The American Ignoratti
America is the universal donor, not the universal recipient. We are sick, and there is an obvious reason for our malady.
Over the past couple of days, as I watched the political activists masquerading as reporters and anchors try to spin the contraction of America’s economy as a good thing, I couldn’t help but think about yet another Hayek quote:
“The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design.”
It always amuses me, in a macabre way, of course, how these perfumed and immaculately coiffed expert morons and economic illiterates will claim our leadership are masters of the universe one moment and completely powerless the next – depending upon party affiliation, of course.
Since I first heard Hayek’s quote (I was in college), I have focused on the “how little they really know” part, especially the way the Ignoratti (the opposite of the Illuminati) ignore the burst lips and broken teeth when the evidence is repeatedly punching them right in the mouth.
Biden’s term has been an MMA brawl from the first moment it began.
We have been getting our asses kicked on every front.
Politicians always rationalize everything. It is a survival skill they learn. Avoiding blame for reality is how they survive. Both parties do it, but Democrat administrations are particularly adept at this type of spin, but the Biden administration’s performance stands out as a master class. Everything is going wrong at the same time, and they are responsible for none of it. It’s the fault of Trump, Covid, Putin, supply chains, Big Oil, Big Meat, sunspots, but mostly, it is your fault for not blindly supporting policies that are hurting you.
I think it is clear to anyone outside of the DC bubble that America is sick.
I have always been fascinated how associations of people behave much like living organisms. From church and local service groups to entire nations, entities made up of individuals collectively act much like a living body, they have personalities, they consume resources, they produce waste, they grow, they can be poisoned or infected with disease, and they can be cured – or they can die.
Do you know your blood type?
Mine is type 0 negative.
I am what is known as a “universal donor” because my red blood cells carry no antigen. Anybody in the world, regardless of blood type, can accept my blood without risk.
But I cannot accept every blood type, no O-Negative person can.
If someone like me (with Type O blood - blood with no A or B antigens on the surface of red blood cells) receives red blood cells donated from someone with Type B blood (blood containing B antigens), my immune system would kick into gear, immediately identify the new blood cells as foreign and seek to destroy them.
Antibodies attack by binding to the foreign antigens on the surface of red blood cells. This ultimately causes those red blood cells to rupture, destroying them entirely. In small amounts, rejected blood can be filtered out by the kidneys, but larger transfusion amounts could cause kidney failure and could lead to death.
When you think about the Biden agenda, there is not a single thing they have implemented that is not attacking the body of this nation. From the ongoing catastrophe at the border, to the continuing missteps in public health, social and foreign policy, to the disastrous economic actions (I’m not sure they can be called “policies” because they seem to be randomly applied based on political need), there is literally nothing working to make the lives of American citizens better (or at least not making them worse).
Americans are like O-Negative blood types, we are the universal donors – we are called upon to give without ceasing through punitive and confiscatory taxation, our charity is a mainstay of global relief efforts, our military is sent to fight both wars and natural disasters and our welfare state has exploded in support of massive illegal immigration, with the incorporation of over two million illegal immigrants (that we know of) just the last twelve months.
But the blood we are receiving is killing us. It is being mainlined into our veins with such ferocity and volume, the natural functions of our bodies simply cannot filter it out. America is getting sicker by the minute and the organs of our nation are beginning to shut down.
We are looking at a complete systems failure. That is why you are feeling that literally everything is wrong – it is because it is wrong. Our national body is being attacked at the mitochondrial level, not a single cell isn’t under assault.
What this indicates is says less about Democrats as individuals, America can tolerate a little bit of AOC, Lieawatha and Bernie because our systems can filter and flush incompatible blood cells – but as a governing ideology, this progressive/neoliberal agenda is just too much. It is like an O-Negative country getting a massive transfusion of type B blood – and rather than recognizing the incompatibility and changing, they are ordering more units of B to be hung.
Because that’s all they know how to do.
We can’t handle an incompatibility of that magnitude.
There is a reason America is sick and getting sicker.
Just as B blood is incompatible with an O-Negative body, progressivism/neoliberalism is completely incompatible with America.
The only way to resolve this situation is to stop the transfusion.
Immediately.
