Messiah Complex

A spectre is haunting... America; and it isn't communism. It isn't radical Islamism. It isn't even capitalism itself. It's Christianity. A particularly pernicious, politicised Christianity. 'In God We Trust', One Nation Under God', etc., etc., are the tropes of a 'nation' that is the result of the colonisation of a foreign continent by a motley bunch of assorted European disaffects several hundred years ago. That much is history, and the native peoples of America are still struggling to cling on to what is, after all, their birthright. Whatever good was squeezed from the sour pith of colony in the middle part of the last century: civil rights, racial emancipation and equal rights for women and LGBTQ+ people of all stripes, is not now simply being eroded, but actually bulldozed over the cliff edge that separates human rights & freedoms, and the return of enslavement by difference.

Difference of skin colour, race, gender or sexuality: a pick 'n' mix of bigotry and entitlement is being played out under the pretence of piety in the name of the one, 'true' God: the [Christian] Bible as the AK47 of political ambition [and I'm pretty sure Trump has barely opened the covers of his Bible: he simply wields it as dog-whistle prop when he sees fit]. Pictured above is The Anointed One President Trump, surrounded by supplicants in prayer. The favoured get to touch the hem of his robe fondle his shoulder-pads, as they contemplate their future financial enrichment should they toe the line and follow The Don's orders to the letter: the alternative being a metaphorical baseball bat to the back of the head. 

And the current focus of these sorry excuses for 'men'? The complete and utter disenfranchisement of women and any person not fitting their exacting racial or sexual stereotypes. To these utter fuck-wits, and I use the term in its most vituperative sense [I'm not sure that it's exactly an ambiguity, anyway...], well over fifty percent of the world's population should return to enslavement by the minority [read White Anglo-Saxon Protestant Men], as they apparently know better! Please God [and I don't cleave to one], can you just sort out these deluded misogynist, racist and egotistical excuses for humanity once and for all? Please, visit plagues of boils, STD's and haemohrroids on them to distract them from their pathetic endeavours long enough for us to defeat them in the polls or by any other means available to us. They deserve far greater punishment, but it would at least be a start...
