Pour les lecteur d’anglais, un article décrit la réalité américaine, celle qui nous attend si nous ne faisons simplement rien. Pour voir le pire se mettre en place il suffit de rester devant sa télé et d’espérer que tout ira mieux.
Dying civilizations often prefer hope, even absurd hope, to truth. It
makes life easier to bear. It lets them turn away from the hard choices
ahead to bask in a comforting certitude that God or science or the
market will be their salvation. This is why these apologists for
globalism continue to find a following. And their systems of propaganda
have built a vast, global Potemkin village to entertain us. The tens of
millions of impoverished Americans, whose lives and struggles rarely
make it onto television, are invisible. So are most of the world’s
billions of poor, crowded into fetid slums. We do not see those who die
from drinking contaminated water or being unable to afford medical care.
We do not see those being foreclosed from their homes. We do not see
the children who go to bed hungry. We busy ourselves with the absurd.
The game is over. We lost. The corporate state will continue its
inexorable advance until two-thirds of the nation and the planet is
locked into a desperate, permanent underclass. Most of us will struggle
to make a living while the Blankfeins and our political elites wallow in
the decadence and greed of the Forbidden City and Versailles. These
elites do not have a vision. They know only one word : more. They will
continue to exploit the nation, the global economy and the ecosystem.
And they will use their money to hide in gated compounds when it all
implodes
