Biden-Trump Debate: The Empire will not recover
The debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump should give great relief and reassurance to any of America’s global victims who might have worried that the country could reverse its dramatic decline on the world stage. If nothing else was made clear from the debate, one thing is certain: the Empire will not recover.
A few people have asked me to do an analysis of the debate, but, frankly, I don’t see any value in doing a point by point breakdown. Let’s just take it in total as a spectacle of American rot that has reached devastating proportions, the only thing holding the house up at this point is the termites.
On the issue of Gaza, which was almost completely passed over, both Trump and Biden said things that make them eligible for prosecution for war crimes, or which would make Trump eligible if elected and if his policy towards Israel aligns with his statements; and Biden is already eligible anyway, and should be prosecuted as a conspirator to genocide. But, again, the most horrific and criminal situation in the world today, the issue which will absolutely be uppermost in the minds of millions of voters; was barely addressed in the debate; if you had gotten distracted for a moment, you would have missed it. And yet, in that very brief mention of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, both candidates expressed views that, in and of themselves, are reason for the US to be expelled from the United Nations. Biden for sending munitions to a country committing genocide and blacklisted for murdering children, and Trump for saying israel should “finish the job” and for acting as if the establishment of a Palestinian State is debatable and subject to his approval — when it is, in fact, mandated by international law.
Biden said explicitly that their funding for Ukraine is in fact funding for American arms manufacturers, essentially admitting that the war in Ukraine is nothing but a money laundering operation to funnel US tax dollars into the private sector; which, if America was a country of ethics and values, would be scandalous to say out loud. I mean, again, if you go point by point, it would be like watching someone vomit, and identifying what they ate with each stream of nausea.
What should be very, very clear, is that the power structure holds the population in utter contempt, and so much contempt, that they want you to know it. Both Biden and Trump are mascots of power factions, nothing more.
For Biden, he is a mascot of the neocons, the hangers-on of the traditional military industrial complex; which should show you just how decrepit that faction is. They live in a state of wilful nostalgia for the days when American hubris and arrogance could be backed up and could not be confronted or challenged. And they are disintegrating as visibly as Biden is disintegrating. I mean, we watched whole clumps of Joe Biden’s brain melt on live television for 90 minutes.
Trump is a mascot for the newer globalized faction of the private sector elite, which wants America withdrawn from the world, isolated, retracting from the international stage so that they can pursue their anational interests in the Global South. This is the more powerful faction, in my opinion. The interests of these two factions explain any and all differences between Trump’s and Biden’s policies, whatever differences there are. And in either case, as I said, the population has nothing to do with it, the American people have been successfully neutralized.
And it is the tragic reality for Americans that the way their country has behaved for as long as anyone can remember, means that the undeniably bad news for the US — the news that there is only decline and deterioration in their future — is welcomed as blessed, wonderful news to the rest of the planet. People around the world watched that debate with joy at the exquisite demonstration of America’s degradation. And that isn’t because the rest of the world is without sympathy for average Americans. This is a universal truism in the Global South and in the Muslim world; everyone strictly differentiates between the American people and those in power. You can be certain that the 40,000 Gazans you killed, died while believing your people are good people, and hoping that you would finally do something through the great democratic system you can’t stop talking about, to make your government stop killing them. So, yes; everyone sympathizes with your people, but they do not sympathize with your people more than they sympathize with their own people, their own families, their own communities and countries, all of which will be granted some relief by the decline of the United States.
Joe Biden talking about “we have to take care of our elderly” he may as well be talking about childcare when he talks about elderly care, he is already several years older than the average senior citizen in America. The two of them arguing about who golfs better, which is not only completely unrelatable to most Americans, but is ridiculous as a proof of fitness, and even more absurd as some sort of qualification for the presidency. They are two men living in bubbles for a whole country that exists in a bubble. Look how they are deriding and mocking you, to your faces with these candidates you are expected to believe will wield independent power. Biden said he was the youngest person ever elected to office, and now he is the oldest person running for office, and you pretend there’s democracy. Reportedly, the Democrats are losing confidence in Biden, which just shows how delusional they have always been, I mean, I wish I knew what ever gave you confidence in him in the first place, that you could then lose confidence in him. But of course they don’t mean confidence in his competency, because that is irrelevant; they mean confidence in whether or not anyone is going to be willing to vote for a carcass on strings.
But that’s what I mean, they are rubbing your face in how out of touch with reality these so-called leaders are, how cartoonish; because they don’t even respect your disgust enough to fear you. They’ll show you outright that your so-called leaders are pranks the real power structure is playing on you, because they know you won’t do anything about it. They have complete confidence in the fact that they have neutralized you, infantilized your intellect, blurred your cognition, and kept you distracted and diverted and demoralized to the point of societal coma. Now you know what it feels like to be subjugated, to have shells of men installed over you as rulers. Oh yes, the Muslim world and the global south sympathizes with you, because what you did to us we wouldn’t actually wish on our worst enemies, but now it is happening to you.
Either way, be it Biden or Trump, American isolation and withdrawal from the world will happen, and there is going to be the same pattern in the US that the US instigated all over the world: division, ethnic and religious tension, civil strife, poverty, violence, tyranny, severe authoritarian security measures, on and on; all inflicted on you by the Empire of the OCGFC, the patricidal private sector elites you gave birth to.
