AMGer “pmconusa” posted a five paragraph exposition on the state of our civilization. It is pretty intense:

What you are witnessing is just the next stop on the road to extinction. If you look around you will see where we are going because others are further along the road and others, like the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Mayans, the Incas and the Romans have already disappeared. We are not satisfied with what nature provides but compete with each other in our gluttony to consume more.

Whoa. That’s heavy. Feel free to sit down and have a cup of dark tea while you ponder the impending extinction of America.

Have you managed to absorb all that yet?

Good, because there is more.

Like it or not the earth’s resources and natures continuing bounty are finite. In order to get what we need and protect what we have we stake out our territory and supposedly provide for its defense by establishing an elite group (government), allow it to make the rules for our protection and go about our merry way assuming that group will be satisfied with just having their needs satisfied but we don’t protect ourselves from the very ones we enabled to protect us.

Oh my god. He’s right. I’m not protecting myself from the very ones I enabled to protect me. How did I not see this before?

While the rest of us go about our merry way using up what nature has provided, the government has taken care of themselves and their friends at our expense. Countries no longer war with each other to get what they want because the price is too high. Instead, their disgruntled inhabitants migrate where the opportunity lies and as long as there is a surplus their encroachment is not suspected until it is too late. In less than two or three generations there will be no more ethnic Russians, in three most of Europe, including the United Kingdom will be governed by Muslims whose themselves or their parents migrated from the middle east or Africa where all but the oil has long been insufficient to sustain their populations.

A world with no more Russians? Holy Shit. Muslims governing Europe? Wow. Sound the alarms.

Wait- will there still be Russian Muslims??

Closer to home you have the story of the American Indian. Not a homogeneous race, but several races scattered all over the North American continent. They were stripped of their property by force or by cunning. They were slaughtered or isolated in enclaves as are the Palestinians today and they will soon die out, or be absorbed to where they no longer have an identity apart.

Those poor American Indians. They are just like the Palestinians, sans rockets.

Okay – sarcasm off. Guess what this weird speech was about? I’m serious, just take a moment to try and guess.

You are never going to believe it. But go on, guess.

No, that’s not it.

Not that either.

Are you ready?

It is about fricking K-Marts closing! I’m serious! K-MART! The Romans, the protectors we enabled who we need protection from, the Palestinians, the Indians, the Russians and the Muslims… All of that is tied together with K-MART closing some fricking stores! I’m not making this up.

The stores are in retreat because their customers, whom they rely on for survival, either don’t have the money to spend, cannot earn it where they are, or have moved to where the work is.
We have one last opportunity for hope and change and it isn’t Obama and the Democrats. Nor is it the Republicans. The rules laid down in the Constitution are sufficient if we put enough teeth in them, get both the President and the Supreme Court out of the legislative business and severely punish legislators who disobey the rules. Then we go after the state governments and do the same.

I’ve read a lot of bullshit Constitutional Ron Paul-esque arguments over the years on AMG, but this one takes the cake. This grown man (or woman) is saying that if we had followed a strict interpretation of the Constitution we wouldn’t have to worry about our local K-Mart closing. And apparently the Russians would be better off too (they might still exist?), but that’s not as important as the goddamn K-MART!

You. Cannot. Make. This. Up.
