US President Joe Biden used his farewell address to the nation to deliver stark warnings about an “oligarchy” of ultra-wealthy individuals and a “tech-industrial complex” that infringes on Americans’ rights and threatens the future of democracy in the nation.
The whole speech was here’s everything I was aware of but didn’t address
Well, you see, it was only a problem for him when it turned against him. When he actively supported it his entire career it was the obvious and natural order of things
“Here’s all the cool stuff we politicians can do. Suck it. Bye!”
“And I did nothing about it. Worse, I helped get more into office!”
We didn’t listen to Eisenhower; I don’t think we’re going to listen to Biden.
Oh, you mean the oligarchy that put Trump in the office the first time? The one that put you in the office after Trump completely fucked up the economy? The one that’s been selecting both presidential candidates for the last, oh, I don’t know, five decades? Six? Longer, probably? The one that’s been crushing the spirit of every living person around the world with the promise of a meager subsistence life, and that’s if they like you or you’re convenient to their ends? And they’ll throw you on the pyre of capitalism if it earns them a single cent more? That oligarchy?
Yeah, sure. Thanks for giving it the old college try, Joe.
And by his lack of action, let them in. ‘Sleepy Joe’ seems rather an apt moniker, although not for the Mango Mussolini’s reasons.
