The Toymaster and its Clown Kingdom Need to be Quarantined

The United States is the Greatest Threat to Global Security

Hey kids, today I’m going to tell you a long story; a story about The Toymasters and their toys. Are you excited? :D

Sometimes, irresponsible children receive too many toys for their own good, become spoiled and selfish, self-consumed, do not learn shame or humility, or how to socialize and cooperate well with others.

They don’t learn to share their toys or respect that other children also can have toys that do not belong to them. And sometimes they spread themselves and their toys out too far from their bedroom and need to be reined in.

In these cases, someone ends up having to force them to pick up their toys and put them back where they belong.

Good parents and babysitters know this problem all too well.

What happens though when no one can or will rein in such a child and it comes to see everyone else as nothing more than a toy to be played with or wished away into the corn field of oblivion?

What happens when the child is untended to and has too much power to be controlled?

Gosh, that sounds eerily similar to a Twilight Zone episode.

There is a key developmental stage in a child’s life where a theory of mind emerges, where our innate empathy is expressed and it develops compassion, thoughtfulness and the ability to cooperate.

But it does not happen in all children and when this phase does not develop normally, a child can become warped, cruel and heartless, and it can adopt the ways of a bully and a sadist. It might become a serial killer, a cult leader, a megalomaniac, or merely a CEO or politician.

These damaged children become a parasite on the world and humanity; a virus that will not stop infecting everything else until stopped by some other force of nature or we find an antidote.

What happens if it manages to surround itself with an equally corrupted cabal of fly lords?

What happens when the flylords are a comedy troop as capable as an island of misfit toys?

The United States of America has become such a child and is a disease vector that needs to be quarantined and contained. It hasn’t always been obvious but under new management it has unveiled a dark, regressive underbelly that has always been there, even if sometimes dormant.

It is fitting then that it is led by an individual with the maturity, sophistication, and vocabulary of a young boy, approximately 5-7 years of age, whose development finished long ago, forever stunted by circumstance.

It is not a coincidence that the nation-state and its current leader and its misfit toys have so much in common, which is why the spoiled, dangerous child metaphor is so appropriate for analysis.

In the few years that this child did develop, its environment facilitated the invention of a fantasy world with a single false but persistent delusion; that it had a divine right to all the toys, its own manifest destiny and American exceptionalism mythology.

It was taught that all of the other children were inferior, but ironically, just as evil, competitive, and selfish as it was, and that its singular purpose was to beat them all and steal their toys before they stole its toys.

It was raised to become a “winner” and emperor of toys. It is a Toymaster.

It can only see the world through a zero sum lens where there can only be one winner and the only evidence of victory is to achieve a monopoly and absolute control over all the toys.

The poor naked would-be emperor boy was sadly not raised to ever become anything better. It had no chance to become an old, wise child with compassion and intellect or a decent, moral person. It was always a troublemaker, a poor student, and a bully. It was sent away to military school at 13 for behavioral problems. And it remains an it, stripped of any humanity and personhood to this day.

It is the physical embodiment of the seven deadly sins. It meets all the technical criteria of the dark tetrad: narcissism, machiavelianism, psychopathy, and sadism.

It is also spectacularly ignorant, incompetent, and unserious.

Its half a billion dollar inheritance allowed it to survive and exploit others but prevented it from ever acquiring a character or sense of responsibility.

After all, what chance did it have? Its father was a ruthless, racist sociopath and slumlord and its mother was weak, absent, and negligent.

The father was a manipulative, control freak with no moral compass or appetite for constraints, rules, or compassion. Those were understood as merely the petty, naive preoccupations of lesser things: the lazy, the poor, the stupid, the intellectuals, the minorities, the women, the working class, and the losers who were but pawns and useful idiots for greater toymasters of better blood and insatiable ambition.

Its father was arrested in 1927 at a Ku Klux Klan rally although never charged with a crime and both it and its father were sued by the Department of Justice for racial discrimination suggesting an unsurprising bias.

Given its father’s obsession with image management though, he would have understood and passed on to his offspring that both explicit Nazi sympathies and formal racist affiliation would be bad for their business interests.

Nevertheless, its opening salvo into the world of GOP politics in 2011 was to accuse the sitting black president of not being American and a Kenyan Muslim by pushing the false Birther conspiracy theory. This cannot be understood in any other light than as craven opportunism and bigotry.

It had been handed a ready made script provided by Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich and decades of civic and moral rot.

Its first act as president in its first term was to enact a comprehensive Muslim ban which was overturned by the courts.

Its justifcation was summed up in its quote:

"a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on."

How apropos that the rest of the world might want to take note and quarantine the United States with the same rationale.

He also infamously ran ads in several New York City newspapers in 1989 calling for the death penalty for the Central Park Five who were all later exonerated after the killer confessed and his DNA was confirmed.

It continues to claim their guilt to the present day.

After all, it learned from its two primary mentors, its authoritarian father and the disgraced Roy Cohn, “Always attack, never apologize, never admit defeat.”

Given countless pieces of behavioral evidence and ancestry (that was lied about) over the decades, it is not unreasonable to presume that there would probably have been a fondness for the American-German Bund movement of the 30s - an earlier incarnation of MAGA.

It allegedly kept a book of Hitler’s speeches next to its bed according to its ex-wife and it told General Kelly that “Hitler did a lot of good things.”

We can also see it employing many of the same propaganda tactics that autocrats like Stalin and Hitler used such as “fake news” or lügenpresse and the “Big Lie” or große Lüge regarding the 2020 election.

All of this behavior is also consistent with its praise and envy of other autocrats like Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-un, Xi Jinping, and Rodrigo Duterte who “command loyalty, silence dissent, and control messaging.”

It is no surprise that the junior toymaster grew up to see everyone as an object, a means to its end, to further its collection of toys, to satiate its vanity, further its thirst for glory, or to provide it with pleasure. Having little respect for its mother, women were to forever be relegated to a fuckability status, to be scored from 0-10.

They bleed too much and talk too much but if they score well enough, they might deserve to take their rightful place on their knees or enjoy the privilege of having their pussies grabbed by a rich celebrity who can. If not, they are only worthy to give it toys, worship it, and clean up after it.

It is an adjudicated rapist with dozens of credible sexual assault and abuse allegations over the decades. It is the most litigious president in history, involved in approximately 5,000 lawsuits.

It was best friends with Jeffrey Epstein for years who was convicted of sex trafficking minors. Interestingly enough, its administration just dropped its case on Epstein after promising to release all of the Epstein files. One can only wonder why it was suddenly dropped and why it so vehemently and defensively rejected questions from journalists on the topic.

The Jews may also give it toys and praise it or do its accounting, taxes, and banking.

The blacks may perform for it with their physical prowess and run quickly around its gaudy gold-leafed Colosseum and jump high for its entertainment.

The Arabs may buy its cryptocoin, towers, and golf courses.

If it has any respect, or rather envy, for anyone, it might be other dictator toymasters and successful golfers, particularly if they have a bulbous, glistening and enlarged member.

It was twice impeached for extorting a war-torn foreign ally to fabricate evidence against its political opponent in exchange for crucial military defense and for inciting an insurrection and attempted coup.

It is a felon, a pathological liar, a lifetime con artist, carnival barker, and serial sexual abuser who just happened to have enough money to purchase an army of attorneys to keep it solvent, out of prison, and not executed as a traitor.

But here is the rub, it was democratically elected not once but twice. It is loved and worshiped like a god by tens of millions. What can this possibly say about the trustworthiness and legitimacy of the world’s sole super power?

Its supporters are a mix of the greedy, the ignorant masses, the selfish, the eschatologist, the oligarch, and the simpleton bigot.

The implicit promise was to incessantly meme, taunt and “own the libs,” stop the “woke,” and make half the country cry. It was to restore the holy Christian empire, to satisfy prophecy and bring about the rapture. And it was to remove the smelly dark people from their midst who eat strange food and speak strange languages.

All hail the White American summer barbecue of lore with its glorious hot dogs, apple pie, bibles and flags. The mythical beast that once stormed the beaches of Normandy and freed the world from its future self.

A Faustian deal has been made with an incompetent, vapid chimp who shares almost none of their interests nor has any concern for freedom, patriotism, religion, country, progress, or global peace. It only seeks to rebrand the superpower in its image and to use its vast resources for its personal glory and family enrichment.

And the oligarchs of this world cautiously and silently applaud believing that they are actually in charge and the ultimate “winners.”

It is the commander toymaster of the most powerful empire in world history, with the financial capacity to cripple the world economy and the military might to unilaterally, at its singular whim, kill hundreds of millions, flatten and vaporize countless cities, and kill millions more from the ensuing nuclear radiation fallout and ensure its own mutually assured destruction (MAD).

Maybe it will wake up restless and bored and invade Greenland, Panama, Canada or Mexico. Maybe it will pump and dump global markets some more. Maybe it will destroy the dollar, the international economy, the UN, NATO, and democracy…..simply because it can.

It has approximately 800 military bases across the globe compared to around 100 from all other countries combined. It has 5000 nuclear warheads. It has thousands of aircraft, tanks, and drones, cyberwarfare capabilities that can disrupt power, finance, communications, and space-based surveillance and missile detection. Its annual military budget equates to more than the ten closest competitors combined.

And it now has a private paramilitary force with masked thugs unconstrained by state sovereignty and with a budget 4X that of the FBI and more than most foreign militaries.

Congress has abdicated its role as a co-equal branch of government and check on power. The fragile courts are the last bulwark and that dyke is cracking and full of fissures.

And yet it does not even know what kind of a country it leads.

When asked in 2019 at a G20 summit in Osaka to respond to Putin’s contention that Western liberal democracy was obsolete, it responded:

“Well, he may feel that way. ... I guess you look at what’s happening in Los Angeles, where it’s so sad to look, and what’s happening in San Francisco, and a couple other cities which are run by an extraordinary group of liberal people …”

And yet it knows nothing of nuclear deterrence or MAD.

“If we have them, why can’t we use them?” “What good does it do to have a good nuclear triad if you’re afraid to use it?”

And yet it has threatened to “bomb the shit” out of Beijing and Moscow.

And yet it knows nothing of its country’s history.

It once quipped during an independence day speech about airports being seized by the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War…..in the 1770s.

“Our Army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do.”

And yet it knows nothing of diplomacy, etiquette, basic manners, protocol, or class: it’s merely a clown peacock doing its best Benito impersonation at a NATO Summit.

And yet it knows nothing of America’s founding principles and values, the law, free speech, or freedom of the press.

It detests freedom because freedom allows others to have toys.

It has told military, law enforcement and its supporters to use lethal force and violence on protesters, immigrants and critics,

“If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously. Okay? Just knock the hell — I promise you, I will pay for the legal fees.”

”I’d like to punch him in the face, I’ll tell you.”

“crack their skulls,” “beat the f—k out of them,” and “just shoot them.”
“Can’t you just shoot them? Just shoot them in the legs or something?”

“When you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon — you just see them thrown in, rough — I said, please don't be too nice.”

“When you guys put somebody in the car and you're protecting their head ... the way you put their hand over [the suspect's] head, like, don't hit their head. I said, you can take the hand away, okay?”

In fact, it knows nothing at all besides reality shows, fake wrestling, tax evasion, and self-promotion. It doesn’t read. It can barely speak English. It doesn’t listen to intelligence or military briefings. It doesn’t listen to experts or advisors. It ignores and rejects science. It despises criticism, intelligence, and reason.

And it follows the authoritarian playbook to the letter.

The United States has descended into madness and a moral and intellectual rot, like a virus, has settled in and is spreading rapidly.

It has become a cult of personality fueled by runaway nationalist fervor coupled with Christian dominionism and is flailing away ever more erratically and violently at itself and the rest of the world with a laundry list of cultural and economic grievances and imagined global entitlements and privileges.

America’s descent into authoritarianism or “democratic backsliding” has been “unusually rapid and visible compared to other developed democracies” like Russia, Hungary, Turkey, and the Philippines. While the process is not complete, the trajectory is very alarming and it is not clear that it can be reversed.

As I alluded to earlier, it was not always so.

The United States is a relatively young country. It has not learned many of the lessons that its European cousins had to learn the hard way over millennia. It was birthed from The British Empire and its Toymaster, King George III in a very different time.

It invented itself in the lawless “wild wild west” and taught itself the new principle of “rugged individualism.” The pioneers didn’t have the luxury or interest in learning the classics or studying history.

It “inherited” one of the richest lands in the world with vast natural resources and an envious geography, protected by vast oceans on both sides, widely considered to be one of the most defensible countries in the world.

The United States has been invaded very few times compared to most other countries, especially those in Europe. In fact, it is one of the least invaded major powers in modern history. That is largely due to its geographical advantages and its recent military buildup.

One might say it only knows “winning” and has yet to ingest any humble pie or develop any humility. Sound at all familiar?

One might metaphorically compare its history to a spoiled, privileged child who inherited a fortune and was protected by armies of attorneys and a family brand.

It was once a noble project admired and respected by the rest of the world; a new democracy which rejected its ruthless and authoritarian parent and embraced secular and scientific values, pluralism and internationalism.

It embedded in its founding documents the promise of equality, fairness, the rule and protection of law, economic opportunity, and the relatively unencumbered pursuit of happiness. It championed and promoted international cooperation, multilateralism, international law, and human rights.

But it took centuries for universal suffrage to take hold and it had a ruthless and cruel past. Many consider it to have stolen the land from the indigenous without adequate compensation. It has a long sordid history of chattel slavery. It had an even longer history of segregation and oppression. It interned Japanese Americans in concentration camps as recently as the 20th century.

There are eery similarities in its recent past between the MAGA movement and the German-American Bund movement of the 1930s, despite the Bund being a relatively small movement with only up to 100,000 national sympathizers.

They did manage to fill Madison Square Garden with 20,000 people in 1939 and they shared many of the same values like: nationalist nostalgia, authoritarian admiration, xenophobia and nativism, media hostility, anti-democratic rhetoric, mythical pasts, conspiracy theories, and belief in “pure” patriotism.

Its apex is the economic and military goliath and behemoth that it became in the pre and post second world war period. The post war period created arguably the largest and most successful middle class in history and saw a massive improvement in standard of living and became the envy of the world. That was the golden period of America and established a global aspiration, “the American Dream.”

Since then, any coherent American identity has mostly eroded.

Decades of foreign policy blunders, the abandonment of socially liberal policy and a massive redistribution of wealth to the top has created crater-size social divisions and runaway tribal animosity.

The death of its archnemesis, the USSR, has paradoxically led to its own social and moral decline. Since then it has engaged in illegitimate foreign wars, disrupted entire regions of the globe, killed hundreds of thousands of civilians, abandoned its allies and the international organizations that it championed and helped establish.

It has become a pariah state and the trend has only accelerated since it was elected.

It has elected a craven madman whose only gift is to understand that a vulnerable population will always be susceptible to demagogues. It has always been and will always be the most successful political play.

It simply put pressure on America’s most regressive and insecure buttons.

It bears all the hallmarks of that spoiled, undeveloped, selfish child that needs to be reined in.

One might say the United States has become a self-absorbed, spoiled little child that inherited too many toys and has experienced too much winning. No one has really ever kicked its arrogant little behind yet. And arrogance can lead to complacency, self-consumption, decadence, and a misplaced sense of superiority.

While the world should rightly reject much of America’s mostly white privileged, leftist virtue-signaling and postmodernism, that problem is relatively benign and the pendulum effect will solve that problem in short order.

It is Goliath’s neoimperialist and fascistic urges that need to be addressed before it’s too late. One might even say it’s time to get more “woke,” the sort of woke that united a century ago to prevent a global apocalypse.

The world needs to get organized now while the United States is still preoccupied with its reality show and its insatiable lust for celebrity and billionaires. Prepare while it stares into its reflection and posts selfies like Narcissus.

The world needs a little cancel culture. The Cartman show needs to end.
