Does Port-au-Prince have a subway system? It seems doubtful – perhaps the new leader, Jimmy 'Barbecue' Cherizier, has it on his to-do list. After revamping the local contemporary art museum and finishing the city’s opera house, that is.
Then again, maybe it is too far down the list of priorities. After all, one’s enemies don’t eat themselves: Haiti, apparently, has been taken over by cannibal warlords. Yet given the low ebb of the country in general, this may turn out to be a turn for the better. Cannibal rulers, one would assume, have an interest making sure their populace is nice and juicy and plump.
On that note – let’s hope Jimmy doesn’t decide to invade the USA or the UK – he’d surely meet his match trying to gnaw through the extravagantly sized beauties living there, kept in top people-eater condition through their diets of biscuits and ultra-processed nuggets.
Port-au-Prince likely has no subway system because it is, in the words of The Donald, a ‘s*** hole country’. Although many of the types who constantly castigate their own countries (far too white and too boring) were caught in a reflex action of defending Haiti upon that comment’s airing, one might think the capturing of the state by a cannibal warlord might lead to a revision of such opinions. Knowing better than that, however, we shall not hold our breath.
A third world political carve up is always good grist for the media mill. Perhaps, cognisant of the fact that our own nations are becoming more dump-like by the day, we implicitly take it as a portent of things to come. We are still a little way off such a fate, thankfully: neither Sunak or Starmer strikes me as a budding people-eater, although Sunak certainly looks like he could do with the extra protein.
The press has, naturally, seized upon the new gangster rule of the s*** hole nation. Were these gangsters of a similar sartorial taste as the Prohibition-era USA then we might, at least, expect an increase the dress standards of poor Haiti, but even this benefit is unlikely to be forthcoming.
Were Port-au-Prince to have a subway system it seems doubtful whether it would be run as well as, say, Tokyo’s, or be as clean as Seoul’s. People, it could be presumed, would likely have their commutes to the local fruit and vegetable market rudely cut short by acts of indiscriminate violence or an impromptu voodoo ritual.
In that sense, it might actually be quite like the New York subway, where violence and crime is on the rise. Just recently a man was shot in the head after some altercation after someone done disrepeckted someone else or somethin’. This dramatic carriage redecoration came just after the governor of New York tried to dampen the bloodlust and crime on the subway by deploying 1,000 members of the National Guard.
Is it just me, or isn’t the deploying of armed troops to a city’s underground system a pretty clear indication of it being, well, a s***hole? Granted the Big Apple is not quite as rotten as Haiti, but let’s rather aim towards Singapore or Dubai as models of our urban environments, rather than spiralling into third worldism, replete with people poppin’ caps in each other on the way to work.
And not that it’s just NYC. To look at videos of many US cities – streets effectively becoming open-air madhouses for the drug addled – it is clear which trajectory they are currently on.
Perhaps Jimmy 'Barbecue' Cherizier is the man to halt the decline? Is it too late to get him on the ballot come November? There’s not much meat left on Biden’s rickety old frame, so Trump would have to watch out.
Get him in government, I say. It’d make a nice change from the globalists.
Whilst we’re at it: what’s the difference between a gang and government, anyway? The Bolsheviks were just a rabble until they had power, then they sat in the Kremlin and made the West collectively shake in their boots for the next 70-odd years.
Wikipedia gives the following definition of a gang:
“… a group or society of associates, friends, or members of a family with a defined leadership and internal organization that identifies with or claims control over territory in a community and engages, either individually or collectively, in illegal, and possibly violent, behaviour, with such behaviour often constituting a form of organized crime.”
Have I taken one red pill too many, or is that not just a description of government? Nepotistic groups of like-minded people colluding together in a structured way to rule over a territory, asserting its right to power through, in the last resort, violence. It would be tempting to say that the only difference is that the government does not act illegally – for it notionally makes the laws – but not even this can be guaranteed.
For is not a gang that sits atop the West’s power structures? If you can’t do the gang’s greeting – wax lyrical about equity, diversity and inclusion and the environment – then you are hardly likely to get very far. To get into where power lies requires, like becoming a Blood or Crip, showing one’s credentials and promising to toe the line.
What differentiates a gang and a government is, ultimately, legitimacy. Lent by institutions and processes, this itself is subject to abuse too. To delegitimise opponents is the favoured tactic of the modern state (think the ever-present ‘expert’, the constant reference to ‘misinformation’ and the deceit of ‘fact checking’). If you do not hold the right credentials or parrot the right catechisms then you’re not in the gang and will be treated with contempt. For proof, see any group which refused to kowtow to mandatory beliefs in recent years: vaccines, Brexit, the environment et cetera.
Don’t feel too sad about not being in their gang anyway. Who’d want to be in the same crew as Nick Clegg or Theresa May anyway? Much better to start your own gang. Who knows – maybe one day it will become a government.
Still, try and avoid eating your opponents where possible. The globalists are a bitter, sour lot: they’d only leave a bad taste in your mouth.
Dear Edward, what a great up-beat article. Indeed, the self-congratulating elite and supporting well-funded NGOs have done a rather splendid job of not killing the Golden Goose but, instead, torturing it, a bit of bestiality, more torture followed by a very slow painful death. Remember - at all times, do please vote Uni-party. You know is makes no sense.
Very interesting post Frederick. Your interpretation of government as gang is useful but aren’t gangs part of our lives from an early age? I was in a couple of gangs at school and although they didn’t feel benign at the time because they always involved some bullying, coercion and violence, they weren’t life threatening. I probably would be frightened all the time if still at school. Aren’t we supposed to mature and reject such gang behaviour? Yet bullying in society is frowned upon these days isn’t it? The more I join the dots, the more disgusted I am by the behaviour and ethos of societies
