Elmer Fudd Nation

By MARK AMES

If I was an oligarch and I wanted to buy my spoiled little shit of a son a toy that would make him laugh and laugh for hours, I'd buy him a middle-class American. Because Americans are funny the way all dupes and chumps are funny. You can trick today's Americans time and again, and they always fall for it. And when you trick them, they stomp around dramatically and make a lot of blustery noise about "the people" who allegedly "aren't going to stand much more of this" because "our founding forefathers bla bla bla" and of course the ol' "you can fool some of the people some of the time, buttcha can't fool bla bla bla..." Basically, if you've seen your Elmer Fudd, then you've seen your American sucker in all of his cartoon comic-foil glory: a sentimental buffoon, a harmless chump whose guns don't fool anyone but himself.

Every day, Americans play the role of Elmer Fudd to the oligarchy's Bugs Bunny--if you look at it from the oligarchy's point of view, at least.

Exhibit A: Multigazllionaire scumbag Angelo Mozilo v. American Suckers.

Tuesday it was reported that Mozilo, the guy who destroyed millions of Americans' lives and now faces fraud charges, is making American taxpayers—his victims—pay for his legal defense. Yup, Bank of America, which only exists thanks to tens of billions of taxpayer dollars, is using YOUR MONEY to defend Angelo Mozilo against YOU, the victim.

dog damn ! did i write this column...

no, not enough dirty words in it for me...

saint glenn is starting to repeat my memes for me...

ha ha ha

wait until he gets to the endgame...

ak ak ak

my three main memes:

- loss of tribe

- profit without honor

- teevee brain

loss of tribe has a myriad of social implications, but essentially, no one HAS their own tribe anymore, except for a scattered, distant family, and a sports team they weakly root for with their superficial tribe substitute...

no one has a place in the tribe; no one has a function the tribe depends on; no one belongs; we're all tribal outcasts, searching for place and meaning in tribe...

profit without honor (not like this prophet without honor) obviously goes to the heart of kapitalist imperialism, and the immoral, inhuman 'values' of greed and gluttony which devalue many humans for the express purpose of enriching a few, and we think that's 'okay'...

teevee brain has infected most of the young and stupids: entertain me, NOW! no... NOW! NOW! MORE! NOW! MINE! NOW! FEED ME ! ! !

passive, all-consuming, superficial, and nutrition-free infotainment which stimulates our pleasure-centers, but still leaves a void we can not fill...

MORE! NOW !!! MORE MORE MORE ! ! !
