It seems to me that
what is missing from the viewpoint of the establishment in the
current intense discussion of the USA presidential candidates is the
understanding that it has been shown to be false.
I mean by
“establishment” the existing group of people who consider their
money and their self-esteem and power to be real, true, legitimate,
benign.
They haven't
quite realized the validity and extent of our perception of the establishment's falsity in every
walk of life - in the academy, politics, the USA's wars, medicine, law,
business, law enforcement, prisons, drug laws, police, finance,
education, entertainment, sports, TV, radio, newspapers, the military.
It is like the fairy
tale in which an emperor and his dependents are experiencing a child point out
what every body else can see - but they themselves have not yet
registered it, have not yet been able to see what everyone else can
now see very clearly. They have an inkling, but they haven't yet
grasped the fact of their own destitution.
