"This marvelous piece from El Gato Malo is exactly what happens when all that remains is power (https://open.substack.com/pub/qolrm/p/when-all-that-remains-is-power?r=7hc45&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web)"

few have put this as well as frank zappa:

and as we reach the end of the social democracy bubble and it dies in debt and debasement, life will imitate art.

the machine shows itself as its illusions grow threadbare and transparent.

and then comes the fist.

you will see this all over the world. it’s not an accident, it’s the emergent needs of regimes that are out of rope, out of money and credit, have nothing of value to sell you, and who cannot fool you anymore.

they will censor, vilify, and ultimately attack.

the astonishing inversions to come would have made orwell blanch. (bold mine)

President Alberto Fernández had called for the investigation in a complaint filed Wednesday, saying that the right-wing populist candidate was trying to scare the public and that his actions were “a severe affront to the democratic system.”

Prosecutor Franco Picardi on Friday referred a criminal case to a federal judge, going off Fernández's accusation that claimed Milei and other candidates on his party's ticket were inciting public fear — a charge that carries possible prison terms of up to six years. Federal Judge María Servini will later decide whether there is enough evidence to indict.

it’s becoming a cartoon.

but this is also the sign that it is ending.

you cannot sustain the illusion of freedom in the face of such blatant machinations and visible manipulation.

and as that dies, so too does legitimacy.

and so the test shall be one of resolve and of we the people and the extent to which we prize our liberty.

all over the world, the rot is plain to see. it has all stepped out into the open and the nature of the double standards

and of the deal being forced upon us are being laid plain.

and it’s time to wake up and smell what is being shoveled

for these were not the principles upon which our republic was founded

and that which has supplanted it is noxious to our freedom.
