Nurturing extractive systems

 

Imagine the kind of degradation that express such views and then britishery of the media that conceives these cringe headlines (the marketing intention of these are to imprint on herd while they may not read the details, it’s about attracting attention and take away value system). Such sickness, and these very colonial minded patronize the ‘third world’ with their angst industry, with thyselves in the central role as arbitrators and dispensers. After depleting resources and severely infecting fledgling democracies with feudal values they select genuflecting degraded feudals from outside Europe to shower their largesse. They also select few as representing poorer societies, or those they assume need their guidance, the burden they carry seep out as angst. Meanwhile the sleek representors study the needs and nuances of their benefactors and act accordingly, and usurp benefits that comes from hallowed position of representing diversity and gain gravitas to guide us in the ‘third world’. These are to represent the other world, the exotic, and worst references they are (caste cannibal’s hypocritical sleaze and monster mullah’s barbarian values) the better for their positioning. The scale of difference will have to be stretched for assurance of deal. The problem is that, thanks to technology, this quaint world of debauchery and hedonist orgy of constructed ideas of diversity that is dumped on people is being breached. People are not usable for grander narrations. That likes of Trump is even having a fighting chance is clearly a failure of democracy and serious indictment of power hungry elite who controlled the narration. It’s an opportunist mix of arrogance and complacency. Even if Harris wins US democracy is already compromised. 

Countries like Britain have not only degraded the world with their colonial excess (which ofcourse I am not terribly concerned since these were done century back, in the time frame when brutal power mattered and that nincompoop and inbred mediocres were incapable to respond shows their lack, what matters is systems that exist now). Colonial structures and administrative mechanism were spinoff benefits of transfer of power as it provided stability on which democratic institution could be built. This however couldn’t work since the feudal british nurtured their replicants leading to wanton corruption, crony capitalism and nepotistic consolidation. Feudal values created deference to authority and crave for power. Britishery infected values of fledgling democracies muting their possibilities. Meanwhile the arrogance of west morphed into self-flagellating angst. Self here is cleverly extended to common people on whom this burden is pushed. West will not be allowed to control narration, nor with its selected minions as representors. It is not about people but systems that is being nurtured (to take the example from pic here, these two are probably nice people but that is not the point at all and we aren’t bothered). Feudal values create extractive systems. It nurture exploitative systems in whatever form it arise and extinguishes possibilities of inclusive values (except under the theatrics of feudal patronage or orchestrated largesse of feudals controlling state machinery). It undermines democracy and degrade humanity. It is a dead end for ethics. Abyss of hopelessness.
