you know that old joke about how every american is a temporarily embarrassed millionaire?

or carlin's old joke about how US politicians don't just come out of the ether, they're born and raised in shitty little greedy communities just like themselves

america is finally getting what it deserves, there's some fantastic little irony in it being almost entirely self-delivered. insofar as if the US-elite werent so short-sighted and greedy, they would have easily been able to stop Murdoch and other propagandists (some russian, some chinese) from tearing the country apart. but they didn't because the american elite largely don't care about the US either, they're just pissed that somebody else has outdone then in squeezing their own.
