Dominance Games: Politics: Yes, we have no bananas

Dominance Games: Politics

We fight thee good fight hither and yon and we stand up for our national interests by encouraging our friends and martyring our enemies.  We imply and infer the forces of absolute power and we wish to shape the world in an image of relentless smartness and good grace.

That we fight wars so that we can set up new ones is an accident of policy and a mistake in the seeing.  Our enemies like strength.  Someone always has fun in dealing with the threats of conflict.  Muscle is good on its own terms but it always needs an excuse to exercise.

We fight the fight to keep us whole and broke and with benefits looming down on us all…. the winners.  Right for might.  Might for right.  Think seven steps ahead and have new enemies emboldened.  The mean world.

The creeps tell us simple tales and simple stories so that they can make the world a simple place and have the simple pleasures of the big stick come to those with the big mouth.

It is all so simple…that is why …yes, we have no bananas….the moxie in our heads.

Lets all worry about gods word instead.
