This is not class warfare. This is middle class extermination. Whether Obama is merely a tool of the uber class or is just stymied by the machinery that the uber class has steadily erected over the past 30 years to preempt the American Dream for the vast majority - regardless of which reality, the eventual outcome will be the same - extermination. Only one hope...
Calling or writing your Congressional critter isn't going to stop it. Replacing Repugs or Blue Dogs with more Progressives, even if possible, will likely take longer than the extermination. Whining about the cruel world on Internet forums and chat rooms might make you feel less alone, but it isn’t going to stop the onslaught. Even going to protest rallies with 10s of thousands of like-minded folks won’t cause a dent in the machinery now posed to finish the job of the last 30 years.
Middle class extinction is now here and it's real.
No, the only thing that has a chance to stop it, is something that will scare the living crap out of the uber elites and their political minions - give them serious pause, if not back them up.
And THAT is a day of massive work stoppage and massive boycotts of ANY purchases of goods and services.
A day where we stop any and all of our market participation - no milk and eggs, no manicure or hairdos, no lattes, no big Macs, no gasoline, no dentist or doctor appointments, no plane rides or bus rides, no purchases of ANY good or service, no watching TV or listening to the radio, a day of complete disconnect from the markets and the economy.
It will hurt many - that tends to be a necessary condition to avoid exterminations. Do you really think there is another way? Obama? Congress? The t-baggers? Wall Street? Or, are you just hoping the bad dream will eventually just find a way to end easily for you?
Our collective checking out for the day is not just a statement to our Nation's uber clsss but to the world's. The pundits have council us that Chinese leaders must continue to bury us with their exports to keep their seething masses employed and happy; let the world see what happens when America's middle class screams "no mas!"
If that first attempted day falls on its face, then it is followed by another latter attempt when even more people are personally impacted by the extermination. As the attempts grow, they begin to attract the attention of the mass media; first, as a curiosity or for some talking heads to ridicule, but as the movement begins to gain with each attempt, the fear begins to creep in - “the masses are not buying, the masses are not participating - and there is not a damn thing we can do about it!“
Best that it not be organized accept around a date picked out of someone’s ass. Let it go viral through the ‘Net. That lack of an organizing point for counterattack will make the uber elites and their minions feel like they are in “World War Z” - as in unstoppable zombies coming for them at their most vulnerable point.
This wasn’t my original idea. I found it being discussed on another website forum. I fleshed it out some, but I’ve try to stay true to their thoughts and language. I think that’s all any of us need to do to make this begin to happen, perhaps to go viral.
That, and for somebody to pick a date for the bottom 90%'s first attempt at an effective counterstrike.
Anyone else tired of just whinning?
