Bad Cattitude’s snarky take on ideologies and hypocrisies
Tom KirkmanIndependent Project Manager
Bad Cattitude is a writer full of snark and memes. This piece discusses left wing, right wing, Davos, ideologies, and hypocrisies, among other things.
====================
“always accuse the other side of that which you are guilty
watching the explosive cases of the vapors breaking out all over europe as country after country shifts right in attempts to save themselves from technocratic and ideological domination driven ruin endlessly foisted upon them by the cool kids table at davos is getting quite instructive.
but perhaps even more so is the gross and utter revisionism and false claims and history being engaged in by these flailing fascisti as they contemplate their fall from grace and loss of power.
the histrionic hectoring is full throated.
… we sit at a time of profound potential for remaking. the hand of impositional totalitarian structures has been badly overplayed and all over the west, people are rising and saying they have had enough and want another way.
but the way we choose will matter greatly. putting a new cast of characters in charge of the same machinery will at best be a band-aid that briefly arrests our slide down the slippery slope to autocratic rule by rube and at worst simply slides us into the arms of different dictators for while fascism may be left wing, there is no shortage of right wing authoritarianism as well.
it is the power amassed by the state and the vast bureaucracies that put this rubber upon our road to serfdom and so long as they remain intact, our lives and livelihoods will never be safe.
the cult of “build back bigger” is the antithesis of human agency. what we must do instead is to dismantle until we are free. …”
