Dominance Games / Politics
It is very nice to be too big to fail. It is a comforting thing to know that one has achieved a stature and an accession to power that makes ones survival vital to the interests of millions whether or not those millions like or benefit by ones actions.
Its very nice to be too big to fail. Too big to fail and you can dictate terms, dictate agendas, frame policy, run the world. Too big to fail and you have permanent protection from rivals and enemies….you have a stranglehold and a fear factor to use. You have intimidation to muster, favors to hand out. Size may be desirable to stave off encroaching competition but that competition is just a rival for more control over the powers you control. Your size offers self protection, not protection for those over whom you lord power and control of futures.
Monopoly is the end point of unfettered capitalism. Monopoly means the end of forces that can put checks upon those who strive to be great. They win. Their power need serve none but themselves. Why promote the easy paths for those of extreme wealth and power to amass more extreme wealth and power. Power does corrupt……absolute power does tend to corrupt absolutely. Why do we celebrate the openings to such outcomes. Stifling power is not stifling competition or the pursuits of productive capitalists.

What crisis? What financial crises? What jobs crisis? What problems? You think you got problems.. What stinkin’ problems. The headlines are good. The blowhards are good. Sells aspirin, Sells headlines. Sells blowhards. Sells headaches. Sells conflict for dummies. All an illusion. All a chimera, a phantasm, a piece of bread and circuses for the starved leaches.
All political theater. All story all the time. All narrative all the time. Have to have heroes. Have to have villains. Have to have conflict, fight, arrogance, dispute, high drama, low resolve. Have to have spurned virtue, breech of promise, hurt feelings, deranged extremists…anything to keep it rolling, keep it rolling, keep it rolling. No profit peace. No fun reason. No financial backing conflict resolution. Power goes to power, not peace.
Rational people solve problems. They roll up their sleeves and solve problems. They see problems. They don’t like problems. They are incentified to seek solutions, do something possible, constructive. Other than self aggrandizement what are the problems noted in our great ship of state that those who have the power to approach see? Actions proclaim that there are none. Don’t worry. Be happy.
