WWL Radio #39 Predictions for a Failed State

Crossposted from the The Wild Wild Left where you can check out some of the discussions pertinent to this topic.

Join WWL cohosts Diane Gee and Michael Gottlieb tonight on BTR at 6PM EDT.

Our conversation continues from last week, expanding on the already collapsed Empire of the United States and our options for facing the fallout of that fact. We are going to talk about the basic break with reality that is pervasive in the American mentality, and frame it in both the converse reaction to the health care debate and the utter lack of response to the economic crisis.

My position reflects that of some of my other learned colleagues, in that this collapse already happened, as far as the individuals within the population is concerned. From the JFK coup to Reaganomics to what Bush has wrought, the Corporate Government has consolidated their power irredeemably. The class war has already been played out, and the people lost.

So what remains is how to deal with reality, and if Americans can ever break free of the veil and see that reality. What remains is what we envision next. Fight, flight or fucktitude?

This discussion has been scrutinized over several threads these past days and continues today. Should we cling to the “Positive Thinking Brainwashing,” or remain “Prophets of the Doom?”

We are hoping to have a special guest call in and weigh in, and hope to hear from all of you as well.

See you there! As always, respectful questions and commentary are welcomed.

Join Gottlieb and Diane tonight at 6pm EDT on Wild Wild Left Radio, via BlogtalkRadio, for an interesting hour of Political Reporting and Commentary.
