having the ability to lop off heads at whim and will. We love our little aspirants. They are so basic.

Dominance Games: The frat boys of Pa and Wi

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, News, opinion, Politics with tags analysis, Democracy, Gerrymandering, Government, partisanship, political analysis, political satire, power, Public interest, satire on October 17, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games:

Oh no…… we just want fairness in our state’s representation……. Pa. and Wisc. republican denizens of democracy and practical politics wish to reform electoral vote tabulations so that it will not be winner take all but imbalanced districts skewing and gaming the results so that the prospect of a democrat win is not something that would have any meaning…..

Angels, neither party. Incorruptible, neither party. Childish….. well we get political correctness in the extreme hurtling down from the smug and self righteous of the democrat persuasion. Cringing is often in order. For sheer spectacle and images rampant and pristine for all who missed high school and college fraternity politics we have legislators of the republican persuasion scheming and wheedling away to glory and immaturity. This … behavior to stake gravitas upon. It is ever thus…give a child a weapon and the weapon gets abused. And you thought governing was about governing.

Let the talkers and the whiners, the apologists and the propagandists, the paid flacks and the paid intimidators color this stuff any way they wish. Immaturity is king when immaturity is what sells. Be base and self absorbed and full of adolescent hate and we get the stupid shows of stupid shows. Never gonna change.

Dominance Games: Voting rights / Voting privileges / Voting scams

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, News, opinion, Politics with tags analysis, Democracy, Government, political analysis, political satire, power, Public interest, satire on October 16, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

To be a fair child of democracy and true believer in the ways and means of a respect for good and true voters everywhere……

May I get, in these times of patriotic fervor, my state legislature to pretty pretty please deny voting privileges to any and all who are congenital drones, insidious lechers, progenitors of trashing and gaming already trashed and gamed systems?

Can I get my state legislature to deny voting privileges to any and all who are deranged sycophants and flag demeaning power hungry cretins?

Can I get my state legislature to deny voting privileges to any and all who are flat and fat and sure and hateful and serene and mean….those who are eternal adolescents and slick imitations of weaselly frat boys…..those who are eternally in the seventh heaven of the seven circles of hell in the seventh grade and those who reap the wild whirlwinds of this epochs eternal dimness, cowardliness, irresponsibility on parade?

Can I get my state legislature to deny voting privileges to any and all who are useless innate drones with little understanding whatsoever of the wry human spirit or of any reading material above the levels of inflexible unctuous wordplay?

We all love preachers of tolerable kills and the breaking of the minority?

If we must have voters…let them jump through hoops and vote on nothing of value

Dominance Games: Bad and murderous public policy

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, News, opinion, political science, Politics with tags analysis, Democracy, economics, Government, political analysis, political satire, power, Public interest, satire on October 14, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games /Politics

So there once was a labor movement that was able to push back against unchecked capitalism. So there were once trust busters, those crying for fairness and equality. There were always those wishing to push back against abuse……personal, systemic, hellacious, unrequited. Action, reaction, synthetic settling of corruptible balances of menace, power, glamor, deviation. The little boys and girls would wish to get just enough to let the big boys and girls play their games and break their enemies.

Owned souls and orgasmic greed are not too damned pretty but they make the world go round. Self wonder, self aggrandizement, power seeking is the way of the world. Greedy, rotten bastards and economic sultans fill the annals of history, society, propriety, song and story. So damned shocking to see human nature on parade.

Legislate goodness and mercy, civic responsibility and chaste souls. Legislate smarts, critical thought, roses and propaganda. Send away those who gleefully reinforce lovely visceral hates.

Systems get broke. Systems get gamed and shamed. They get bought and sold, worshiped and raped. They get taken, get protected, get mean. Vulnerabilities in systems get exploited, get wrapped up in pretty little bows and get given as gifts to happy little peddlers. Too damned big to fail means I got you by the ….. Too damned strong to compromise means I win, you lose, get taken, go drown. Too damned intimidating to be spoken to means blood gets shed and lives get ruined. Pity no balance of interests, of powers, of regress, of exploitation. Mean means being at the mercy of those without mercy.

Broken systems need be fixed. End game are not winner take all. Suckers are suckers unless they understand the way things work. Push is always is answered by push back unless the pushers get smart enough to kill push back and remove those who would do so…push back. We call that bad and murderous public policy. Otherwise we have the show and the prospect of someone able to rig the game against the killers, the maimers, the viscous, the sinister. Don’t hold your breath.

Dominance Games: True saviors

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, opinion, political science, Politics with tags analysis, Democracy, Government, partisanship, political satire, power, Public interest, satire on October 13, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

My anger is angrier than your anger. My hurts are more hurting than your hurts. My pain is more painful than your pain…… A grand race to martyrdom swinging and slinging along is now our daily bread. concentrate upon real frustrations and real inequities, real imbalances of real power, real dangers to the survival of real people and real lives if you will but you then are a dumb lummox who just doesn’t get the uses of protest.

Someone special has to take ownership of the greater pain, the truer pain, the more real frustration, the more honest delineation of vile offenders of human kind. Someone special has to take ownership of brand, be the true blue and only real brand, sell the true and only all in one miracle elixir and remedy for all that ails.

How these things stay real…. no more players seeking power for power’s sake, tears for tears sake. All little protest movements are ripe for the pickings, ripe for the co-opting, ripe for the using and abusing.

Those in pain choose to respect the pain of others. Its the pain that matters, not the game. Never are there calculating bastards ready to wring out the doctrine of true social ills and homey misery. What other good does protest offer? Give wily bastards a nice little tool to use to skin more suckers. Bless the beasts and the children.

Tea bags, wall banging…lets see who has a heart.
