WIBCI our leaders messages had SUBSTANCE?
Wouldn’t It Be Cool If we were governed by those who evolved towards a better future for us?
the phrase M/A/G/A is today’s version of ‘Four legs good, two legs better.” (This is from Animal Farm by George Orwell, a three hour audio book that IS worth usurping one evening’s worth of scrolling, trolling, or gaming, in my opinion)
The phrase M/A/G/A is sheer rubbish propaganda. How can you have such a vague, subjective slogan that sheep willingly advertise on their person, lawn, and/or pickup truck, without some clarification? Does the populace just love an acronym so much that they continually turn a blind eye to injustice and ambiguity, or are they avoiding the mortal humiliation of being wrong?!?
When was this ‘great’ time in America anyways? Whom exactly was it ‘great’ for? Cause if it’s white, rich, old, men; when exactly were their liberties trampled upon? When were they disadvantaged? When did they not receive the lion’s share of everything?
To me M/A/G/A means Middle-Class Americans Give All while the white, rich, old, men, gladly take it and innact laws to keep it that way. And Americans wear the hat while the 1% laugh all the way to their retirement compounds.
Call me naive but I want my leaders to be heroes, not inarticulate, aggrandizing, narcissistic, tyrants, who are ‘good at business’.
In Joseph Campbell’s The Hero with a Thousand Faces he discusses both the tyrant and the hero:
The inflated ego of the tyrant is a curse to himself and his world. No matter how his affairs may seem to prosper, self terrorized, fear haunted, alert at every hand to meet and battle back the anticipated aggressions of his environment, which are primarily the reflection of the uncontrollable impulses to acquisition within himself. The giant of self achieved independence is the world’s messenger of disaster. Even though in his mind he may entertain himself that with humane intentions. Wherever he sets his hand there is a cry, if not from the housetops then, more miserably, within every heart. A cry for the redeeming hero. The carrier of the shining blade whose blow, whose touch, whose existence, will liberate the land….
The hero is the man of self achieved submission. But submission to what? That precisely is the riddle that today we have to ask ourselves, and that it is everywhere the primary virtue and historic deed of the hero to have solved. As professor Arnold J. Toynbee indicates in his six volume study of the laws of the rise and disintegration of civilizations: schism in the soul, schism in the body social will not be resolved by any scheme of return to the good ole days, archaism, or by the programs guaranteed to render an ideal projected future… or even by the most realistic hard-headed work to weld together again the deteriorated elements. Only birth can concur death. The birth, not of the old thing again, but of something new, within the soul, within the body social there must be, if we are to experience long survival…..
Tyrant or Hero?
