Richard D. Wolff & Michael Hudson (Two Very Smart Economists): Is the US Rapidly Approaching Bankruptcy?

‘The answer may surprise you’.

You cannot listen to and understand what these people are telling you clearly, and then come back around to the question of elections still believing that it matters, even a little bit, whether the reddish-orange guy or the blue lady wins.

All the little cultural hot-button signaling issues that you pray to and hinge everything on, like abortion and gun control and prayer in schools, are revealed as ridiculous distractions from the fact that you and I, We The People, are being systematically fucked, and don’t even notice because we’ve been taking that rape and exploitation all our lives.

This is the truth about what we call Capitalist Democracy.

Read it and weep, or just go on with your lives blind to it.

I’m sure it’ll be fine either way.
