Human, All Too Inhuman, All Too Inhuman: The Epstein/MAGA World As The Will To Power

Dream of the sadist, Otto Dix

The Epstein abominations, to state the obvious, are revealing, in lurid detail, hidden in plain sight, unnerving aspects of human nature; withal, what transpires during human sexuality is an analog, sublime and grotesque, redemptive and soul-decimating, of all things human. Epstein and his billionaire boys club exploitation of their victims are a microcosmic reflection of the capitalist macrocosm. According to the creed of the global economic elite, all things on planet earth and beyond into the cosmos (Elon’s maniacal fantasies involving his clown car rocketry) are fodder for exploitation.

Due to the fact that the economic elite believe they possess the entitlement to throw the planet’s human life sustaining climate into exponential runaway because they cannot run their life-defying existence without fossil fuel – how is it conceivable that they would regard teenage girls and women from lesser socio-economic backgrounds as anything less than fodder for exploitation? We, of the lower economic orders, are regarded as commodified, disposable consorts on everyday, capitalist Epstein’s Islands, albeit with a scenery comprised of stripmalls in decline and health-decimating, fast food outlets.

In short, we are not talking so much about sexuality but the violation of human beings, body and soul. Born into economic privilege, globe-trotting Ghislaine Maxwell scoured trailer parks in search of economically desperate teenage girls to service Jeffery Epstein’s hebephilic mania. Isn’t it obvious, from their insular perches of luxury, they view the entire planet as a trailer park?

Donald Trump, to protect his adult diaper-draped hind, has transferred Maxwell to a Club Fed facility where the warden complains he is pressured to act as her luxury hotel concierge.

The only way out of this dehumanizing setup is to break the cycle of exploitation — that is, molecule structure to insular, gated mansion, the capitalist order itself.

First, there is not an inherent right to be a billionaire. Look at the depravity engendered within the psyches of individuals whose vast wealth, in essence, allows them to defy the tenets of basic human decency.

They have lost their souls because they believe they own us and they have purchased us on the cheap; to retain our souls we must resist them. First step in recovery: Believe this: They do not possess any entitlement to own you – or our planet for that matter. My soul does not come with a sales tag,........
