Clown World is literally killing its host civilization. Again.
If an American, German, French, Canadian, or Dutch citizen examined the state of their nation in the 80s/early 90s, when globalization went into overdrive, and compared it to today, what would they see? The greatest wealth transfer from the middle class to the oligarchy in history, permanent war, a ramped-up police state, weaponized immigration overload, wild inflation, and Rothschild Zionist control of every facet of society. The neocon/neoliberal ravaged Global South fared worse.
“Western” parasite globalization takes locally grown carrots, transports them around the world, and either sells the marked-up carrots back to their place of origin or forces the local carrot-growing region to sell their good carrots globally and buy inferior and more expensive carrots from abroad. This wastes energy and produces unnecessary pollution. It also creates superfluous middlemen, toll collectors, and debt. Flooding a domestic market with foreign products that the domestic market can produce crushes local labor.
Digital platform globalization takes it to the next level, whereby everything sold digitally (which is practically “everything.”) pays a cut to the digital toll collector, extracting wealth from artists, musicians, content creators, entrepreneurs, and other value producers, and transferring the profits to the oligarchy through Amazon, Apple Music, PayPal, etc. Worse, by moving humanity’s data to the digital platform, Big Tech finance not only controls, but in reality owns, all intellectual property from antiquity to the present.
The remarkable thing is how Clown World’s advocates have absolutely nothing to defend it with. Nothing works anymore. Despite being drenched in an absolute torrent of pornography in every form, young women would rather work as virtual prostitutes and young men would rather play games than get together; sexual oversaturation has proven to be a far more effective libido-killer than censorship and chaperons. Despite the supposed benefits of free trade and massive immigration, the economies are collapsing and the once-mighty industrial power Great Britain now has the manufacturing capacity of a small Caribbean island circa 1700. Despite 72 childhood vaccines, young adults are unhealthier than they have ever been.
And yet, all the clowns can do is to bleat “democracy” and “racism” and “good for the economy”. All they have to offer is more of the lies that have already been comprehensively disproven by current events and observable reality.
Any society that wishes to survive into the future, let alone thrive, needs to reject the poison fruits of the so-called Enlightenment and actively disavow Clown World and all its fake pomps.
