sudden realization
What if we turned facile pop culture comparisons back onto shallow centrist ideology, much like Harry killing Voldemort by deflecting his own Killing Curse?
To rely on elections alone is to use a powerful magical spell to seal away the ancient evil; it will inevitably break loose and terrorize the people again. Only a sustained campaign against the roots of evil ideology will allow us to “gather and level up our party” so we can use Omnislash on - hgk - [swallows the bile rising in my throat] ugh - on the Dark Lord Chee'toragas.
*reblogs disapprovingly*
Have you even looked at popular media?
Villains are the only ones with the ambition, the will, and the plans to drive the world forward.
Villains act, heroes react. It is only by the actions of villains that the plot is driven forward. Heroes are nothing more than abominable tools of the status quo and every hierarchy that exists within it.
What has fighting for democracy gotten us in the past fifty years? Nothing but more pointless wars. The vain idealism of this country is nothing more than hollow self-gratification. It must be eliminated or transformed into something far greater.
We must immediately instate mandatory National Military Service for the nation’s youth. An assault rifle and a kukri for every able-bodied-and-minded American citizen. War production levels. Total national mobilization.
It’s time for America to go heel for real.
We will abolish the legislature and replace it with personnel from the RAND Corporation betting on outcomes of their new legislation, with a twenty billion dollar machine learning project at their fingertips intercepting information from all over the world. The cruelest and most frighteningly competent tech CEO will be chosen as the new Central Director for the North American Union, real identity concealed, and tasked with world dominion. The vast majority of Canadians live within 100 miles of the border. It will not be difficult to sweep them into the new project.
A reformed DARPA will be issued megaproject funding levels for geoengineering, exoskeletal powered armor, and cybernetic enhancement projects. The North American fleet will be outfitted with new hypervelocity railguns that cannot be stopped by mere Chinese missile intercept systems. The government will fund mass selective IVF to screen out genetic defects, and then full-on genetic engineering. “Naturals” will be made a special, separate insurance category so as not to drag on the state’s new unified military service based insurance program.
The power of eminent domain will be expanded dramatically. Old slums will be torn down and replaced with defensible, militarized housing complexes with dense public transportation and on-site commercial and light industrial complexes. Cities will be designed for high survivability in the event of nuclear war, and civil defense stations will be positioned throughout the country with multiple months of freeze-dried reserve foods in addition to water filtration systems and heavier weaponry required foreign land-based counter-invasion.
All convicted of murder, sex trafficking of minors, or unlawful sale of hard drugs will be summarily executed. Corporal punishment will be reintroduced and prison sentences will be halved or reduced to a third. The punishments for repeated offenses will square.
No longer will America engage in the half-hearted “regime change” of knocking over some pathetic middle eastern country with an illiteracy rate approaching 60% and then imagining that Liberal Democracy will instantly take root. Now, we play for keeps. Any country invaded will be subjected to a 20 year military governorship overwriting whatever aspects of the culture must be overwritten for the territory to be permanently held in the American sphere. No international apologies will ever be made. For anything.
New full-body armor with face-concealing helmets will be designed for our new heavy infantry units, including built-in augmented reality battlespace software. It is important that we provide a unique look to the faceless wall of power.
Then, and only then, having become a true sci-fi empire, can the 21st Century Protagonist emerge to instill real Freedomocracy™.
We can start tomorrow.
