I just realized what it is about this jack dorsey that i couldnt quite put my finger on it..

cuz someone earlier mentioned that he looks like he has been smoking crack... i disregarded that comment because i am so used to people slinging insults online.. but then i thought about it... he looks like he has been on the dope hard... core..

san francisco has a crystal meth and crack cocaine epedemic.. both of those drugs are very popular with those that are hardcore lgbt.. the word is that many gay men get hooked on both the drugs and the gay sex while on the drugs..

dorsey is queer as a three dollar bill and he is a dope fiend.

i would almost bet my life on it.

he just has that look.. i know that look.. i spent three years in the heart of san francisco.. the tenderloin.. so i can look at this guy and tell you that the bitch is high and burnt out..

and he is trying to pull off what would be a dope fiend's dream scam..

to steal the white house.

he needs to be stopped, spare no expense.

This brings up a wider phenomenon.

Since the 1960s, there has been a well-recognized but never addressed bifurcation of how we handle illicit substance use.

The poor are run through "the system" and destroyed for use of drugs.

The rich are untouched and often even celebrated for the same behavior. Think the David Crosby phenomenon, or Elon Musk, and now as you point out Jack Dorsey. But these are not just the famous. I have acquaintances from the upper classes of California who are not famous, but are financially secure. They are largely engineers, and they used drugs for twenty years like nobody's business. They were basically untouched from a legal standpoint, as long as the work got done.

Using drugs - not occasionally but constantly - in itself creates a completely fucked-up world view. Then, using these drugs while simultaneously being rewarded as "the best and the brightest"? This takes this effect and creates a really bizarre mutant culture which we are now being subject to as our censors. The idea that these people are now considered the judges of "acceptable morality" leaves me at a loss for words. They have no sense of what non-drug-induced reality looks like. How they hell are they supposed to exercise judgement?

I'm guessing a similar culture was in place at the end of the Roman Empire, when wealth allowed one group to so distance itself from the foundation on which their "wealth" was premised that they lost touch with reality. It looks like it has happened again in the west.

The interesting piece to me is China. The CCP has clearly worked their way into the corruption at our highest levels and is now in a position to pull the strings. What I don't know is if the high members of the CCP are similarly "drug-compromised" or if they still hold sufficient sobriety to maintain the control they have gained.

The US as a client state of the CCP. I didn't see it coming, and maybe we won't get there, but it is the current trend.

What crazyness can follow this? The story just keeps surprising us.
