Re: Failing Lehman to elect Barack Obama

With respect to fascism, I think you are wrong about the American dream. The people want to be part of something greater than themselves and to emulate the superior presented to them by our various propaganda apparatuses.

Americans, now more than ever, are ripe to be mobilized. They are truly hopeless, and most realize their lives are pointless. Simply look at how easily the masses are led in this country towards mindless consumerism, how our children so easily emulate the depravity of Hollywood culture, and how our elders - after finally giving up - engage in the most gluttonous self destruction henceforth unknown since Roman times.

The American Dream was nothing more than a consumerist nightmare foisted on the "Greatest Generation" thrown into turmoil by the depression and World War II. The gleefully indoctrinated their Boomer children with these vile morals, most of whom promptly went insane - and now we are stuck with the result.

Much of the antisocial behavior of Americans is best explained by the nihilism of our age. Particularly the youth, I am quite certain that if you give them the chance to strive for immortality and risk their lives to create a new society, they will gladly take that choice over "The American Dream".

The elderly certainly fear the end of the great Ponzi Scheme - but the youth? The men who are young enough to still possess sufficient stamina and bloodlust? I'm sure they would love nothing more for the end to come sooner rather than later, at least they will finally get some excitement in their lives.

Do you know my Shrink by Chance? :p

But I think you hit the split in the social mood SPOT ON!:eek:
