The Corporate State, Social Collapse, And The Cult Of Fear
meaninginhistory.substack.com
I want to tie several themes together here. American Thinker this morning has a couple of pieces that focus on economics and the State. What they both point out, in their own ways, is the malign role of "cooperation"--or should we say "collusion"?--between the State and the Corporate center. In other words, we're talking about the sector of society with a Monopoly on Violence--the State--cooperating or colluding with the sector that has a monopoly on, well, just about every aspect of our lives, as things have developed. As American society has developed in the last 50 years, there's very little that is not either under the active control of the State and major corporations or that cannot be brought under that control if so desired. Corporations 50 years ago didn't wield that kind of power, but Big Finance, Big Pharma, and Big Tech/Social Media have utterly changed that. That's the nature of our New Normal. Factor into that the exponential intrusiveness of the Deep State brought on by the Global War On Terror--now morphing into a Global Social Justice Crusade and a Global War On Domestic Terror--and we have a very stressed cultural environment.
