What Is Housing, Under U.S. Capitalism?
"Hawaii - Paradise Turned to Hell"
Bold lies about a future that doesn’t exist characterize the Political Love Bombing of Narcissistic Empire Abuse. Kamala Harris, a historically documented power-abusing political candidate, fundamentally existing in our shared present moment - maintains the unmitigated audacity to campaign upon future fantasies, regarding our PRESENT MOMENT Metacrisis.
“Metacrisis,” a term well-defined by the work of Daniel Schmachtenberger and The Consilience Project, is the confluence of global crises including running up against scientifically identified human, planetary, and societal system boundaries. That’s our Metacrisis - an ecosystem of doom.
Political Narratives Don’t Add Up
There’s a serious housing shortage. As President, I will work in partnership with industry to build the housing we need. By the end of my first term, we will end America’s housing shortage by building 3 million new homes and rentals that are affordable for the middle class. ~Kamala Harris
Those claims constitute absurdist gaslighting by virtue of Harris’ good standing as Vice President of the current war pigging U.S. Presidential Administration, under a man named Joe Biden - the one and only POTUS of our present moment existence. NOW is the only reality we can truly share - and the only time for action that is ever available to us.
There is neither a remaining middle-class in our inflation-riddled corporate-owned nation, nor any certainty that the masses of our fellow impoverished Americans will survive clear and present dangers. It’s undeniable fact that history-scripting modern day wealth hoarding psychopaths characterized by The PayPal Mafia, other organized criminal empires, and their insane order-following cult victims, are immediate threats to our survival.
I’m building an economy where everyone can compete and have a real chance to succeed. Where everyone, regardless of who they are or where they start, has an opportunity to build wealth for themselves and their children. ~Kamala Harris
Lies and damn lies. Labor can’t build wealth in a world owned and run by billionaire heirs and their ever-present henchman. Capital owners have neither requirements to provide employment, nor obligations to share their hoarded wealth with the human labor and connected natural world that generated it through great sacrifice.
Hourly work is OVER. Entire families don’t OWN enough LABOR in their lifetimes to meet present day requirements. HOURLY WAGES are dispersed at the gunpoints of fascism and techno-feudalism, yet are ANCHORED to ZERO! One useless dollar of income, is NOT in fact, better than no income at all. Our lives are too valuable to waste upon unworthy and malevolent modern monarchies.
HOURLY PAY CAN NEVER CATCH UP TO EXPONENTIAL WEALTH and POWER EXPANSION - the financially demanded ultra-high standard for corporations and bankers.
People in poverty have no chance, but for a roll of the dice if they’re beautiful, talented, or athletic enough to be a tool of corporate tyranny. To become rich, you must be born that way. Zip code is the best indicator of your wealth. Nobody can build wealth who doesn’t have it already available to them by the virtue of connections - all underpinned by organized crime. Bread and circuses require bakers and performers to run their shows, but wealth will never trickle down to the slaves. It never has, in any empire. Rather, wealth gaps in empires grow until they explode like a fat tick on a healthy dog’s ass.
VP Harris is cravenly lying and future-tripping as propaganda, to in-crisis abuse victims of brutal austerity - with objectively bad thinking. Dishonestly and deceptively projecting out four years into pure illusion. Western societal scarcity, propagated as the American Dream, is a wholly manufactured phenomenon of genocidal colonialism.
Elections are LOVE BOMBING - the great con of focusing upon anything but solutions and life in our present moment. What about 78-year-old repeat candidate and offender Donald J. Trump? He’s not our present moment ANYTHING, but distraction - and his traveling Republican Party cult circus couldn’t suit the real perpetrators of our genocide any better. If LOVE is all we need, DISTRACTION is all the techno-feudalists and oligarchs require.
We Can’t Leave, But We Can Be Present
Here’s the ultimate question, Friends - wherever on this planet Earth you are in this present moment - whether you own a home and property, have a mortgage, rent, or are houseless - if the empire tells you the city or land you live in has been claimed, and you need to leave - WHAT can you do?
It’s happened in Hawaii - like a nuclear arms race - like Genghis Khan - like Oprah Winfrey and Mark Zuckerberg, who along with “dozens of ultra-rich investors” and other billionaires identified by Forbes Magazine research, now own 11% of Hawaii’s private land.
Rich people became rich by cheating and stealing, by lying and imprisoning, and by poisoning and murdering - never forget that. They just had the power to do it.
NO, THE RICH DON’T deserve the wealth they hoard, while society bears the negative externalities of their unhinged and insatiable greed.
“People in the future are gonna look back on that and say exactly here’s the pathways why that person turned out to be who they were… And oh, ‘what barbarians people were back in the early 21st Century - imprisoning some people and punishing them, based on not understanding this. Or, telling other people that they are better, more worthy humans because they turn out to be more smart at something, and thus can do a successful hostile takeover of somebody’s corporation.” ~Robert Sapolsky, Stanford University, John A. and Cynthia Fry Gunn Professor, Professor of Biology, of Neurology and of Neurosurgery
“America’s richest have been buying in Hawaii for years, but no one knew exactly how extensive their holdings were. Forbes spent months digging through thousands of property records on Hawaii’s six biggest islands. The results were astonishing.” ~Forbes Magazine, Feb 17, 2024
Moral Injury and Colonialism
Our American gaslighting is as BRIGHT as an exhausted medical student using ChatGPT, as THICK as milkshakes when McDonald’s had working restaurant machinery, and as HARD as a Boomer POTUS penis pumped-up tremendously on Viagra.
What childish and transparent lies, Madam Vice President Harris is spinning during her oligarch party-owned war time trail of campaigns. I only wish it were beneath the former snickering prosecuting attorney, to misrepresent a future which doesn’t exist but for the gaslighting of sleeping cult victims. We require new systems and new incentives, as the lies of corporate fascism and techno-feudalist ghouls have overwhelmed our abilities to create and maintain livable communities.

Successful, thus PEACEFUL communities must be both connected to nature, and in harmony with supporting planetary life. In such systems, negative EXTERNALITIES created by innovation would be weighed fully against the benefits of any claimed new business, product, or claimed benefit. All innovation must be HUMANE. What a different world we could have TODAY, were we to join together in humanity NOW - not at the end of a scheming prospective future U.S. President’s illusory “term.” Perpetrators of the abusive U.S. Dollar hegemony-driven Ponzi scheme will never save us from mass human suffering and death - as our corrupt American Empire inevitably ends.
I consider people, our neighbors who are homeless and living on the streets today, victims of our genocide in progress. What do you think they are? How often do you think about the fact that you, too - could be on the street, as a victim of billionaires and corporations who took the land from under your feet. Or, at a very minimum made it uninhabitable. Bankers and billionaires make the rules, and win their rigged games every time. Their game was created to OWN you.
Imagine attempting a game of MONOPOLY if psychopaths stole and hoarded the Money, Chance Cards, Apartments, Houses, and Property Deeds. That's us - the dying proletariat of morally bankrupt nationalist empires and soulless techno-feudalists. Survival requires awakening to this broken, unplayable illusion.
Your Taxes Are Irrelevant To The Empire
Our taxes are extortion and debt to us, yet a great sick-joke to the Military Industrial Complex and Bankers - because Income Taxes don’t amount to a non-edible “hill of beans,” on the scale of WW3-stoking, regime-change obsessed, egomaniacal, money printing oligarchs.
Your taxes are wasted upon their lies, like a dirty penny in the gutter which they wouldn’t stoop to pick up, other than for a superstition about getting LUCKY. Ah, but they’re already beyond lucky - they’re rich - through war, torture, slavery, organized crime, and the hoarding of everything a planet full of human beings requires for the survival of our species.
Remember: Scapegoats are cravenly chosen - not accurately identified. Don’t ever think an oligarch or politician is genuine, like you, or on your side. More than anything, they don’t want to be like us!
“My Tax Dollars!”
The “my tax dollars” narrative supports asking for power via wealth, but on a scale where those in the 99% have NO HOPE of attaining it. Begin your perceptions and present moment thinking - far outside the boxes of solutions offered by the wholly-owned-by-bankers U.S. Government colonialist policies. Hamilton Nolan published a piece today, about a currently deployed and standard failing-empire strategy - privatizing the ownership of public goods and resources. The result of which is more manufactured scarcity and inequality.
Governments claim the colonial real estate you reside upon by chance, absent “Free Will” - even our PUBLIC PLACES - they control those too.
“If you really go for this ‘there’s no free will’ stuff - blame and punishment are intellectually and ethically gibberish. Praise and reward are as well. Feeling as if you have earned anything that anyone has earned anything, that you were entitled to anything. That there’s such a things as justice being carried out - that there’s such a thing as justice. None of that makes any sense at all, and we’ve got to navigate stuff from there. Which is where the… ‘oh my God’, how are you supposed to function with that?” ~Robert Sapolsky, Stanford University, John A. and Cynthia Fry Gunn Professor, Professor of Biology, of Neurology and of Neurosurgery
Where can you go - where can we go together - RIGHT NOW IN THIS PRESENT MOMENT, when they claim ownership of everything including the public square - and you can’t pay the rent required to exist anywhere? Humanity must design new NON-MONOPOLY game boards and new rules - eliminating the vile learned helplessness and desperation of gambling upon the dice rolls of rigged games, to output peaceful human survival. Oligarch “deeds” to OUR homeland are inherently invalid.
We must make systems and incentives that are so, or suffer the same fate as other peoples and cultures genocided by colonial tyranny throughout human history. It’s literally a crime to be homeless in America, and the Prison Industrial Complex is waiting for us with legalized slavery. Where are human compassion and empathy? We won’t survive without them. What monstrous present moment is OURS - this present moment right NOW, in which we accept insanity as a means, to the black hole of ends called “shareholder profit maximization”?
Watch “Hawaii: Paradise Turned to Hell”
Colonial “land ownership” conveys the power to defile and exploit lands and peoples like those of Hawaii - to falsely separate our naturally connected world and its inhabitants. I was deeply moved by this excellent documentary short film, from Tyler Oliveira. The Hawaiian experience of colonial abuse - Narcissistic Empire Abuse, is being replicated here in North America - abundance be damned! Manufactured scarcity through ownership, is a legendary serial killer.
Food, Shelter, and Medical Care are Human Rights
The rent is too damn high and no solutions are offered that will save our housing, or maintain our shared access to nature, land, and vital life-supporting resources. Without housing we’re all permanently camping - or maybe refugees who aren’t even allowed to exist outside of defined detention camp conditions.
Will native born Americans get reservations to flee to for our self-preservation? What is this system of ownership that we accepted by virtue of our birth upon these empire-claimed lands of Earth? Where do we go NOW, when the rent NOW on EVERYTHING we need to survive including land, is just “too damn high”?
