You know the
New Normal? All those police-state indignities and assaults on liberty for
bogus and corrupt reasons, in the wake of the conspiracy-fueled terrorist
incident and the subsequent wars and debt? The preceding sentence sounds like an
absurd rant, but it is neither more nor less than a succinct objective
description of present politics!
What enrages
me about the New Normal is not its newness - actually I kind of dig the slick
modernizing of our oppression - but its damnable normality! The accursed stuck-on-stupid factor! We’re all expected
to believe the BS!
Actually, “new
normal” is a contradiction in terms, like “fresh stale” or “original plagiarism”
or “live dead” or “honest lie” or “genuine fake”.
