The role of elections in the system we live in is to distract people from the hard job of surviving the crushing imperialistic oligarchy that dominates everything. It is working very well one more time.

Let us start by recognizing that fascism and imperialism are the epitome of the reductionist philosophy. Break a complex whole into parts and lose the reality of the whole while being fascinated by the parts. Elections are but a part of this scheme, but a central part.

The particular fragment of the whole represented by those who support Trump are not a new addition to the system. They are instead a core part of it and have evolved to where they are as part the whole system. We saw them during the period of overt segregation and we saw them behind Joe McCarthy and we see them now in this manifestation. Treating them as a faction or fragment is a typical reductionist error. They do nothing more than reflect the ideology that drove those who colonized this continent, took it using genocide, and used slaves to build it. We now find it convenient to sever that connection and see them as some sort of isolated phenomenon.

What is even more dangerous is to allow that ploy to distract attention from HRC and her imperialistic mindset. It is no less consistent with the aforementioned ideology, but far more sophisticated and therefore far more dangerous in many ways. The election can not harm the system's progress in any way. It has no one in the oligarchy worried.

Yet all too many otherwise conscious people have been seduced by the trap. Anything you write and post that gives legitimacy to the election furthers its cause. The level of participation on facebook is an example of how totally effective this ploy is. We are all guilty of participating in our own destruction as we play this sick game.

Reductionist thought has been the core philosophy of our civilization and it leads to a very special kind ofGlobal Insanity
