MEANWHILE IN THE PROZAC NATION

      As part of the mighty Conservative pushback as the Silent Majority takes back the country in the Culture Wars, the news came out today that Modelo Especial has overtaken Bud Light in sales of cheap, foul-tasting American beers. Let it never be said that we Americans don't have our priorities in order when it comes to defending our Rights. Sure, it's no problem when Big Ag bankrupts small farmers to steal their land; or WEF Oligarchs move to take over and socially engineer the food supply---so what if we pay $6 for bread and $10 for butter? Mess with our grog, though, and you're playing with fire! 

    Unfortunately for these virtue-signalling consumers, it happens that Modelo Especial is controlled by the same Ag Cartel which owns Bud Light. Way to own those Libtards, guys. 

     A concept that the American Right can't seem to come to grips with is that a cabal of unelected, unaccountable Corporate bureaucrats is just as a great a threat to our Liberties and our Culture as an unelected, unaccountable Government bureaucracy is. Our economic system in the United States is essentially privatized Socialism, as opposed to traditional State Socialism. That is all that this Fourth Industrial Revolution and so-called Stakeholder Capitalism really amounts to. This is why boycotts never work out any better than voting does. In voting, we have the choice of two parties controlled by the same people; in Privatized Socialism we have the choice of goods and services controlled by the same people. Increasingly, the line between Government and Business has become almost indistinguishable---with Regulatory Capture and Corporate Lobbying controlling political decisions and politicians simply outsourcing governmental functions to private contractors.

   In the phony Left-Right Paradigm pushed as the Official Narrative, the GOP is portrayed as defenders of the Free Market while the Democrats are portrayed as defenders of the social safety-net (as if the two ideals were mutually exclusive). Neither approach addresses the fundamental systemic problem: that the people have no real power against either Corporate or Government overreach. If corporate cartels like Anheuser-Busch-InBev were broken into about 20 pieces and we had labor laws with some teeth again---as well as restrictions on foreign lobbying and actual regulation of the Stock Market, we'd see just how much 'wokeness' these crooks could get away with. 

  But suggest any of that, and one gets an indignant "No way! That's interfering with the Free Market!" Fine. Go on drinking Modelo Especial instead of Bud Light and pretending that you really have a choice. Meanwhile, the Oligarchs will go on rolling in the cash while they keep pushing their woke agendas.
