Conventional Politicians Are Infinitely Weirder Than Marianne Williamson by Caitlin Johnstone

Night one of the CNN Democratic debates has come and gone, and if you missed it you did not miss much.

Basically the entire thing can be summed up as Jake Tapper asking the progressives on stage, "So explain why Americans would vote for your policies when we here at CNN have been telling them for years that they are not allowed to support those policies?"

Then for balance they ask one of the boring centrist candidates to explain why Bernie Sanders is crazy. Repeat for two and a half hours.

Disrupting the monotony was Marianne Williamson, who once again was the most-searched candidate following the debate.

She raised eyebrows by using the phrase "dark psychic forces" to describe President Trumps demagoguery, prompting many ironically ironic tweets from ironically ironic people eager to make fun of how weird and ridiculous this self-help guru woman is.

Which to me is a bit odd seeing as the people she is being compared to are status quo politicians, who are some of the most freakishly insane creatures on this planet.

I am not a fan of Marianne Williamson, nor of anyone else in this primary race for that matter.

But the candidates who push against the status quo in some way do tend to highlight various aspects of the oppression machine in ways I find interesting, and the reaction to Ms Williamson is certainly no exception.

I mean, this same debate saw Mayor Pete Buttigieg saying that "assault weapons, things like what I carried overseas in uniform.. have no business in United States of American neighborhoods in peacetime, let alone anywhere near a school."

In other words, such weapons do not belong in the United States of America, they belong overseas murdering foreigners for crude oil and Raytheon profit margins.

This argument is becoming more and more common in Americas gun control debate, and the only reason people do not shout and shudder in revulsion upon hearing it is because the propagandists of the political-media class have normalized military mass murder in mainstream American consciousness to such a severe extent.

This same debate also saw former Colorado governor John Hickenlooper argue that United States troops should remain in Afghanistan for "humanitarian" reasons and to protect "the condition of women", apparently in an attempt to court the key voting demographic of people who have been sealed in a soundproof time capsule since 2001.

He literally said "Look at the progress that has happened in that country." With his literal face hole.

This same debate also saw Montana Governor Steve Bullock extolling the merits of keeping a nuclear first strike policy on the table for the United States.

This man sincerely argued that it is good and right for the United States to be prepared to use nuclear weapons even when not attacked with nuclear force, and for other nuclear-armed nations to see this and know this.

This is clearly an omnicidal, psychopathic position which threatens every organism on our planet, but today everyones talking about Ms Marianne Williamson and energy crystals.

These people are freaks.

If someone came into our world from a parallel universe where humanity is healthy, the least of their concerns on that stage would be the lady talking about love and slavery reparations.

If people could really see what is happening in their nation and their world with fresh eyes, they would scream in horror.

But that is the exact status quo that all these sane, normal, serious politicians have dedicated their lives to upholding.

One where people are deliberately kept poor by a plutocratic class which understands that money is power and power is relative.

One where the most powerful military force in history circles the globe and wages endless wars upon disobedient populations.

One where we rip apart the flesh of our planet and dump poison into our air and our water in facilitation of a new mass extinction event which will someday claim our own species if not reversed.

One where we point weapons at each other that can wipe out cities, cover the earths surface in nuclear radiation, and fill the sky with black soot blocking out the sun for decades, and we play with escalations toward the deployment of such weapons like it is a game.

The only reason any of this seems normal to anyone is because the propagandists have normalized it.

The only reason the politicians who help support this system seem normal to anyone is because the propagandists have normalized them.

Without the filter of propaganda warping our sense of reality, we would see these depraved monsters for what they really are.

If all of humanity suddenly took sane pills today, we would not be mocking some longshot Democratic candidate for saying things in a slightly different way than we are used to hearing them.

We would be mocking the people who have been propping up this ridiculous, insane way of being, and we would be throwing them all out on their asses.

And we would be enraged that it took us this long to do so.

Seasoned career politicians are infinitely more ridiculous, crazy, risible and undignified than Ms Marianne Williamson, because the power structures and agendas they uphold are so transparently bat shit insane.

That does not mean Ms Williamson is special, it means they are freaks.

And if we ever get sane, we will immediately see them as such.
