The total politicization of our society has come at a ghoulish cost, the worst of which being that no one appears to notice just how inhuman the political process has made us. The addicts puffing on the pipe of electoral politics have allowed the brain worms of electoral politics to mar everything good in their lives, giving primacy to the sick freak show that we’re force-fed every four years. Families are shattered against it, trauma instilled, and friends and neighbors turn against one another for this ugly charade where nothing changes aside from societal fracturing. Instead, give us a monarchy, and how about lets clone Dasha “Sailor Socialism” Nekrasova by the thousands, and let her radiating goodness heal everyone she interacts with. I’d rather surround myself with hundreds of soft socialists if they came in the form of someone so obviously and unyieldingly kind as her. Her attitude reminds us that life should be more than the hideous masquerade that has encroached on everything good and pure in this world.
