Dominance Games: Bad and murderous public policy

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 , , , , , , , 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.

Dominance Games: Know no evil

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, economics, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , , , , , on October 12, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

If you can trust the federal government to regulate and bureaucratize and mismanage any problem to death then you can trust private enterprise to squeeze out and throw away anything but profits, put firewalls up against accountability, pay off those who need be paid off and have no one available speak to in order to resolve problems.   Each system is no damned good and bless us we have to put up with them cause they are no damned good save that there are no others…..  no other ways to play and influence and cheat and steal.

All the cherubic hustlers hustling out their own cherubic views of our own cherubic government and our own cherubic commerce, power, culture, thought police, thought control, thought vacancy … imagine innate corruptions in the holy sea of faith, hope and charity…. all innate godliness…. the imagination is in itself a venal sin.

The great hyped thoughtlessly, mindlessly, guilelessly promises kept and miles traveled stem from the lack of  original sin.   A firm, fair, incorruptible system of acts and beliefs; we cherish all who see no evil.

Of agendas, enemies, flaws in hearts of evil doers there is no mountain of belief.  Worshiped positions taken are always exaggerated to comic extremes.

Culture, tap dance, inbred sellers of bright and shiny things.  The tricks of ner’ do well poets of seething tears and heart tugging virtues.  Efficiency, balance, purpose, song….. the shell game and the dance of seven veils.  Little pet peeves and smarmy debates all feel good when the sun rises and helps the tall grass grow.  Good place to hide.

Dominance Games: Don’t worry. Be happy.

Posted in Commentary, current events, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , , , , on October 8, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games  Politics

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.

Dominance Games: Wealth and power

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

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.

Dominance Games: Trust / Broken flocks flayed

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , , , , on October 5, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

Why is it that some trust government and others do not.  Why is it that some trust business and others do not.  Do both sets of innocents wear the same consummate sets of blinders trumpeting the idea of the functioning god father.  All such daydreams outstrip and out trump all reality.

All government, all business, all labor, all wealth … all pillars of grand civilization, go bad and abuse the lovely powers they attain.  This is not a new concept.  It is a hardly revolutionary concept.  All roads to all hells are paved somewhere, somehow with some dreamers damned good intentions.  Pure hearts and gentle people love to work for the public good.  They sell their wares and stories color them worthy.

Trust is a luxury few can afford.  There seems a grand lack of critical thinking afoot in the public arena these days.  We have agendas, wants, dreams, hates, lusts, kill good pap.  Trust is the luxury few can afford and the righteous proponents of grand schemes and holy hells smile at the thought of corruption.  Its our corruption, they say.  It may be deadly and smell bad but its our deadly and our smell.   Corruption inbred is never an issue and all ways to nirvana are scams.  All who trust their own purity are flawed from the start.  all who trust their damned gods are broken flocks and open to be flayed.

Dominance Games: Eat our young

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

Dominance Games / Politics

Afflict the comfortable.  Comfort the afflicted.  An old journalistic maxim with the prisms of today’s general journeys into darkness throws on its ear, into the pits of hell, staunchly making it a target for primitive species every where.

With a  bias towards the mighty and mighty, the powerful and the grasping popular segments of the free society see erstwhile  hedonists, communists, swamp swine and other morally unnecessary heathen in those who would have sympathy for a sentiment so demeaning to achievement, a place in the pecking order, the comforts of their masters.

With a bias against the achieving, ruling classes, those who achieve power n general there are those who see sin, avarice, gluttony always there to behold n to skewer.  There is unearned bounty to covet and use.

The conundrum of selective virtue.

A neat little bias towards order and societal structure holds well for those with paths to horizons acceptable in their minds eye and in their true hearts.  A neat little bias towards order and societal structure holds well with those who hate the poor and disenfranchised.

A comfortable bias  towards society’s afflicted holds well for those who see all afflictions as terminal or deadly diseases offering no reasonable help of cure.  It is not always easy to distinguish.

Able and fat, sustainable and surviving….at what point is a desire to comfort the afflicted thrown out of the equations of public policy, economic policy, public morality, public virtue, public hate?  At what point do we start to eat our young?

Dominace Games: Shadow boxers / Bottom feeders

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

Dominance Games / Politics

Money.  Money.  Money.  Good time spenders.  Bad time spenders.  Secret spenders.  Heavenly spenders.  Sinister, evil manipulative spenders.  Government bought and paid for.  Voters bought and paid for.  Politicos bought and paid for.  Imitations of real life problems bought and paid for.

We have the structures of systems used, mused and abused.  We have office seekers who can’t file papers unless they get patron saints and holy redeemers.  We have to pay for the muscle of clearing out challenges, challengers.  We have to pay for the dirt machines, the sex machines, the glitch and glitter machines, the trips to downward hell machines.  We have to pay for intimidation, fear, loss, reputation smashing, sustenance threatening, safety ensuring angels of the better natures of those who like what they like, break what they break.  We have to pay for hell in a hand basket and we have to smile and like it….we the powerless, products bought and paid for, are products for sale or for the taking.  Rotten smells rotten, bad….it can be questioned.  Intimidation hurts rotten, bad …it can be felt.   Power hungry bastards can be smelled, divined…they smell.  The propaganda campaigns and fast and easy messaging of propaganda campaigns and fast and easy messaging can be seen for what they are, the paths to the roots of our rootless souls …they can be seen if we have the guts.

Get bought when you can get bought.  Smart money finds other ways to corrupt when the current ones are ineffectual.  That spot in between is an flared opening … a sweet spot for those of the redemptive mind.  May it, the sweet spot, ever live in moody shadows skewered by contempt and laziness.  There is no fun without dirty games in play.

Dominance Games: Muck love

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , , , on October 2, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

It has oft been stated that the functioning democracy is the best of all possible political systems not because, in itself, it is so wonderful and magnanimous but, as has been said, it is the worst of systems save all of the others….when it goes bad, as is often the case, the functioning democracy has the potential to harm the least amount of people and prop up comparative whole classes of nascent winners rather than the few killers left to other cherished dysfunctional systems….this, its major recommendation…it makes more thieves, thugs and idiots happy of, in their own volition rather than just becoming happy through being at the wrong end of the barrel of a gun,

In our sterling world of today we test and love these equations, these forms greatly.  We ponder and pander and kneel with pleasure.  We make craven images of the sufficiently lame, sufficiently unthoughtful, sufficiently hate driven, ideologically driven folks that we can muster up out of the grimy muck.  We worship the sprints to the bottom of all of the piles of sufficiently unvirtuous speech and impractical minds.  We revel in the palatable raw pure eviscerating emotions of the frenzied driven sycophants and psychopaths, hustlers and pimps who are able to dream the dreams of base intimidation and exceptional force.  We worship all rancid muscle…the grace of mud wrestling heroes to adorn and adore.

In political and historical genius we function well in the defense of the safety nets of mass delusion and incompetence.
