Hey America! Are you still falling for this crap? I had always thought that once you get a glimpse behind the curtain, you'd wake the hell up, but apparently, I was wrong. Watching the news lately is like watching a rerun of a bad horror movie, only this time the monsters are real, and they’re all running things.
So, where did this all go so spectacularly wrong? Let's take a little walk down the Idiot Timeline, shall we?
Remember George W. Bush? The guy who convinced a nation we were fighting a war because of... well, what was it, exactly? Weapons of Mass Destruction? That was the official line they jammed down our throats, and like the good little sheep we are, we fucking SWALLOWED. No breath mints this time, just a bitter aftertaste that lasted for two decades.
Bush had the attention span of a gnat, the common sense of a houseplant, and the vocabulary of a third-grader. And yet, he ran the country. He took us from an actual tragedy—9/11—and immediately pivoted to some bullshit war in Iraq. Why? Who the hell knows! They took us from the actual story and shoved a half-baked, fear-mongering fantasy down our throats. It's the same Knee-Jerk Nation garbage, but this time, the President was the one hitting the panic button.
And when anyone dared to question the gaping holes in the story? The administration cried "Foul!" and the media immediately forgot the actual issue to blast the messenger. Sound familiar? It's the original playbook for modern American idiocy. It's like watching a kid refuse to do chores, and the parent, instead of disciplining the kid, decides to yell at the neighbor's dog.
Speaking of stupid people, let's talk about MAGA. You know, the crowd that wears the red hats and apparently forgot how to read a history book, a science book, or even a basic civics lesson. They're acting like the spoiled brats I ranted about years ago—giving up on anything if they're not good at it right away. They can't handle losing with grace, so they just flat-out throw the game and then scream that the rules were unfair.
They've embraced the anti-intellectual movement that sees Bill O'Reilly-style blowhards as factual sources. They're the ones who would have told me to "stop copying Maddox" years after I stopped writing, entirely missing the point and the dates on the articles. They’re the people who think they’re "fighting the establishment" while cheering for the same kind of cronyism and abuse of power that I saw back in the Martha Stewart days. Except this time, it’s not just a prison sentence being adjusted; it’s the entire damn foundation of democracy.
And the logic! It's the same babbling nonsense as the religious nuts I railed against. They find it very easy to put aside their so-called "beliefs" when it suits them. "Law and Order" only applies to people they don't like. "Patriotism" means waving a flag while tearing down the actual institutions of the republic. They're using a movement to inspire FEAR about our GOVERNMENT and they don't see the PROBLEM with this? Wake the hell up! You're being used by the very power structures you claim to hate.
And who is the puppeteer in this whole ridiculous spectacle? Vladimir Putin. This guy is the ultimate testament to the fact that we lack the attention span to realize what's happening. While we're all distracted by the latest celebrity gossip, or some MAGA moron posting "Haha" on a message board, this little jackass has been doing whatever the hell he wants on the world stage.
He's the guy who knows that America is a Knee-Jerk Nation—impulsive, paranoid, and easily distracted. He's been feeding us bullshit, and like the dumbasses we are, we're eating it up. He's got his little stooges running around, spreading chaos and division, and we're too busy arguing over whether a guy who got his start in the KGB is somehow a "strong leader" to ask the hard questions.
Bush was a fool, MAGA is a movement of self-satisfied, angry fools, and Putin is the guy laughing at all of us while he WOOSH takes another piece of the world. It’s like a political version of my mandatory sterilization program—all the stupid, ugly ideas are being allowed to breed unchecked.
So let's hear it for the USA! The great country of dumbed-down citizens with too much power and too little common sense.
Wake the fuck UP America! We're out of time!
Back to how awesome I am SpiffTheStupendous@yahoo.com
Ed Note:
Spiff the Stupendous was one of the web ranters from 2002-2009 I put up archived links to in my Compendium Page; - here on Memory Eta. having everyone and their mother call him a Maddox Ripoff is Retarded; - How is one basic type of thing; be it video game reviews or ranting, Ripoff material? They also ruin the word "original" when doing that; - Bite me, Detective Dipshit. There's nothing wrong with a bunch of people in various categories, doing their own thing; - and ya' need very specific criteria and evidence in order for something to be a real rip-off, as opposed to just doing their own thing.
Enjoy this new rant; - he moved to controlstheuniverse@blogspot.com, and I've been unable to find it or contact him; - but
