Year 1800:FAST FORWARD TO THE 
PRESENT:“It is the heart of U.S. policy to use fascism to preserve capitalism while claiming to save democracy from communism.” — Michael Parenti
“Russia is no threat to Americans and the real threat came from Israel and the powerful Israeli lobby.” — Julian Assange
December 4, 2022 "The advances we made in the early 20th century through union strikes, government regulation, the New Deal, a fair tax code, the courts, an alternative press and mass movements have been reversed. The oligarchs are turning American workers — as they did in the 19th century steel and textile factories — into serfs, kept in check by onerous anti-union laws, militarized police, the world’s largest prison system, an electoral system dominated by corporate money and the most pervasive security and surveillance apparatus in human history." -- Chris Hedges
October 8, 2023"We were warned. The seeds of fascism, like the climate emergency, were apparent decades ago. The leading scholars of fascism told us that unless American society halted its slide to ever greater levels of social inequality and returned democratic power to a betrayed populace, fascism would metastasize and consume the state. The ruling class, blinded by greed, a lust for power and willful ignorance, was as deaf to these warnings as they were to those of climate scientists." -- Chris Hedges -- Fascism comes to America
November 17, 2023"As democracies wither and die, as economic inequality expands, as poverty and desperation mounts, the global ruling class will increasingly do to us - once we become restive and attempt to rebel - what they are doing to the Palestinians." -- Chris Hedges
JULY 12, 2024 "When it has a chance to run like this, infinite war and destruction on a planetary scale are empire’s natural and only instincts. It has no goodness left in it to release when left unchecked." -- Anis Shuvani --
COUNTERPUNCH article From the scientists who "dutifully" perform agonizingly painful, almost always resulting in maiming or death, "experiments" on animals (and people, when they can get away with it) for the "good" of humanity,, to the rampant profit over people and planet
modus operandi, unjustly impoverishing billions of people, condemning them to lives of misery, untreated disease and ignominious death, this morally bankrupt ideology, championed by Charles Darwin, IS THE culturally corrosive CORE CAUSE of the present socially destructive calloused behavior, totally devoid of empathy, presently embraced by TPTB and much of the populace,
This heinous "Apex Predators have a DARWINIAN RESPONSIBILITY to BE as PREDATORILY EVOLVED (SEE: Steal everything that is not nailed down.) as possible" ATHEIST WORLDVIEW is the socially destructive tsunami now engulfing human society. What all the entrenched insiders among the parasitic, predatory (i.e. Social Darwinist) elites and institutions don't dare admit publicly, though they celebrate that privately, is that to protect themselves from consequence, making the rest of us sacrifice everything else is what they-the-Apex-Predators have a DARWINIAN DUTY to DO. After all, 🦍
Homo sapiens is "just the result of random undirected processes", so the more you can
"enlightened 😈 
self interest" DO to get MORE POWER by causing, directly or indirectly, the ☠️ death of human competitors for the species gene pool high ground, "the better".
Let's score America's wealth and power elites, regardless of party or political persuasion:
Integrity: zero.
Austerity: zero.
Restraint: zero.
Humility: zero.
Responsibility: zero.
Accountability: zero.
Sacrifice for the common good: zero.
Thrift: zero.ALL the above scores are
perfectly descriptive of the
Social Darwinist modus operandi/vivendi.
Frugality and
prudence, once accepted by all human cultures as sine qua non, has given way to massive excess by TPTB (and too many of the, brainwashed by the "education system", non-rich populace) and a level of
craziness in culture
ethical humans never imagined they would experience.
A society is doomed whose elites, BECAUSE of their TOTAL embrace of the morally bankrupt SOCIAL DARWINIST IDEOLOGY, are resolved to be arrogantly self-serving, corrupt, unaccountable and
devoid of
any sense of good and evil. It REALLY IS the
Social Darwinism, stupid!
NO reform can have ANY chance of improving our lot until the morally bankrupt Social Darwinist Ideology/Religion of TPTB is COMPLETELY CONDEMNED AND
CRIMINALIZED by we-the-people, PERIOD!
Until we COLLECTIVELY
DO
THAT, things will get WORSE. Greed is not just "BAD"; it's SOCIALLY DESTRUCTIVE!
