He beats me because he loves me!

Twenty years ago today was a Thursday— the 30th of August, 2001.
Alicia Keys was the top musical artist with her hit Fallin’ and looked like this:

Big press items of the day included sensational news like Michael Jackson getting Marlon Brando to star in his music video for You Rock My World, and

Appeals court backs right to sue teachers for not teaching in English

BY MATT SEBASTIAN • CONTRA COSTA TIMES • AUGUST 30, 2001 

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. Parents can sue their children’s teachers if they don’t speak English in the classroom, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday, upholding a key enforcement provision of California’s controversial Proposition 227.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 2-1 decision, ruled Prop. 227’s enforcement provision is constitutional and not too vague, as the teachers had argued.

Backed by 61 percent of the state’s voters, Prop. 227 mandates that “all children in California public schools shall be taught English by being taught in English.” The law also allows parents to sue teachers or administrators who “willfully and repeatedly” refuse to offer students “the option of an English language instructional curriculum in public school.”

‘The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there.'

What has loyalty to the US Regime gotten Americans? Red State, or Blue State—what has improved for the great majority of people in this country? Those many millions who are not the fabled 0.1% nor part of the ‘upper middle class’, the remaining 9.9 of the upper ten, heralded as a new American Aristocracy?

Has the American regime kept their kids healthy, especially in a pandemic?

But perhaps it’s a blip, perhaps the kids are alright, and were before COVID?

And this pattern isn’t limited to America’s kids either:

Besides part of the American nation, its heritage population, dying and committing suicide en masse and being demographically replaced in their own country, maybe Americans earned more as a result of US Regime control?

No, that doesn’t appear to have been the case; Americans didn’t get wealthier.

In fact, the US middle class has declined every year, now poorer than Canada’s, and its poor, onto whom we euphemistically heap dignity with “working class”—the poor—are worse off than Europe’s poor in every way; their access to basic healthcare is worse, their life expectancies are worse, their food is worse (actually everyone’s food in America is worse, and it really is the regulations). And where even in France—socialist, hairy, cigarette smoking, oversexed, underworked, snooty yet disgusting, France—they have introduced stronger measures to combat and reduce total net migration, US political culture (and the judiciary) carries on with aims to import more poor.

So wealth, health—these are out. How about stuff like infrastructure or works?This is the country of the Interstate Highway System, so surely that’s strong!

Do I even need to link to anything? Do I need to show any adult how the US has shitty trains and bridges, while the Chinese are building truly great ones? Perhaps we are finally past certain jingoists claiming it’s all just “Ghost Cities”.

Has US Regime loyalty gotten people more educated or just more indebted? Has the socio-political monopoly of its upper classes and their media stranglehold produced a youth generation that marries and has children?

It’s at this point, a particularly feeble exhortation may be made about SpaceX or something. Now, I like seeing the rocket go zoom! as much as the next guy, but what does that do for premier American cities filled with addicts and criminals and sometimes torched over now-retired policing of the same?

Conservatives especially bristle at the suggestion things are rotten in America. Bashing America, not saluting the Flag, rolling one’s eyes at the anthem—this is the domain of hippies and commies and traitors and liberals. It’s Godless.

But how much longer can this charade be kept up? How much longer should Americans play the part of the Pentagon’s dupes and be loyal to dysfunction?

Fear not; I am not about to ask anyone to do anything in or out of Minecraft. But American Millennials are entering their early 30s. The time for childishness is past, and the geriatrics at the helm are going to die quite soon. In short order the kind of government Americans get will not be one that’s abused them, but one they’ve allowed abuses—or one they have encouraged. There are only two situations where women are slapped around by men.
